Capell sighed in relief and would come back to the others, to find that Mink was...a bit different. "Well well well. And here I thought you couldn't get any more beautiful." He smirked and winked at her, then started walking along with the others. He let go of Nitsua's hand and made sure Mirage was with them. "C'mon, before the old coot starts following us. I think this miss though gave him a bit of a scare."

Sure enough, the man was frozen stiff to his spot. Capell was very thankful.

"What exactly are we running from, Capell?" Mirage asked, following behind him. She glanced over her shoulder, and caught sight of her brother catching up with them.

"Yes, just why exactly are we running?" Trey reiterated, placing his hand on his sister's shoulder. He wasn't very thrilled on the idea of Capell trying to kidnap his sister from him, along with Mink and the other woman. "And did you really think you were going to kill someone in broad daylight?" He had said the latter statement to Nitsua, still glancing at her cautiously.

Capell chuckled and winked at Mirage. "Work." To Trey, he expanded a little on the response. "That was the king's advisor. He's the one that brings me the work that the king wants me to do." He smiled at Mirage. "It's nothing important. I don't want to be working when I can spend a few more moments with you. Since you are going to be leaving, after all, I want to be in your lovely presence as much as I can." Such a smooth talker..

"Your 'rules' are irrelevant." Nitsua was quick to coldly answer the man, who in her mind was obviously taunting her. "I know my options, and their direct and indirect consequences." Truly a pragmatist, was she not? Sure, she had a deal with the King, but her sense of honor applied mostly (if not only) to the battlefield. What are words?

"Or do you wish to take his place instead?"

Red didn't squee this time. He knew she didn't mean it. But Cas was quick to scold her for her threats.

Trey steadied his gaze upon Nitsua. Slowly, a smirk came across his face. "Is that a challenge?" he asked, somewhat intrigued by her words. "Because I would gladly take it. Don't think I take threats so lightly." He tapped the side of his leg, somewhat expectant of her answer.

Mirage hissed at him. "Don't start anything, Trey. This is hardly the time or place. Besides, I thought you wanted to leave." She glanced to Capell, wondering if he would get into trouble for running from the advisor. But she was distracted again when Trey spoke.

"What? You can have fun but I can't? I would have thought you would have jumped at any excuse to stay longer."

Capell felt he'd be much less in his lady's favor if he didn't stop her brother from getting in a fight. "Now now, you two. Everything's fine, aye? How about we all go and I'll get us some drinks? We'll have a perfectly fine time." He offered a hand to Mirage, and one to Nits as well. "Would you lovely ladies like to join me?"

A glance was given to Trey. "If you think you can go without starting a fight, I wouldn't object to your joining us."

Mink had watched the proceedings with growing disinterest, crossing her arms and yawning. Her tail swished idly behind her, large ears sagging slightly. She perked at the mention of drinks, however, and her eyes lingered on Capell as he offered his hands to the two women. A small smile.

"Oh, Capell, that's what makes things fun." Then, more to herself, "Unless fire is involved...then it's not fun.."

"This is highly unusual.", the elf would say aloud. Of course, she was talking to the spirits, but that didn't mean the others couldn't hear her.

"Don't ruin it all now, Nitty dear. Play along. What a wonderful trio of spies we are!"

Truth was, unless the drink was water, she was hardly interested. Even if being a bit dizzy helped make Red more bearable, she wished to be in peak physical form in all times. Still, she would clumsily take the hand being offered to her, and let the thief take her... wherever he was planning to take her.

"What does this man want of us?"

He seemed to snap back to reality finally as he shook his head then glanced about in silence before tracking the group down again and yawned boredly.

"Why does all the exciting stuff happen when I'm not around?" he muttered.

(Yay! I am finally back. Heh.)

Capell smiled brightly and escorted the two ladies off to the nearest tavern, chuckling back at Lazaras. "Because you don't pay attention." He smirked and would seat the ladies, then sit down himself and order whatever drinks the girls wanted. "So how long are you ladies planning on staying, hm?"

He was quite content. Sure he couldn't really have the stuff himself, but having ladies around always made things more pleasant!

Mirage went with him, though she wasn't sure Trey would agree with it. She glanced back at her brother, who seemed disappointed to be denied a fight, and annoyed that his sister was being dragged off once again. He did his best to keep up through the growing crowds of people. When seated, rather quickly she thought, she looked to Capell.

"I don't drink, but thank you for the offer," she said, raising her hand slightly to decline. And when he asked how long they were staying... Well, unless her brother had changed his mind, she would be leaving as soon as this all was done. He seemed to tolerate this enough to let her stay, but how long would that last.

"Ok...I'm done with this undead-soon-to-be-dead-again man."

He then shook his head and glanced to Trey.

"My apologies for the upcoming scene of mass chaos."

He then turned and walked into the same place as Capell and the ladies did and simply stood there at the door seeming to zone out again. His massive form blocking the door entirely.

Trey raised an eyebrow to the demon's words. Undead man? What did that mean? He followed him, standing just behind his massive figure as the blocked the doorway. Apparently he was not very fond of Capell either.

Mirage looked to the looming figure in the door, and tapped Capell lightly on his arm. "I think someone is not very happy with you," she said, and noticed the stares other people were giving, as well as a few fearful looks.

Capell looked over as Mirage tapped his arm. "Hm? Oh, him. Don't worry. I'll take care of this." He smiled and winked at her, "Go ahead and order some water, if you wish." He stood and walked over to Lazaras. "Something wrong? If not, then please don't stand there and cause a scene. I'm trying to relax and enjoy myself." He took one glance around, falling unsettlingly on Trey. The kid was bad news, especially since Capell was hitting on his sister.

He chuckled at Capells words then glanced back at Trey.

"Didn't I say something about making a scene before we came in here?"

He then looked back to Capell.

"Wanna keep me from making a scene then how bout a bloody Mary. Add a bottle of hot sauce. Hottest they got in this hole in the wall joint. Big mean demon gets grumpy when he's thirsty."

His eyes then rolled to the back of his head as a sickening smirk crossed his face.

(Hope no one minds if I pop back in.. x: )

Mink was a bit peeved at being ignored by Capell as he carted the other ladies off to the bar, but eh, whatever. She followed anyway. Boredom and time were two things she had. She chose an unoccupied table next to the one the others had settled at, ordering some random beverage. Her eyes flicked to the demon filling the doorway, slight interest sparking in her eyes. Her enhanced hearing helped her make out some of what he said. She quirked a brow, a bemused smile forming across her face.

"Strange one," she mumbled to herself, tail swaying lazily as it hung from her seat.

(I ain't got a problem with it. Welcome back. Just got back in this one recently myself.)

Nitsua was no longer aware of the shallow, useless and overall - in her mind - stupid conversations that were taking place around her. Her drink was untouched, on the table in front of her, and she had her eyes closed. Again.

As long as she wasn't being bothered, any place was a good place to try and hone her senses besides sight.

Capell sighed and ordered Lazaras what he wished. "I'm willing to do anything to keep from being pummeled, honestly." he mumbled. He smiled at Mink and then looked towards Nitsua. "Is everything alright?" She seemed awfully still, so he was a tad concerned. Hopefully she wouldn't be turning an attack on him too.
