Danico continued to nod along to her statement about the house being untouched. That would certainly be a great boon to the investigation- especially since it was only found within the day. With a little luck, what or whoever had trashed the house only did so within the week just gone, making the evidence as fresh as possible. Of course, there is always the possibility the trail has gone cold by now, the culprit disappearing into the hills, never to be seen again. He was more optimistic then that, however. People don't just disappear without reason. There should be a trail, a note, plans to travel, a ransom note, anything. Hopefully, it was still there. And hopefully, those neighbours saw it.

Danico chuckled lightly at her remark of their hatred. "Some people just want everything with no will to chase it. Sad, really." He flicks the quill back and forth between index and middle fingers. "Though rest assured, once I've looked through the house they'll be my first suspects." His words were both sincere and reassuring. It did no one any good if the girl's mind strayed into the clouds with grief and worry, so keeping her hope in him was key. 

*"Shhhhhhhhh!"* Danico hushes the girl as she raised her voice at the guests to the tavern. Though he had to hold back a laugh at the motion, the atmosphere in the tavern surely invited the unsavoury kind. "It'll do us no good to get you ran through for disrespect. However entertaining it may be." His words spoke low as the tavern-goers glared in their direction before going back to whatever it was they were prior. "Though I'm happy to do this for you. After all, you'll get me that bird, yes?"

She felt her worries settle when Danico assured her he would question the couple. Even though it would be a struggle to not think of her parents while completing the task given to her, Marsila was relieved to know this man would be investigating their disappearance. She glanced towards the few in the tavern as many left before the sky grew completely dark. Some of the customers were either too intoxicated to have heard her while others glared in annoyance. Turning back to face Danico, she sheepishly towards him apologetically. "I apologise. Sometimes my anger gets the best of me."

Straightening herself, Marsila gave Danico a short nod when he mentioned the Owl-griffin. "You have my word about the *Bird*. I will start on it immediately and leave for Terrasol when the sun rises." She would need her rest before she left Taemar, though Marsila doubted she would get a proper night's sleep with the thought of her parents playing on her mind. "When I have the bird, You will find me at the home of my parents. It may take a while for me to successfully find and capture this creature so I will aim to be back within a month. Does this suit you?"

The alchemist let out a soft chuckle at her admittance of emotional instability. "Careful with that emotion." He mentions, prodding with curiosity about the pendant around her neck. "Don't lose your tongue." He raises a brow at the other as he packs the the writing tools away, satisfied with the information he has. "One last thing, before I must head back to the castle." He motions as he picks the bag back up off the ground, letting the strap rest atop his shoulder. "If, in the case I'm unable to find your parents, what are you going to do?" He casually leans against the table so it would be easy enough to stand once again. "Not with me or the target I want, but yourself? You see, It'll do me no good to have the the finger of blame pointed at myself for whatever retaliation you may commit from a lack of resolution. Not that I expect that outcome, of course." He studies the girl for a reaction once again, curious about her response. 

Taking a stand, the alchemist prepares to make his leave, he nods at the girls proposition of a months time. "Hopefully, a month shall be enough to do all the research I need. If this other man does indeed live further south than I may need some more time. Hopefully, however, it shan't come to that." Walking up to Marsila, he places a hand on her shoulder. "Good luck on the hunt, Marsila, You'll need it." With a final nod, he makes his leave from the tavern, back towards the castle.

"I would have to continue my search." She replied while he stood after having packed away his writing instruments. She hoped Danico would find a trail leading to her parents, knowing she would end up living with the guilt on her shoulders if he was unable to succeed in the task she had given him. "However, I am a person who keeps to their word. If you search for my parents and find yourself unable to locate them, I will still hand over the creature so you don't have to worry in regards to that. And I will not point any blame towards you, only myself." *For leaving them behind.* Inhaling deeply, Marsila stood from her seat as Danico confirmed the timeline for when they were to meet again, readying herself to leave also. "Please keep yourself safe, I shall hopefully see you in a month's time." 

Once Danico departed from the tavern, Marsila began making her way towards the entrance. As she reached the tavern doors, the shifter turned to face everyone in the tavern and raised her hands with her middle fingers pointed upwards. "I hope you lot get food poisoning or an invitation to King Gregors living quarters so he can bed you. Because that's what all you fuckers deserved." 

After she finished shouting profanity towards the customers, Marsila ran out the doors and made her way towards Romia who had been waiting patiently all those hours by his post. Removing the reins from the wooden beam she had tied him to, Marsila reached towards his saddle and lifted herself up until she was laying on her stomach against the stallions back. She wasted no time as she adjusted herself properly on the saddle before ordering Romia into a canter by digging her heels into his sides.
