Wing City - Gambit's Bar


ImageArrow swung the door open gently as he entered, noting the quiet within the bar and not wishing to disrupt it, and closed it behind himself with a quiet click. The archer made his way across the room to seat himself in a booth. His eyes wandered to the counter to ponder ordering a drink, but noting the present bartender, he thought better of it. Arrow took out a book, removed the bookmark, and set to reading.
ImageWhisper glanced up and gave Arrow a brief arch of her eyebrow as he sat there. He wouldn't be the first Patronus that had refused to be served by her, but she would inquire none the less. Closing the book in front of her she left her pen trapped beneath the pages to mark her place. "Can I get you anything?" she asked.
ImageArrow lifted his eyes from his book to look at Whisper with a neutral expression, eyes betraying nothing of the feelings behind them. A mixture of ire and disappointment, tinged with sadness. "Since you are offering," he said, "A cup of tea. Milk, no sugar." The archer might not wish to speak to Whisper, but his sense of manners required him to at least respond when she addressed him directly.
ImageWhisper inclined her head as she prepared Arrow's drink. Sliding the steaming cup across to rest in front of him, she hesitated perhaps a moment, her eyes lingering a time before she shook her head lightly and withdrew her hand. "Perhaps we could speak of a matter..." she said carefully.
Image"It would depend on the matter, I suppose." Arrow responded, raising an eyebrow. The archer leant back in his seat with the drink and sipped from it, frowning faintly. His book lay folded on the table, and he did not take it up again as of yet. Whatever Whisper intended to speak about, he would give her a chance to make her case, at least a small one.
ImageWhisper nodded briefly as she ran a hand lightly through her hair, mulling over how to go about addressing this issue. Sometimes honest and direct was the best route. There was little to be gained from dancing around the bushes, or playing games when they both knew where the other stood.
Image"I'm not rightly sure how to go about this, so I'll just be blunt. I would like to speak with Sylvire, but showing up at her library knocking on the front door probably wouldn't be the wisest idea, for everyone involved." she said.
ImageArrow raised an eyebrow, "You wish to meet with Sylvire? I've not had much contact with her. In fact, not at all since she questioned me regarding the circumstances of the injury I received from a certain shadow creature." The archer sipped from his tea. "I hear you tried to kill her. I am not sure she would be inclined towards reliving that experience. Why?"
Image"I did, and I have no excuse for my actions, other than I assure you, it was never my intentions for things to go how they did." Whisper replied carefully. Her eyes shifted towards Arrow's shoulder. Images flashed through her head, memories of him lying on the floor, soaked in blood. Shaking her head, she gently raised a hand to her forehead, fingers pressing lightly against her brow and rubbing it as if she had a headache.
Image"I am sorry for what happened to you as well." she added wearily. "I will suffer for my sins soon enough," she murmured softly before shaking her head. "But no matter, this isn't about me. It's about Dinaeus, and Maleficus."
Image"You are taking a different tone to our last meeting." Arrow said, "I rather got the impression you cared very little about your actions then." The archer folded his arms, "I am aware of those names, though I have not encountered either of them. Perhaps you should explain to me first."
ImageWhisper sighed softly, "Simply spoken, I'm worried for him." she explained. The tone of her voice seemed sincere enough, perhaps even a touch more sincere than should be expected. "Dinaeus that is. I know there's likely nothing I can say that will gain my words any credibilty, so if you'll help me, great. If not, I'll find another way. I wish only to speak with her, somewhere public and with plenty enough bystanders," she explained.
Image"I will relay your message." Arrow folded his arms, "Because I can read you like an open book, Whisper, and I am not even an empath. Obviously something has changed, to affect your attitude." Arrow inclined his head. "Did you have a location in mind?"
ImageWhisper seemed almost relieved at Arrow's words. "Thank you." she said. "And no, I do not. I don't expect her trust, my only conditions are as stated. Somewhere public. The Plaza perhaps."
Image"Very well." Arrow nodded. "I will inform her. And how are you faring, Whisper? What conflicts do you suffer at present, as I assume they are plenty." The archer sipped at his tea sedately. Whisper could choose whether to remain and converse or not, she seemed to be worthy of at least a few words at present. If nothing more than that.
ImageWhisper seemed almost taken back by Arrow's inquiry. His civility hadn't surprised her, but she hadn't expected such a remark from the man. In fact she fell utterly silent for a moment, her eyes betraying her weariness once more. "Times have been better." she admitted finally. "Yourself? And the Patronus?" she asked, returning the gesture.
Image"Personally, uneventful. I fear that what remains unsaid is perhaps the most significant, though. The lack of news from all corners worries me. Failure to communicate is the sand in which the foundations of a war crumble."
ImageArrow folded his arms, "But perhaps now I am in possession of a callstone such things can be improved." The archer raised an eyebrow, "What is your situation with the succubus? Am I to take it that you are less in her thrall, given your presence and your wish to aid Dinaeus?"
ImageWhisper averted her eyes elsewhere, her hand raising to brush against the ring that hung at her throat. The gesture could have been mistaken as one of fondness, given that she had averted her eyes to hide the pain and fear within them. Closing her fingers around the ring, she clutched it tightly.
Image"I do not wish to aid Dinaeus against Nyx, only Maleficus." She would not betray the succubus. "My loyalties... are to Nyx." Her voice was strained and it was difficult for her to speak such words, false as they were within her current state of mind. "Not to the Orsa of Terminus," she explained.
Image"I see." Arrow said, disappointed. "Well, Whisper. I will not say it has been a delight to have this talk with you, but I will say that it was less of a travesty than I expected."
Image The archer rose, nodding to her. "I will pass your message along. Farewell, Whisper. May the gods grant you a quick end when it comes, or a release from the succubus that you might flee what you see as your fate. You are not my enemy, but neither can I count you as my ally, nor truly a friend. You understand. Goodbye." And with that, the archer departed.
