The Guardsman eyes widen as Sethi puts on her performance and he darts glances down at her now exposed stomach. He licked his lips, “It is the potion room miss, not empty.” He seemed to consider, “I get off in a few hours if you want to”<br/><br/>He stumbled over his words, “You want to met up for a drink maybe?”<br/><br/><br/>//////////////<br/><br/>Amber smiled back at Cairn’s grin, ”Thank you for your understanding yes let us go to the armory.” She led the way through the temple and into the armory.<br/><br/>Like all armories there where racks and shelving, hangers for armour and weapons. What was noticeable was the amount of empty spaces where equipment was once stored. An older man was working on a mace replacing the handle. Seeing the two enter he put down the mace and came over.<br/><br/>Amber spoke as he approached, “Hello Karn, this is Cairn my new guardian.” She said the last with a hint of pride. Karn nodded and then gave Cairn a shrewd glance. “Guardian to Amber, you are incredibly brave or a fool. Most would say fool but you do not look like a fool.”<br/><br/>He received a look from Amber that would have frozen water but he continued. “How may I help you Guardian?”<br/><br/><br/>////////<br/><br/>As Chloe walked away from the library Serene caught her up, “Looking for more magic? I am sorry that we cannot help you more, I really am, but I am afraid as I have explained that the needs of out troops have stripped us near bare.”<br/><br/>She pointed with her hand, “Shall we walk this way.” She led Chloe into a courtyard and then over to a fountain that was sending out water that cascaded in waterfalls. It was quite noisy and that it seemed was Serene’s intent as she moved them nearer and thus harder to overhear.<br/><br/>“The item you gave me, I am minded to return it to you. As you may have noticed raw recruits or the nearing retirement guards and Clerics now guard the Temple. I do not know how safe it would be left here under these circumstances. Would you be agreeable to having it back?”<br/>
