xPetraFWx She was sat at the moment outside the outer margins of the market.. Chubby was at the opposite side His eyes scanning the crowds, Only Her eyes could be seen and the veil was wrapped tightly around Her face. The veils hid a multitude of sins but more to the point went a great deal to conceal Her identity. Her papers gave Her the name of Thyri of Cos and as She waited for Her contact.. She became uneasy. It was uncanny, each tme either Her family or Home were threatened She felt it.
xPetraFWx She pulled at the hem of Her veil and took a sip of the thentis brew, it was as nasty as ever but it served to keep her alert and focussed. She watched for the Man. She had seen Him on several occasions when they had undertaken recon of His home. This was to Her advantage because He had never seen Her.
xPetraFWx The contact was late, He was an unscrupulous gem dealer from Schendi, She had been commisioned to retrieve a sapphire he had stolen and at the moment She was about to play him. The idea had come from Judas.. a shell game.. but the game she would be playing would be subtle .. a swap and shift, slight distraction aka Chubby and mission accomplished
xPetraFWx As She waited She looked across to Chubby and She could see by his face that he was concerned. She followed his gaze and could see why. The tarnkeeper from Asperiche was making his way towards Chubby, his hands waving bringing a lot of attention to hinself and now towards Chubby too
PetraFWx The Sapphire was lost at this point, She had lost focus which is what she needed in subterfuge, She was at the top of her game as far as that was concerned, but at this moment She was more concerned about what the tarn keeper had to say. She left the footed bowl on the small table pushing the hem of Her veils back under Her chin and stepped towards Chubby following Him towards the tarn keeper, She could almost taste Her anger at the “change” of plan.
xPetraFWx Growling She moved past Chubby, leaning down pulling the quiva from Her boot in the event of imminent danger and slipped it into Her robe pocket , her hand clasping the hilt. Chubby grasped Her tightly and whispered in her ear " Petra we must return to Asperiche, Thiery has left....for a reason, you have it there, the keeper was sent to find us, read it quickly " She read it and closed her eyes for a ihn.. Thiery was Her brother in every way but blood, the revelation in the scroll made Her growl and then exhale holding Her forehead to Chubbys chest saddened at what She had read, knowing the peace on Asperiche was about to be shattered…the island may never be the same again...
xPetraFWx " You are right, this here can wait, Chubby we need to return to Our Home, Can we get word to Judas?, He needs to know.. This is serious, perhaps the tarnkeeeper can find him here?" He nodded and She followed Him through the crowds. He grasped the arm of the Man and at the edge of the market He pushes Him away.. " Do not leave until you have found Judas is that understood" The Man nodded, quite pallen, turned from them to seek out Judas
PetraFWx She made Her way to the Merchant ship She had sailed to the Port on. The Captain looked at Her curiously and opened His mouth to say something, She shut Him down with " I am back by myself. Take me back to Asperiche and harta! He looked at Her in disdain, She sighed not wishing for confrontation and He nodded in the same thought.
xPetraFWx She stood on the deck as the Ship left the port looking for any sight of Judas, How She missed Him tremendously, His love wrapped around Her and let Her forget Her demons, whether he could do it this time was debatable. She sensed that the peace of Asperiche was about to be broken and perhaps the island would not survive this.
xPetraFWx As the Port of Gor became a dot on the landscape She moved across deck to Her cabin, followed by Chubby, closely, He knew the feelings of the crewmen on having a FreeWoman on board. Her mind was racing and She knew She would have difficulty sleeping, She hoped Bianciella would wait for her to return before She did anything.
