((It looks like it'll just be you and I for awhile lol
I don't want the RP to die again, so even if we're the only two RPing, I'm willing to keep it up until, hopefully, others find interest enough to join and/or return.))
Raven's mouth set into a firmer line in response to the mercenary's grin, but she said nothing. Instead she was feigning indifference, while on the inside she really was curious as to what this mission could possibly be, what it was they were looking for or doing. Any normal person probably would of declined such an offer upfront, even Raven was a little suspicious and wary of the danger that could be laying in wait for them, or toward the ones who hired Noah to do this in the first place. Yet Raven's curiosity, like always, won out. How could she pass up the chance to learn more about something she didn't know, and the reward didn't sound half bad, either. However, there was the half-elf to attend to...
The mage turned away from Noah (possibly in a way that looked like she was just ignoring him) to look where the stranger had been standing not a moments ago. Yep, he was gone... Damn it. Brows lowering just a centimeter to show her annoyance, she looked back at the thief in a mild glare as if to blame him for this happening, which she did. If he hadn't come out of nowhere and distracted her with his offer, she would of sensed that the half-elf had slipped away. But no, her attention had been on Noah... There was always that strange aura about him, something that lingered on him that was just so out of place, but she couldn't place her finger on it. It made her anxious, edgy... Just another reason why she didn't want to be around him, but now she knew she was just going to have to tolerate it and him. Anyway, it was because of this that her mind had been too occupied and focused on the mercenary thief, that she didn't even notice a change in her third-eye vision.
Raven supposed it was for the best. She still had the paper with the odd list of names, and holding this in hand, she turned instead to the princess. "Here you are, Lady Carina," Raven walked away from Noah to stand before her. She wasn't sure if she had been eavesdropping on them or not, but she concluded that she was, otherwise she would of been aware of the half-elf's departure and said something. Unless she let him go. "I apologize for the disturbance. This paper may be of more use to you than it is to me, it's a vital piece of evidence if you wish to apprehend the half-elf. After all, he admitted his crimes. I'm afraid I won't be aiding you in searching for him (which is advisable) if that's what you want to do, or return home to inform the King of the past events and reassure him you're alright, but I have other matters to attend to."
Finally, Raven turned back to Noah and addressed his suggestions. "Very well, that sounds like an appropriate time to depart. I'll see you around the hour of dawn outside the inn entrance, near the stables. I'm sorry to say I don't own a horse, but it's a much easier landmark to find one another at." Not that the mage preferred riding very much... Sure, it was faster but she wasn't comfortable enough to do that. Walking was going to have to do, and though outwardly she was as placid as ever, inwardly she was a little worried her condition may show. Her stamina wasn't all that great, and the last thing she wanted was having Noah pointing out her weakness and pointing it out in some way. No matter, she was just going to have to deal with it.
With nothing more to be said or done, the mage began making the return trip back to Zale.
((That one's going to be my last one for this phase, you can do a time skip in your post for the next day if you like :3 ))
