Location: An Inn Room at the Forgotten Knight, Ishgard
"What do you mean that I am fired?!" Sarnai shouted, slamming her left fist on the table. She wore an expression of angry disbelief, her brow furrowed and an angry scowl on her face.
In the room in front of her was a man wrapped in a completely black cloak covering him from head to toe. He remained silent as Sarnai expressed her clear anger at the situation.
"Tsk." she said as she calmed down then brushing her hair to the side of her face with her left hand, leaned back into the chair she was sitting in and crossing her leg's, right leg over the left.  "Some bastard must have told him about me, or something that I did."
"Master." the tall cloaked figure said in a deep voice. "Shall we locate and execute the traitor?" He said without a hint of hesitation in his voice.
"Hrmmm. . ." Sarnai hummed, thinking for a moment while raising her hand to her chin.  "Killing would just make matter's worse. For now, figure out who told Otto Vann about the murder and find out their disposition on the whole thing. If they prove to be a liability then you can take their head. I would rather not prefer violence be the method though so think before you act."
The dark cloaked figure lowered his head. "By your will master."
Khansu was, to put it lightly, Sarnai's star apprentice she introduced to the darkside before leaving Orthard. He was not much of a talker and always very subservient to most things Sarnai asked for.
"It is by sheer luck I think that I am not wanted at large in the shroud for killing two people. I guess I owe that to the fact that the victim's were Ala'mhigans and that the pointy ear's do not like outsider's. Still, it will be a hassle in future dealings in the shroud." Sarnai scoffed as she set her hand down on her lap. She looked at her right arm, which seemed to be healing nicely. The pain lessened every day, which was good. She had a gut feeling she would need to be in peak physical condition for what was to come and an injured arm was sure to slow her down.
She looked back up to Khansu and asked "So what is my bounty out there currently?"
"The bounty is small master. The guards are keeping and eye out for a shady looking or tiny Auri out in the South Shroud, but should pose no issue should you avoid settlements guarded by Wailers." He stated, with no change to his low tone of voice.
"Well that means this will be okay barring more violent outbursts from the Darkside." She said as she sighed a bit.
"Master." Khansu said, pulling out a small guildleve pamphlet from his robes sleeve. "There was something listed about someone wanting to gather individuals who have sighted strange thing's in the shroud. I thought you may want to give it a look, given our recent talks on the shroud." He said, offering the pamphlet to her.
Sarnai was quick to reach out and receive the pamphlet with her left hand. She read over it for a minute or two, before setting it on the desk, then looking to her apprentice, she would say "It seems people are one step ahead of me and are attempting to nip whatever is going on in the butt. It would not hurt to join with them and help, if they will accept it that is."
"Will you make the trip then master?" the apprentice asked.
"Likely, yes. I still have to help the shroud, even if they do not want me there or hold me in contempt. I have to make a stop at Ul'dah anyways so it is convenient." She said as she moved the piece of paper to the side. "Speaking of Ul'dah though, you should come. Bring a friend or two from the order. I will be speaking to an outsider who knows of us. While I have confidence that our meeting will be civilized, it would do well to have a few hand's to stay any idea of violence for either side."
Khansu bows his head slightly. "By your order master. When do we leave?"
"In a few sun's. For now, we bide our time in Ishgard while my wounds heal. I trust you will protect me should outsiders come for us?" Sarnai asks, raising an eyebrow at her apprentice.
Crossing his arm over his chest, he bows and says "By you will master."
"Excellent. Off with you now." Sarnai said, making a dismissive hand waving gesture with her left hand.
As Khansu left the room, silently and without much noise, Sarnai would slump back into her chair and sigh deeply. Recent events were alot to take in. She practically had to convince herself and lie to others she trusted so that way they would not turn her away. It pained her to do so. She hated lying to trusted people and friend's, more than anything else, but if she simply asked for help by telling the truth and without them knowing it was not her fault for killing the two civilian's in quarrymill then they would likely have not helped her mend her arm.
Sarnai honestly did not care for the death of the two civilians. What was done was done and not much could change what happened, however she believed she was handling the situation poorly. She hopefully wanted to believe that the situation would resolve itself and all this will blow over before her lies and actions come to light in the face of those she trusts, but fate is hardly ever that kind and would no doubt wrench around her guts even more before it was all said and done.
