"no one is as noble as they seem." Kayleh said a little bitterness touched her voice but it was gone the next second. "Here we are eggs and bit of salted pork." She placed plate infront of him. "Anyone who was going to kill without questions asked can't be very good, can they?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pan nodded and the started down the hall way. He looked back and waited for the man. It was annoying to have to try and communicate with this human without being able to speak to it, but he needed his facade.

Nowe's eyes lowered, "I was like that till not long ago. It was what we had to do. Our commander was the judge and jury, we were the ones with the blood on our hands. To go against the commander well... you see what's happening to me now. I'm at the mercy of the rest of the knights, even though most of them are my friends."

"I knew people like that once" Kayleh said. But she said no more on the subject as she ate her own breakfast. It hit home, what Nowe said. She could still see the blood though it had been ten years ago. No one had explained. They had just spilled his blood all over the dinner table. Kayleh shuddered. She tried not to think about the past too much, but sometimes it just crept up on her.

The cat wanted him to follow it. Skygge realised that. He thought for a moment, then followed the cat.

Pan smiled, or at least smiled for a cat. Either way he looked pleased with himself as went down the stairs to the kitchen. Being a cat he had excellent hearing and had heard, Kayleh go downstairs.
Kayleh was staring at the food on her plate, barely eating. Thus she didn't notice the man in black or pan. Or the fact that Pan now motioned with his paw between Kayleh and the man in black. Pan hoped that the human's intelligence would hold out long enough for him to understand.

Skygge frowned. The cat seemed as if it wanted her to be with him. Why, he could not fathom. Unless...She did say she could communicate with animals...perhaps she told this cat what I said...but then, why would it want her to go with me, of all people?

Nowe stayed quiet as he ate the food infront of him. once all the food was gone he stood, "I've lingered here too long I must get on my way. Thanks for the hospitality." He stood and turned to the door, seeing the Man in black and the cat. I stopped in his tracks as he faced them, looking mainly at the man in black. The cat was one thing, but after what he saw the man in black do the night before he had hoped he wouldn't have to see him again.

Pan thought the man understood or at least hoped he did. The problem was that if Kayleh went on her own, which had been considered, she would have been easily killed before she got there. Pan need her whole and healthy. So a companion or guard was needed. Which was why they had waited so long. Kayleh lifted her eyes briefly and then did a double take nearly knocking her food on the floor.
"Oh, i didn't see you come in" Kayleh said quickly. "Good morning, did you fancy an early breakfast?" she asked. She was quite surprised to see the man in black, the one on whom her hopes rested, standing in the kitchen, especially with her cat.
Pan padded over to her and hopped up on the table where Nowe was having his breakfast. He sat down and glared at Nowe, still not trusting him. Though he did give Kayleh a quizical look at her outfit.
"Leave him alone, Pan. He didn't watch me change." she said.

Skygge nodded to the boy from last night and to Kayleh. "No thank you," he replied. "Your cat here wanted me to follow him," he said simply. "He seemed insistant on it.

Nowe glared back at the cat, then started to put the plate armor back on over his arms. Once it was on he turned to Kayleh, "I must go before the Knights return. I cannot stay any longer." He walked past the man in black and out of the inn to where they had lead his mare the night before. "Come on girl." he muttered getting her Saddle and Reins from the selves nearby. "We have to get out of here before there's any more trouble."

"Pan" Kayleh snapped at the tabby. But the cat looked pleased with himself. She was so mad, now if Nowe left and the man in black refused to take her along, she would be left to go it alone. With a sigh, she shooed him off the table.
"Its probably his way of asking you to take me with you on your journey. We were up last night discussing it."

Skygge looked at her for a moment, then to the cat. Can she really communicate with the animal? That aside, it was obvious she was still hung up on trying to go with him. "Why is it that you are so insistant on traveling to Thalaria?"

It was the question Kayleh had been dreading, but now that the time had come she wondered if she should tell him the truth or not. She didn't even know the man's name. Nowe would be leaving any moment and her back up plan would fall through. Kayleh looked at the man in black trying to decide how much she was comfortable with talking about.
"I lost my family, my way of life when I was very young." She said quietly her voice clearly torn on wheather to go on. " My mother spoke of Thalaria often in the stories she told.... she told me that all great paths lead there someday... After she died I swore I'd make it there someday." Kayleh refused to say any more. Aside from Pan that was the most she had ever told anybody about her life before the Inn.

Skygge was silent. He thought carefully about it for a while. "I can not guarantee your safety on this journey," he said after a while.

"I didn't ask for one" Kayleh said quickly her hopes raising by the second. "So you'll take me with you then?"
Pan's ears twitched as he listened for the man in black's response.
