Xiras reads the scroll, the paper crumbles in his hands and a bat appears in a shadowy burst of mana. He climbs upon its back, then sharply digs his heel into the bat side.
The bat soars upwards rapidly then circles new endgar once before heading in the direction of estark.

Smile your day could be worse, so I did smile and it was worse.
Xiras records the final moments of Nelds life as the life ebbs out of him and onto the floor, he then leaves at Athy's instruction
As he ascends the staircase he shakes his head trying to clear the image of Neld dying from his mind.
Ive killed before but then in such cold blood, the experience is quite haunting not one I shall soon forget
He finds himself in the office, he signs dates and leaves the paper along with the quill on Athy's desk. A thrull stands by ready, Xiras nods at the thrull ready to leave.

The sound of the quill scatching across the page can be heard in the silent patches between Athy speaking, Neld whimpering and sounds of mana been manipulated. This fact was noted on the page directly after the transcription of the conversation.
Interesting erases the mind and forcing the subject to relive your life, Neld will be confronted by what he has done to Athy and forced to face himself through her eyes. A truely magnicent way of turning an enemy to your point of view.
Xiras starts to scribble the details of the first spell, noting the hand gestures and whispers.
Hmm, I shall like a copy of this, it woul be benefical when the time comes that I can manipulate both black and white . . .
The thought snapped off as Neld starts to scream, Xiras quickly scribbles notes including the pitch of the scream, no detailed left unrecorded.

Xiras watches intently as she opens the passage with her mind, magic such a fascinating thing. He accepts the quill and the scroll when hand them and follows Athy silently eager to begin.

"Sometimes as a child I had to play scribe during my father his diplomatic meetings, one time I made the childish folly of interjecting and the meeting took a turn for the worse, needless to say I was reprimanded fairly severly for the action."
He pauses clearing his mind of thoguhts of the past.
"Point is I learned to hold my tongue well and I became a competent scribe, so I should be up to the task of being your dark confident. I'm ready to begin when you are"

Xiras stands and bows back to Faust, impressed with the gesture.
"Well that is a gesture I didn't expect given that I recall you forgetting to introduce yourself just a few days ago. I can honestly say I have enjoyed working you as well and I shall look forward to the day our paths cross again, whether it be a friendly duel in the Estark Arena or a job elsewhere.
I wish you safe travels Faust."
He turns to Kira
"It has great working with you too Kira, look after yourself and I hope to meet again in future"

Xiras gives a slight nod tio Athy then turns to see the others head in.
Xiras slides the two bundles off the table, they fall into his awaiting satchel with a satisfying clink.
"Thank you, I was glad to be of service and there is no need to apologise for the amount the guild provided your hospitality more than makes up for it"
Xiras smiles, then reaches into his satchel to produce two scrolls of spell snare which he places gentlely upon the table.
"As per the terms of the contract we were required to relinquish these if they were unused but perhaps, if you feel dissatisfied with the guilds reward, these scrolls could have been expended in the battle?"
OOC: edited my active character profile to include the extra gold.
He takes the seat on the left and eases himself into it.
Comfortable like everything else in this manor, I wonder if she has questioned Neld yet.
"Athy, forgive me if a step too far, but I have a fascination with other forms of magic and I would be very keen to observe one of your practice sessions on Neld if you would allow it? Figured it best to ask before Kira arrives as she seems sensitive regarding it."

Xiras proceeds to eat as much as he can from the tray, which isn't that much in comparison to the amount available. Clearly no guest goes hungry on these grounds.
I will miss the luxury, we have been presented with on this job
Having had his full, he is eager to complete this job and eager for the coin it will provide, he heads out the door to his room, signalling the nearest thrull.
"I need to see Athy, if she is available"

Quite a set-up in this room, He turns to Neld
He notes the beads of perspiration collected on Neld's brow, and the Ætheral bindings.
At Athy's question he looks up at her, nods silently and then records that transaction upon the parchment
"Sometimes as a child I had to play scribe during my father his diplomatic meetings, one time I made the childish folly of interjecting and the meeting took a turn for the worse, needless to say I was reprimanded fairly severly for the action."

Xiras returns Faust look with a blank stare, then turns to Athy to await her answer.

"Good morning Lady Athy, thank you for the breakfast that I awoke to, it was satisfying" he says with a smile.
I will miss the luxury, we have been presented with on this job
Having had his full, he is eager to complete this job and eager for the coin it will provide, he heads out the door to his room, signalling the nearest thrull.
"I need to see Athy, if she is available"
"That sounds just considering what he done to you both. . . Now if you will excuse me, I will take advantage of your hospitality and rest."
Xiras looks around for a thrull to lead him to the guest rooms once again.
"It would be a pleasure to spend the night once more." he smiles.
The quest is all but over, I wonder how the girls will deal with Neld
Xiras struggles with his curiosity but fails
"If you don't mind me asking, what will become of Neld?"
