*looks around and sees everyone is a sleep* well crap *heads for the door, takes another look back smiles then walks out the door* goodnight

*thinks see knows where sees goin* keeps feeling but the pain still is brewing

*Alatariel and Finwe enter the inn*

*They sit at a table and Alatariel talks to the babe*

Hmmm Finwe I love you so much. And I miss your daddy. You look so much like him.

*Finwe looks at Alatariel and coos and gurgles*

Hmmm little Finwe let's go for our walk now.

*leaves the inn*

Calliope wakes up and rolls out of bed...She slept well for the first time in days..She scoops up Pan and takes him down to the tavern...It is very quiet, but the place is a mess..She takes Pan in the Kitchen so she can check his tail...Removes the cloth that she tied around it and replaces it.

She ties a think leather strap around his neck and attaches it to the table leg. "There Pan, while Im making the meal, you cant get into any trouble"...She puts some pieces of fish on the floor for hime to eat.

*Rathil enters the inn and takes a seat behind the bar. He closes his eyes and lets himself lose himself in thought.*

*The door opens slowly and Kalika walks into the bar with her cat curled up around her shoulders asleep. She looks around her gold eyes settling on Rathil*

*Rathil is sitting behind the bar leaning back in his chair. He has his hat pulled down over his eyes and doesn't say anything as she enters. From knowing him for awhile she knows that this is how he gets when something is bothering him.*

*She walks over to him and speaks in a deep but seductive tone* Master Rathil I take it you got the letter. *The kitten leaps onto the bar and rubs up against him*

*He doesn't move or look up.*

Yes, I got it. Did she send it directly through you?

*She moves and levitates her self to sit on top of the bar* She did. The City is on lock down. No one in, no one out. I could lift it for her fleet or bring just her into the city.

*Rathil smirks a bit*

I would imagine the Marshall will not be too happy to hear about that. Regardless of who it is or how many.

*He sighs a bit*

Do you know how far out she is

Shes a days sail out. Maybe less.

Very well then, you can arrange for the lockdown to be lifted to allow her and her ship into the city. Just her ship though. If she has anymore under her command now they must wait outside. If the marshall gives you any trouble inform him it is under my orders and he can take it up with me if he has a problem.

*Bows slightly* Very well Master rathil. I Will allow her ship to enter port. her ship can stay for a week. Its upto you two to decide if she's on the ship or not when it leaves.

Thank you Kalika

*gets off the bar and the kitten turns into a raven flying onto her shoulders* a pleasure master rathil. If you have any questions i will be at my shop. *Places a hand on his shoulder* take care old friend. *heads out the door*

*For the first time in nearly 250 cyclones Rathil lets a tear fall from his one good eye. He quickly wipes it away and looks around to make sure no one else saw. He leans back in his chair again and closes his eye.*

*Phara walks into to the inn after long days work* Calliope good day, may I have an elvin wine please? *Phara takes a seat near the fireplace and sips her wine. Phara notices Rathil and decides not to bother him, the last few days have been tough on him.*

*Rathil wakes up to serve Phara, Phara thanks him*
