Maybe Freja had noticed that they are becoming the center of attention, and maybe not, but she still led them away from the men that were talking less now. They were, however, staring at them, until they disappeared around the corner.<br/>The men followed them, of course. They were closing on them already, when Freja stopped, turned around and a nearby cat fell from a roof nearby, with one of her daggers in its neck.<br/>Machado drew his own weapon from under his cloak, swung it twice and the cat fell down in two pieces. The dagger wasn't on it, though - the spike of the axe had hooked it, and the mercenary threw it back to his friend.<br/>"Target practice, honey? Don't lose your weapons like this."<br/>"Don't worry about that, dear. I don't see anything to practice on... Are you sure you relly don't want to pick a fight with a tough guy tonight? It would help my mood, you know... and the goddess would be happy!"<br/>"Yes, honey. I'm sure I don't want to do it tonight. I don't want to anger the city guards... too much."<br/>While speaking and walking, they also cleaned their weapons. Anyway, nobody approached them.<br/>Maybe they didn't want to mess with unknown religious fanatics, or maybe they've just got the message.<br/><br/>The rest of the road passed in silence. The guard grabbed the silver and loooked at them surprised for the pay. Good. They wanted to be remembered leaving, after all.<br/>While they were hiding, Machado gestured for them to go by themselves. Then he made the sign ofr "soon". Freja nodded, and Lina had learned enough of the sign language from Kurrad to be able to get the message, iven if she didn't like it at all. Still, she obeyed - the two mercenaries seemd to know what they were doing, even though Freja seemd to be sleeping again.<br/><br/><br/>Nothing surprising awaited Freja in the spirit realm either. She might tell me if you want to try and ifluence anyone while you are there - you can only influence living persons, of course, and then not always successfully, if they are not in the spirit realm themselves.<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 3pt;"><br/>Just notify me if you want to try and influence anyone around.</span><br/><br/>Soon, they went back for the city. Nobody seemed to notice them, anyway. There was some burst of voices behind them, but the armored one didn't stop, and the other girl didn't want to risk losing her from her sight.<br/>Machado joined them before too long. He seemed a bit muddied, as if he had crawled on the streets while he wasn't there. The man offered no explanation and asked nothing, just nodding approvingly when he saw where Freja had been leading them.<br/>"Even his best guards wouldn't like to be here at this time, and I doubt we are all that important now. Thus, we are safe - from spies. The locals are another matter, but I think I could afford an orgy room. Of course, it would mean we have to make some money to afford the stuff we need for traveling, but we'll be safe for tonight."<br/>Freja also knows that there are glyphs of warding to ensure the customers' privacy...or that anybody wanting to intrude would have to pay a hefty bribe. No point in checking for spies, and no point in going for the spirit realm yourself.
