"Robyn." The woman said as she rose to her feet, then tightened the blanket around her upper chest before tucking in a corner as some makeshift attire--not unlike Eris had to make use of earlier. Pretty young, she's the arms and stature of someone used to more physically demanding labour, and likely had a similar muscled appearance to the half-naked man already standing with Nina. A man who also added in his name. "Segar."
Robyn started working to undo the braid of her long auburn hair, messy from having slept with it in, while Segar spoke as he scratched his darker cropped haircut. "I'll tell you what I can remember... we were out... two weeks ago? And-"
"Sarenith, the seventeenth," Robin cuts in, to which Segar gives a nod, and utters, "Right," then continues, "It was... normal, pretty much. Most of the night, nothing going on. We went out a few hours after dusk. We did our usual patron. Down the main street to the brothel, circle the square, to the other end, and repeat. I couldn't tell you what time it was when we saw the elves, but it was well before dawn."
"I was the one who saw them, idiot-boy was distracted." Robin cuts in, for the second time, with her continuing this time. "We were at the south end, by Wynrie's place. I saw something moving in the square, we... rushed... to get over there-"
As Robyn said that, Segar glanced away and shifted his weight, while also clearing his throat some.
"But all we really could see where the backs of about... four of them? They saw us or... I don't know, but they were already taking off in the other direction. We raised the alarm, ran out into the field after them but they just moved too fast. Once they hit the treeline they seemed to vanish like shadows."
Segar nodded in agreement. "We got some torches lit up and poked around, while the Captain checked in with Ophleia. Whyadda know? Elves didn't leave any tracks, no surprise. When we got back we were told another one of the women had been kidnapped. I told Robyn here, and the Captain that I swear it looked like one of them had a big bundle of something, maybe even a person, but-"
"Oh come on, Segar, it was too small to have been a person. They're elves, little pansies. They aren't going to outrun us carrying a body," Robyn counters, making Segar frown. "Well, the Captain thinks I'm right because where did the girl go then?"
"I don't know!" Robyn huffed, then she glanced to Nina. "We done, can I go back to sleep?"

None of the papers had any pictures upon them, though there were various names. Jaron Gray, Beatrix Crewe, Brom, Sazura, usually noted as the disputing parties. Other names indicated who oversaw the issue, likewise names Rea didn't recognize, including both Robyn and Segar, as well as Algar Daywater, all members of the guard. There was a reprimand or two for Segar and Robyn as well, for being less than vigilant in their nightly patrols.
~~~ Brothel, 2F, Maribel's Room ~~~\
(Aiko)
(Aiko)
"What?" Mirabel asked in a partial gasp, for a moment her eyes widening. "I--you--what-" She fumbled with her words for a short time, clearly a bit confused over what Aiko was speaking of. A moment later she pushed the door shut, however, it was followed by a few more soft clicks, then she pulled it open proper. Although looking uncertain still, the more soothing tone that Aiko had clearly put the woman at ease enough to let Aiko inside the room.
The room wasn't particularly fancy. A large bed full of lush pillows and a thick matress took up the majority of the room. Dividers--which were pushed aside for the moment--revealed dressers and armoires that would otherwise be covered up during business hours. That included a small vanity, next to a full-length mirror, where several things lay scattered about. Makeup, and powders, though a close look at Mirabel's face showed she had almost no makeup upon her whatsoever.
"Ophleia let you in... ?" she asked, with still a hint of worry, perhaps, paranoia. The moment Aiko stepped inside the door was shut, and locked, the back of the door having several locks upon it, some of which appeared to be rather new. "What... what are you asking over... ? What have you been told?" As she spoke, she motioned toward one of the chairs near a small table in a corner of the room, keeping her back toward the wall, and front toward Aiko.
~~~ Stables ~~~
(Eris, Tavish)
(Eris, Tavish)
The shack out back of the brothel, which Tavish had noted before when he looked around, had everything he needed for a makeshift sign. It takes some convincing of the stablemaster for Tavish to be allowed to take out one of the bigger animals, however given part that convincing was to tell him what he needed it for, well, the man is a little more receptive to the idea. Even still, it cost Tavish a little time, or a little bit of coin, and the man kept with them to make sure he wasn't running off with the animal.
He was one of the few observers, short of the man at the clinic peering out the window as well, being those who really saw Eris marching across town in the buff toward the stables.
"Wait, is'she gon'na?" the stablemaster slurs his words as he watched Tavish work, both with Eris, and the animal. A dour expression crossing his face, Tavish's words clearly don't speak to him very much, and he started back into the stable. "Ain't notta doin' with this. I seeya run'nin off I'll call the guard fore' someone else does."
Possibily indicating that such an example in the streets might end up with the guard coming out, but for now, it seemed, either Tavish's words died on the wind or there were none around who were interested. Behond Eris, of course, whose shouting didn't summon anyone yet either... but that probably would change shortly.
