mintedstar/fur "At the door?" Coire raised a brow now a tight bit concerned. "Well.." He gazed away at the thought. "Well..." He repeated , "Alright.." He closed his eyes for a brief moment to consider the open ended possibility. "I mean we're only victims.. I seriously doubt anything will happen." He nodded, "Alright let them in. If things get bad we get out through the back door." Auransky 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛"Alright then," said Lupin, stepping over to the door and pulling it open after a second. He was met with a view of a girl...slightly taller than him, but then again he'd never been considered 'tall'. "Um, hello?" he said. He supposed he shouldn't have been surprised that it was the girl from outside, who'd talked so sarcastically to the tax collector. "Was there something you wanted?" he asked. Lin, looking him up and down, ducked under his arm before he could say anything and walked in until she was approaching Coire. Lupin was left to look at the...guard...she'd left behind, looking slightly insulted. "Hello," he said in a slightly tired voice to the man, the hair on the back of his neck prickling for some reason, and he stood aside to let him in. Lin walked right up to Coire and asked, "Are you the one who owns this building?"

broken"WE wake up, we move about, and close our eyes at night. Whether we open em the next morning, or not is always the concern that should be on people's minds. But it isn't because apperntly closing eyes in the middle of the day is a thing. And for that, it drives me insane." He shook his head. With the door shut and locked behind him, he relaxed taking a look at the room before them. It was a big mess, things were just stacked and cluttered all other the place. Just like his twin...... "Thankfully this is the side of things the general public doesn't see..." He lightly kicked a few boxes to the side. "Well let's make our way for the door, it should lead near the counter. Assuming he hasn't remodeled..." 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛Lyle's eyes filled with excitement he nearly bounced off his feet, but held himself back by standing on his toes briefly. "Thank you father, I truly appreciate it!" He nodded firmly. Swallowing his excitement to keep himself serious. "I wont go around without considering my situation." He assured. "Safety comes truly first." He expressed. On the inside, he wanted to rush off but at the mention of reporting he lightly glimpsed away. "I believe Sir Glen has already gone on ahead to check on the elderly man's home. He will return soon and can confirm." He better.....mintedstar/furThe young lady, and her companion. Such an odd combo or at least it seemed to Coire. The two walked in, and it seemed rather odd, but at the same time with everything going on outside: should it really be a surprise. His blue gaze followed the two, and then the young lady walked right up to him, until they were rather close. That was unexpected.... Her posture brought a serious aura to her, that may be good or bad..."I am indeed the poor man who works effortlessly to produce the needs of the kingdom." He replied carefully while trying to keep a serious tone. While poor was an understatement, he couldn't help but wonder this young lady's identity. Something Glen mentioned? He wondered.

Arai followed Lin inside, staring at everyone one after the other. If one was going to make a move he would be able to stop them before they got to Lin. As a knight, letting the one under his care get hurt would be the worst situation one could get in. And Arai liked his position, not ready to let it get taken from him so easily.
Nathaniel watched his son scurry off. Once out of sight he sighed and rubbed at his eyes. He decided he would wait for a report and finish some paper work in his free time.

Auransky 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 Lin seem slightly amused at this answer, but didn't let it get to her eyes. "Good to know I have the right person." She tilted her head to indicate the outside world, though her eyes didn't move from Coire. "What was that about? I figured that if I am 'defending' you, I need to know if my faith in stranger is well placed." She hadn't been defending him, in her head at least. No, she had simply been defusing a possible mob and rubbing a very rude man's pride in the dust. Lupin hesitated before he closed the door and backed up into a corner. That prickling at the back of his neck was still there every time he looked at this girl's companion. It wasn't like it had with Calec, but he felt like he was missing something. Maybe something to do with the girl? Who was she?

AuranskyPatrick glanced over at Glen once more, shaking his head. He wasn't sure why he was worrying so much, but it wasn't his right to question him about it. Instead, he looked forward and began making his way past a few of the boxes, which was basically a maze. "Alright, I just don't want to ruin whatever he has in these boxes." He paused to take a look at an open box, already knowing what would be in there. He then pushed it out of the way and continued to the door. As soon as he made it across the room, he paused, looking back at Glen then pressed his ear against the door. "Glen! Lupin and Coire aren't the only ones here!" He said in a hushed tone.

mintedstar/fur & 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛Coire watcher her gaze carefully, there was something about her. Different , perhaps something slipping his mind. When asked about the incident he nodded slowly, "Aye, that ..." He felt like it was a while since it happened, despite it only being a few minutes. "The story follows that childish man playing the role of a tax collector. He came, asked, then received what was on paper." He explained. "Then said childish man demanded more, and it's easy to guess that his previous night did not go the way he wanted. Hence more money somehow creates more happiness." He added, waving a hand towards Lupin, "I was threatened not just with my shop,but my life, when my friend here stepped in to call such a childish man, childish." He turned towards the door, "We politely asked them to leave, but they were very eager to take my head. So we simply closed the door, and waited patiently to see what the childish man would do. And here we are, speaking to one another after such actions died down." ((Noises/whsipers for un-human hearing can be awknowledged by either char, Spark and Mint ^)) ((There's two people in the back, and not even the people inside the shop are aware of it xD)) brokenGlen made his way across the room, just seeing everything cluttered around was leaving him inches from burning it to ash. "Ah please, we simply to burn it to ash, and he can use the ash to make more." He softly whisperd back. "So aye, say the word and we turn it to ash." His voice held clear annoyance. "My brother was never one for organization..." Making it past the maze of clutter, he paused at Patrick's warning. "Talk about being the source of the problem..." He tapped Patrick on the shoulder lightly, "Stand back, and find a quick weapon-any weapon within this clutter. I don't know what's going on, but they might be introuble. ..." He softly whsipered glimpsing at the clutter, there surely had to be some weapon somewhere right? "We're not assuming stuff, but we can't just walk into teh room with little information...just find something for protection adn we'll keep listening until; we know more..."

Arai nodded, it sounded like something that man would do. They had talked for less than five minutes and he could already label the guy. Those kind of people were always boring. He was about to suggest they leave when something caught his attention. What was that. He looked around the room, head turning slightly and eyes wandering over the area.

Auransky Patrick nodded, quickly backing away from the door as Glen approached. "A...weapon?" He really hoped that whoever was behind the door wasn't too dangerous and they wouldn't have to fight... Either way, the teenager obeyed and began searching through the boxes. It looked like nothing but scrap metal to him, so it ant very useful. He continued searching, then looked up and noticed a small knife sitting on top of one of the boxes. It looked dull, but whatever it would work. He turned back to Glen, holding it up. "Found one!" He said quietly before approaching the door again. "Did you learn anything yet?"

𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 & broken"Doesn't have to be a weapon.. just a what if." Glen revised his earlier statement. He listened in in the meantime, by the sounds of it his brother was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time. Typical Coire.....We should trade places sometime. No one would know who is who until I physically lay a hand on the tax collector..."Sounds like a big misunderstanding and the annoying tax collector." He replied to Patrick's question. He turned his head towards Patrick briefly, "Don't swing that unless it's needed. For now just keep it at bay.." He whispered, leaning his ear against the door. "They leave, we go out. If they come this way, we back off and demand questions at a distance." He considered their plan of action. "but no physical swinging till need be..." He repeated.

While Lin talked to the owners Arai wandered closer to where he had heard the noise. There was a door that had caught his attention. He wasn't usually one to move around a building like this without permission, but the noise was simply so intriguing... Arai made sure to move slowly and didn't draw much attention to himself.

"Don't he worry, I don't plan on fighting unless needed- which I hope won't be," Patrick muttered, looking from Glen then back to the knife. He tucked it away in an empty sheath that hung at his belt. He listened to the plan quietly, nodding every now and again. "Yes, that sounds like the safest idea, though I probably won't do much of the talking. Mostly because I wouldn't know what to say." His attention was drawn to the door again and he stared at it, as if it would help him see past it. "Anyways, hopefully this thing gets figured out quickly..."

Glen nodded as he listened to patrick's feedback. He was really liking Patrick's company, it was rather reasonable and different then arguing with his own brother. "Right the listening game..." He trailed off, hearing footsteps which may be approaching. He looked over at Patrick cautiously, "Footsteps....Let's back away from the door. Use the clutter the hide, and I'll....go right behind yea." He signaled, backing away quickly yet holding back his breath. broken & 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛

Patrick was a little surprised at first, but he was kind of annoyed that he hadn't picked up on the sound of footsteps himself. "R-right!" He whispered, but froze at the unfamiliar voice for a brief moment before backing away. He bumped into a box, nearly tripping over it but managed to keep his balance, cursing under his breath. The teenager moved to the side, getting low to the ground as he crawled behind some tall-stacked boxes. He peeked out to see where Glen would hide.

𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛Coire raised a curious brow, "Anyone else here at the moment?" He considered now. "Not since the arrival of the tax collector. Our usual numbers died down before hand, but as of this moment it should simply be the four of us." He recalled, making sure. brokenGlen stepped back cautiously, spotting a few crates he slid bedhind a few barrels and held back as much of his breathing as possible. Hiding behind, he hovered closely to the ground. From the ground, he leaned slightly out to see the door. Cautious, at the same time he tujrned his head to spot out Patrick in the background.

"Hmmm, if that's how it is." Arai nodded and turned back, joining Lin once more. He could have sworn... but no. It would be impolite to go digging through other peoples rooms. Even if he did think there were people there. Maybe one, but from what he had thought he heard there were possibly more.

𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛"If such a thing worries you, I invite you to look around." Coire waved a hand towards the door leading to the back room. "I'm certain the door out back is locked, and the only way in is with a key...or my brother..." He added in consideration. "But since the tax collector's show, I am certain to being only us" He nodded at the thought. "But if someone broke the back door-wwe may have herd it as well....I crafted the door to ensure I would hear someone breaking it."

Auransky and 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 Lupin's attention was pulled away from what was happening in front of him for a brief second. He chewed his lip. At the strange man's words about hearing voices, he realized that was what had been tugging at the edge of his attention. The hair on the back of his neck prickled further. This wasn't right. But Coire couldn't hear it... and Lupin could. He didn't look at Arai, but he wanted to. Okay...a, as far as he knew, normal human couldn't here the whispers, but he and the other man could. Ergo, Arai wasn't human. Just great. Another one. Well, Lupin wasn't going to be the one to draw attention to himself. Demons were bad enough. Lin had been listening to everything Coire had said and had yet to comment. As Arai and Coire talked back and forth, she seemed to consider. Then she said, "Check. I trust my companions hearing and we wouldn't want any of the men that were threatening you to suddenly decide to burn down the shop." Her eyebrow rose, seeing if anyone would agree with her.

Arai nodded. Not only did he have permission, he had an order of sorts. Drawing his spear he walked back towards the door. His spear may be a bit long for the room, but he was a master wielder and wouldn't likely break anything. He reached for the door and slowly turned the nob, pushing it open.

mintedstar/fur "By all means, take all the looks to your hearts content." Coire encouraged. "It never hurts to be safe then sorry." He considered, then returned his attention to the young lady before him. "Rude of me to speak for so long and not bring up a single introduction..." He dipped his head forward in apology, "I am Coire Levinwind, the blacksmith in charge of this establishment." He waved over at Lupin,hoping he too would introduce himself. broken & 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛Glen knelt behind the barrels, keeping himself as low to the ground as possible. The footsteps had gotten close to the door, and now the knob was turning.S oon the door would open and someone would walk through it, but who? It certainly wasn't Coire, and Lupin couldn't be, right? Just for caution he reached for a nearby metal rod and grasped it at hand with caution. Just going to see, as to who it is.. He reminded himself so he wouldn't step out, rod swinging by instinct. He would rather hold himself back by waiting to see..

Patrick held his breath as he heard the footsteps get closer and the door knob turned. He wasn't peeking out from behind the boxes anymore. Instead, he was kneeling down beside them, looking to the side with a hand on the knife in case something happened. He hoped it was just Coire or Lupin, but who knows...

Auransky broken 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 "Lupin Riversaulta," greeted Lupin. "Part-time hired hand, as it were." He kept the introduction brief, still focusing on what was going on in the other room. He gave the name he had been using since coming to town. Not like he hadn't used different ones in the past... Riversaulta was...rather unusual for a family name. He wouldn't be surprised if he was the only one. Lin nodded to each greeting, but didn't offer one herself. Instead, she pointed in the direction of the back. "Perhaps you should check as well."
