Evanna glanced around the room, more paranoid than intimidating. She caught the eye of a girl near the back, tapping her fingers and looking around cautiously. She narrowed her eyes, but turned her attention back to Savannah.

Zoe raised her eye but didn't say anything as she kept looking and thanked the waiter that got her some tea.

Savannah gave Damien a small, polite wave. "What's going on, Evanna? You know you can tell me anything, I can handle it." She pushed her plate away from herself and tapped one foot on the cold, cobbled stone floor.

Damian's head fell to the table. "This is the worst." Taking a deep breath he stood up and walked to the counter and ordered one beer. "No, you don't need to be drinking. Why don't you just go talk to the girl if your curious?" He took one last glance over. "With the axe girl, no thanks. And it's not like I wanted to talk with her in the first place." The beer was slid across the counter and he began to drink it. Sliva just rolled her eyes and went back to work.

Savannah gave Damien a small, polite wave. "What's going on, Evanna? You know you can tell me anything, I can handle it." She pushed her plate away from herself and tapped one foot on the cold, cobbled stone floor.

Evanna shook her head and let out a laugh. "Nahh, it's nothing. I'm just a bit paranoid is all."

"Are you sure? If there's a problem I want to resolve it, Evanna." Savannah fidgeted with her napkin before folding it and laying it beside her plate.

Zoe cocked her head a bit before she read the file name. Wait seriously really? She thought to her to herself in annoyance before pulling the hood of her cloak over her head and proceeding to grab the bag before going over to the bartender to ask him some questions.

"It's nothing we can simply resolve, my dear, but you need not worry. You're safe with me. Do you believe that?" Evanna raised an eyebrow.

"Of course I believe that I'm safe with you, but that doesn't change the fact that something is going on. It's kind of important for me to know these things, Evanna."

Evanna ran a hand through her hair. "Well, there's a bounty on your head. Happy?" She said, trying to ignore the nagging in the back of her head.

"Not particularly, but good to know I suppose." Savannah shrugged. "If you don't mind my asking, how much is the bounty and who wants me dead?"

Damian watched as a cloaked girl sat at the bar. "Some many people I haven't seen before." He chugged down the rest of his beer.

Evanna sighed. "We don't know who it is, we've been trying to find out. The bounty is 23,500 tyns." (I just made that up we'll pretend one is equal to a US dollar, but that's a lot anyway)

"Pretty hefty, hmm? Whoever it is clearly is very determined." Savannah sipped her water calmly, twirling a strand of her hair around her finger.

"Wait so you're saying that they specifically them are all the way over there?!" Zoe exclaimed as she took a sip from her tea, "Yeah, anything else?" The bartender asked while they were serving people some drinks. Zoe sighed and rubbed her temple. "No actually that would be all thank you for your generosity." Zoe thanked them before shoving a chair out of the way and headed for the exit.

"What was that about?" The door opened once more and Damian knew that face and he didn't like it. "Same me a beer for when I come back." Damian, nodded to the back alleyway and the man left as Damian went through the kitchen to the back door.

Zoe mumbled angrily to herself as she walked down the back alleyway. "Seriously I mean what the heck is in the bag anyway?!" Zoe was about to open it, but reminded herself that people were around. She scanned her surroundings before climbing up on the rooftop.

"Where's my money Damian?" Damian back away a bit, he hated getting into fights. "I just need a bit more time." The guy known as Harrison, balled up his hands and went to throw a punch. Damian dodged to the right and grabbed his arm and held it behind his back. "Just give me a bit more time I said." He pulled Harrison's arm up, anymore and it would break. "Fine, fine." Releasing his grab, Harrison glared at him before walking off. Damian clicked his tongue and leaned against the wall.

Zoe watched all the commotion from her perch unsure if she should go down there and check on him and reveal her identity or just stay up there or leave. After pausing to think for a minute, Zoe pulled on a mask that covered her mouth and silently went down, to a lower perch.

"Ah, man. Okay think." He was a good fighter and hunter, so he could catch some animals and sell them to get a bit of money. "Hunting seems to be the best choice right now." He pulled up his sleeves which showed a little black bird tattoo on his right bicep. "I need my bow."

Zoe cocked her head to the side, this man seemed poor or was just in debt from the gang. Zoe took a quick glance around before silently she tossed him a bag of coins before disappearing.

"Pretty hefty, hmm? Whoever it is clearly is very determined." Savannah sipped her water calmly, twirling a strand of her hair around her finger.

Evanna harrumphed. "You're lucky you have me." She grumbled, and got up to get a drink. She settled back down with her beer, sipping thoughtfully.

"Very. I suppose that's why you won't let me go anywhere alone?"

"One of em. That, and it's my job to keep a constant eye on you."

"I know, but still. I do like to have fun every once in a while." Savannah sighed, fidgeting with a fork. "I've got a lot of responsibility that I never asked for and it's exhausting."

Something hit Damian's head hard with a thump. "Ow," he rubbed his head and looked to the sky. It seemed to have fallen from nowhere, which he found strange. He knelt down next to a brown bag the had coins. "What the?" Looking around one more time he picked it up and held it in his hand. He wasn't sure if he should find the owner or keep it for himself. The door opened wide when he pushed it open walking back into the inn. "My beer please." He sat down, keeping the bag in his lap.

"I know, but still. I do like to have fun every once in a while." Savannah sighed, fidgeting with a fork. "I've got a lot of responsibility that I never asked for and it's exhausting."

Evanna sighed, which she seemed to do quite often. "Yes, I know. I was your age once, too. But as for the responsibility, you could hand that down to your brother once he's of age." She took another gulp of her beer.
