Mathew paces the living room of his house, scowling as he considers a pressing problem. The escape of Lady Laura. At least he sends a slave to fetch Feral, Sorin and Nikostratos.

[aivea]

The three the slave is sent to fetch are found together near the center of town. Nikostratos, and Feral are discussing Lorraine's disappearence which occured near the same time as Laura's rescue; Sorin, however, just looks bored, and waits for the conversation to change topics. The half-blood is more interested in finding where Laura went than what happened to his fellow slaver.

"E-e-excuse me sirs?" The slave whispers. "M-m-master M-ma-mathew wishes to see y-y-you r-r-r-right away."

[aivea]

"Oh really?" Feral replies. "I wonder what he wants..."

Nikostratos glares at the slave for a few moments due to being annoyed at the interuption, but inquires, "Does this have anything to do with the two disappearences?"

For a moment, Sorin seems to be considering striking the slave for speaking before being addressed, but simply clenches his fists instead. Remaining silent, he attempts to restrain his temper which had worsened after the incident in Fara, and reminds himself that harming the property of the leader of the village would only lead to worse things.

"I-i-i w-w-wasn't t-t-t-told, sir," the slave stammers. "B-b-but I-i-i think s-so."

[aivea]

"Stop stammering, and lead the way then," growls Sorin impatiently. "Isn't leading us there or at least making sure we arrive part of your job?"

[Northen Light36]

"Y-y-yes sir," the slave whimpers and leads the three slavers back to Mathew, who greets his slave with a fist to the face.

"What took you so long?" he snaps. "Never mind, just get back to your work." The slave scrambles to his feet and hurries off as Mathew turns to his guests. "I'll get straight to the point. You've heard about the recent disappearences, I assume?"

[aivea]

"Yes," answers Feral before the other two can speak, appointing himself the spokesman of the group.

[Northen Light36]

"Well Lorraine was caught by her own foolishness," Mathew replies. "She took two Minds and didn't even secure them properly. I'm not trying to get into the mind city to rescue a fool. However, the fools I sent to stop Laura escaping failed misrably and I have no doubt she's on her way to Talen'sul as we speak. Take horses, get there first and make sure she's silenced. Permently. If my nephew is with her, kill him and anyone else with them..." Mathew pauses and looks thoughtful. "Except for any children with the group. Bring the children back to me and kill the adults."

[aivea]

"all right then..." Feral replies, the task seems reasonable to him.

Sorin looks disappointed, and asks, "Why can't we kill them all?"

"There is something else planned for the children," Nikostratos answers in a tone suggesting he thinks he's stating the obvious.

[Northen Light36]

"I'll tell you what, Sorin," Mathew says with a smirk. "When you bring the children back here, you can help me break the boy with my nephew to seemly behaviour for a storm."

[aivea]

"That sounds good," Sorin says to Mathew with an eager nod. His expression is an odd mixture of a smug grin, and a cruel smirk. "Anything else?"

[Northen Light36]

"That's all," Mathew replies. "See that you make sure you get the best horses and supplies. Wouldn't want you to be in more discomfort then you have to be while taking care of this for me. Take a couple of the slaves as well if you wish too."
