Cliodhna nodded listening, before contacting Siha she had heard some disturbing news on the Flame link line. "Siha, they're already putting the next steps into motion. I'm not sure who; but one of ours has been captured; a Keeper. I don't want to worry you but you need to know this is serious and we are risking quite a bit with our current course of action. You have the option to seek shelter and I would advise you take it, but if you insist on staying; myself or Piper will find you. He'll know what to say so you know he's with me..though he will call me Tempest. Until then I highly advise you remove your pearl; even if we're not on the Flame line, they can still trace us. This is the last time I will have my pearl active until we're in safer footing."
After the call ended, she swapped over to the Flame channel. Things seemed quite but there was no details on which Keeper was caught. It could have been either Mikh'a or Kahn'a. Sighing softly, Cliodhna placed her hands over her face and scrubbed her features from frustration. This was quickly heading into a worse situation. She could understand Mikh'a being captured but if he was; the others in Ul'Dah would of course react to rescue.....On the other hand, she couldn't figure Kahn'a would let himself be caught. Moving to Pepper; she dug into the saddle bag and removed a small leather pouch. Tugging on the drawstring to open it, Cliodhna slipped out her pearl and placed it in the bag, it landing with a soft weight next to Steiner's soul chip. He was in one of the saddle bags but at the moment it was not safe for him to be active.
Standing near Pepper, her hand idly brushing over her feathers; Cliodhna let her gaze drift over the blackness of the water as the stars twinkled above. It had been some time since the bridge and the rain but it felt like another lifetime...her free hand twisting the ring on her thumb worriedly; the side of her index finger brushing over the front of the gold ring, feeling the grooves that marked it as a Flame's signet ring. Erik used it for sealing his documents, but he hadn't notice her slip it from his hand when they parted, or he simply let her, She mused silently; both options were plausible. Though some would say it was an awful thought; Cliodhna had been grateful the captured wing hadn't been Erik. The others were....slowly becoming known to her on a personal level, but being used to being on her own for so long and not bothering to form lots of longstanding relationships; she wasn't as concerned as Siha most likely was at the moment. Erik was still safe; that's what mattered to Cliodhna.
"Hey what's with that face?" Feeling a weight around her shoulders, Cliodhna looked back, her dark green eyes meeting Piper's garnet ones.
"Well bein on the run does that to a girl, you should know that by now seein as how many you've chased off." She replied offhandedly, erasing the worry from her features and showing him a grin before giving him a poke in the chest but firmly causing him to step back as she used her other hand to shove his arm
from her shoulders.
"Aw c'mon Tempest, ya know they all pale in comparison....." He murmured softly, his mouth set into a line. "I'll never find another that can stand a chance 'gainst ya....."
Cliodhna shook her head, "Pi-Youkio, I've told ya before and I still stand at it; you're not it. I'm sorry, I really am but I'll never be what you want or need me to be. Find yourself a nice girl and settle down; ya can't keep livin in the past."
Looking away, Youkio reached up and scratched the back of his head; tousling his hair in the process. "Whatever....I'm still here for ya, where's yer guy if he's so damn-f-fuck!!" His hand flew to his quickly swelling eye as it teared. "The hell Tempest?!"
"Piper." Cliodhna murmured quietly. "You say one more GODSDAMN WORD about any of this to me and I break every bone in your body before feeding you to Leviathan. Are. We. Clear."
By this point the boat had docked and Seig was already departing, waiting for them on the dock. "Now, you need to go find my other contact. She's a keeper, blonde, short, look near water, I heard waves in the background and not a lot of people so she's most likely tucked away in a corner out of sight....Tell her..." Lowering her voice, Clidohna tugged in Youkio's ear to her height; causing him to wince as he listened.Â
"Ya got it?" She asked. He nodded, still rubbing the shiner. "Yeah, yeah I got it. Now for the three of ya and your bird need ta get through the city careful and head for the Zephyr Gate, Northa there I got a small shack out by Rogue River. It ain't much but you'll be able to stretch yer legs and not be spotted as easily."
Clidohna nodded, giving him a pat on the shoulder. "Thanks....We'll be outta your hair soon." Were her last words as they parted; Youkio headed for the outskirts of Limsa and Cliodhna with Seigheart towards the gate.
