*At the manor*

[elhall79uk]

*gently... softly*

George, I have seen you throw yourself into combat where others hold back. I'm sure I've seen you kill before...

I hadn't heard that you were in the hands of a heretic... do you need to talk.

*Straw lays a hand on George's knee*

*Starts at the touch, pulls away slightly*

I use a staff, Miss Straw. It only winds them or knocks them unconsious. It doesn't actually kill them.

We've alread captured one of those scum. High father Gris took him out single handed then used a ritual to capture him. There are two others. One a Kryganite, the other a necromancer. I'll find them both eventually.

*George looks grim but determined for a moment*

If the necromancer dies before I get to him fine. If not, I will do it myself. May Vleybor forgive me.

*The carefree expression is back*

But dont worry, I'll be sure to be careful. I'm much more powerful magically now, I'd even be prepared to take him on.

[elhall79uk]

But you also carry a dagger, don't you? I don't know a mage that doesn't.

*Looks to the two elves in the room before focusing back on George, a puzzled but somewhat sad face*

*Straw gets to her feet and seems a little lost*

I can't advise you on this... I can't help... Too often do I get the same feeling.

But know this... Hate can take you over. Find someone to help. Someone that can give you focus or become lost to it.

Its no matter Miss Straw I've been fine so far. Mmm, this gingerbread really is good.

You know, maybe I should use a different name for a bit. So that when I travel the necromancer wont know that I'm getting closer.

What could I use, hmm...

[elhall79uk]

There are many names that you could use. Please be careful.

True, true, it can't be linked to anyone I know. I think the Necromancer knows a lot about me, even down to all three of my masters.

He took one of my eyes, you see. I'm told that it can be used to find things out about me. I think a different name may confuse him though.

Lets see, hmm...Oh, what was it I heard Fin say just before I came in...

Ah, I remember; how about Amadan? I've had a few elves call me it in the past. Do you think it suits me?

[elhall79uk]

*Straw snaps around to face George*

All three of your masters? So who ever he is could try for Isilwen for get to you?

*Straw takes a step forward*

How much danger is she in?

*Looks back, slightly startled but not worried*

None at all I believe, in his last insulting letter he referred to her as a human, so I believe he only knows the name.

I burnt the letter I'm afriad, I was somewhat angry. Lets see, what was written was something like,

"I know where you are, I know how to kill you. All three of your masters were fools (Sorry Mistress Isilwen, not my words) and as incompetent as any men who haven't delved into the true depths of necromancy. They will not save you from me."

Also he is...somewhat incapacitated. He is bottled up somewhere in Lirron, the Duke's scouts are all hunting for him and we believe we're getting close. Its why I need to return so soon, to help finish the hunt.

[elhall79uk]

*Straw visibly relaxes... then with a glace in Isilwen's direction looks somewhat sheepish or embarresed*

Not too much danger then...

*sighs and sits down next to George again*

Don't let your anger guide you, instead look to channel the anger. Think.

You could have used that letter to help narrow the search, or at least have it to refer to. He is trying to prevoke you into rash actions that will see you at his mercy again. There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom; and you need both in a hunt like this.

Yes, *Glances at Isilwen* you've always been trying to get me to do more thinking.

I will take care, how about this; I promise to be back by Budding, to invite you to tea again.

[elhall79uk]

And I will gladly accept such an invitation.
