"Well we best save introductions for later, there's something I need to do," said Jade. "Sorry to cut short our conversation." Jade then stopped before the exit of the inn and stared at a silhouette of something in the distance. He then walked out of the inn and slowly walked to his left as if waiting for something.

Guy stood still for what seemed like forever. He wanted people to think he was over his fear of women. "I-I heard a rumor that someone was bribing a soldier. I followed the soldier here, and found this guy," he gestured to Sajay. Of course, at that moment, Sajay moved quickly past him, knocking him over, and out of the inn, hoping to catch up to Jade.

Jade, still walking though at a slower pace, turned his head back and looked over at the entrance of the inn where he saw a man running toward him.

Anise was depressed that her surprise did not work on Guy and got off his back right before Sajay knocked over Guy. "Gosh, are you ok?" Anise asked the toppled Guy. Then almost immediately turned to Rinoza and asked her, "Well I guess we should see about a swimsuit for you, the shop's over here, or do you want to rent one?"

Rinoza sheepishly smiled and rubbed the back of her head. "W-well, I guess I 'could' rent one... but.. I don't have any money on me," she lied. She had money, but only enough to take the boat from the continant back to Malkuth.
--
"Blast...." she scowled when she saw the soldier walking out of the inn and quickly disappeared down the alley. "I've seen him before somewhere, and also recall being told be very careful around him... but if he's here then that'll make capturing that girl even more difficult," she rubbed her chin.
As she thought about another plan; a heavy built man wearing a trench coat came down the alleyway and stopped beside her. "I roughed up the man at the harbor, this girl will be taking the ferry back to Malkuth two days from now, so tell your little friends to wait until then to nab her. Most likely she'll either leave later tonight or early in the morning," he informed her.
"I have to wonder how you know her so much, first you tell us she'll come here and sing but also pay the govenor a visit. Now you tell us she'll be on a ferry, what exactly is-" she said before the man grabbed her by the throat and lifted her off the ground.
He looked her into the eyes and shook his head before releasing his grip. "You want money? Then do the job we gave you, fail it and we'll just find someone else..." he said before turning around and walking back the way he came. The girl rubbed her neck before giving chase - but when she exited the alleyway she saw that the man was now gone. Confused, she just shrugged her shoulders and went to relay a message.

"Yes?" Jade said with his back turned. "What do you want? I know you've been following me so what is it that you want?" Jade turned his head showing only his face and his glasses. He then lifted his glasses with his first finger, and the lenses had a glare, as he waited for an answer.

Sajay sighed, "There is something I wish to ask you about. Do you have the time?" He asked.
Guy sighed, "I'm..." Anise turned away, "...Fine..."

Isaac was in a situation common to him. That is, wanting to help someone but being unable to bring himself to. He was sure that it was possible for him to get the girl some kind of discount, but was it such a good idea? He shouldn't have been eavesdropping in the first place.
But suddenly, a strange feeling came over him. He remembered his journey from Baticul to Keterburg, and how he had yearned for the random acts of kindness that was so rarely seen. He temporarily set aside his selfish inhibitions, deadset on doing what he can to assist her.
He stood up and walked over to them. "Excuse me..." he started, shaking a little. "I work here... if you don't have enough for a swimsuit, I'm sure that I can get you a discount, or something of the sort..."
He nervously awaited a response, hoping for a positive one.

She looked the man over, her head shifted to one angle as she gave it some thought before answering, "Ok!" she said and stared at him with an innocent expression. She then looked over at Anise and gave her a smile.

Anise smiled back to Rinoza and also spoke to her, "Well, I still don't want you to get the money for it out of your own pocket, I can buy it for you."

Isaac nodded, silently ecstatic that it had worked. He looked at Guy sympathetically, having just noticed him. 'He looks familiar...' he thought to himself, looking back at the two young girls.

"If you insist," smiled Rinoza as she turned back toward the man. "By the way, what's your name?" she asked while placing a finger on the side of her chin in thought.

"... Oh," he said, wondering what to say. "It's... Isaac... what are all of yours?" He was fidgetting a little bit.

Rinoza giggled. "That's a very nice name! Mine's Rinoza!" she beamed.

He tried to smile, but couldn't force himself to. Instead, he nodded again. "Um..." he looked at both Guy and Anise at the same time. "What about you two?"
