((Sorry work has been destroying me.))

Bennett will nod to Hatt, "I think you should spend time with your family alone. Maybe it'd be best if we all split for a day or two. Get some rest in. Meet back at the inn on Thursday at noon?"

Bennett will just spend his time relaxing. Visiting a brothel, reading a couple books. Maybe watching the soldiers train, if he is able to.

@ Golden Spoon

After a moment of speaking with the help, a waiter enters the room pushing a cart with two dishes atop it. "For our guests, the dinner for tonight is seared spotted shark steak. Caught in the amazonian waters, kept alive on a strict diet of cattle, and prepared by our team of elite chefs. I'd reccommend a glass of silver wine vintage 740 to go along with it. We have also prepared a light dessert afterwards if the guests want one."

@ Hatt

As you approach the familiar confining walls, the guards there give you looks but stop as they spot your collar. But some caught criminals try to point you out, spouting lies about you doing a crime, proclaiming their innocence. The guards don't believe it, a look at your collar confirms their lies as they continue taking them away. You walk away from it, on a path that is somehow still fresh on your mind. Or perhaps its how the collar grows warmer as you come closer to the commander's office. How it feels unbearable once you stand before the doors. A creeping feeling in your mind as it turns unnervingly quiet in the barracks, no yelling, no marching, just silence.

Ashley undresses down to her smallclothes and outs on an oversized and comfortable shirt she reserves for sleeping in.  I see it as a revenge thing. It tried to eat you, so we eat it. Ashley smiles warmly at her own joke as she sits on the bed. She lays back to rest her eyes. Promise me this. No more boat rides please. Before Crispy can answer, Ashley is asleep. Finally able to get some rest after 3 weeks of sailing.

OOC: Pretty sure that @Hatt part was supposed to be addressed to Gasp? 

Gasp pushes past the jeers and accusations of the prisoners. He tried not to let it bother him. He tried to be stoic. Still, he flinched at some shouts and his feathers riled up. Those shouts always did get to him, and they probably always will. The bird shrinks some under the gaze of the guards. Gasp is just as much a prisoner as the other inmates. They just don't notice or care. Gasp's prison bars are unseen, but just as iron clad.

He reaches the command post in the barracks. The silence is eerie. It is quiet, but far from calm. It's like someone holding their breath in anticipation as he stands before the doors. He raises a clawed hand up to knock, but freezes. His hand shakes. Gasp has no reason to be afraid, right? He's doing his job. He's done nothing wrong, right? Yet here he is, just as scared as the very first day. Just as nervous as the day his old life died giving birth to a slave. Gasp swallows hard and knocks on the door.

(Sorry was half asleep there. And yes, it was meant to be Gasp.)

( are we on the next morning ?)

Also, can we level up? I feel like we've been this level for over a year.

(Not yet, have to complete a mission first. And sorry for delays finally caught up on my sleep after being up for two days.)

@ Gasp

(Will do a PM Convo.)

@ Bennett

(Roll a Persuasion or Decepation check. Will determine how much you got charged.)

@ Tavern

The tavern is busy as usual, with parties of adventurers, fledglings and veterans alike flocking to the board. Notices are taken by many while more are put up by the brother-sister duo tacking them on. A few are left on there as it seems to daunting or too easy. 

(Can check for more or ask the siblings for interesting ones.)

Bennett's Deception: 18

Assuming these are the notices that are on the board after we all enjoy our couple days away from each other, Bennett will grab the "Exploring Ruins" one.

"I think this would be quite a bit of fun, and it pays more than the others. What do you guys think?"

(Cough. Nat20. Cough)

That was a Deception check. He wanted a Decepation check. So, It doesn't count.

Ashley wakes up early in the morning, her stomach complaining with hunger. She looks over to a sleeping Cora. She smells fresh, She must have already finished her morning exercises

Ashley quietly gets dressed in her finest and cleanest traveling clothes, kisses a sleeping Cora on the forehead, and leaves the room in search for breakfast. She plans on eating and returning to Crispy before going to find the boys who are hopefully somewhere near the job board.

(Okay, I'm more surprised that the spell check didn't catch that.)

Gasp manages to find his way back after a night out. Only now does he come back to the Inn.The bird just trudges in and slumps down at a table if available and gives a long, slow sigh. His feathers are somewhat ruffled and matted in areas and, despite his dark colors, they don't appear as vibrant as normal. 

Bennett, says Hatt, we literally have more money than we can carry.  Literally.  Or are you forgetting our account with the Bank of Karra. 

(I assume Karra is off practising his trade with his guild elsewhere in the city?)

I don't mind taking any job, and exploring ruins looks fun.  Educational too, no doubt.  To be honest, I'd rather help the butcher find his son, wouldn't you?  What does everyone think?

"I'd rather help the butcher find his son" Gasp mimics from his table.

"My dear Hatt, money runs out doesn't it?" He whispers, so no one around hears, "Seven some-odd thousand doesn't last long. Especially if you grew up without money." He nods to Hatt, "I wouldn't mind finding the butcher's son. Never hurts to stack good karma." He chuckles.

After the couple days rest, Bennett has a pep in his step and looks energized.

Crispy got up very early and did indeed have her morning run and workout routine, careful not to wake her gorgeous wife. She cleaned up and slipped back into bed, and fell back asleep. She was so deeply asleep when Ashley woke up, she didn't even feel the kiss on her forehead. 

(Karra will be at his guild.)

After a couple hours, Ashley returns to her room with a tray of hot breakfast foods. Seeing Crispy still asleep, she pulls the covers off and opens the curtains to let the light in Come on Sleepy head. Time to get ready to go meet the boys and see if they have dug up anything fun

Crispy startles as Ashley rips the covers off her half naked, perfectly toned, and awe inspiring physique and sleepily glares at whoever would do such a suicidal thing.

"*****, you cray cray? I haven't slept this good in months.." she smiled, lazily. She then saw the tray of food, sitting up. "Oh, i'm sorry, did I call you a *****? I meant gorgeous sex toy."

She proceeds to eat, and dress up in something a bit casual that day, like a tight t-shirt and tight casual slacks with a belt.  

"Alright, lets see what those d o u c h e pebbles have come up with.." she sighed, "Can't we just retire and move away someplace far and make love all day?" she said, partially serious.
