<strong>Ivette</strong><br/><br/>The man lowered his head and evidently chuckled, "And to think, I was about to call this whole thing off and send in one of the black coats..."<br/><br/>Black coats. Aeune's government wizards. Most of them just kept the city afloat, often quite literally... but the higher echelons were formidable spellcasters in their own right.<br/><br/>"Very well." He said, walking over to a table and picking up a shadowy glass, "Continue on with your quest, Lady Ivette." He took a swig, "Your priority is now to remove Grand Lord Idao from power and to keep Lord Ewon alive."<br/><br/>"He is indebted to Aeune and... next in line to inherit the Grand Lordship. That is all."<br/><br/>With another hazy shift of her surroundings, Ivette was once again back in the dungeon underneath Idao's castle. Meiyuun was just behind her, two big brown eyes staring at her in concern, "Are you alright? It looked like you went into a trance just now..."<br/><br/><strong>Ellen</strong><br/><br/>"Ha. That guy." Ermon said derisively, "He's below deck at the moment. I've kept him down there for as long as I can. I was planning on leaving as soon as we got our second adventurer or whenever the fuses were swapped out. But if we take too long, he'll get bored and leave so then we'd have to wait for him to come back."<br/><br/>"Yeesh. Sometimes I don't think he's worth it. That kind of attitude doesn't get you very far in this line of work..." Ermon said with a shrug, "Anyways, his quarters are on the second deck, the third room on the right. And your room's the fourth on the right. We'll be a little while, so you can take off all that armor and relax until we're ready to soar."
