It was irritating, the way sodden clothing clung to your skin, making movement feel slimey and wretched. The armored form, shook her cape out from her again, in hopes it would make less contact with her body.
Old, humorless eyes surveyed the street. Dirty, dingy, run down little hovels on each side. The poorest section of town, the mud street was about as delightful as a swamp.
For all her logic, she could not figure out why that blasted prissy bitch Amana had chosen this spot to meet. Then to top that off, the shemale wasn't even to be seen. This just reinforced Anat's wish to get her gauntleted fists around that black neck.
"What are you doing skulking about in the streets?" a voice said with an edge of disdain. "It's raining if you hadn't noticed."
The scar faced elf turned to see the leering male form of Amana, leaning against the door frame of a rather tidy and warm looking house.
"Get a move on, we have many things to discuss, and I can't wait about for you all day, charming thing that you are."
The elf caught the jibe here, and made the connection that the priest's voice was much like a cat's paw, very silky, but concealing claws eager to get out.

Elan nodded. Now it was time to tell his tale. He ran his delicate black fingers over the antique bindings of his book, and formulated his words, trying to find the best way to phrase his thoughts, what he had heard, and what was distressing him.
"Some of you know my sister. Others do not but have probably heard rumors about her. I would like to state that my sister is very misquided, I'll give you that. And, most of the time she can be rather wicked and naughty. But that can be marked down to job enthusiasm. I've left this alone, because I have always felt there was good in her...somewhere. But I think I may have stumbled upon something, rather big, something that cannot be ignored.
I went to go visit her at the tower, about a week back. The animals in the garden do not bother me, so i was allowed entrance. However, it seemed I happened in on a ........conversation of sorts. They didn't really... um... see me you see, and I got curious..."
Elan looked downward and circled a finger round and round nervously, not wanting to admit he had been doing something as base as eavesdropping.
"I...well...usually that crazy man of hers intercepts me, but, well he must have been down in his lab. So, I listened in, and I could see a little... She was talking with this girl I've seen her with a few times. A little black mage in training. Amana's been real friendly with her, quite unusual since until then, she hadn't been getting anything out of it. But, they began talking about a plan, and how Amana was finally setting up a "paradise". Knowing my sisters standards, this made me... well... even more deathly curious. But then... Amana did something, really strange...
She had the girl change into one of her old silk robes and follow her upstairs."
Elan coughed at this point and flicked his eyes nervously at the ceiling, it was horribly embarrassing admitting to snooping so badly. His face, especially his cheeks and ears turned a darker shade, if that was possible, and he seemed to stall for a moment.
