Darling? thought Rora. Even she barely was able to withhold a raised eyebrow. "Thank you so very much, I promise I'm not picky. Just a hot bowl of soup and a roll would satisfy me fine." She paused, taking time to look up into his eyes. "Oh, but you'll stay with me, right? I don't trust many men. The... the things they do..." A tear started to slip down the side of her face, but she quickly moved to wipe it off. "It's just difficult sometimes, being a woman."

"Aye, it can be," Jonn said with as much sympathy as he could muster. He smiled broadly at her and offered an arm to lean upon -- when suddenly a loud bang! sounded from beyond the gates.

In the distance, a small trail of smoke began to waft into the air, just past the treeline.

Jonn let out a curse. Could his luck be any worse?! Obviously he'd have to go out there and check it out, and in the meantime lose his chance to accompany this pretty little thing to the kitchens."Looks like I've got work, darling," he said to Rora, "but I'll come check on you as soon as I'm done here. Promise!"

The guards gathered up to investigate the explosion, leaving the girl with the crooked-nosed guard to escort her toward the kitchens. As the two of them disappeared around the corner and toward the main manor, the guard turned to Rora.

"You're better than your reputation suggests,"
he said in Pavel's voice.

Rora watched as the guards ran off, not even bothering to respond to John. She just gave him sad eyes when he gazed at her and decided that was enough to not seem suspicious. The chances of her ever seeing him again were slim, anyway.

She glanced over at the odd looking guard next to her. Had he been there before? She had been so occupied with wooing John she hadn't even noticed him sneak in. But, even if she was busy, she was used to keeping her eyes and ears open... he couldn't have been a normal guard. As they turned around the corner, she was just about to start enchanting him, to see who he was when—

"And so, it seems, are you. Ah, but I suppose that would imply I knew of your reputation to begin with," she responded. Although she wouldn't say it out loud, she was impressed. "But if you are here, who created that distraction?"

"A simple length of fuse, cut to the right time," said the Pavel-voice, even as the guard ushered Rora toward a side door that clearly led to the manor's kitchen. Even at this hour, there were lights in the window and the smell of fresh-baked bread overwhelmed the area.

True enough, the ovens were still lit when they stepped inside. The sour looking cook gave them a glare but said nothing as he continued to knead a ball of wet flour into dough.  This wasn't the first time Jonn had invited in some little tart at an ungodly hour. 

As they passed into the next room, a dark pantry that smelled of onions and garlic, Pavel quietly pulled her in and out of view.  "The lord will be in his chambers, on the highest levels.  I will follow your lead up.  But remember, I only have one life to take.  You must do the rest.  And Edvard ... he's the tall one with the glass eye, but he is suspicious and watchful and will see all."

"Glass eye?" Rora spit out. "You should have mentioned that earlier... I don't suppose you'll tell me he's gay next?" Her powers of compulsion required eye contact, and a glass eye was going to halve the potency. She sighed. "How long do you need in the lord's chambers?" Given the explosion that had happened earlier, Rora guessed that she would only have to distract Edvard and a couple other guards. But to do even that, and to do it in a way that would allow her to get out suspicious free, was going to be difficult.

"His bedroom preferences are not known to me," Pavel replied as distantly as any person could have managed.  "Nor are any of his other smaller vices. Unfortunately, even my best efforts could not reveal those details. A careful man."

A dagger flashed in the palm of his hand briefly, and then it was gone again, likely up his sleeve.

"Once I am inside, I will need seconds at most. If he has small valuables on him, jewels and the like... I will pick them up for you."  For her, he reminded himself again.  He was no thief. 

Nor was he a killer but some things were beyond his control.
