Hanzo was closing in on the house, peering upon the large house in amazement. He observed the door, than the rest of the house. "If I'd knock, it'd be a hassle for someone to answer." *He peered up again, spotting a balcony.* "That'd do.." *He leapt into the air, perching upon the balcony like a stone decoration.. a.. gargoyle. He peered in the door, spotting a moving silohuette, by the curvy figure, apparently it was a woman. He leapt up on the roof until she was out of sight. He lowered down, hanging upside down from the tiling like a bat, knocking on the door, leaping behind her as she emerged.


He tapped her on her shoulder, withdrawing back further as she reacted with a dagger closing near his heart, almost as fast as he could move. "What do you want?" *She hissed.*


"I was wondering if I could stay in your residence for a night or two, nothing serious.. my child.. just needs an apporpiate place to rest. I have money.. err.." *He dug in a pocket, tossing a bag filled with gold coins.* "Well..?" *He waited for her response.*

"Hanzo. How nice to see you again." Alysia regarded the bag of coins as it hit the cold stones at her feet. Her expression was a combination of mistrust and disgust, colored with a hint of bemusement. Her Li'Ved dagger was quickly re-sheathed, the rising phoenix crest hidden beneath her fingertips.

"This is not a boarding house or a waystation for wayward travelers. If it is lodging you seek, the Red Dragon Inn might serve your purposes better." She smirked and kicked the bag of coins back toward him. Her crimson eyes glittered. "And you might be safer there."

The priestess stepped back into her looming shadow, an unbalanced swath of darkness cast by prisms of magelight overhead. "However. . . your child? I'm curious about the child. You may consider yourself and this child my guests, for the time being."

Alysia glanced back over her shoulder, up toward the double, gently curving sets of stairs. "There are suitable guest quarters on the second floor, " she said. After a moment, she added, "I'm sure my cook will be pleased to prepare meals for someone with . . . normal tastes."

*As she proceeded to walk, he made funny faces at her, stifling a chuckle before retrieving his coins.* "I am endebted to you, I will try not to be a nuisance.. or let my child out of my sight.. for his sake."

*He waited until she walked a little further ahead, for the first time in his life, he never felt fear at such a magnitude. Silently, he ascended the rolling staircase, fearing Alysia would strike him down at the smallest annoyance. He turned a knob, revealing a rather quaint room, for it being in this dreaded, evil manor. He spun on his heel and closed the door again.*

"Too.." *He abandoned it, having no word for it's feel. He turned to another room, opening it and walked in. There was no light, only a window which gave only a glimmer of visual aid. He proceeded to the bed and put his child to rest, tucking him in the bed. He turned, his slits pupils absorbing as much light as possible, finding a book case dusted with cobwebs and other small particles.*


"This room is a lot better.. has more serenity than the other room, ironically." *He dusted off a book, the title reading 'Kama Sutra'. He gazed in shock, shaking his head viciously.* "She must not know what this book is.." *He snickered.* "She's beautiful, but I bet she instills fear even into the bravest of souls." *He continued to dust books and look for a suitable encrypted lullaby, before finally striking a book on the 'Mechanics of time and space; how to roam the many dimensions.' He sat in a chair, reading it with the dim light provided, unbuckling his blade and placing it on a night stand before quietly falling asleep.*

I am endebted to you, I will try not to be a nuisance.. or let my child out of my sight.. for his sake.

Alysia shrugged, expressing careless nonchalance. As if I would harm an innocent, she thought. Hanzo peeked into one room, then another, searching for something appropriate.

With a brooding chuckle, she continued toward her own chambers, shut the doors firmly, seated herself at a desk to write.

Hanzo awoken in the morning, refreshed and full of energy. He removed his child, grasping him by the ankle. He made the bed, and walked out the room, eyes rapidly changing colors before turning back to blue.


He searched for Alysia, turning down a hall way before sensing a prescence, distinctly not human. He knocked gently on the door, standing back, giving her room to stand.


"I hope she is appropiately dressed, he does not need to be exposed at such an age." *He glanced to the squirming child, giggling as the shirt fell over his face. "Excuse me, A.. Ms. Alysia, do you have a running water facility in which I may bathe? Or must I go embrace the cold lake?" *He glanced down to the all black silk clothes he had in his travel satchel, contrary to the cream and white he had on now.*

Alysia opened her door a crack and peered blearily at her guest and his giggling, squirming child. Behind her, the room was dark, with daylight blocked out by heavy curtains. It took her a few moments to recognize the pair. As Hanzo spoke, she stared at the cream and white he wore, finding it a bizarre contrast to what she thought he should be wearing.

She was garbed from throat to ankle in something that resembeled black silken pajamas with a mandarin collar, white-gold hair pulled over her shoulder and bound in a braid. Her feet were bare. Alysia ran her hands over her face, trying to wake up.

"It's early," she muttered. Her voice was a hoarse echo of the usual silken contralto, and she cleared her throat and leaned through the door a bit farther. "Let me amend that -- it's an ungodly hour."

"If one took the waters of the Lake, one might find them warmer than expected. However, there is a bathing chamber across the hall from the room you slept in." She raised a small, pale hand and pointed in that direction.

Thank you, ma'am. I think the night I have spent here greatly rejuvinated my energy, I will be out of your hair as soon as I wash up. *The child had calmed down, was now silent, steel gray eyes peered into hers, rivaling in annoyance, even, having a fierce quality.


Hanzo retrieved the black replica of his current outfit and made his bathe as quick as possible, feeling as if he just worn out his welcome, his uninvited welcome, we he had awoken the priestess. He also quickly washed his child, stoic in attitude, not really doing much besides breathing. He wrapped his child in a deep, blue dyed wool cloth, before washing out the tub and leaping off into the horizon, back to Rhy'Din for a quick visit to the Inn and supplies for his mission.
