Still no word from headquarters. Katibree thought to herself while lounging on a nearby rooftop and observing the children from afar as they shopped. On the upside… I've already made back the gold pieces that I handed over to the kids by dealing with the scum that has been trying to mug them over the last couple of days… But they're pretty much done with everything and will be headed out of town within the next couple of hours most likely. The assassin sighed to herself and moved around trying to find a more comfortable position on the rooftop.
I guess that I can't really complain all that much. This is probably about the closest to a vacation that I've ever had, but it's doubtful that babysitting is what the guildhall had in mind when I was sent to this side of the barrier.
How long do they expect me to wait? I don't want to disobey orders and head back to the hall without authorization. The job may not even be technically finished yet... Or there may be some type of follow up that they need me to take care of.
The half elf produced a flask of her now favorite type of wine that she'd discovered during her short time in Zephilia, taking a small sip from it as she watched the boy named Rza barter back and forth with a pack mule merchant while the younger girl named Ino scanned the rooftops with her eyes in an attempt to spot their self appointed "guardian angel." Soon enough she'd set her eyes in Katibree's general direction and began waving enthusiastically before finally turning to help Rza saddle up the newly purchased pack mules.
She's got good eyes. The assassin thought to herself with more than a little amusement.
Oh, well…looks like it's time to find something else to do with my unscheduled vacation time. I'm sure they can handle themselves from here on out. Katibree thought as she got up to leave. "Best of luck kids." She added audibly, looking back after them with some fondness before making her way down and off of the roof.
She dropped down several feet into an alley next to a tavern, startling a random thug who had been urinating there. The thug spun around in surprise releasing a sporadic stream of pee in her direction which she sidestepped with amusement. The half elf merely raised a mostly platinum eyebrow as the man snagged himself in his haste to zip up his pants and sank to his knees howling in misery.
That has to suck. She thought, turning with a nonchalant shrug and walking around the side of the tavern in search of the entrance.
