Larissa became confused again, but this time, she was in a better mood to listen, "Who hired you anyway? And why?"
Larissa recalled Skye saying something about her parents, but she wanted to hear for certain the entire truth.

The archer flicked a long bang out of her face. "Well I was eating at a pub and overheard a dirty looking group of mercenaries of in the corner. They were talking about earning a huge reward for killing two famous criminals, a man and a woman. They also said that the daughter of these masterminds was somewhere in the city and thought that her assassination would possibly lure the criminals to them. Before I realized it, one of them had called me over and offered me a simple job for large pay." She tilted her head slightly to the side. "Apparently he had seen me practicing with my bow not too far away from this town. At first I was skeptical but they explained it, and I agreed...at that time. When I saw you, you were nothing like what I thought so I felt well...guilty about trying to kill you. I missed on purpose." She crossed her arms defiantly.
Well...maybe not on purpose. And since when do I spill my guts to someone?

Larissa looked away, almost as though she had been insulted, "My parents..." She looked up with a fierce glare, "Were not criminals! They're dead..."
She looked away, "Thank you for missing. Even if it wasn't on purpose."
Larissa started walking away, in the direction the two had come from. She was covered in dirt and bruises, but she was determined to find out the truth.
That's when she wondered if Skye would follow.

"Um..." Skye shifted her feet as she watched Larissa walk away. Well....its not like I have anything better to do.
The arched sprinted to the mages side and shyly twisted her hands behind her back. "Would you mind...if I traveled with you for a while? I'm a traveler so it wouldn't be bothersome for me. Never thought I would be one to ask this but I haven't had company in a while.

Larissa looked with a joyful-surprised look at Skye, "Really? Don't you have anything like...More important to do? I mean...The journey I'm on doesn't even have to do with you."
Then she smiled evilly, "But I think you SHOULD come. As payback for trying to kill me, I suppose having you around with me will be a satisfactory payment."

Skye's eye twitched twice at the evil smile Larissa was giving her. Weird... "I suppose your right. I do have to pay you back for that somehow." She straightened her shirt and looked around uncertainly.
"So...where to first?"

Larissa thought for a moment.
She hadn't taken that into account, where she would be heading. It seemed all she knew of her parents had been lies and she was still a bit confused. That's when she recalled her father was 1/2 Sacaen. There must have been relatives or someone who knew her father, maybe even her mother well from Sacae.
"How about...Sacae?" She said this slowly, angry at herself for even thinking to go to Sacae. She disliked the place since it was possibly the homeland of the men who destroyed her family.

"I have no problem with that. Sacae it is!" Skye smiled brightly and shifted her shoulder pad strap. She had a feeling this was going to be a whole new adventure, just as exciting as her previous ones.
I can't help but feel that Larissa is more reluctant about this then she looks.
