Rose tuned out Cara and the woman's conversation easily. It had nothing to do with her, so it really didn't matter if she listened or not. If something important went on, she would find out later. She didn't really care. She was use to being left out of a conversation. It happened all the time back at the temple. She felt a strong twinge of hurt at the unintentional cold shoulder, but she ignored it as best she could. She neede to focus on the task at hand, not her emotions.
A twig suddenly snapped behind Rose, and she pulled out her ageil with swift ease. The pain that shot through her was ignored. Cara had her own ageils out and was heading towards the sound. Rose fell into step behind Cara immediately, slipping into her Mord-Sith training without a second thought. ""Obviously next time I need to pick a better camping spot, it's much too crowded in these woods," Cara said with her signature combination of wit and anger, as she jabbed her ageil towards the direction of the sound. Rose followed suit, thrusting her own ageil in the same area as Cara.
"Mistress Cara," Rose murmured under her breath, just loud enough for Cara to hear. Rose drew the thumb on her right hand, the one not holding her Ageil, across her jaw. Rose hoped that Cara would remember the signal. It was one of many used by the Mord-Sith when they were in danger of being overheard. "Guard Lord Rahl" was the general meaning, but Rose hoped that Cara would get the question behind it.

Richard
As the conversation went on between Selena and Cara as Rose and himself were looking on Richard felt a little awkward especially between two woman who obviously were sisters and that one of them had a hard time accepting it or in her heart was so glad but with her Mord-Sith training she wouldn't even let go or make a rare emotion pass so that everyone would see she was human like everyone else.
And as he listened is taughts were confirmed when Cara spoke back to Selena.He shook is head slightly and then looked at Selena as she replied to Cara's comment.but when he saw Selena turn toward him and look at him strait into is eyes and asking him if it would be alright to travel with him and the other and fight by is side,Richard was startle by her offer and was about to reply when Selena went back to Cara to continue to speak to her.
As Cara gave her point of view on what Selena told her he heard also the twig being stepped on and froze going on is heals he said in a whisper,"Be calm"as he slowly went toward Cara then taking out the sword in is hands without leaving is eyes were the sound was heard.
Then he slowly got up and with calm voice listening carefully around them for any noises he then said,"Whoever you are come forward "leaning the sword down toward the grown,"We do not want a fight."Glancing at the Mord-Sith he the whispered,"Keep your agiels near but stay calm and very alert I don't want any blood shed but if it come to that we go for it"then he looked at Selena and nodded to her if she heard she knew what to do.
Then Richard's eyes went back toward the forest and waited to see what would come next crossing is fingers that there wasn't an army and if that would be the case it wouldn't be first time he fought an whole D'haran army.

Marcios took a stick that was on the ground and gently pushed against the agile as he crawled out from under the bush and slowly got up brushing himself.
"Forgive me..I meant no intrusion. I've been wandering about trying to find a trail that leads back on track to where I was heading. Also Ma'am, please, i've experienced that stick first hand before, I'd prefer to stay as far away as possible from it please."
As Marcios sppoke he was slowly moving away from Cara and Rose as he looked to Richard, stick of course still in hand, he was also of course dressed as a peasent, so his appearance was nothing out of the ordinary.
"Again, forgive my intrusion, but I lost the trail and wound up getting lost, I heard voices and figured i'd see who it was. Though imagine my surprise when I see it's The Seeker...and his...Merry Band..."
The last part stated with heavy sarcasam. Finally dropping the stick Marcios took a small jump back and made sure to keep his distance from the two woman with Agiles.
"My name is Marcios Antonius Revillios. You'll forgive me if I don't go into further details of where i'm from, but Seeker or not, I don't know any of you enough to share more then just my name."
The whole time Marcios was making sure to keep his left hand from view. Yes he'd make a motion with his hand every now and then while talking, but his right hand was mostly used.

Richard
Richard narrowed is eyes as the man came forward and looked on as he slowly put the agiel aside of one of the Mord-Sith and hoped that the young man wouldn't be pushed away or attacked by the girls,and what he was saying Richard felt the same as the young man and felt shivers but for a short moment.
Richard saw how how the man was dressed but is gut feeling told him there was something more about the man as he listened to what he was saying ."Well" said Richard,"I am the seeker but I have not a Merry band you said you didn't want to have to feel the agiel better not say things of the sort"Then smiled as he the man jumped a couple step backward and continued to say what he had in mind..
"Well that is fair enough but my name is Richard not seeker and if you are afraid of me or my companions so you can't even say who you really are then you must be scared of something that haunts you or you don't trust yourself to see decent people before you and have enough confidence in yourself,is this why you hide your left hand did something happened to it ?as Richard looked at Marcios to is hidden hand.

Marcios just shook his head and shrugged.
"Nothing really happened with my hand. I had hoped to present myself in another way, but guess you caught on faster then i'd have hoped."
He held out his left hand and removed a ring from his ring finger, showing a burn scar that was on his ring finger. The scar itself actually was written in codex aroudn his finger.
"Tell me, have you, or your travel companiosn ever heard of the Hashashin?"
He smiled softly, there was no bluff in his smile, nothing sarcastic, he was genuinly asking a question as he held out his hand. He simply lowered his hand and put the ring abck on.
"I also have somehting for you Richard, if your Agile wielding friend would let me go back into the bushes to grab my sachel with my things and my real clothing..."
He simply stood there, again, still not hiding a thing and be quite open.

To actually be standing before Cara was a huge step in Selena's life. After everything she had been through, luck was finally being on her side, now she choose to fight by her sisters side but like Cara said it was all up to the Seeker the man known as Richard. She didn't know much about Richard but she could see a glimmer of honour and respect in the man's eyes. Still Cara's reply didn't really surprise Selena one bit because after all she was a Mord Sith.
Quietly she turned her gaze over towards Richard and patiently awaited his decision. However things went from great to worse as she heard a twig snap, but before she could even react she saw her sister standing near the bush where the snapping of a twig was heard and watched her point the agiel towards it. She couldn't help but put a smirk of respect over towards Cara as she moved quite quickly.
Slowly her eyes followed her sisters movements and soon watched as the other Mord Sith joined Cara followed quickly by Richard. The scenery before her soon evolved as a man soon emerged from the bush wearing just standard clothing for a man of his age, and as Richard issued out orders to the group and nodded, Selena nodded to Richard back and immediately stood still where she was but continued to watch the conversation between the man and Richard.
But as they talked things became obviously suspicious as the man revealed his name as Marcious. It was very obvious that he knew Richard as the Seeker but the question was who was he really and why was he spying on the camp site, however he was being rather calm as if he knew what he was talking about. Soon he revealed a little more about himself and even said that he wanted to give Richard something, it sounded like a trap but it was Richard's call.
All Selena did was keep an eye on Richard but didn't move an inch. Even if there was trouble all she could do was grab her sword and prepare herself to help her sister and the others, but all the young Selena could do was to watch the scene unfold

Cara had stepped back slightly to be closer to Richard, in case the stranger decided to attack. She did not, however, lower her agiel. She'd had about enough of people wandering into their camp, and she didn't trust this stranger one bit.
She'd heard of the Hashashin... only vague rumors and legends, of course, but she'd heard enough. No one knew exactly whose "side" they were on, if they were on anyone's side at all. Until she was sure that this man wasn't here to kill Richard, she had no intention of lowering her agiel.
"You may get whatever you left in the bushes, but Rose must go with you. Rose, you are not to leave his side, or lower your agiel until he is back within my sight."
At this point, she didn't even care if Richard argued. She was already on edge from the appearance of a sister she didn't even remember having, and she was in no mood to tolerate this stranger.

Rose was suspicious of the man from the moment his name left his lips. Something felt entirely wrong about him, and she didn't like it. The man had already attempted to push her ageil away from him, and that annoyed her immensly. She didn't let his action move her a hair's bredth. She was going to protect Richard. Te man then claimed to be an assassin, which put her even more on edge. She didn't like it at all. Who's side was he on? Was he working for Rahl? Rose doubted it, after all he had only been alive a few short days, but Rahl was not the Seeker's only enemy.
When Cara ordered her to follow the man as he went to collect his things, she automaticly responded. "Yes, Mistress." she said, slipping into her Mord-Sith persona as if it were her glove. There were many reasons why she hated being a Mord-Sith, but right now she was happy for her training. It gave her stregenth and power, power she would use to defend Lord Rahl. There was order and balance in it, despite the pain that came with the training. Rose remembered the two rules that she had to follow when given an order; 1. follow orders exactly and 2. make your Mistress and Lord Rhal proud. She knew she would do just that. Turning her ageil back to the man, she said, "Go on, you heard her. Go and get your things." Her ageil was a hair's breth from the man's neck, and Rose knew it would stay tere until they returned.

Marcios nodded and loked at the two Mord Sith and smiled.
"Thank you."
He walked past them and back into the busches as he came out with a satchel and walked abck towards Richard openign it up and pulling out a letter with the sygle etched stamp keepign it closed. He handed the letter to Richard and nodded.
"You'll find the letter to eb from my leader Almueleum."
With that Marcios went to a near by tree and hooked his satchel on it and puleld out a buntch of clothing and walked aorund the back side of the tree his peasent shirt being tossed aside. His pants came next as he quickly dressed up and came walking out dressed in a white hooded cloak. Leathe rpants on with white robe and boots. One iron clad glove on hsi right and two odd devices hooked under both gloves aorund his wrists. He had a sword, dagger, and crossbow hooked aroudn his metal belt that hooked aorudn front with the Hashashin symbol etched on it.
"Much better..."
If the letter were read....
-Dear Seeker,
My name is Alueleum. I present to you a wepaon to be used against Drakan Raul and his followers. We of the Hashashin are very real and are everywhere. We are split into two segments, the informants and gathers and the assassins. Marcios is my master Assassin and has conenctions all over the midlands. If you find him talking to somone, trust him enough to know it's a contact with information. Most fo the political revolutions that have occuredin the midlands are thanks to us, we pushed for the citizens to act upon their own grace to free themselves. Know this though, Marcios has orders that are to be surveyed above the one given to follow and help you. Many targets have been asigned to him to kill on your journey, targets that will help you move quicker. In the end, you will find Marcios to be a rather good team member. Use his skills to their fullest.
Hashashin High Master
Almueleum-

Cara remained motionless for a moment, eying the stranger suspiciously. She found it extremely presumptuous of the man to hand the letter to Richard, when she had made it quite clear that she was in charge of Lord Rahl's safety and security. Yes, Richard was strong and capable, but he was often too trusting, and Cara needed to be sure that the contents of that letter were not some kind of trick designed to manipulate Richard's famously soft heart.
"Your weapons," Cara said sharply, noticing that he had put them on along with the rest of his "regular" clothes. "Give them to me. I will not have you armed until we are sure you can be trusted."
She looked over at Selena. Well, if the girl was her sister, maybe she would be useful. She trusted her more than she trusted this stranger. "You said you could fight? Protect Richard while I take this man's weapons. Rose, stand behind me."

It would seem that it was going to be a long day for the Seeker, Cara and their allies. First it was her arrival and now this stranger who simply has a lot of confidence, but then again so did Selena. However Marcios was he certainly knew what he was doing and was hard to tell what his true intentions was. However no matter how skilled he was the stranger was no match for two Mord Sith, The Seeker and of course Selena who was quite skilled in combat.
When the stranger grabbed this things his appearance soon changed and despite his new clothes he didn't really look that menacing. But appearances can be deceiving and to never judge a book by a its cover, these quotes certainly came to life in the form of Marcios. But it wasn't long before Cara stepped in when the stranger revealed his weapons, and soon Selena could see her determination and loyalty to Richard.
And as Cara looked over towards Selena she too looked back towards her and heard her words. Without hesitation Selena quietly gave Cara a respectful nod and soon walked over to stand near Richard, Selena didn't know that Richard was a great fighter but if it helped her sister to watch his back then it would help Selena. While standing next to him Selena used her left foot to kick the hilt of her sword upwards and quickly grabbed it with her left hand.
Selena enjoyed the feel of the hilt of her sword on her hand. But more importantly it was her sword which was given to her by her adopted brother, so that and her memories of him was the only thing that kept him alive inside her heart. But right now she merely gave Richard a nod and stood side by side with Richard as she showed her loyalty to Cara and her allies, she had to admit it was a start for her to get to know her sister more.
But right now they had to deal with the stranger at least until he was disarmed and that he was able to be trusted. All she could do now was give her sister and Richard her full support in this situation.

[OOC: Been rather busy, sorry, and sorry fi this is a short post, btu saw thigns needed to move along]
Marcios simply held up his hands and sighed.
"Alright, alright, but i'm not taking anything off. Though I will keep my distance. Just make sure The Seeker...I mean Richard reads the letter."
He began to walk backwards making his distance between Richard on the other side of the fire and near the edge of the dense foliage. With that he simply sat down and took the hood off his head and looked up towards the sky.
"Also lady, once Richard does read that letter, what ever my orders are in there I have to follow them. Meaning it's Richard's decision, not yours to wether or not I stick around."
He looked directly at cara after saying this.

Richard
Richard nodded at Marcios's comment and looked on as the man revealed what was on is ring finger.frowning a little as he looked at the scar and listening to what the man was saying he then looked up at Marcios and said,"Heard of them."as he saw Marcios smile at him and the others and hoped that Cara would take it as a genuine smile because it was one.He gave Marcios a smile back and replied to is affirmation,"And what would that be?"
Then Richard said ,"Go get it nobody will hurt you "looking at Cara then Rose with a nod then Selena with a smile .He knew and felt that the three woman were on their guards scrutinizing every movement the man in front of then made if he did a false move he was a dead man.But Richard tried is best to keep Cara and Rose calm to a point were he could tell them not to go overboard.As for Selena he felt she was a good person and her heart would tell her what to do,until then he waited for Marcios to continue.
Richard stared at Cara and shrugged is shoulders but went on with her orders and motion to Marcios to do what she asked him to do and looked as Rose escorted Marcios to is things and crossed is arms as he waited
He grinned as Cara told Marcios to give her is weapons and shook is head as he listened to Cara's orders but knowing she was doing what she was here for he didn't say or do anything to make feel humiliated in front of Marcios she was is protector and she had to do her job.
He then looked at Selena as she went by him Richard smiled at her and whispered to her," Go on like this and you will win her heart she is a good woman never dought that even if she makes sure nobody sees it." and saw how she was serious about her duties toward him and Cara and he nodded back to her
Richard waited for Cara to give him what Marcios wanted him to have. and said ,"Cara please can you give me the letter so I can read it thank you."extending is arm and opening is hand.

Cara's eyes were narrowed and she refused to look away from the stranger as she took his weapons and he moved farther away from Richard. "You will address me as Mistress Cara, or just Mistress, until further notice," she said in an icy tone. "Not lady. And that," she added, nodding in Richard's direction, "is Lord Rahl, and you will address him as such until he says otherwise."
Yes, she was being a bit harsh. But she felt it was justified. She was, after all, responsible for Lord Rahl's safety, and she could not afford to be lax in her duties. Whether this man was who he said he was or not didn't even matter... he clearly had skills and training of some sort, and so he represented a potential danger. She had no intentions of taking her eyes off of him, even if it meant she would not sleep tonight.
She backed up toward Richard, nodding to Rose that she should move closer to the stranger to keep him back. When she reached Richard, she handed him the letter and then moved back toward Marcios.
"If you believe this man is not a danger, I will back off, but I will not take my eyes from him," she told Richard.

Richard
Richard took the letter from Cara's hands and replied to her comment,"Keep an eye on him but I don't think it would be in is favor to act with stupidity after saying what he just said wouldn't you agree?.And as for calling you lady if I were you I would rather be called that than you know what"clearing is troath,"whispering in her ear,"Whore .and for that matter you never presented yourself to the man so how could he call you hmm.oh as for me being referred as lord Rahl that's a bit premature to call me this way don't you this most people know me as Richard the seeker for now will for the near future alright especially if Darken Rahl has risen from the dead."smiling at her.
Opening the letter he read it with great interest as it said.
-Dear Seeker,
My name is Alueleum. I present to you a weapon to be used against Drakan Raul and his followers. We of the Hashashin are very real and are everywhere. We are split into two segments, the informants and gathers and the assassins. Marcios is my master Assassin and has connections all over the midlands. If you find him talking to someone, trust him enough to know it's a contact with information. Most for the political revolutions that have occuredin the midlands are thanks to us, we pushed for the citizens to act upon their own grace to free themselves. Know this though, Marcios has orders that are to be surveyed above the one given to follow and help you. Many targets have been assigned to him to kill on your journey, targets that will help you move quicker. In the end, you will find Marcios to be a rather good team member. Use his skills to their fullest.
Hashashin High Master
Almueleum-
Nodding as he finished the letter he looked up at Marcios and said,"I am don't know know what to say but I do thank your high master for is kind gesture but I don't need an asassin but I do need a man who believes in liberty victory peace for mankind that is what is to fight for if you want to be by my side.I don't want cold blooded killers,there are enough of those to get out of our way so if you want to fight by my side theses are my rules and quides no cold blooded killings just for the sake of doing so for the peoples and for lord Rahl I won' and will not accept this kind of vengeance do I make myself clear."
Richard looked at Marcios strait into is eyes and waited for the man to take is stand .He knew he needed a good warrior but the man had to fight for the right motives and in is heart he really wanted Marcios for the right motives and reasons to liberate the people from the keeper and Darken Rahl.
