    He looked at her then and for the first time let his final mask drop as he leaned forward to stare at the fire in Safa's eyes. She believed it but that was not enough, he needed to believe it as well. He needed to know beyond all uncertainty that she was ready to put it all on the line, that she...

    Leaning back again Morcar wore seriousness anew on his lean face. "Rhun tried to get into the vault to confirm the ring's location. He never made it out." His mouth opened as if to speak but he stopped himself. Something told him if he asked again about those Safa had in her care again she...

    "Indeed." He replied stifling a laugh at her response. It was confident, perhaps a bit of bravado in it but he knew better than to pry further. She had her reasons as all folk did and trust was also knowing when to let things be. "I do expect I will, once you return with the ring. The window...

    "No I'm from the Eastern Coast. The ways of the free cities are strange to me." The chuckle that came from him was soft. "And I have much to learn, hence all this and you and Zsa-zsa. I act through you that I might not impede myself with my ignorances." Refreshing his water he continued...

    Curling his smile and looking into the barren fireplace before he answered. "No I don't suppose you were. Zsa-zsa, as you call her, has gifted me the simple understanding that fed people are agreeable people." As he spoke he put cheese on a cracker and spread the pate on it. His memory of the...

    Scrambling, running, huffing and puffing Morcar bolted to the other end of the building as soon as it was safe to do so unseen, pausing only briefly to take a drink of water from one of the many city fountains. The heat became worse when exerting oneself. Still gasping for breath he reached the...

    Dare Locked Out of Heaven

    *Mister* Morcar did not think himself dignified enough to warrant the title, and as a scholar he knew it to be variant of the title Master which he was not fond of. Master's were people who stood out in the open, he was a thing hidden in the dark. Like Safa herself and the countless others who...

    He sat and settled the old woman's form into the chair he was beginning to like the term of endearment. "I am glad to say that my, our employer has seen to the matter of your previous employer with what he told me was minimal fuss. He doesn't like mess and goes to great lengths to keep it that...

    The bar was full, as it often was and as he entered in the guise of the old woman once again it did not take him long to clap eyes on Safa which drew a smile on his face. She was punctual and that always pleased him in a partner. As he made his way over he was sure to approach from where he...

    Back home at last, well his home away from home. The trip was slow as he meandered through the alleys, swapping forms, once he became the large man in black he was not bothered. Outside his sanctum far from the cares of the world, Morcar had many smaller, more modest places to rest and if...

    And ruthless to boot. How marvelous he thought that was in an agent. "Thank you kindly dear, that would be very nice but I am not nearly as helpless as I look." The old woman gave Safa a playful wink and flexed her fingers. "These old hands still know a trick or two with a dagger in the dark."...

    A cruel glee came to the old woman's face at the question. "My employer will likely kill them once they know who they are." She took another sip of the wine and Morcar savoured it as he watched Safa's expression, it didn't budge, a perfect professional. He laughed in the old woman's voice. "Oh...

    Dare Locked Out of Heaven

    Shrewdness was a trait that some found troublesome but for Morcar he found it much easier to deal with those who knew their worth. "I think it would please him to hear you say that you are still open to offers." An old hand plucked an olive and popped it into an old mouth, chewing it and...

    The old woman's face smiled wide as she sat up straight. "They said you were sharp." She appraised. "He is a sorcerer from the Empire and he has a fondness for collecting art. The rings are of course a unique set. They have peaked his interest as well as a few other items if you should like more...

    The old woman poured some wine for them both and passed a glass to Safa. Her own she took up and smelled, Morcar liked wine and this one, while nothing special, was sweet enough to work for him. "Do not mistake "simple" for "easy" child. The item in question is far from here and well protected...
