Yenix pointed to an empty table near the bar at which a few men sat, taking drinks from there bottles. There were two chairs and he sat down in one, ushering for Uni to take the other. The men at the bar luckily didn't seem very drunk yet, and were talking maybe a bit louder than they should have. Yenix hoped that they would have some information to help them in their mission.

Uni took her place, and only looked up when the bar tender cleared his troat. "What'cha want?" he asked, rather gruffly, cleaning a glass. "Nothing for me..." Uni said meekly, really hoping she was convincing. She wasn't meek by nature, so this was a bit of an effort for her.

Saige glanced down an alley as Amaranth dragged him and spotted a shady lookin guy in the shadows. "Amaranth wait here a bit." he pulled his hood down over his eyes, put his hands in his pockets, and swaggered down the alley, a devilish grin on his face. "This bums in for the surprise of his life..." he thought to himself.

The bartender nodded his head and turned to Yenix, asking the same question. "Nothing." Yenix replied. The bartender looked at him questionably and Yenix just shot him a glare and he backed off, grabbing another dusty glass and cleaning it as he went back to the other side of the bar. Yenix sat there and listened to the men ramble on about what seemed like nothing for a few minutes. Then however, they began to talk about the recent robberies, some even saying their house was robbed from. Finally, maybe they'll have seen something. He thought to himself, listening intently and Wraith jumped off his shoulder to sit on the flat surface.

Uni nudged Yenix, and pointed to another group of men who wern't far down the bar. She mouthed the words, 'I'll be right back', and sliped out of sight. She walked slowly down the length of the Bar, smiling at the men as she went past. The Bar tender was Eyeing her, but she ignored him until she was level with him. As she looked up into his eyes, she smiled slightly. "Can you please tell me About the robberies?" She asked, cocking her head to one side. "Me and My friend have just come into town, and we are rather worried. Is there a place we can go, besides the guild, which will be safe for us tonight?" Inoccents dripped off every word, and she hoped he would buy it. He stared at her for a second, then spoke, "Sure is little lady." Uni winced inwardly, Damn him. "There's a hotel about two blocks south of here that hasn't been broken into yet. If your looking for more supplies, you should go to the shop one block northa here. Got good prices, although it's rumored that their in with those bandidtes. Watch your pretty little, "Damn him to hell, "Neck." Uni nodded, smiling, and came back to Yenix. "Shop, one block from here. North. It;s rumored that they are helping the robbers."

Yenix watched her walk to the end of the bar and gather some useful information. Hmm, she's pretty good. At least now we have something of a lead. Yenix thought, quite happy for the tidbit of information. She came back and he quietly got up, walking to the exit as Wraith flew out ahead of him and into the much lighter streets. "I think I know what shop he was talking about, and it's just up at the top of this street." Yenix said once they were clear of the bar. Wraith circled Yenix's head for a moment before he landed back down on his shoulder and he folding his wings to his back. They walked at a good pace to the shop. Upon reaching it Yenix looked it up and down. It was small, barely noticable in betwenn two much more pleasant looking ones. "Yup, this is the place." Yenix said before grabbing the door handle and opening it with a sqeak from the hinges. He walked inside, no one seemed to notice as they entered. Yenix slipped behind an alie closest to the counter where a gruff looking man was talking with the shop keeper. "So, how about those supplies you promised us? And another some more blankets, those woods aren't getting any warmer." He asked, looking around cautiously and failing to notice Yenix or Uni. "They are in back, let me get them for you." He replied, tunring to get them. "I think he is one of the bandits." Yenix whispered to Uni as the shop keeper came back out with a bundle. It was covered and impossible to see what was in it.

Uni nodded, not daring herself to say anything. Finaly she whipsered, "Do we have a way of tracking him?" She turned to Wraith, "Can you tell Naph to tell Maranth what we found?" She asked in a horse Whipser. One of her Knives was allready in her hands in case of anything.

"Yes, the message is sent. If they show up quick enough, we can follow him back to his hideout." Yenix whispered back as Wraith contacted Maranth and Saige, telling them to come quickly. One of Yenix's hands was resting on his axe as he continued to quietly watch the bandit speak with the shop keeper, looking throught the bag and asking questions. Yenix hoped that he would continue long enough for the other two to come before he left the store.

Uni whipsered into his ear, "I'll wait outside, incase he leaves. I can tell you which direction he was heading in." She grinned, then slipped out, for once glad that she was just a slip of a girl.

"Ok, I'll stay here and see if he says anything else." Yenix replied before she left. He watched the bandit and heard the door open as Uni went out. The bandit turned his head to look at her, but disreagarded her as the door shut and turned his attention back to the supplies in front of him, checking them over carefully. He seemed to be pleased by what was in front of him. Yenix looked around and noticed that there were no windows in the entire shop, quite odd he noted. He quietly walked out from behind the counter he was behind and picked up a small hatchet. He walked to the front of the store and put it on the counter. The shopkeeper took it and told him how much it was and Yenix handed over the money. While he was putting the money away the bandit put everything back in the pack and turned to leave, spotting Yenix. "Yenix, what are you doing here." He asked, staring at the boy. "Hmph, nothing of interest to you. Just passing by, you on the other hand better get going." Yenix growled. The bandit snorted and pushed past him, making his way out of the store. Yenix followed after him at a safe distance, exiting the store and finding Uni.
((I'm planning something with Yenix, that's what the conversation was for. Just have Uni be unaware of it and it will all be explained later.))

Amaranth rolled her eyes. Men... Mine, Wraith tells me we are needed. Now! Crap... Thinking fast, Amaranth stood on her tiptoes, schooling her face into a vapid, stupid expression. "Yoo-hoo, darling!" she called in a sickly sweet voice. "Where on earth are you going, dear?" she asked, coming up next to Saige and taking him gently by the elbow, her eyes warning him to play along. She fluttered her eyelashes at the bum, inwardly disgusted. "He's always wandering off like that, the silly thing!" she chirped. "Let's go, dear." With that, she smiled at the bum and pulled Saige off. Once they were out of sight and hearing, she filled him in. "The others need us- let's go!" Then she started to run, dragging him along behind.

((I think we need to go with mine, since yours does not involve the message. Sorry, but for some reason my computer didn't post my message until I got back and refreshed the page, and then I had to modify.))
