Where: Deave Inn
Room Desc: This is a respectable inn, well-kept and tidy, with white painted walls in the common room, tables of various sizes and matching benches, carved from light birch tree wood. On the tables are vases with flowers that are regularly changed, as well as candles to offer a cozy lighting during late evenings. At the back of the room there are stairs leading to the upper floor, where rooms can be rented.


Early afternoon brings many to the tavern to enjoy a mug of ale or a glass of wine and sample some of the 'nicer' foods fit for commoners. Among the crowd, at a table near the back, sits Rayne. A far better sight than when down in the dungeons as she's been given a bath and a change of clothes. Still, she sits where she can see everyone, speaks to no one, and simply consumes a plate of cold meats, chunks of cheese, and a glass of wine.

Marcus comes wlaking into the inn and like always he is wearing his woodsy clothing, hood up and looking like a man from the woods. He even smell like camp fire by the scent coming from him. He does look to the innkeeper and then looks around and eh spots Rayne. There is a grin and the mischivious look to him as he walks on over, not hiding the fact he is and then sits across from her. " Lady Rayne, pleassure to see you looking much better than last time we seen each other."

Rayne gives a blink as she sees Marcus heading over towards her. Sitting up a little more in her seat, she lifts her cup to sip at the wine within, regarding Marcus with a gentle look. "Master Marcus. Lovely to see you as well." She can smell the campfire on him, among other scents, but for now she says nothing on them. "How have you been?"

Marcus smiles brightly towards Rayne. "I have been well, satyed in the woods for the last few days...actualy since you asked me to help. Got's me closer to knowing who it was , passed on the info to Ottis." then he closes his eyes, as he looks tired. " Glad your alright." as he opens his eyes then, still smiling.

Rayne looks to her plate, pulling apart a piece of the meat, lifting it to consume and then pushes the plate towards Marcus, gesturing to it. "Some food?" Talking around her mouthful before taking a breath and letting it out. "I've found out some other information, but I am going to be quite careful with who I speak with from now on. I do not need to be imprisoned again so soon after being liberated."

Marcus looks at her and as she slides the plate on over he looks again confused . Though he does dig in, it has been a while since he had been in the inn to eat. He does eat, like a commoner who cares not who is looking. " I found out it was a cult, that did it. Plus I think they mahve stolen the tapestry teh islanders seem to be fond of."

Rayne reaches once more to break off a chunk of the cheese, nearly in half, before slowly beginning to consume it as well. "I see." Her eyes shift to look just past Marcus, to the tavern room beyond and her gaze remains there even as she consumes a bit more before asking. "Do you know anything about witchcraft, Marcus?" Sliding her gaze over to him then, a brow raised.

Marcus continue to eat, even after hearing her words he contiues. " I have heard of such tales. Though I have not seen it myself, why do you ask, you think there is witchcraft happening?" he is always the skeptic, if he has not seen it, it really does not exist. Though he is cautious in any case.

Rayne scoffs a little and then shakes her head. "No, Marcus. I do not think witchcraft is involved. I - myself - do not believe it exists. Still, it has been brought up a time or two in my presence. So I was simply curious." A smile is offered then as she lifts her glass to sip at the contents within. "So, a cult you say? How were you led to believe it was them?"

Marcus nods and then chuckles lightly. "Aye, I need to see it before believing." then a drink is finaly brought to him and he nods to the waitress. After a few moments and a slight taste of the drink he speaks again softly. " Well, around the isles, it's common knowledge, there isa cult. This cult is said to have belonged to the previous religion before Onimoria. They are allowed ot worship in one place and one place only and it's in their temple in Piradin." taking a bite of the food he chews a bit before continuing. " Every member of the cult has a bright blue ribben attached to their arms, so all know who is the cults worshipers. The innkeeper told me that they were of the cult, so put two and two together. It is why I kept on going back to Piradin, to see what I could find out, what whispers could be heard."

Rayne seems to consider this a moment before reaching to take a bit more meat from the platter. A nod given to the waitress who refills her wine glass. "You said you went and slept out in the woods for a few days. Did you hide your camp once you were done with it?" Choosing another direction of conversation all of a sudden, but that does not mean she is not retaining all that she learns.

Marcus continue to eat and then stops as he realized it is not his food at this time. He does take a drink though and then licks his lips, tasting it once more time. " Why are you asking this Rayne? I have lived in the woods many times and can leave a site like I was not there." though it really does not answer her question.

Rayne raises a brow before regarding Marcus after a moment and then moves to consume another bite of meat, this time breaking off a bit of cheese to go with it. "Just trying to keep the conversation going... you do not have to answer that which you wish not to." Offering this much as she finally tears off a chunk of bread. "I do wish to thank you for your help in this matter. Is there anything I can do for you as a sort of...repayment? Or was the hunt for answers alone payment enough to satisfy such a request from me?"

Marcus sips his drink, and then licks his lips again. Her words he listens to and eventualy grins. " Rayne, all I ask if I happen to fall on your lap, nearly dead or injured, cure me and do not ask questions. Then you can send me on my way. As for the hunt, it was delicious..." there is a hint of excitement in his eyes, the thrill of hunting in his mind the ultimate prey, humans.

Rayne eyes the man for a moment longer and then gives a nod of her head. "With you, Marcus, I do not think I would want to know the answer even if I do ask. Still, I will attempt to not ask, but if the question slips, you are free to not answer it." She was a healer, after all, and sometimes knowing how a person is injured helps in the healing process. However for Marcus, she could count on anything being the cause and just doing a basic cure all just in case. Catching that excitement in his eyes she actually chuckles and for the first time since Slider had sat with her she seems to loosen a bit in demeanor and posture.

Marcus chuckles at her words of a reply to his asking of what not to do if he happens to show up in such a state. " Alright, we are in agreement." though many things could change from now to then. He does notice she seems to relax a bit more and then there is that smile he gives her. " So, what are you going to do with your new found freedom and how are you going to celebrate?"

"I'm not sure. Perhaps I'll simply do as I should have from the beginning. Tuck myself away in a corner and not come out until we're actually leaving." Unless her services were requested, but Rayne would lift her shoulders in a shrug. Finishing off what was left of the food in her hand, she pushes the plate more towards Slider and waves towards him. "You can finish it, I'm not as hungry as I thought I would be." Saying as much while she lifts her glass of wine to take a long drink of it.

Marcus chuckles and then shakes his head no. "You won't be able to Rayne, many visitors and teh Duke will probably have a word or two with you." Then taking up more food and eventualy drining more of hsi drink ." Oh and Rayne, you have anything that may make a person dizzy in a powdered form?"

Rayne raises a brow before giving a scoff. "They can come find me. Tucked away in my corner where I'm behaving and not getting anything started about me." She had enough of the lies and the rumors, enough of the stares and gawking. Though when he asks that other question, she would raise a single brow before angling her head upwards. "I might. I have a few variations of the nightshade...which in small doses will make a person dizzy - or knock them out. ...Or kill them if they are weak enough against it."

Marcus chuckles and drink a bit more drink > " I am sure your famous enough that the before off will come and visit. Either one of us that is." then leaning back he nods and listens to Rayne about certain thigns . " Ah yes, good to know. Would you be so kind ot teach me, eventualy?"
