The said woman, Skye Wulfe was walking down the lane to the inn exasperation in every tense step. With agitated movements she quickly brushed the hair out of her eyes every time the wind blew it back into her face. Frustrated, she pulled out a band and pulled her long brown hair up into a pony tail which minimized the winds effects, but not by much. She could see the long sweeping branches of the Tree of Destiny ((*snickers*)) and sighed with relief. It was not a very pleasant day to be walking, and the ship she was on had left her at the crossroad a mile or so back. She shifted the pack on her shoulder and picked up the pace wanting to get to the inn as soon as possible, her blue eyes scanning the surounding area occassionally for threats. Eventually she made it to the inns door and pushed it open, pausing momentarily in the doorway to view the interior of the room. It was a cheery place she supposed, but in her current mood she wasn't wanting to admire the cozy atmosphere or the cheerful crackle of the hearth fire. She strode across the room in confident steps to the bar and smiled slightly at the Bartender. "Just a water please, I had to walk a while there." She told him as she shifted the pack off of her shoulder and onto the floor next to her stool. She stretched her arms and rotated her back getting out little kinks that had formed durring her long flight and walk. (oohh boy did i miss this  ) |

Popping one eye open as he hears the bag hit the floor, Collins sees Skye at the bar trying to get the knot out of her back. He stands up, grabs the rest of his drink, and walks over. Soon as he gets there places a hand on her right shoulder and sits to her left. "Well don't you look as gorgeous as even and you know I could give you a massage to get those kinks out of your back Skye." He says with a grin on his face and takes the last sip of his pint and orders another.

The bartender got a glass and filled it with clean water, then cast ice9 on it to make a few small ice cubes to form in it to keep it cool and set it down in front of Skye. The barkeep also puts an expecting hand out to Collins.
Leo took note of Skye's entrance and immediately went over to her, ignoring Heffelt. "Skye, I just got here so I haven't picked up any of the room key's but I checked with one of the bar maids and they said that all the rooms where ready. I take it that none of the others are behind you? I wonder if they'll show... I readied rooms for them too just in case though.."

seeing the barkeeps hand pats his shirt for his wallet and then remembers it is in his kilt. Pulls out enough money to pay for 5 pints and says, "Darn I was hoping there was a tab. Here ya go, enough for 3 more."

Skye started at the hand on her back and glanced over her shoulder to see Collins sitting behind her, her back muscles tensed slightly at being touched but she pushed down her initial instincts to grab his arm and twist it until he begged for mercy... barely. She shook her head and smiled ruefully. "Oh I'm sure you could try, but would most likely make it worse, I've never taken massages very well," she glanced at his drink then back up at him wrinkling her nose a little. "You know that stuff will kill you right?" she questioned with mild distates in her voice, before taking another sip of water, thats when Leo walked up, talking instantly of course. "Hello to you too Leo," she said with amused sarcasm before glancing behind you as if one of the guild members might suddenly show up. "Nope, doesn't look like it, maybe they got on better shuttles." She shrugged her shoulder and winced as a knot twinged in her shoulder.

"Not like the captain could do anything about the walk. We had time and wanted to drop by here. And with the wind current's from the mountain, flying the ship low here would be hazardous to everyone. The walk was longer then I expected though, probably should have picked up horses at the last way-station..."

Skye sighed slightly, "yeah horses would have been nice" she pulled the band out of her hair and ruefully shook out her wavy hair that was now tangled and windblown. "I just can't win" She said softly and mournfully to herself as she fetched a comb out of one of the pockets of her pack and began working on undoing the mess her hair had become.

"I sense you are still angry. I told you I was sorry. Besides we all know I am probably going to die before everyone, so I might as well enjoy myself while I have the time." Collins rambles a bit, takes a sip, and stops mid sip because he remember he left his beret by the fire. "I forgot me cover. Darn thing is like precious commodity people always trying to snag it." He rushes back over to get it and places it into his big right pocket on his kilt. He decides just to sit back down and just space out for a while. As he gets comfortable Collins mumbles, "Not long before number one finds me again. Hopefully it won't be till after this nap is over." And Collins falls asleep, feet propped up on a chair, arms crossed over his chest, and his beret covering one eye.

Skye shook her head slightly as she watched Collins move away. She wasn't angry at HIM not really, it had just been a relatively frustrating day. Finally when she had her hair under control she glanced around again to see if things had changed then turned her attention back to Leo to see if there was anything else.

Leo had ordered a drink himself of some kind of juice and gave the barkeep the coins for it, plus a tip. leo mumbled more to himself then anyone else "I like this barkeep." then turned back to Skye "Do you know how long you want to stay here for? I asked to keep the room tabs open and close the ones we aren't using if they don't show up by the end of tomorrow."

"I'm not sure, we'll see how long it takes for me to go stir crazy then I'll let you know. I dont know about the others... but I gotta take care of something, I'll talk to you later Leo" she told him destracted slightly by her desire to talk to Collins. With a sigh she snagged the water, and her bag off the floor and moved over to his table, dropping the bag by her feet and slumped into the chair setting the cup carefully down on the table. "Whats your deal?" she questioned quiet enough that no one outside the table would hear as her blue eyes narrowed on him.
(there, now it makes sense lol)

"zzzzz snort snort huh? Oh yea. Just relaxing. Finished a stupid contract where I almost had to kill the guys who hired me. Idiots didn't listen to me when I told them to let me handle it." Takes a sip of his drink. " It would have been fun though. Rigged their entire office with explosives cause they pissed me off."

"Isn't it a bad thing to kill clients who pay you? Doesn't that make it hard to find more people to contract you?" She questioned mildly amused though her eyes still hadn't quite stopped glaring yet.

"They tried to cut the pay in half because they almost got killed when they went off on their own. Had to save their sorry behinds. Course I know soon as number one hears that he might be a bit pissed off." Takes another sip and sits up slightly while taking his beret back off and putting it into his pocket again.
