Sil remained silent as the guardboy excused the behavior of his kin. It wasn't his fault, presumably, maybe it was his wife, in which case... he could do better... Sil admired the boys handsome features for a moment before blushing and returning to staring at the ground.<br/><br/>As they made their way to the mayors house she turned to the guardboy and bowed slightly as a thanks.<br/>"thank you for escorting me, I believe that I shall be fine from here on out".<br/><br/>Sil didn't wait for a response from the young man, instead opting to enter the house, it was lavish, far moreso than any other house in the small comunity... needlesly so in fact, clearly the mayor was well of compared to the other townsfolk, and liked to rub it in their faces.<br/><br/>Sil sighed as she entered the house, this didn't bode well.<br/><br/><div><hr style="height:2px; width:100%; border:0; color: white;background:white;"/></div><br/>Sil entered the mayoral building, only one person was in there, Sil could tell that this man was the mayor. He wore an elaborate gown in a royal blue colour, he was dressed in jewlery which would look fine to the common man, but it had no soul or frequency taht Sil could see, cheap stone from a dead place like this one...<br/>The mayors presense hit her like a wall of stench as she entered, an egocentric spirit lit up the entire room, the mayor was clealy ruled by his misguided pride and everything that didn't go his way was twisted to be someone elses fault. This was a sickening man to be sure.<br/>Turnng her eyes to the more corporeal she was surprised to see that the mayor was actually a fairly young, very handsome man, slick black hair and a regal bearing made him look almost royal, but his nose and face suggested a commoners breed, and his soul bore the mark of someone truly average, but someone who fought his way up, someone with black marks on his soul which could never be washed away... the marks of a dangerious man.<br/><br/>The mayor was in the middle of doing something as Sil barged in, she'd forgotten that it was proper etiquette to knock, she realised this as she entered, she cursed herself for having been in too much of a hurry.<br/>The mayor, looking to be around 28, looked mad as he saw her approach, he was about to give whoever enetered an earfull before he laid eyes upon her. A simple "oh.." was all he managed to say to the fairylike creature who entered his domain.<br/>The two shared an awkward moment, looking at each other. Sil afraid to break further etiquette, expecting the man to continue and the man dumbstruck by the strange creature.<br/><br/>Finally Sil spoke up at last, just as the mayor started mumbling, he shut up to let her speak though.<br/>"yes um... I am Sil, I was hired as a courier, I have your package".<br/>Sil wished she could be more specific, but she did not know what she was carrying, and she was made aware by the man who hired her that she was not meant to.<br/>The mayor blinked a few times before realising the situation "oh.. OH! oh yes! yes come in." he looked at her expectandly, screening for the package his expression went from excited to worried.<br/>Sil, realising why he was distraught, placed the tip of her walking stick, inlain with a square gemstone, against the palm of her left hand. A small light shone from her hand and the crystal as she spoke a word that echoed through the house, a word which noone would be able to repeat perfectly without the proper training, and a square package, about three by three feet appeared in her left hand.<br/>Sil was about to hand the package to the man but almost toppled over as the spell seized and the weight of the package hit her, quite weak, hand. She stumbled forward, loosing grip of the package as it went towards the floor.<br/><br/>She felt hands around her, she was caught by the mayor, holding one hand to support her and one to catch the package. The mayor and her were frozen in an awkward situation, him holding around her thin frame with one of his arms, both of them breathing heavily as a result of the surprise and fear of almost loosing the package. The two of them locked eyes and both blushed heavily, comming apart and straightening themselves out.<br/>The mayor cleared his throat "well yes... yes... well..." he went to his desk to pick up a small sack.<br/>"the payment, plus a little extra... for you..." Sil would have protested under normal circumstances but the incredible embarasment she was feeling, as well as a slew of other emotions was enough that she simply nodded meagerly "thank you.." she whispered as she turned on her heel to exit, then turned again, went to the mayors desk and placed the package in front of him before leaving the building, face flushed in a light blue hue.<br/>As she came out she saw that the guard was still there, had he been spying on them!?<br/>Sil looked the boy in the eyes for a few silent moments, face frozen in embarassment. As he found his voice to greet her she pushed past him and started walking very quickly through the town, she was done there, she would leave, she would leave and never ever come back, yes... forever, definetly, stupid little town with stupid pretty boys everywhere..!
