You hear a 'tree' nearby whisper "should I blast her Misq?"

Kora to Kash in his head << Shut it! >>

Kora to LT in her head << Orders, LT? >> LT can respond.

She responds to Kora, "Well, maybe she is friendly? Of not, we will retreat to the defenses of the cave."

"Hello," a voice from the trees calls out to Aria, "We are heavily armed and you are severely outnumbered. If you wish to parlay, then we shall; but if you make one move against us you will be struck down before you can think twice!"

Aria's hand doesn't move from her bow, still nocked. Her eyes continue to sweep the trees. "I just want to talk. I'm looking for a mercenary company that goes by the name of Greywind."

Sylrie's eyes darted to the LT's position, how did this person find us? 'We haven't even used our Mercenary persona's yet'

He put his hand on his bow, wanting to be ready if this went south.

To Sylrie, then to LT in their heads << Maybe she's from the shifter? >>

Percival looks towards Kora and mouths 'Should we ask her who she is?'

Aria waits for the unseen people to decide what to do with practiced patience, occasionally murmuring to Sivi in Sylvan to calm down the screeching monkey. Her hands never leave her readied bow.

Kash puts down his branches and steps forward in all his scary monster glory

"And who might you be love? Out 'ere alone wit yer fancy horse... roads not safe to travel alone.   Perhaps ye can keep my mates and I fed tonight...." and he'll chuckle evilly and snort out his snoot.

Percival sighs as Kash does his monster act.

Aria lays a hand on Feather to calm the pegasus should she start and eyes the minotaur calmly, not seeming particularly frightened. "Lady Aria d'Vadalis, and I've been traveling and working in the Reaches for over seven years, love. An angry ent is a lot scarier than you. Especially when there's a whole grove of them."

Kash makes ooh la la motions at the mention of her title and then laughs boisterously.

Sylrie nods his head either way, she was calm, and so far seemingly alone. She didn't shoot Kash, which was good, and her words painted her as being traveled and experienced. She could have flown away were it not what she was expecting, and she did say their name. 

Sylrie let the breath he'd been unconsciously holding since the whole conversation started go slowly as he stepped from his own poor hiding position. As he addressed Aria he once again felt self conscious about his garb, he felt a bit under dressed without his Aundairan Uniform. His mind went back to a memory aboard the ship, Isuzu had kissed him just after he changed into these clothes. She had said it was a way for them to become more familiar, so that no one suspected they were undercover. Now she was gone...

"Well well, Lady Aria, out for a stroll looking for a Greywind are ya?" Sylrie stepped forward and leaned against a tree lazily. He picked at his teeth as if he'd just eaten, his deep green eyes danced over the fantastic beast she road, and was that a winged monkey? The reaches were indeed a strange place. "What business have ya with the Mercenaries of Greywind?"

Kora will stay hidden.

Percival sighs again when he hears the mystery woman introduce herself as Lady Aria d'Vadalis. He now particularly hoped that his disguise would hold up out here, since he didn't want to be recognized by someone who was a fellow noble. Nobles did have a standard to live up to, and Percival wasn't exactly living to that standard while going undercover as a merc. Sure, Sylrie was also a noble, but he was also one of the company and right in the muck with him. And there was also the matter of the mission too.

He saunters out along with Sylrie. No point in staying back now. His hand is resting lazily on the hilt of his rapier. "What 'e said. What's a Lady like you doin' in a place like this?"

Aria's eyes neatly categorize each person. "Well, that's business between House Vadalis and Greywind, now isn't it? And as for your question, I've spent years here. My title only means I've manifested a dragonmark, not that I'm some powdered noble who spends all their time in a high castle. The House's business sends one all over." She shrugs, seemingly regretful. "But of course, unless you are Greywind, I'm afraid I can't disclose much more...House confidentiality and all." Her tone implies that she just might know - or at least suspect - the answer to her unspoken question.

"Perhaps ye are better off talking wit da Boss...." and he will turn around and shout "Hey Boss....." then turn back around with Buttons in his hand where he does a horrible ventriloquism impression in a high falsetto voice and says "Yah? I am Reginald Mercenario Greywind of House D'oesntmatter....you were asking about me?"

and then he'll laugh out loud again

[Performance: 22]

Kora has to stifle a laugh at that. Nice performance. She is waiting on orders, not wanting to give up her hidden advantage without them.

Aria raises an eyebrow at the impressive performance, deciding to play one of her cards. Hopefully this will get them to drop the act without giving it away in case they aren't Greywind... "Actually," she says calmly, "I was rather hoping to speak to Dot. Or Misq."

The LT is a little taken back by her proclamation of looking for their unit, but not to the shock of hearing her and Sarge's name. 

"Uh, Dot..." Sarge says over to the LT. She nods her head at Sarge and he walks forward. 

"I'm Misq, Lady d'Vadalis. And what, might I ask ye, are ye doing out here in the middle of nothing looking fer me?"  With his hand on his weapon, he walks close to Aria, within ten (10) feet. "And are ye alone?"
