The two men replaced the shrouding positions of their hoods, each of them giving Roman a short nod. All three men exited the building, and quickly moved through the raining streets of Ravok. The two Ebonstryfe took up positions on either side of Roman, their shoulders gently nudging him along in the direction that they were supposed to go in. Roman would noticed how the crowd parted for him and the three men. A few odd glances were tossed toward him and his rather looming figure, but those glances were quickly directed elsewhere. Perhaps it would be empowering for the normally timid doctor. As he walked down these streets, he was being associated with an extremely powerful group. He literally had people scurrying to get out of his way, crowds parting before him. Respect for him and what they thought he was could literally be felt in the air. "Empowering, isn't it?" One of the men whispered in Roman's ear, the amusement thick in his quiet voice. Soon, the Silver Sliver came into view. One of the cloaked men reached out to grab the door and yanked it open, holding it for Roman and the other cloaked figure. The remaining Ebonstryfe gave Roman a short push forward, allowing him to enter first. Right as Roman would stumble forward a step, he would suddenly feel a small steel dagger being pushed into his palm. He was given the handle first, and the idea was clear. "Here. We need you alive. Keep an eye out for trouble." With that, all three men swept into the Silver Sliver. There was only one waitress on duty tonight, for the steady rain had people pent up inside their warm homes. There were four or five dark-cloaked figures inside, and Roman would likely assume that those were other Ebonstryfe. One of them was probably this "Kain" they had spoken of, and who knew who the others were. One was probably the white-haired freak, if he had indeed been serious when he had said he was thirsty. There was only one other man here, a haggard drunk who was snoozing at the bar. The two Ebonstryfe simply headed straight for a corner table, as far as possible from everyone else within the building, waving the approaching waitress away. "Keep your eyes open. Kain knows his time is short. He may be suspicious of why we are here." Indeed. Roman would easily feel it. The minute they had entered the room, the tension had thickened. |
