Ana Minake

After taking in Siva's disapproval of her plan, she turned back to the tree and twitched her nose at the scent of someone familiar that didn't travel here with the group. She shrugged her shoulders and listened to Miyu's explanation. She smiled back to the innocent wink and turned back to the tree as she felt the younger Miquo'te's grip tighten around her own. She closed her eyes and took a calming breath before she turned and whispered into Miyu's ear, After hearing the dashing male's proposal to earn the reward, a sly grin played across her lips. "This might make my plan valid."

Figuring that she should keep her mouth shut and not anger Siva, Ana remained quite dispite the tounge lashing she wanted to deal to some of the new comers. Alowing Miyu to lead her by hand, she scanned the surrounding area as they headed out to the tree. It's not like she didn't know the place, but she was fairly certain that something other than the tree was behind the deaths. After hearing the different theories as to what was behind the deaths, she turned to Siva and spoke softly so that even others in the group had a hard time hearing. We could always stage a wedding. It wouldn't be the safest thing, but with the amount of people we could watch over both the couple and the... Her eyes darted as she saw a shadow sweep out of her peripheral vision. To no avail, she turned looking for what it could have been. Raising her free hand to her chin, she continued. Yes... We have enough people to at least see what is bringing the wives back to this tree.

She had sat down next to Miyu to enjoy a well needed drink and tell her friend about the extra money she received; however, after quickly being quieted, the young adventurer sighed softly and started listening as well. "Did I miss something? Eavesdropping was the last think I was expecting to do," she thought as she took a sip from her drink. Hearing the door open up up the stairway, she set her drink down playing her smile once again. "It must be Siva... I wonder what she was talking to Lady Kai about.." Twitching her ears to the sound of more foot steps, she turned back to give a light nod to the other Miqo'te that had entered the tavern. Turning to Siva's greeting, she brushed some hair from her face and continued the motion into a small wave. "I don't know if that's a good thing with you just leaving Lady's Kai's study." After hearing their instructions, she pushed back her chair and raised to her feet with a stretch. "Mew.. why does she think we can't work together? Any way... I'm not sure how much help I can be, but I will do whatever you need of me Siva." Setting a hand on her hip and the other under her chin, she closes her eyes for a moment and mouths the words "the Hanging Tree." "Does this have to do with the couple that was supposed to get married a few days ago?"

After waving off the first time visitors she led to Gridania, the short young Miqo'te ran off towards the Raven Eye Inn. She grins happily as she pulls out the bag of gil they had paid her. "Hehe! Miyu is going to be happy about this. I love big tippers!" Getting closer to the inn, she stows the gil into her pack and starts paying more attention to the trees. "Aha! There you are you nasty bird!" A few yalms away from the porch of the inn sat the raven that plagued Ana's existence ever since she first found this in. After a few minutes of unsuccessfully aggitating the bird to make it fly away, she walked up the steps of the inn. Brushing some of her dark blue hair from her face, she enters and takes a look around before seeing Carissa looking to Miyu. "Meh... What's going on now," she thought before making her way to Miyu's seat playing a grin. "Mew! What you doing Miyu?!"
