Adriana fumbled around in her pocket. The No Mans Land Tavern was across the river from the Castle Commons and the Rotten Ruins, where she lived and frequented. Therefore she had to take a boat across the river in order access the tavern. In her pocket was her magic little shell, her best kept secret, somehow even better kept than her own identity. She used the shell earlier today to get to the Seaside Market District. She knew the little boat would be better to travel around the city's waterways. But she wasn't about to tell this man about her magical secret. She needed a way to get the boat out and usable without him realizing it.
"So, uh." She started, unsure. "There is this canoe... thing... that someone kind of just left around. Dont know, maybe its abandoned. I use it from time to time, useful when you dont want to pay the Sevfra." She finished, and motioned towards the door.
She would begin walking, assuming the man was into the idea as he already seemed interested. The door out that tavern was quick and once outside she squinted at the sun, taverns always being dimly lighted. She pointed to the east, its over here, kinda hidden.
She knew the town well, and so she knew there was an overgrown of plant material at the edge of the river just east of the tavern. She had used the area before to hide and observe. It would be the perfect place to quickly wander off and set up the boat before Vasin could see.
Assuming Vasin was following her, she was glad her hiding place was nearby. It would only take a moment for them to hop over form the tavern to the riverside. Once she was close enough she would turn and tell Vasin to stop for a moment. "It should be right here, let me go check to make sure, theres no need for you to get up in the brush with all your armor if its gone." She would make sure he stayed as he was before she slipped behind the bushes.
She fiddled the shell in her pocket before retrieving it and placing it on the bank before her. The water of the river lapped at its sides, staining the wood a darker color at its touch. She bent and with one quick finger, poking the etched face of the shell ad took a couple of steps backwards.
Quickly the shell would grow and begin to transform until only moments later it was a full canoe, half in - half out of the river. She grinned, the magic always amazing to the girls eyes and mind, before she nearly skipped back to where she had left the man and motioned for him to follow her once more.
