The jump from the balcony took a bit of courage, but he landed without a problem, the trip being a small shock on his legs but nothing that his acrobatics and the boots on his feet couldn't help ward off. Trying it regularily or barefooted might just end up poorly but at that particular moment, his landing was one lending further authority to his voice, making his appearance with the show of strength. It was enough to catch both Kayna's and the guard's attention, the landing already drawing their eyes his voice cementing their focus on him for the moment.<br/><br/>The guardswoman had the decency to look chastised and embarrassed for her part, nodding slightly and moving to open the gate before hearing his words about needing the half-orc to give her that apology, an idea that seemed to sit somewhat poorly with Kayna for a moment before she nodded her head.<strong>"I apologise, you were simply doing your duty and I wasn't making it any easier than it already is. My only real excuse is that I was instructed to only hand this over to the Master of this place himself."</strong>She held up the letter but nod to the guard, who seemed to be satisfied with it, opening the gate for the half-orc woman.<br/><br/><strong>"Been a while, Master Tehr."</strong>There was a smile playing on Kayna's lips at the time, as she moved forth, presenting the letter in a serious fashion while looking him over appraisingly once more.<strong>"Lady Wynt sent me to deliver you this after the completion of the bandit eradication task I participated in on your family lands earlier. I am happy to say that those who aren't already captured and in jail, have ran off to find some safer opportunities elsewhere. They had not managed to set up an actual hideout on your family lands but had one close enough that it was a threat, but since said camp is now little more than a clearing soaked in blood and ashes the place should see safer travels and more peace and prosperity by any chance."</strong>She seemed pleased with herself at this bit of news, holding out the letter in a calm manner.<br/><br/><strong>"Master Wynt?"</strong>The guardswoman spoke seriously at the gate, glancing back his way.<strong>"If its not too much to ask would it be possible to acquire a list of other names who's holders are allowed to enter to avoid such accidents in the future? I believe I and the rest of the shift know most but it is never certain, and while Miss Angelique is usually a good source of answers she has been busy for a little while now."</strong>Lahna gazed between Kayna and Tehr seriously while staying near the gates, having closed them again after letting the half-orc woman pass, but not having locked them just yet, seemingly to be waiting to see if she'd be staying or not.<br/><br/><strong>"Hmm, on another note, I am not sure if there's room available at the stables for a night? I'm used to rather simple comforts but a pile of hay would be welcome after the walk, I don't need a bed since I got my own routine to take care of in the early mornings and all but still. I don't suppose you have a need for a warrior here in the city for more than guarding the gate though, eh? I figure that'd not be the kind of work I would be comfortable doing at length yet, still having much to learn and practice to accomplish but I would always appreciate good opportunities being presented to myself, I am more determined than ever to surpass my limits after that recent bout of bandit breaking and banishing."</strong>She grinned a bit wider, the sharpness of her teeth momentarily made quite apparent in that grin. For a monk, she was definitely not peaceful nor meditative sort.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Acrobatics: No damage from the fall, if there was any it would have been subdual and healed up very shortly anyhow.<br/>Diplomacy: Tehr has calmed the situation, but it appears that neither is the guardswoman entirely relaxed nor is Kayna used to apologising.<br/><br/>I debated whether to include the letter's contents or not, but after our talk I figured I'd let it be till Tehr had a chance to open and read and you know what we discussed it might entail so we can do it at our leisure at any point, either there in open view of the two or later in the house in private. I heartily approve of the birthday idea combined with a visit though, as a base, but I'm willing to add more or other things if you think they'd serve the plot well. </div></div>
