The Camp
A man, hands stuffed in his pockets leisurely headed out through the Hydlaa East gate treading an infrequently used path off to a likely well known camp. The Dermorian had collected a pouch of food from Jomed before leaving and had just about finished it as he arrived. Picking some slithers of meat out of his teeth as he wandered into the unusually quite camp he looked over at a Nolthrir and Enkidukai who were arguing about something, both sat at the collection of small tables.
By the time he had reached the tables and taken a seat the Nolthrir was already on her way off. This was apparently due to the Enkidukai saying "Ah you are not whining and complaining Snitch? You have much to learn." As he sat down the Enkidukai decided to keep her cards close to her chest as her face stayed blank as if she didn’t know him. But she did.
Snitch laughed. "She thinks she has much to teach me. You're what, twenty? Maybe? Please. I've been knocking about this gig for far longer. I'm afraid between your apathy and that one's," She jerked a thumb at the Dermorian, "I'm quite spent. Farewell, darlings." She turns, and makes to wander off.
The Dermorian had no time for whatever was going on so he announced his business immediately. Leaning against the table he said towards Snitch "Have you been to see the fool who got himself locked up?" This took her somewhat by surprise. Pausing, she turned to look back at him, mildly interested, at least, in the words he just spoke.
He continued "I'll take your pause as a yes, no doubt he has been asking everyone he knows to help, you included." Snitch sighed, making a flippant wave in the air with her hand. "I haven't been to see him. If I could muzzle and leash him effectively I might be arsed to try and free him, though I honestly haven't yet decided. I don't have much use for the mentally handicapped." The Enkidukai snickered as she looked down, deciding to finally listen before participating.
The Dermorian replied “Harsh words, but not entirely off the mark. But if you did think about it, you would own him. Your little gang would have its very own 'give it to' guy for stuff you don’t care for doing yourself.” Snitch seemed almost uninterested as he made another waving motion. "Like I said, I could use a rabid animal, if I knew for a certainty I could keep it contained. Rigwyn is now blind and harmless and utterly at the mercy of others. He might be worth saving. I just have to decide if I'm willing to go to the trouble."
He sat up and ran a hand though his hair, picking out what seems to be a bit of tree which much have fallen in on his walk over. "He has mentioned some skill with magic. Eyes aren’t entirely necessary for that. He works out some way to get about without others helping him, and maybe gets taught some common sense. Well.... who knows"
Snitch shrugs lightly. "The possibilities are quite expansive yes, I agree. I simply don't want him running around drawing massive amounts of attention to us with zero profit. This is a business, not a den of the criminally insane. Some amount of order can be necessary, even amongst chaos."
He dusted his hands off, the pieces falling to the ground "Tell him, or get someone to tell him. You could consider it a probation. You don't like having him about, you steal his cane and dump his ass at the city gate or in the howling well." Snitched chuckled. "Oh, it's not a matter of that. It's a matter of whether facing the city guard to get him out is worth the cost of the risk itself. I'm still weighing those options. I am always looking to come up in the profit margin." With that said she wandered back and sat crossing her legs on the grass. Clearly more interested with what he had to say than the Enkidukai. "We shall see what I can come up with."
He looked off towards Guile's tent "Maybe ask your land lord for help. Some real masks would surly help hide such a pretty little face." He began drumming his fingers on the table, looking between the two women. The Enkidukai looked over at him, trying to figure out his motives as she just continues to remain silent. "My comment was not about /your/ mask. And more about the masks only someone like Guile could help you get. I understand they are quite adept at hiding everything about you. As I'm sure you probably know."
The Enkidukai’s curiosity was peeked. As Snitch looked towards him the Nolthrir said "I know. I've used one of Guile's masks before. I've considered employing them for my part of the scam, if not for all of my members, to ensure they have some backup against the guard spotting them." The Dermorian began to rub the palm of his left hand. "I'm sure that would be a good idea, and one quite easily obtained. One full pocket, one favour. Normally how things go."
Snitch rolled her shoulders, listening to the faint grating sounds this makes. "Careful, Dollface. It sounds rather dangerously like you want him freed, which is equally dangerously close to caring." He glanced at the Enkidukai briefly, smiling as he does. Looking back at Eleese he said "Caring is something you should avoid. But I have no doubt each of us has their own reason for being here."
Snitch then laid herself back in the grass, cradling her head in her gloved hands and peering up at the Dome. She murmurs something to herself in nolthrea, likely to be utterly lost on the other two, and then hums a slightly eerie, disjunct tune.
For the next short while the conversation turned to small talk, covering how each of them how each of them had met Rigwyn.
Snitch answered with "Mmm. I met him here, in fact. He seemed quite level headed at the time, but I must admit the more I hear about him the more I think he has...some sort of problem. I have actually been considering trying to enlist an azure magic practitioner to see if he could not be helped."
The Enkidukai "....I’ve, worked with him. We were close once."
And finally Dollface "You know how you normally meet thugs. Outs Laws get an order and off they go."
There was far more to tell than this, but the other two present seemed either to just accept it or uninterested in asking anything further at the time.
Another short conversation followed. Non present were really too interested in the content. All just trying to work out what the other wanted with Rigwyn. Whatever the reason the Enkidukai was at the camp for it quickly became apparent getting Rigwyn out wasn’t part of it when she said "I didn't come here to become a part of something, sorry."
Snitch hardly seemed bothered as she replied "I'm not concerned. I already have a plan to free him. All I'm working on is the motivation." And with that said, she nodded to the two, one at a time. "I should prepare to meet with him," she said, "Lovely conversing with you two." She then left.
It wasn’t long after this when the Enkidukai also left back into city. Leaving just the Dermorian and the rogues. He was sat there for a few hours until the crystal faded and night came. As he waited, sitting patiently until Guile returned he thought on exactly what Snitch would do to get Rigwyn out, a few ideas came to him but he couldn't be sure any were right. A few few figure had come and gone from the camp but none were who he wanted. He knew she would arrive sooner or later and he needed something from her...
