Thalia grinned wickedly, her mood mixed between trying to talk to the queen and satisfy a customer, "Mhm! Y-you're eyes the earrings!", she said nodding, "Wow, yes it-it would!". Thalia breathed nearly squealing aloud, the queen liked her jewelry, and even wanted to purchase a piece, She looks stunned, it's amazing, completes my appearance. Thalia's thoughts raced as she stood holding up the necklace. "I-I have some more things if you'd like to see?", she smiled awkwardly, there were a few more things in the pouch, like a silver ring in the shape of a thorn crown with some leaves sticking out, the leaves and small sapphires were in an alternating pattern and in the front there is a small sapphire in the shape of a teardrop, and a hairpin in the shape of a flower the petals as pearls and the core as yellow garnet.

Hyolyn could only really painfully grimace under the guise of a polite smile. They truthfully didn't have much to say in any event, and was more than willing to let the conversation run away without them. The jewelry was insanely pretty though, and Hyolyn made a mental note to find... Thalia was it, and buy from her. With that in mind, they gently and carefully began stepping back physically. Already, they could tell that very little attention was on them anymore, having only given short answers without much information. And with the Queen's attention focused on Thalia and her work both present and potential, beings swept into the ever moving river of the marketplace traffic was almost as easy as pilfering a bag of money from an unsuspecting old lady. Not that Hyolyn had, it was just a figure of speech, please don't arrest them

Slipping through the familiar traffic, Hyolyn kept their head down as they hurried back to the tavern. That grocery run had taken way way way too long and they were pretty sure that Owner would be at the least somewhat impatient. It wasn't quite running, more like walking briskly, but still Hyolyn had to stop to catch their breath for a moment before slipping into their place of work. The morning rush should have already died down somewhat, but still, they did a quick cursory check of the floor, just to see what what there was to do

With all the different conversations happening at once Sage doesn't really take notice to Hyolyn's sudden absence. "That's very exciting. I'm sure you and Leaf are happy that she may be following in your footsteps" she tells Sage excitedly. She turns to look at Thalia at the mention of seeing more jewelry. "I would love that!" Sage says eagerly. She was already in love with Thalia's work. It would be nice to show off. She would also be helping someone in the process.

*Tani rushed through town with tears in her eyes. She bumped into people, tripped over things, she even almost got run over by someones wagon, but she didnt care. All she wanted to do was go home. But she honestly didnt know what home was anymore. For years it had been Maddy but since Maddy had grown more distant, she was lost. She ran to Lukes home and pounded on the door. Through her tears she tried to speak. Her voice fluctuated as she spoke* L- Luke ple- please open the door

*As the day drew on, Maddy continued to lay in her bed. Her eyes were bloodshot and the area around her face was soaked. She turned from her side to her back and looked at the window. The blinds were slightly open from when Sage left in the morning, causing Maddy to lean over and grab a nearby broom. She struggled lifting it with her right and before eventually swatting the blinds closed with it. She didnt want to see the sun. Not today..*

Luke, who was sitting down at his table, heard the pounding at his door and got up, using his walking stick to not bump into anything on the way there. He opened the door knowing that it was Tani there, and even though he was blind, he heard that she was on the verge of crying and brought her inside and closed the door. He led her to his couch and sat down with her. Afterwards, he gave her a hug and said, “You can let it out Tani. It’s okay.” Even though she probably couldn't see his face right now, he put on a reassuring smile to let her know that he was there for her.

Barry decided that he was finished training with his knife and put it back in his boot. He only ever used it for fighting if something came up, but usually it was just practical use. But it was good to know how to use one if needed. He started walking through the marketplace, not really looking for anything specifically, but looking around nonetheless.

*Tani help Luke close to her as she tried to calm down. Through her tears, she spoke in staggered sentences as she almost panted to breath* Maddy- hasn't- asked- about- me- Luke. Its- been- weeks- and- she- hasnt- even- asked

Luke started rubbing circles on Tani’s back. “I’m sure she thought of you while she’s been resting. She lost a lot in the war with the Cloaks, so it’s. Normal to want to be alone. I’m sure once she’s ready she’ll want to see you so much that she’ll jump out of bed and come running to you.” he said to her. He wanted to say more things to reassure her everything will be fine, but he didn’t know what else to say. Maddy had been feeling really down lately, snd he didn’t know when she would be able to get better.

Barry was walking by Luke’s house when he heard the conversation, and after having stayed for a bit, he decided that maybe he should visit Maddy at Sage’s house. He wasn’t the best with words or encouraging people, but he could try. After all, Maddy was the reason that he was still alive today. He walked over to Sage’s house and knocked on the door to see if anyone — mainly Sage — would respond to let him in.

*Tani buried her head into Luke's shoulder and started shaking her head. She spoke with a slightly muffled voice through Lukes clothing* She hasnt even asked how I have been, Luke. Not even the faintest of whispers. I know she is going through alot but she could've at least spoken to me about it so I could've known what to do

Luke didn’t really know what to say to Tani. He wished he could help more, but with everything going on, everyone has been feeling down. He hugged her tighter. “I’m sorry I couldn’t help more. But things will get better. Just trust me.” he said to her, some tears falling from his eyes and falling on to Tani, since he didn’t have his blindfold on yet.

Barry sighed and knocked on Maddy’s door again. If nobody answered he was just going to open the door. If the door was locked well then he would just have to either shout to get in or go through one of the windows. He was determined to get to Maddy.

Distracted Soul
Frightened Soul
Take Your Chains
Succumb to the Hellfire

Derek had slowed down some as he watched Swif enter the tavern, a few unintelligible words coming from the soldier... He walked rather stiffly into the tavern, shedding his helmet once again. The back of his neck glistened with sweat, another potential flaw in his heavy armor; speed would be no strength of his.

"Hey es he-er. Swif sme-let her seb-len en the wend. Shey's sum-whar he-er."

Derek slowly turned his head, looking around the tavern with a brutal, intimidating eye.. Evidently he did not approve of his client's habits of drinking. Every client to the tavern had glanced towards the door, a few anxious whispers staggering around the wooded room. The presence of the General certainly made a few people straighten up, though a single head stayed lowered. This was the head that Derek seemed most interested in, his heavy footsteps rattling several glasses and bottles within the tavern. The head rose, revealing black hair and an exhausted-looking face.. Calling out in a broken half-language, the man spoke.. This was Derek's client, it seemed. Judging by the two identical foxes sitting around his chair, he was who they needed to see.

"Derrik, lesta vin alen... The ale is here to guard me..."

"Sey-lis, yew er a fo-oul. Th'aey-ale wu'nt gerd y'a frem en ess-ess-en.."

Sylas, the supposed client, waved this off and gestured at a seat next to him. He poured a beautiful amber liquid from the bottle next to his arm, his hands shockingly stable. He poured two glasses, actually, as if suggesting Derek or Gwen take a drink as well. Derek ignored the gesture to the seat, as well as the drink, instead sighing and standing by, like a dutiful guard would.. Sylas took the opportunity to speak once more, though, his language more of Gwen's than of Derek's.

"Y'a must be Gen'r'l Gwen, hey? Der las tecki v'divay.. Err.. S'a'pl's're t'a meet you in p'rson.. W'should move t'somewhere quiet soon, I dun'think the tavernkeep'r likes me v'ry much.."

Translations:

Derek
Sylas

"He is here. Swif smelled her sibling in the wind. She's somewhere here."
Sylas, you are a fool. The ale won't guard you from an assassin."

"Derek, leave me alone.. The ale is here to guard me."
You must be General Gwen, hey? It is pleasing to meet.. Err.. It's a pleasure to meet you in person.. We should move to somewhere quiet soon, I don't think the tavernkeeper likes me very much."

Gwen frowns slightly. She was a bit confused on how this supposed new-comer knew of her. Just like how he knew of Telmar. She shouldn't get too ahead of herself though. Almost everyone in Telmar, and even a few neighboring towns knew of her. It wouldn't be too surprising for someone to mention her name to Sylas. All good things I hope.

Like Derek, she refused both the drink and the offer to sit. "It's wonderful to meet you too" Gwen tells the man respectfully. She glances between Derek and the tavernkeeper, smiling internally at how easy it was to think of a good excuse to coax the drunken lad out of the tavern. How kind of Sylas to give them this excuse. "Yes, let's talk" Gwen says dismissively. She was curious of Sylas, but with him being drunk, she didn't expect to get any real answers. She extends an arm out, offering support for Sylas. She could already see him tripping over his own feet and falling. "Shall we return him to the inn? I think the both of you could use a break" Gwen asks Derek.

Thalia smiled excitedly, "Here!" she said pulling out a pair of fairly sized earrings, the back was made of gold and it was covered in a pattern of small diamonds. There was a butterfly charm on the left earring, the left wing was made of a yellowish prehnite stone, and the right wing was made of a pale green sapphire. She clutched them in her palm as she held the small pouch on her index and middle fingers by the strings on the rim of the bag. Thalia grabbed a pale rose gold necklace and a charm at the bottom made of the same thing, it was in the shape of a ring with three diamonds in a bigger to smaller pattern a little father from the center of the circle. She put the pouch and necklace onto her other fingers and showed Sage the earring hoping she would be pleased with them too.

*Tani shook her head in Luke's shoulders. The two continued to embrace eachother until Tani slowly let go of Luke. Her eyes were red and looked almost dry. Her nose had been leaking, causing her to wipe her nose with her sleeve* Thank you Luke

*Maddy heard a knock on the door, however, she didnt care. She just wanted to be left alone. She turned onto her right shoulder and pulled her blanket up to her neck*

Sage could see it already. She would look quite enchanting by wearing all of the jewelry that Thalia had shown her- not that it was something that mattered to her anyway. But the idea of wearing something that was crafted by Thalia- well, it warmed her heart. "I would love to buy all of them" Sage declares while digging around in her dress pocket for her pouch of cash. "Your attention to detail is something else, you have amazing talent" Sage praises Thalia. The earrings were most exciting to Sage- while she would have to get rid of her current ones she was excited for a new change.

She had long forgotten her responsibilities. It felt good to discuss something as simple as jewelry. She couldn't help but smile too, noticing that Thalia seemed much calmer now.

Luke continued to console Tani by rubbing circles on her back. He was glad he was able to help her let out her feelings. “Any time.” he said to her. He then asked her, “Is there anything else you need to talk about? I’m always here go listen if you do.” This was mainly true, as Luke couldn’t do many activities and was very limited by his blindness.

Barry sighed and, when nobody decided to open it for him or answer him, he went in and closed the door behind him. He walked until he had gotten to Maddy’s room. He looked at her pitiful state and said, “So you gonna get up?” He opened the blinds that Maddy has closed a few moments ago, letting all the light in, and shook her a bit to get her awake.

*Tani shook her head and looked at Luke, defeatedly. As she spoke, her voice was hoarse at first however after clearing her throat her voice returned to normal* N- No, not right now. *Tani stood up and looked down at Luke* I'm just think I want some alone time. *Tani slowly walked to her room. And grabbed the door to close behind her but before it was fully closed, she said one final thing.* Thank you Luke... for everything. I love you. *Tani saw Luke's face slightly brighten up as she closed the door behind her. Once the door was closed, she layed down on her bed and closed her eyes to rest.*



*Maddy grumbled as Barry tried to get her up and moving. She spoke through her gritted teeth and covered her face with the blanket to hide her eyes from the light* Not today Barry, I'm not in the mood

Luke’s face stayed happy. “I love you too Tani.” he said quietly, then got up off of the couch and started getting all ready for the day. He would let Tani rest while he went out to the market to go buy some foods and other things he may need around the house. From his service in both ward, he had a lot more money than he did before both wars, but it honestly wasn’t worth it. And although he could’ve sold his old glasses, he kept then as a keepsake as the first expensive thing he had ever received, and because they were from Gwen. After getting everything ready, he left a sloppy handwritten note for Tani telling her he was going out for when she woke up. He left the house and started walking with his stick to the market, humming a small tune.

Barry looked at Maddy, then pulled the blanket off of her. “Well if just so happens that you always appear to not be in the mood.” he said to her. He was determined to get Maddy out of bed, and if he wasn’t able to do it nicely, he would just keep bothering her until she decided to get up.

*Maddy kept her eyes closed and took deep, baited breathes. She tried her best to keep from snappong at Barry but it was becoming harder as he brought up her not wanting to leave her bed. She spoke in an irritated voice* Leave me alone dammit

“I don’t think I will.” he said to Maddy. He was getting quite annoyed with the way she was acting and always staying in bed. He thought she needed some outside time. “You know, Tani really misses you. She seemed in distress, and-“ He wasn’t able to finish his sentence before Maddy interrupted.

*At the mention of Tani's name, Maddy snapped. In a blind fit of rage, she grabbed her knife and threw it with her right hand in the general direction of Barry.* I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE! *The blade bounced off the wall and landed on the ground with a thud, causing its sheeth to come off. Maddy saw the horrified look on Barry's face as he slowly backed away from Maddy's bed. After a few seconds, Maddy's breath slowed and she grabbed her blanket to cover up her thinning legs before turning back onto her right shoulder*
