Another? (Cass)

Her confirmation of the fact that she was homeless as well kind of worked as a relaxant for him, and he felt like they were even more on a common ground than before and stronger then was his pull towards her. Thoughts of what they should do for housing eventually did come up in his mind, but for now he figured bouncing from inn to living outside would do for now until they could find more permanent quarters to suit them and he figured his loner lifestyle could make it without a home, since he had made it this long and he figured Cass could too since she had a tent and all. " Perhaps should we raise enough coin someday we could invest into more permanent quarters but for now I think a active lifestyle will suit us just well " he said with a soft smile, resting the ends of his elbows on the table, and folding his fingers up in a pyramid shape in front of him. Her response to the comment about ale surprised him, and furthered his ideas that most tales revolving around the zith where either false or exaggerated for effect and they weren’t at all what the public portrayed them to be. " No drunkards running about because the mead rivers never stop flowing, my the tunnels must have been quite the paradise " he said either ignoring the comment about drinking blood or not caring about it too much.

Her view point on the role of the other cities guardsmen was a refreshing one never seeing the guards needing his type of armor, or the need for stealth, but the use of it would likely make the men's jobs easier, which why no doubt they had scouts among their ranks that could travel unnoticed ahead of the line to warn the others of any approaching trouble. Still if every guardsman was outfitted with his armor, it would the army of death, so silent would they be, and supplemented with all of their impressive skills it would truly be a force to be reckoned with. " Ah yes lets be glad that they don't all have my armor, then know one would be able to tale a tale of them " he said with a bit of humor in his voice to add levity to the situation. " Your brothers had some wise sayings about them, as silence is power, especially here, and it is best harnessed with practice something I need to do as well sometime, maybe when our wounds heal we can practice together as well some more " he suggested with another smile and put his hands behind his head while staring up at the tavern ceiling.

The loudness of the tavern seemed to be increasing as they stayed there, but his was in the norm for him, and he knew it could get even louder and busier, and likely would before the sun rose again. Being not as distracted by the bustle of the tavern he could pick up on Cass less and less tolerance for the noisy people in the place, if not by body language then by her words. He found himself growing a little bit annoyed with the populace as well inside of the tavern, and standing up he extended a hand to Cass as he spoke. " I think we have waited long enough, come along let's see if we can't find a room over by the sunset quarters " he said, and then he was off heading out the door of the rowdy tavern, and into the open aired street, and after crossing numerous back alleys, and other dark and shady places in the safest part of the lane he could think off, the dead center, they had finally gotten to the slum section of the city, and after a brief walk from their wound up at the sunset quarters where Darian hastily secured a room there with the kind woman he had done business with there on occasion, and then was off to his and Cass's private room, only stopping to take a breath when the door shut behind him, and he looked over at Cass. " Much better " he said with a smile.

Cass nodded. "An active lifestyle suits me just fine at the moment." And it was true. She didn't have any plans to settle down. She still had loads more to explore. So far she had only experienced the human life within a city lacking any sort of law. She could only assume life was different among other human cities where the law was noticable and practiced. She could only assume a lot of things, since she had yet to see the whole range of the human race. So far she had experienced the enslaved humans of the tunnels and the free humans within Sunberth. And while things were drastically different, Cass still yearned to explore. She could spend her whole lifetime exploring the human race!

Darian's comment about the tunnels being a paradise caused her to frown. A fleeting image of Darian in the tunnels wormed its way into her head. She quickly shook such horrible thoughts from her mind. "Far from it. Well actually that depends. If you happened to be a powerful Zith with many slaves to ten to your every need...then yes, the tunnels were a dream. But for the rest of us we had to fight to survive and to eat. Not many of the lower Ziths took on slaves. Just another mouth to feed when you can barely feed your own. And for the humans...let's just say they die out faster than we do." Cass was glad when Darian turned the conversation towards his armor. She didn't like thinking about the tunnels. "Don't worry, I'm thrilled they lack your armor. They probably would have spotted me by now and I assume they don't take kindly to my kind."

A small smile returned to her face. "Then it's a done deal. When our wounds are fully healed, or mostly, we will hunt for meat and bones and practice our skills so we may be a great force that only fools will dare to reckon with." Taking Darian's hand she rose to her feet, glad to be leaving the noisy tavern. She had enjoyed her stay in the tavern but she could have done without some of the sour smelling humans. Sticking close to Darian, Cass followed him through the dark streets. The thugs seemed to have disappeared, which Cass was thankful for. Enjoying the cool night air Cass happily followed Darian through narrow alleyways, sticking close to the thick heavy shadows. It wasn't long until Darian had found a woman to secure a room with. Cass was quiet as Darian carried out his business with the woman.

Within minutes the woman was gone and Darian had led Cass to their room for the night. Entering the room Cass instantly pulled the hood of her cloak down to reveal her face. Hearing the door shut behind her she turned around to face Darian. "Once again you surprise me with your skill to secure perfect rooms." Stepping forward Cass gently began removing her black silk gloves from her hands. "So, should we get some rest or stay up a little bit?"

The room sounded so silent, and without the hustle and bustle of the day’s events or other pressing matters distracting him, he could once more focus on Cass fully since the previous night, and he found the sight breathtaking. Walking in close to her, his hands cupped her cheeks and he kissed her longingly and deeply his lips only breaking from hers after several moments. His head swiveled around to take a brief cursory view of the small simply furnished room, before they met hers again and his hazel eyes seemed to glow when they reached hers with warmth. " I'd hardly consider this room to be perfect, but it'll will serve its purpose for the night, and help us along our way to recovery " he said a smile curving the corners of his lip, and he kissed her hard again, walking against her closely, and parting from her lips just long enough to answer her question. " I suppose we can stay up for a bit longer before we enjoy some rest " he said and slowly he walked her to the bed, gently picking her up in his arms, and he carried her gently, being mindful of her bandaged leg while he laid her out across the bed, and crawled over with her, kissing her deeply, and in the passion that followed all thoughts of what was to be done where forgotten as well as the plans for the future, only yet to be remembered as a hazy dream in the morning, and quickly put back to purpose, and the mark of the start of true love between two unlikely people would set the days in Darian's memories for many years to come.

oocAll hypothetical of course if Cass would like to add anything she is welcome to, but I believe this will wrap up the thread as agreed upon
