First Meeting [Fraha]

[Astraea]

OOC: Sorry, I mis-read it.


BIC:
Astraea glanced back one last time before her and Fraha disappeared into the corridor, and she looked forward to see stairs rising before her. It did not look too dingy here, but it was not lush either - that was to be expected though, she guessed, considering it was a Tavern. She had stayed in Taverns in much worse conditions; Some of them hadn't even had keys! Not safe at all.

She heard Fraha's response and nodded, smiling again. "Ok, if you are alright with it." She replied, and shrugged slightly. She really did not want to make Fraha uncomfortable, but if she said she was fine with it, Astraea would take her word for it - she didn't want to make a fuss over potentially nothing.

Quietly following Fraha up the stairs she ran her right hand along the wall and looked around her, taking in the new place. She watched Fraha take the keys for her room and walked not far behind her, beginning to him lightly to herself. Pausing, she curiously said "Curious about it? How so?" Her right hand dropped back down to her side and she stopped by the door next to Fraha. She looked at the door in front of her and wondered what was on the other side. Every now and then thoughts of the chase and those men flickered through her mind but she tried to push them away for now; she just wanted to sit down and sip some wine.

As the reached the door Fraha, now quite calm about the two men, put inside the metallic and slightly rusty keys in the locker. She was quite sure that the barkeeper would cover them, he looked trustfull. She knew the tavern's lock problem, as she would turn the key she would have to raise it a bit to touch all the pins. But Astraea's question surprised her making her fail her action. "it's a" Fraha shortly looked at her with eyes a little widened before she quickly started to speak again trying to not seem speechless "that I'm curious about the local tastes" smiled she to quickly turn the head to flick the key again and with a light tackle push the door to open it. It wasn't she, in some way was curious about the local taste...of alcohol...for the first time. "here we are finally, come in come in" said she with a smile revealing the room to Astraea. It was a simpe room, with gray rockmaiden walls and a wooden floor. There was some space but not too much, around 6 meters x 4. There was a bed under the window wich was facing south, near it a table leaned on the wall with some shelves in it. In front of the table a wooden chair. On the other side of the table standed a small closet with some candles and a vase of flowers on it. next to the entrance door there was a bathroom with all the minimum stuff. The pillow was turned to to be near the window. The thread ends here sicne it's rather long.

THREAD AWARDS The two women thought they were safe in the tavern room with their jug of wine. The fruit seller, however, saw them enter the tavern. He alerted the nearby Knights. Four in total entered the tavern and asked where the two thieves were. The bartender told them the room, for fear of having his business shut down. The Knights crept up the stairs slowly, swords at the ready. They surrounded the door, ready to strike. One kicked the door open hard and they charged in, "You are under arrest thieves!" The Knights quickly had the two women's arms pinned behind their backs. The Knight leading the group stepped in front of them as the Knights behind them kept their wrists held tight. "You steal from an upstanding business men... And expect to get away? Hold them tight." The Knights complied, as the lead stepped into Astraea's space. "What is your name? I will know if you are lying." The woman timidly told him her name. He then began frisking her for weapons, leaving no curve of her womanly figure unsearched. Finding nothing but her coin purse, which he tossed on the bed. He then repeated the process, an embarrassed blush growing on her face as his hands explored the young woman's body. He found her wakizashi and threw them on the bed, grabbing her coin purse as well. "In the name of Syliras, you are each fined 3 Silver Mizas for the damaged apple, and a further 2 Gold Mizas each for disturbing the peace. If we catch you stealing again, we will throw you in the Tank, and you would wish I were your punishment." He took the coins from the women, grabbed the jug of wine, told the bartender to charge them for it, and the soldiers left.
