The Lalafell winced as he dug back the knife tip into his thumb, having whittled too fast as he contemplated the recent events and was caught up in his own thoughts.
After Delial walked away and Kage had left Kiht and Franz to wait by the pillars of the bridge’s underside, he had gone back to the dead. After the man had slaughtered the man and the old woman, Kage wanted to see if perhaps all clues were not lost.
Unfortunately for them, the man was clearly of the Brume. He had the armor to do mercenary work but his figure and his very few belongings made it clear why he had come. The bribes. He had nothing special on him. The old woman had a few trinkets but Kage could not see anything that was significant. A pendant to Saint Reinette, who she seemed to have prayed to when the heavily armored man came swinging his large blade around. Nothing. Who was Saint Reinette anyway? The Lalafell thought that maybe he should ask Franz, or maybe not. The man was quite upset with him. What was Kage to do? Smash through his hulking body? Take off a limb or three? Maybe collapse his chest? Franz seemed to expect it but no matter how much the Lalafell snarked… he didn’t think he could do it.
“Little wolf…â€
The man had said it. Called her it. He hated how they used it. He didn’t want them to ‘own’ the words. Oh Kage knew who it was referring to. Delial knew too but neither Delial or himself wanted her involved. They clearly wanted her for something… but what was it they wanted to return to her? Did they have Gharen? Was it he they had? It bothered the Lalafell, his use of the wolf. ‘Wolfsong’ What did they want with her? Why...It nagged at Kage that the heavily armored man used the same things that had afflicted Wolfsong some time ago. And the man himself was missing. It seemed less and less likely that the Ul’dahn Monetarists had anything to do with his disappearance.
“Ouch!†The prick brought Kage out of his musings, and he wrung his finger in the air. He rubbed at it before surveying the wood whittled carvings.
Kage trotted off to send off the totem to her, with barely a word. The note attached just read:
The other item he sent off was another book for Delial Grimsong and a key. The note attached read:
The book was titled “The Seduction†Its subtitle description read: A Forbidden Tale of a Highlander Femme and a Fist of Rhaglr Monkâ€
With a heavy sigh, Kage returned to the new lodgings. It had been an exhaustive endeavor. He had not cleaned up after Zephyr’s messes in the old place but she seemed to have rebuilt her nest of the clothes Kage had piled up for her in the old place. They had started to get some odor, most likely from what the nest protected. The place at least gave more room and Zephyr seemed to be content and the owners of the lodgings didn’t mind the beast inside or outside. The Lalafell wondered when it’d be that he could wear some different clothes again before a squawk and pointed look from the griffin brought out a sigh.
Kage burrowed to the griffin’s side, helping to protect Zephyr and her precious ones.

The other item he sent off was another book for Delial Grimsong and a key. The note attached read:
Quote:“Miss Grimsong, I loathe the idea that we are so close to those that are so hostile now since. I have obtained new lodgings, further from which may attempt to strike down our door at night. I hope you have not read this before.â€
