Cairn was slightly taken aback at Chloe's rush of words, but she had dealt with sorceresses in the grip of spell-shock before.<br/><br/>"Relax,"  She said soothingly, noting with approval how the woman guard got her back to a wall nearby.  the man was a bit exposed, getting food and drink for the others, she kept one eye on him.  "For the goals of the Order, you are far more important than I am,  I guard you, not the other way around!"  She flashed a quick grin as she scooted her chair to the table - but kept her back to the corner.<br/><br/>She settled her beer and stew before her and listened with interest, nodding slightly at the handoff of assignments.  "Both the gate and the harbor will be tricky.  But depending on where you want to go, I suggest the harbor.  We have a bit more immediate saftety on a ship.  Once we pay for passage, we'll get at least some support from the crew if anybody tries anything at dockside."<br/><br/>She watched her new responsibility carefully.  The woman seemed on her last legs.  "Ma'am, do you have a headache?  I have some crushed Willow bark.  That sometimes helps."<br/><br/>But she didn't ignore Sethi.  "Relax, don't look so hunted.  Well you, ah, we are hunted, but safe for the moment."  She threw an amused glance at the tavern crowd, most of whom were trying hard not to stare at the group.  "This isn't a place where rough stuff happens very often."<br/><br/>And she certainly noticed the undercurrent in the way Sethi was looking at her.  In less touchy cirmumstances they just might... she pushed the thought away.<br/><br/>"Eat, drink, relax a bit.  The city watch keeps an eye on this place, the doors are stout and have good latches and bolts."  She stretched like a cat and resumed eating.  "Assuming we're left alone tonight get your rest, tomorrow will be busy."<br/><br/><br/>
