(That last post is so painfully long.) "We have another choice." Raythor said mildly. Markus glared at him. "Drop it, won't you? He said all of us."

"And believe me, I know how psycopaths work." Ryan said, stepping out of the shadows. "And I want to know why this one wants you dead."

"I'll bet you do." Rose said hostilely. Laura opened her mouth but Rose crossed her arms and closed hers. "She's my sister." Raythor said, before anyone could stop him. "And we just aren't that close. You know siblings." "Try not to bleed sarcasm." Rose said under her breath. "Well than maybe you can help us figure out what she's going to do next." Markus said, doing his best to calm the situation. "Because, even though she's a Karian, Kenetari doesn't act much like her brother. And we can never predict her movements."

"Divide and conquer. She'll separate the weakest of your group and pick them off one by one. We should leave this inn and preferably this forest." He paused for a moment, "I have a question before we do, though. Does Kenetari have any connection to Sabbath Whitestar?"

(Taking full advantage of this thread's particularly nebulous time frame...) "Ok." Markus said, taking note of that. "Sabbath... is my uncle..." Raythor said slowly. He seemed more reluctant to admit that than he had been to tell the assassin that Kenetari was his sister. "So yeah. There's a connection. How do you know him?"

Ryan looked in Markus's direction. "I told you that I've worked for your father. Apparently Sabbath worked quite hard to get his castle's location removed from royal maps in countries he planned to invade. I discovered it's location and led your father to it. I asked because that soldier had several items with the Whitestar emblem, and I know Sabbath had a daughter."

"Whitestar?" Rose's ears perked. "My... cousin Jason is a Whitestar." Raythor said quietly. "You... you really do know my father..." Markus said, swallowing. "I... I didn't believe..." "He didn't have anyone killed." Laura reminded. "Wait, stop everything. Serious meaningful conversation is great and all but... what the hell? Raythor is related to Whitestars?" Rose said. "So?" The dark haired boy shrugged. "Won't matter when my sister kills me violently." "They're one of the higher regarded families in the cultural wasteland that is Laina. And you are one of them. A God damn male heir and... look at you! You dress like a rat-" "Rose, this is not the time for this." Markus interrupted. "I guess Kenetari is done being secretive..."

"She's also done being intelligent if she thinks it's wise to make an enemy of me." A new degree of coldness entered his voice. "I'll make sure she knows what it is to be hunted." Ryan crossed him arms and glanced around. "I don't suppose you're aware there's two people missing?"

"What are you talking about?" Markus said with confusion. He looked around him and nothing seemed to register. Raythor stared straight ahead as if unwilling to check. "Two of us?" Rose said, hands on her hips. She raised her eyebrow skeptically. (This will be awesome like when I was gone on Kylara's Clearing for like two days and I got back and all of my characters had gotten the crap beaten out of them.)

"The queen of Carina and the blond girl. I was under the impression that you were aware of their existence."

"What?" Markus said, really looking now. "Anella? Anella? She was just here... Anella?" "Rea." Rose said somewhat sarcastically. "Hey, if we lose her it will be political hell." Raythor said, having to work harder to keep his face blank. "How the hell didn't we see that? She was just here." Markus said, fighting down panic. "We'll find them. We will." Laura said, trying to be calm amidst the slowly growing chaos. "Did you see them disappear?" Markus asked, looking back at Ryan. Rose had taken a firm hold of his arm to keep herself from disappearing. She held her hand out to Raythor. He shook his head. Rose grabbed Laura instead.

"No, I didn't. The girl probably left to look for the Queen. Splitting into two groups to search for them should be safe enough." He pointed to Rose, Raythor, and Ketra. "You three come with me." He turned towards the entrance, paused, and turned back. "For future reference my name is Ryan. I don't want you yelling at each other about 'that assassin guy'."

(Is he planning to take Rose for bait? Because that's what I'd use her for.) "Ryan." Ketra nodded, noting it. Rose dropped hold of Markus tentatively and grabbed on to Ketra. Raythor trailed behind them uncaringly. "Markus, don't get caught. Or else." "Yes Ketra." Markus said, rolling his eyes. He looked at his group. "Ok Saria, Laura, stay together. You keep an eye on me, Saria. I'll watch Laura and she can watch you." "Let's not do that." Raythor said dryly, happy to be out of earshot of Markus's little monologue.

"Yay." Raythor said, sighing. Rose elbowed him. "Don't be a pain and use that large brain you have under all those layers of stupid." She needled. "Well, Ryan, where are we looking first?" Ketra asked, eying the assassin coldly. She glanced back at her brother, making sure he was still there.
