A city floating in the center of a lake, Ravok is a place of dark beauty, romance and culture. Behind it all though is the presence of Rhysol, God of Evil and Betrayal. The city is controlled by The Black Sun, a religious organization devoted to Rhysol. [Lore]

Kit made an agreeable sound in the back of her throat. Note; people and tried to hurt him, and probably died. Of course, there was any number of things he might have meant; imprisonment, bribery, exposure to a mind-meltingly awful bard; but death seemed the best conclusion to draw. Less chance of underestimating him that way.

"Illicit?" After a moment she grinned, propped on hand on her waist. "Unless you consider hopping between rooftops a crime, nah. The low streets in this city are so long and winding if you don't borrow a Ravosala. It's easier to look for high streets, over ropes and short jumps." Leaps she had said, and she was being literal. It was no real secret how she got around Ravok; no point in hiding harmless things that would be as easily discovered if he stepped outside and watched her leave, or even just asked around. Shy Carsma moved by leaping and climbing, whenever she could. That was not one of her secrets.

She was admittedly unsure of what he thought she thought this was 'about.' Maybe trying to deny that he was working with Valerius as a poisoner? Not, of course, that he would trust that information with the courier who delivered that message if it was true. Just like he likely wouldn't trust her declaration of innocence; after all, if she had done something illicit, why would she tell a stranger? This conversation was going nowhere, except in circles. "I don't suppose that you have a message for me to return to Mister Nitrozian?" She asked, trying to call back her facade of the professional courier before Kit gave anything significant away.

Don't Touch ANYTHING

Inoadar laughed along with the girl's grin. "I would hardly call any amount a of jumping a crime. And if you are carrying loot from a burglary, the added encumbrance only makes you more deserving of escape for the additional weight." He gave her an assessing look. "But I wouldn't imagine weight is a great concern for you."

He looked toward the upcoming ravosala platform, adjusting his direction accordingly. "No, I only meant that such a phrase as "caught me in the act" generally implies an act that is not allowed. So I was just curious why you would apply it to the act of leaping. But it's hardly important." He looked up to the rooftops as they walked, her description of "high streets" striking him as picturesque. "I suppose if you can get to the rooftops quickly enough you save a great deal of time. But surely the climb up must cost you some of that time."

"Well, as much as I have perched myself upon a roof or two in my time, I will take the option of a boat ride, I think. I doubt seriously that I could keep up with you, and I would not do you the disservice of slowing you down." He looked down the length of the canal, seeing no boat yet. he chuckled once and looked back at Shy. "Given that you will arrive at the estate well before I, the only message I would ask you to deliver is that I am on my way."

They said their goodbyes and Shy turned toward the nearest building. Inoadar suddenly called back to her, reaching inside his cloak to produce a small package. "Here, this shall be part of that message. This is Intellect Mist. A beneficial concoction I promised to bring him the next time I came to the estate. It is in both liquid and spiked tobacco form, I described it to him before. He will know what it is."

He gave her a small stoppered vial and a small bag of tobacco. "It was a pleasure to meet you, Shy. Maybe I will join you on a rooftop someday."

"Oh sure," she said. "Just leaping isn't criminal, but there's certain assumptions people make when they see you up high. And when you get down to it, there's not much difference between doing a crime, and being mistaken for doing a crime." In Ravok, appearances could make a guilty man innocent, a innocent woman a monster. It could make a slave free.

"The climb is the hardest part," she admitted. "But once I'm up, there's not much that can slow me down."

Just like that, their little talk was wrapping up. Kit was glad; Nolan had a tendency to ask the penetrating questions. She accepted the Intellect mist, bent her knees and neck in another feigned curtsy. "I'll give Mister Nitrozian your regards, sir." She said. Kit slipped the mist into her jacket pocket. She turned and joged down the edges of the canals, eyes open for some piece of rope of anchor that she could use to better propel herself to the rooftops. She turned a corner and vanished from Nolan's sight.

OOCSorry for the wait, on everything. First there was christmas, and then there was a family tragedy in late december, and then I had a thumb injury that I'm just now getting over. I should be getting around properly to posting now. This thread, on the other hand, should be done.
