Return from the Crossrods- Signs of Hope?

[Tobias]

Tobias and Emillia walk into a room at the Scamp's Mug in Port Hempstead. Both look completely exhausted but wear small smiles on their faces as the set their possessions down. Tobias flings off his sack and lets it drop tot he floor with a loud thud as Emillia quietly puts her things in the corner, brushing fallen bits of hair out of her face and sits quietly on the bed glancing back at Tobias. He still fumbles around with his gear but finally gives up and scoffs his hand at it as he turns around glancing at her a briefly as he whips his hair back. She sitll sits watching him with a warm smile as her eyes fade closed and back open every so slightly.
 
    He puts his hands on his hips and turns toward Emilla. "Well, its not much, but I am sure it will so you can get some sleep. You know you gave me quite the sacre back there.. I can't lose not now.. Together we have come so far.. It be a shame to fall victim now.." He walks nimble over to the bed and sits next to his sister, wraping one arm around her as he places his head on her shoulder. "Not when we just found each other and I have yet to prove myself to you that I am not like our father."
 
   She sighs alittle and starts to speak, but Tobias cuts her off. "I will do better. I promise you that.. Now that Connor knows how to surpress it, we can fight back.. Maybe with help from him we can supress the calls on our own." He leans back and lays across the bed giving a deep sigh." I am so use to fighting problems with my blade other then trying to think through these.. It use to be kill or be killed. But, not know.. There is more people to worry about and I keep forgeting them.... and you? Why is that? Is there something wrong with me.. Where I can't put others before myself?" Tobias slams his fist on the bed gritting his teeth.
 
   Emillia frowns slightly placing her hand on his, but still not saying a word, just holds his hand comforting him.
 
    Tobias turns over on his side looking at his sister. "There is something more then we can do then just wait for others to solve our problems..  I.. I need to do more.."  He sighs heavly as he lays back over the bed.
 
   Emillia too lays down next to her brother and does nto speak a word her eyes fall heavy one last time and remain closed for the remainder of the night.
 
   Still Tobias lays awake his eyes staring up far past the ceiling. Thinking..

The next morning Tobias rises and writes a quick note to Emillia and quickly gathers his gear.He strids out of the room entereing the tavern and asking the Innkeeper to keep a careful eye on his sister. His eyes don't not blink as he stares into the eeyes of the inkeep as he promise a long and painful death if something happens to her. As he leaves he drops a heavy sack of gold and offers a warm smile saying. "For your troubles of watching over my sister.
 
  Tobias shuffles out of the The Scamps Mug, his steps our quick but purposeful. He makes his way to the dock and talks over with the captain of one of the ships that is heading to to Mariners Hold.
 
   He talks to the captain asking for him and his crew next time they are in Mariners Hold to talk around and see if they can find out if there is rumors spreading around the city. Tobias clearly tells the captain that everything they might hear is important.
 
  Tobias then hands the captain a large purse containing 20,000 trues and promises more with useful information.
 
   He then turns and makes his way out of the city toward Vehl. He heads in to the One eyed Harpy. As he enters the bar he tells the bar man that if any have a story to tell about Mariners hold that he will be in the back corner with a eager ear and a large purse. There he sits and waits with his keen ears focusing on any conversations that a drunken sailor might have concerning Mariners Hold.
 
   After two days he leaves and heads back to Port Hempstead to find his sister.
