Kiera looked around and spotted the elf looking at her and she blushed a bit. She had never really gotten much attention from others of any side. Kiera was interested in getting to know him, but decided to join in on the travels to do so and maybe make a few friends or enemies along the way. Kiera never knew what to expect from others as she commonly did her travels alone. It could be different working with others instead of against them. She noticed that the hooded male was finished conversing with the halfling and decided to make her way over. "I was overhearing a conversation and thought I might be interested in joining. Anyway I might be able to sign up?" Kiera looked at the halfling, Rinto, the others had called him and found a seat across from him.<br/><br/>"Interested are you? Well what kind of services can you offer? You don't exactly seem to be built for the task, no offense, but one of our race seldom take the fight to our enemies if you recall." Rinto seemed to look her over cautiously as if looking for a reason to deny her request.<br/><br/>"Well, I just so happen to be an assassin as well as information gatherer. And also judging people by looks may not be the best way to get a person, halfling or otherwise to join up, but you seem to be lucky in that respect, sir," she smiled sheepishly knowing what she had done.<br/><br/><br/>Rinto now looked at her cautiously. "Openly admitting yourself as an assassin is not a common trait, nor a wise one if you wish to stay among the living. You never know who will be listening. That aside I could have use of you, same terms as the others I expect?"<br/><br/>"I am known well for my skills, sir. And death does not frighten me, for the Raven Queen is my guide. I would expect so, if I am to be working with them. I would, however prefer looking over the terms as the others have," she said carefully eyeing the paper he carried with him.<br/><br/><br/>"Known well or not, I doubt you want the law to hear tell of you being in the town. Keep that mouth shut if you wish to remain in my employment as I do not wish to have that law come down on me as well." He handed the contract over somewhat agitatedly, as well as the coin required for the partnership, waiting for her to sign.<br/><br/>She looked over the parchment cautiously, reading for details and unknowns. "I will agree, but what I am or who I am is of little concern to those around us. Knowing my name, however, might change that point." Kiera looked over the parchment still eyeing for anything that could be useful. "Will I be getting the money upfront?" she asked skillfully signing the paper under her common alias "Kieta Lockwood".<br/><br/>He handed the money to her curtly and looked her in the eyes while holding onto the pouch still. "Know this," he looked to the parchment for her name, "Kieta... should you muck this up or should your real identity become known, you will have no protection from me. I don't care how skilled you are, I have never heard of you, but if you are as famous as you say I'm sure you have a bounty the guards would love to cash in on. Play by my rules or they'll get a bonus this month, are we clear?"<br/><br/>"Yes, sir," she said as she mimed locking her lips. "Loud and clear."<br/><br/>The halfling man nodded curtly and walked off, addressing everyone one last time. "Thank you for your company everyone. The caravan will be waiting for those who joined up at the north entrance of town in the morning," and with that he walked off.<br/><br/>Kiera walked back over to her meal and quickly finished and glanced around waiting for the others to make their moves. Deciding to take off her hood, Kiera fixed her hair to an almost neat low ponytail with a band of cloth from her previous clothing supply. She hoped it would at least make her look more presentable. Eventually though, Kiera put her hood back on and began heading towards the north gates as the male had said to do pacing herself. She backtracked herself to the bar and went upstairs to the inn and found the innkeeper asking if they had a room to spare. He mentioned the second door to the left and handed her the keys. She went inside and found a decent sized room with a wide bed of hay and sheets. That would keep her warm most of the night. She figured she might as well make the best of it, and found a book she had been writing in and decided to start making notes about her future travels.
