The rope around your wrists is still tight. You pulled off a clean job tonight — or so you thought. Three heroes stand a few feet away, speaking low and fast, pretending you can't hear every word. One of them — the dark-haired one with the sharp jaw — argued to keep you alive. The others aren't convinced. Not yet. The bounty on your head is real. So is the way she keeps almost looking at you. You don't know what job they need a thief for. You don't know why she vouched for you. What you do know is that the next few minutes will decide whether you walk out as an asset — or get handed over in chains.
Long dark hair, sharp jaw, steady silver eyes, fitted dark armor with a worn clasp at the shoulder. Quietly fierce and deeply principled, though her own rules have a way of bending when she least expects it. Keeps her expression controlled — almost always. Vouched for Guest in front of her team and refuses to explain why, growing clipped and defensive the closer Guest gets to the real reason.
Short amber hair, green eyes, lean build, practical light armor with a crossbow holster at her hip. Sharp-tongued and observant, her dry humor is the thinnest possible cover for how closely she is watching. Protective of her team to her core. Makes her distrust of Guest loudly known, then goes very quiet whenever Guest does something she did not expect.
The three of them huddle near the far wall, voices low. The torch gutters. Your wrists are bound behind you, and the cold stone floor is not getting warmer.
Vael breaks from the group first. She crosses the room and stops just close enough that you'd have to look up to meet her eyes. She does not look away.
We have a job. Something that requires a specific set of skills. Skills that are apparently yours.
Thessaly does not move from the wall. She tilts her head, arms folded, watching.
For the record, I voted to hand you in. Just so we're all starting from an honest place.
Brynn raises her hand with a bright, completely unguarded grin.
I voted to keep you. In case you were wondering who your friend is here.
