He closed his eyes and pulled off his cloak, revealing a menagerie of blades hanging from the topmost folds. Very carefully he rolled the blades and cloak into a tight bundle and casually tossed it to her, holding his arms up to show he had no more weapons. His blackened armor reflected no light, save for the feint blue inscriptions that littered it's smooth surfaces. He unraveled a second, darker cloak and wrapped it around himself, pulling the hood over his eyes and tightening his mask, he stood waiting

"Thank you" She said "Now don't mistake this for anything other than professionalism please, but i have to check for any concealed weapons, and again, please don't try anything" She said, stepping forward carefully

He sighed and stood still "I'd be surprised if you didn't ... and trust me, you don't catch my attention in any other way than professionally" He twitched slightly and his armor hung more loosely "take your time, it's not like I'm hiding anything" he murmured

"Hmm" She said, checking him carefully, and pulling a knife out from his boots "Nothing to hide eh?" She said suspiciously, "And what are these strings on your neck attatched to?" She asked stepping back catiously

He shrugged "I don't use it often so i forget about that ..." He hooked his fingers under the golden strands around his neck and pulled out a hollow silver pentagram, a small phial filled with clear liquid and a small blue and gold tome no bigger than his hand, "You mean these ... keepsakes really, nothing dangerous" he held them up for her to see, but close enough for him to stuff back under his armor

conall's arm had healed fine, and he was moving the fingers again. knowing he'd be unable to help Sophena or capture the theif, he moved along the tree line till he got back to the edge of the city. not seeing the two, he hopped to the roof and found the note and money. "going to need my horse back anyway," he muttered to himself.
jumping to the ground, he went to the person who had bought the horses, and bought them back, cheaper for what they were sold for. a minor perk of being a demon, normal people were intimidated into making you happy, even if you weren't trying. leading the horses, he waited for Sophena to come. as he waited, he wondered how the thief had known him. sure, many people would hear rumors about a demon wandering around, free. but this thief seemed to know more then he let on. he'd have to see if Sophena would let him ask, if he came back.

"I'm oblidged to ask; What's in the phial and the book, and also, i do hope that that Pentagram has nothing to do with anything untoward?" She asked cautiously, still ready to react to any new devolpments.

He narrowed his eyes for a second then nodded solemnly "of course, the phial is filled with water from ..." He paused and stared at the phial for a moment before continuing as if nothing happened "A very special place that is dear to me. And the pentagram is merely a token of my sister." He began to place the items back under his armor, but stopped when he came to the small book; "oh, I almost forgot this. My tutor gave it to me before I left the academy. He never told me what it was, only that I'd know when I was ready. I haven't been able to open it, nor will i permit anyone else to try" He stuffed them under his chest plates and cinched his armor tight, turning with his arms clasped behind his back so she could see them "Now, you're so eager to take me to your 'principle' so shall we? Of course I'd prefer to remain unbound, but I don't think you'll take my word very highly so do as you must and get this over with quickly will you?"

"If you remain this co-operative, I'm sure it will be swiftly resolved" She said, tying his hands behind his back; her great strength and precision were equally evident; she tied the ropes so that no-one short of herself could conventionally break free, but made it so that it would not restrict circulation or cause too much uneccessary discomfort; he had, after all, surrendered without too much trouble. She stood behind him, keeping her sword by her side, ready to react; "Now we're going to go back to the village; follow my directions and please, as I've said, DON'T try anything" She said directing him towards where Conall was waiting.

He simply nodded and began to walk at a relatively leisurely pace, shaking his head slightly so his ears emerged from the slits in his hood. Inside he was fuming at the fact the 'sharp' made him help the empire without his knowledge.
And here I thought they were favors for her, last time I trust a human that's for sure.

conall noticed sophena approaching, with her, the theif. his eyes narrowed, not liking the man immdetly. "i have retrieved the horses," he told her starting to walk along side her, the horses on his other side. "did you get everything you wanted, or is there some other reason you're bringing this ban back," he asked, his voice low.

"Ah, Thank you for retrieving the horses; That will save us some valuable time" She smiled, still keeping watch on her prisoner; "As for him, I'm sure that My Mistress and the others would like to talk to him; and then he may even be able to help us"

He glanced sidelong at Conall as they conversed and gave a slight chuckle at his attempt to keep quiet. Still he didn't quite hear what was said thanks to the demons rough accent and the fact he was preoccupied with finding out how his bindings where tied, subtly of course and for future reference. He glanced again and noticed the horses, wondering how much Conall had got them back for, after all the fence he sold them to was well known for his extortionate prices. He decided to keep quiet and just carry on following their lead, and tracing the ropes with his fingertips.

"very well, but i'm not taking my eyes off him," he said. "and i'll give you his left over change. i managed to get a good deal on our horses, it helped that the seller waned me gone, and he'd do whatever he could to get the scary demon away," he said, emphasizing the demon part. "though, i do want to ask him my own questions. like how he knows who i am. when we met in the forest, he said something about knowing me, i'd like that clerified."

"Of course..." Said Sophena "Feel free to ask him anything you like, once we're back into the town and out of the open; I don't like that he was following us and with the rate tonight is going; I expect something else to get in the way" She sighed, leading the way, but from time to time carefully checking her prisoner's actions as they walked.
