At Atisha's request, Avis nodded and turned her attention to the warehouse door, sword ready in her hand- although she paused to grin in answer to Magnus's thanks. She eyed Anora as she did- although her ears hadn't been sharp enough to pick up on her muttered words to her friend and Magnus, she didn't doubt that she was up to no good. This thought reminded her of Anora's friend. She glanced over at Anora's friend. "So," she said. "What's your name?" She smiled crookedly. "And what brings you here?"<span style="font-style: italic">And more importantly, why should I trust you?</span><br/><br/>Larteis thoughts ran a much less suspicious trend. He retrieved the book from Magnus after muttering an apology and found a crate that was slightly less dusty than the others. Squinting in the dimming light, he flipped open the book and ran a finger down the pages. The script was printed, which was a small mercy- some more formal Ardonian scripts were utterly mystifying. There were a few names mentioned in passing, but there was no real way to determine if they were aliases or not. He flipped to the last page that was written in.<br/><span style="font-style: italic"><br/>'Elias orders us towards Marveila, located in Weibou. After we finish this job in Goldenburgh we will meet with our brethren there. I am eager to leave this wretched town- I truly do not understand the significance of this task, in any case. Though of course I would never dare question our glorious leader, it seems only to be a simple family of blacksmiths. Nevertheless, we strike today.'</span><br/><br/>He blinked. "It says they were ordered to head towards Marveila." If he remembered his geography lessons correctly, that was some leagues away, in the south- a booming trading point that was a popular spot for tourists. It might have been the capital- or was that Vophia? He scratched his head, trying to remember. Although, he supposed it didn't matter much at this point. "It also says that others are already there, I think." He flipped through the pages, trying to glean more information, but nothing else was immediately useful. Who was Elias, he wondered.
