Giving her a small wave Andis turned and started to walk away. He was a bit disappointed it had ended there. "Maybe the next one" he muttered to himself with a bit of a chuckle. It wasn't odd for him to flirt a tad bit with some of the females that came into the city wanting directions. "Better head home before the old man worries to much. Mom might be a little mad to" he laughed taking off towards his house in a graceful and long stride sprint.

As Lyria moved through the crowd, she kept her ears open; not for the words of passersby, but for the sound of coin jingling in purses, the louder the better for those were the ones that held the most money. "Hmm...Nothing to really make it worth the effort, nor anything that screams 'fun bounty to be had'...." she said to herself before eyeing some side alleys. The gears in her head began to turn. If she could find that guard from before, she could have plenty of fun and loot today. First she had to find some low-down crooks to manipulate.

{I apologize profusely for not replying sooner. I had a family reunion to attend today and I've been getting back into Origins as of late. *totally plans on replying the games yet again - nerdy of me, I know* If I don't post as much or as quicky, I sincerely apologize. I will still be keeping track, though.}
"I'll tell you my name if you tell me yours." the blonde lied, to start things off. "Thanks. Though I can't really see why you'd think I'm smart. I can hardly pro-prono-nou-n-nah-na-nuh-nounce half the words I say." Dahlia let on a small smile, still refusing to make herself look like someone with an IQ higher than zero. "I still can't see why you think I'm a mage, either. I'm really not half as smart as I look." A few moments later, she then joked, "I wouldn't be five feet away from home if I was."

As the brothers walked, Soren saw a child trying to reach for some candy at a shop. He walked over and payed for it, but when he presented the sweet to the kid it screamed and ran away from him. Soren sighed and looked down as Salem came up and patted him on the back. "Hey, don't get so down. Kids don't like lots of people." he said and took the candy and ate it. Soren nodded with a sad sigh and followed his brothers again.

"You are twice as smart as you look, bas saarebas, and I know you are that because I can sense the power inside of you. It is a power that is, I believe, unique to my people." Then she pursed her lips. "And I have told you my name. It is Saarebas."
"Saarebas!" Nexus approached his friend, noting the woman beside her. "I sincerely hope you've brought another one. I have five bedrooms and three in use. Things shouldn't be this quiet. What's your name, darling?" He winked at the blonde, grinning at her. "Hope Saarebas hasn't bothered you too much. Qunari don't understand us silly, chaotic creatures that well."

"Oh, you did? Terribly sorry. I can be so forgetful sometimes." Dahlia let out a soft sigh. No escaping it, was there? "I'm Elise. Please, do be careful about that magicky talk though. I'd rather not get killed for something I'm not." There was already one Templar looking for her back in Ferelden. She didn't need more looking about for her, knowing anything of value what-so-ever about her, even if it was just her first name.
'Elise' winked back at Nexus, a grin soon forming upon her lips as well. "Qunari? I didn't know females were allowed outside Par Vollen..." She didn't realise until afterwards, of course, that already she had slipped up. A moron would've just stand there, gawked, and probably asked something along the lines of "Cue-what?" Or they would've screamed and ran off, not wanting to be 'eaten' or something by the 'giant'. "Oh, no bother. I'm just explaining that I'm not quite as mage-y as I apparently look."

"Women are generally not allowed to leave Qunari homelands," Saarebas rumbled as she guided the mageling towards the home of Nexus. "But I am Saarebas, the only woman saarebas in all of Par Vollen. My role cannot be reduced to anything except Saarebas. This is why I am here, in Kirkwall. When I came here, I escaped the Qun and shunned the Tal-Vashoth. You are mage as well, no matter how many times you try to deny it. No noble would dare report you to the templars if you are under my protection. They remember the power of Qunari. They remember Saarebas."
"Oh, hush, Saarebas," Nexus said with a chuckle. "Listen, Elise, I don't care if you're mage or not. I can tell you're homeless. I know these things. You can stay in my place. If you don't have the money, you can work. Oh, and I want you to meet my lover." Nexus kissed a young man on the lips, then smirked at Elise. "He's Antivan. I have to wear armor whenever we go to bed or he might stab me." They shared another quick kiss.

Running thru the streets it was't long before Andis's house came into view as he slowed to a trot upon reaching the door. He was dashed in sweat from his run but felt good none the less. "The champion returns" he called as he entered being greeted by his mother and father. "I will join you soon for dinner I simply need to remove this armor" he said with a wave walking past them as he headed to the room he had lived in since his raising. Setting to work taking off his armor it wasn't long before he had removed it all and wiped his body clean of the sweat that had started to form. Returning in a more common pair of clothing he walked to the table taking his seat as the woman put a plate infront of him.
"So then how was your run you seemed to take longer then expected this time. What decide to go for an extra distance" his father asked only to receive a light tap on the back of his head by the woman. "Leave the boy alone Arlen if you will remember you were like that once" she said with a smile before sitting down. "Ah see what you did now you made your mother angry" Arlen said with a laugh looking to his wife.
"I am sure father tho your words are what sparked it" Andis said grinning. "As pertaining to your questions no I ran into a traveler towards the gates that seemed lost on things in the city. "Even off duty I assisted her in finding a few places in the city. Since most of the travelers that come in here need the help I was glad to assist" he smiled. "A pity I couldn't show her around a bit more" he laughed thinking about the girl.
(I can only imagine how this party will eventually form.)

"You thieving b***h, get back here!"
A small mob of angry thieves and scoundrels chased Lyria as she led them through town, weaving her way down side alleys as she made her way back towards the area she met Andis in. "Help! Someone, please help!!" she cried with a look of fake innocence as she ran. In truth, she deserved this. In truth, she could probably take them easily. In truth, this was just as planned.
((You may now make your Death Note jokes accordingly.))

(Gaurds to the rescue lol since Andis isn't around I can just RP the city guards since he is one.)
"Woah woah woah ma'am" a man said stepping infront of the little thief standing almost two feet taller then her he stared down. "What's all this about? Is there a something wrong" he questioned hearing the yelling mob coming towards the woman as he moved stepping to place himself between her and the mob. He was a guard and one of the largest ones that Kirkwall held. "Citzens calm down this mockery of peace in the city" the man yelled. His voice even above the yelling of the crowd boomed as he stood there his shield risen and held just infront of his chest. "Silence this rabble or I will have you all thrown in irons" he called looking at them. simply waiting till they calmed down some before taking more action.

Lyria frowned slightly that it wasn't Andis coming to her rescue, but it lasted for only a second before she dashed around behind the guard. He'd have to do. "I-I don't know! Those men just started chasing me, and I have no idea why!" she said doing a good job of pretending to act timid and scared. She'd had the practice putting on such acts in the past, and she had yet to meet a man that didn't take her side.
"WHAT?! You little liar, you came up and starting flirting with us before stealing our coin purses and running off!!" the lead bandit said angrily as he pointed a finger at Lyria as she cowered behind the guard.
"It's not true, I swear! I could never dream of stealing from another soul!" Lyria said looking up at the guard with pleading and desperate puppy dog eyes.

"Just shut up for a minute" the guard said as he had mostly calmed down the rabble. "If this is true and this girl has taken the coins that you said she did then she should have no problem proving that she hasn't" he told them looking back at the girl. "This is a city of fairness and should she prove she doesn't possess such things you will leave this squabble and go about your lives or it's the cells for all of you for a night for disturbing the peace" he yelled taking a step forwards and looking down at the girl. "Now then miss could you please empty your pockets and prove these men nothing but old codgers" he said looking down at the girls pleading eyes.
(Lol guard doing his job and not taking sides lol.)

"Certainly, sir." This was why Lyria always carried two coin purses. Digging through her pockets, she pulled out a relatively empty purse which she emptied into her hand, revealing no more coins than any other traveler would have on them. Her real coin purse was cleverly hidden in her cleavage, because her motto was 'no one take what they'll never touch.'

"I appologize for this in advance miss but it's the way of proving your innocence" the guard said leaning down as he pressed his hands to her sides running them down to feel for anything hidden still in her pockets. Pulling his hands away as he found none he turned to the crowd pulling the nearly empty coin purse with him. "Is this what was stolen? No more coin then any traveler brings with them to this city. Well I may say this is quite a fortune" he laughed handing the bag back to the woman as he turned back to the crowd. "As you have no proof other then your word that this woman has stolen from you take this crowd and return to your lives" the man yelled a warning to all of them. Several more of the guards were slowly staring to arrive as this guards shouting had alerted them.

"Bullshit! She musta done something with the loot or somethin'! She stole our stuff! I saw her!" the bandit leader cried before realizing the number of guards that were starting to show up. "Better sleep with one eye open, you b***h! We'll get you for this!!" he shouted as the group made a hasty retreat.
"Oh, thank you, kind sir! Thank you so much! How can I ever show my gratitude?" Lyria said clasping her hands together as she looked up at the guard.
