Gulak whispered under his breat, because he knew who they where.
prisoners...
He moved back up at the door, and shouted.
"How did you get here?"

P2 "Heh. Through the door."
The man said with amused sarcasm. It was followed by a faint sound of laughter from one of the others.

Many hours have passed. Most in silence broken by just the sound of something wt dripping on to stone somewhere. After some bored attempts at Gaol Jokes the other people fell silent. It is dark outside but the little barred gap in the door lets in enogh torchlight for Gulak to be able to see enough around him not to randomly walk in to walls.
Suddenly there is footsteps in the passageway outside and they stop outside Gulak's door. Keys rattle and the locks and bolts come undone. The door opens and the big sweaty man is there looking slightly less bored than before. He eyes Gulak head to toe twice and shakes his head as if there was something he couldn't understand and then he gestures towards him.
"A'igh', 'ere 'e is, mam." He steps aside a little and another figure can be seen behind him. It is cloaked and with the hood up and head bent slightly Gulak can see nothing more than the slightly slender frame of a person, and the deep red cloak.

Gulak was positioned on the straw matras, leaning lazy against the wall and cleaning his nails. When the door opened, he got up almost naturally, but still, he remained silent, as he had after the silly comment of the prisoner.
As the woman stepped into the room, he eyed her slowly. It wasn't hard for him, he could see easely in this low lit room, though that fact had been very disturbing considering the vermit. She came oddly familiar to him, but he couldn't really place her. After a few moments, he smiled friendly, and bowed before her.
"Welcome in my humble room, m'lady."

The woman stepped forwards in to the cell and looked over her shoulder at the big guard. He grunted and shook his head again, scratching his scalp as he shoved the door shut again, throwing one bolt only across it.
She looked up at him and some of her face could be made out as the hood fell back just a little. Her features were umistakeably Elven, sharp ears, deep green eyes and fair skin with raven black hair. She gave him a serious look.
[Elven]"Your little display at the Gate was most terribly foolish..."
She took another step in to the cell, clearing the door she had been almost up flush against.
[Elven]"...or proud." She gave him a curious look, almost approving. "You rarely see anyone daring to take a stand against Them these days."

Gulak nodded happely, but slowly. It was the first time he actually felt a little proud of his act. Whatever they did, the guards did break his pride in some way.
[Elven]"I'll take that as a compliment... thank you."
Her serious look almost automaticly made him look back seriously. He casted his gaze down to follow a rat that walked past his feet, and looked up again, as he smiled momentarely, almost silly.
[Elven]"to what do I owe your visit, sister?"

She glances at the rat but doesn't flinch but just returns her gaze to him.
[Elven]"I could do with your spirit. That is, if you feel up to taking Them on with something a bit more... potent, than a carrot." She gave a slight smile but it wasn't mocking.

Gulak nodded softly. Till that moment, he blamed himself for his current position, but suddenly, the plee for revenge came up in his head one more time.
[Elven]"Interesting.... My current position seems to hold me from any act of revenge, though...
Strangely, he smiled. He always smiled at faith, but this time it was of the words passing his tongue. Somehow, he could pick his words better in elvish, then in the tongue that strangely heared to the name 'common'. He walked slowly to the wall, plucking his chin while thinking. Then, he turned back to the woman, while leaning against the wall.
[elven]"Unless you know a way out, that is."

The woman smiled a little more with one corner of her mouth at his words.
[Elven]"Don't worry about that."
She straightened up a little, looking slightly more serious again.
[Elven]"Well?"

Gulak nodded slightly, plucking his chin again, thinking. He then smiled at the woman, and stepped away from the wall, while bowing deeply.
[Elven]"It would be my pleasure."

The woman gave another slight smile at the bow.
[Elven]"No need to bow, Gulak. I am no Noble." Her voice was to-the-point but kind.
She took a few steps, as if she began to walk about the room but it was not big enough for her to walk much.
[Elven]"You will need to be discreet. None of this rash foolishness. He can end you with little trouble should he wish to and you were lucky to be arrested today. Had the guards not been there... you would most likely not be alive now. To find and follow him without endangering yourself will require you to keep a level head. To unnerve him, foil his plans and have him lose his Mark, his Target... " She eyed him over again "...will require some serious cunning on your part."

Gulak smiled at his bend over position, and moved up from his gracious bow, to turn back to the woman.
[Elven]"Well, cunning shouldn't be too hard, I'd do my best..."
He looked around slightly, almost if he was checking if someone was looking.
[Elven]"...but I'd like some more infromation. For instance, why are you after him, who is he anyway? And more important..."
With a most sharp turn he fixed his gaze with a serious look back at the elf.
[Elven]"Who are you?"

There doesn't seem to be anyone looking apart from a rather bored and hungry rat. ( ) The passage outside is silent and to make himself heard to the other prisoners before Gulak had to raise his voice considerably. The woman nodded gently a couple of times, his questions possibly understandable or at least expected, though one of them caused her a slight frown. [Elven] "I am a bit surprised you don't know who you attacked. I assumed you did...
His name is Irivion Tornaith. He is one of the Blood Sworn of the Silent Daggers. I wouldn't say he is the highest of their ranks by any means but he is in that circle nonetheless."She stopped and met his eyes. [Elven] "He killed my Mother." She held her head proudly.

Gulak looked as his eyes where penetrated by hers, and his sympathy was clearly betrayed by his amazed-kid face.
[Elven]"I didn't expect less from him, sure as the Abyss I don't."
After that, he started to get nervous, and almost, he walked to the door, looking at her over his shoulder.
[Elven]"Well, where are we waiting for? My blade is hungry for blood."

The woman's face fell a bit more stern.
[Elven]"I did not come to you to have him killed, Gulak."
She scoffed slightly.
[Elven]"If that was my wish I would have gone elsewhere, or even done it myself. I want him destroyed."
Her eyes narrowed as she spoke the last word.
[Elven]"His reputation. His place in The Silent Daggers..."
She looked at the door and seemed to calm a bit.
[Elven]"As for your blade, such things have a way of 'disappearing' in these places."
