Seven stared at the woman for a long moment before giving her a blink.
"You know, most think I'm pretty agile, even graceful on my feet," he corrected before giving her a smirk, but a cry from outside made him nearly leap out of his skin.

"My tent! My tent!" a man shrieked. "Who did this!?" he continued to exclaim, hands to his cheeks as he muttered in his own native tongue and made markings to his gods. "By the spirits, this is a catastrophe!" Then noticing the moving lumps, the man stalked forward and yanked the orange tent fabric off the pair of them, and instantly his eyes fell onto the shimmering blue fabrics of Seven's silken robes. But what made his eyes really widen was the gold embroidered '7' on the back. The man gasped.

"YOU!" And he pointed a long finger at Gherrick. "It's you! The notorious pirate, Seven!" then he made the same markings as before and whispered to his gods. "By the sun's sweet graces, the famous criminal is here in Essyrn of all places!" Then he lifted his head and bellowed, "Guards! Guards!" ANd soon a trio of gruff looking men at the end of an ally turned their way. "We have a criminal, the famous pirate, Seven of the Sea!"

Seven's face dropped when he saw the guards narrow their gaze upon him and instantly draw their swords, so he turned to Milani and gave a polite bow.
"Well, it was nice talking to you, but I gotta run." And he didn't waste another minute before dashing away from there, and was soon rounding the bend of one of the many narrow alleys of Essyrn.

Milani returned the smirk. "I think blushing puts you off balance."  Then she shook off her amusement. She had business to do. But before she could get herself back on track, she heard the cry from outside.

Milani stared at Seven with sudden dismay and suspicion. Criminal? she thought to herself. Milani didn't like to associate with criminals. They were usually dirt poor and caked with grime, despite her earlier claims. But Seven couldn't be a criminal; he had beautiful silken clothes, and he smelled like the sea, not poverty. But even if he was...Milani weighed the two things in her mind, and decided his having silken clothes were more important.

Jumping to her feet, she watched as the guards stalked towards them across the marketplace, pushing people aside. She neatly rearranged her hair and watched Seven take off, her calm and efficient exterior returning.

"He is quite agile. Hm."

Seven was used to a good chase from guards, but in Essyrn... he was in foreign territory. Though it was funny, having never been to this place before, it was rather interesting to realize his fame had followed him, even to the desert. But he could dwell on that later, for now he had a trio of guards to dodge.

Left, right, then quick ladder up;  Gherrick was now crawling along the second tier of many sand stone erected streets of a middle-class housing section of town. And as he passed, gasps and screams could be heard, especially when the guards began to gain on him and Gherrick decided to wonder into some of the houses in attempts to lose the guards, apologizing as he dashed along.

One family was eating dinner, another; an older woman was getting her wigs readjusted, which the stylist accidentally destroyed by cutting off too many inches on one side as the blue-blur of a man rushed passed, then another house, a lovely young lady was bathing, who screamed as the red-haired man was booking it past her. Needless to say, Gherrick's face was red from more than just the exertion of running as he bolted out the back door and began to stumble down the back alley, and found himself along another tiered set of sandstone lipped streets.

Where to now? he wondered as he caught his breath, then with a glance up, he studied the distance between him and the next row of houses, five tiers up. He glanced down at his bow staff, then back up, before making a quick judgement...
and was suddenly catapulting himself across the air, landing precariously on the lipped edging of the top most tiered street. his arms pinwheeled a moment before he balanced himself and looked back down, to where the guards were all growling, several tiers below him, like dogs.

Seven grinned and gave the men a shrug, before disappearing  behind the houses above.

Milani found herself standing toe to toe with the tent-owner, who was nearly her same height. He continued his tirade after a big breath and was nearly accosting her when a stranger thrust himself between her and the relentless man.

"You should not speak to her this way," he said coldly. "It is not your place." He was of medium height, and strong in build, with long brown hair and black eyes.

"She knocked over my whole tent! Her and that criminal! That Seven!"

"Clearly she was a victim of that criminal just as much as you were," replied the stranger. His imperious glance and words soon cowed his opponent into submission. He was apologizing for his ill manners when the stranger finally drew Milani away, one strong calloused hand on her forearm.

"Who are you?" Milani asked, pulling her arm from his grip.

"Who are you?" repeated the man, turning to her with a sudden, disturbing smile. "You should ask: Who am I? And I would tell you." He grabbed her forearm once again with an iron grip, and began towing her through the marketplace. "I would tell you: you are mine now."

Milani made no struggle as the man led her through the streets, but held her head up high as if he were a regal escort. But her mind was racing, and before they got where they were going she resolved to hide the relic from this man, who she was sure, was now her new master.

With the guards lost on his trail, Seven could breath a little easier as he wove his way through the streets of Essyrn. There was sure a lot going on today, and the place was about ten times busier, bigger and more crowded then Reajh. He sat upon a roof top, marveling at it's unique beauty, white-washed buildings, bleached from the harsh sun sitting in rows and tiered layers where in the valleys were nests of colorful tents, sights, sounds, people and animals.

Smiling, Seven just let his blue eyes digest the world below, and was surprised to notice a woman below he recognized. He observed her a moment, watching her walk along with a man on her arm with idle interest as he leaned against his red bow staff, temple pressing against it as he sighed, blowing a flop of red hair out of his face.

"I've heard of you," Milani said quietly, composed. "Siyam...you sell Thanati silk for much too high a price, and export spices to Adela. They say you are both cruel and brilliant."

"I am also powerful," said Siyam. "You like power."

"I like wealth," she corrected. To which he responded: "There is no difference."

"I'm surprised Kaulo let me go," Milani murmured. She was eying a stone well that they were approaching in a large courtyard. She knew that it drew water from a cistern deep below the city, 'The Underground Palace,' it was sometimes called. Milani also knew that there was another entrance into the cistern.

When she tuned back into the conversation, Siyam was bragging about how much he'd paid for her--which she found both gratifying and crude. With a final burst of strength, she ripped her arm from out of his grip once more and raced to the well. She tossed the relic from her sari down into the cistern's depths. It flashed gold once in the sunlight before it was gone.

Gherrick hadn't realize he was staring until it was too late, and he found himself witnessing the woman tearing herself away from the other man's grasp as she sped out into a run. He was already on his feet, blue eyes wide as he watched her near the well, and didn't waste another moment as he leaped down from the roof top, landing gracefully into a crouch beside the well. Giving Milani a smirk, he twirled his bow staff but once before positioning himself between her and the man making chase.

"I believe the woman doesn't wish to be in your presence," Seven informed Siyam, not realizing the man now owned the girl.

Milani turned from the well to meet the pirate's smirk. She listened to the echoes of the relic falling, listening for the splash. All the while Siyam's grew red with anger.

"She will be in my presence, whether she wishes it or not," he hissed. "Move aside pirate, before I fetch the guards. She is mine, and she will do as I say and whatever I please..."

Milani sighed. "Maybe you'd better let me handle him," she murmured to Seven.

Yeah, it seemed the man hadn't heard him, so Seven, at her request, gave a nod and bored yawn to Siyam's prattlings.
"I think you didn't hear me, so let me reiterate... She wants you to leave her alone." And that was his last warning before Siyam seemed about ready to burst with rage, and without a second thought- Gherrick's bow staff came down, cracking him across the head before twirling gracefully and then swoop, took him out by sweeping out his feet.

He moved to Milani, taking her hand.
"Come on, let's get out of here!" and he moved to pull her away.
