[flame_and_void]

Standing patiently in a corner of the bar, Rand is dressed for battle. His white shirt is tight, sword buckled at his hip, black pants a little loose for movement, black boots with hard soles. The glow of Saidin is alight about him, and his gaze sweeps the room as he looks for those who are joining him today in the hunt

Wencit knew that Rand would be moving soon, but not precisely when. It explains why he's not really dressed for a fight when he walks down the stairs from his room. He's not visibly armed, and a light robe isn't much in the way of armor.

But Rand is a rather intense young man in normal circumstances, and these are anything but that. Wencit spots him quickly and strides over, "Today then, is it?"

[flame_and_void]

He nods.

"It is; I apologize for the short notice, but things had to be moved up a notch. If you need some time to make preparations, w--I have a little bit to give."

[wildfire_eyes]

"I shall not delay you," Wencit turns, then pauses. "Has there been any change in the situation from when last we spoke?"

[flame_and_void]

"Nothing that I'm aware of. The element of surprise is still on our side, so we should be able to get in and hit hard."

[wildfire_eyes]

Wencit nods once and retreats back to his room. It only takes a few minutes before he returns wearing a sturdy poncho, heavy boots, and a longsword. He had considered light armor, but Rand's description of what they faced suggested that it would do little good.

He returns to Rand's table. "I am prepared."

[flame_and_void]

Rand looks over the garb, and nods, but eyes the poncho. "I should have been a bit specific; where we're going it will be hot and humid. You probably won't be needing the cover."

[wildfire_eyes]

"Ah. In that case," Wencit reaches up and tugs the poncho up over his head. "I am glad you told me now rather than allowing me to discover my folly on my own," he smiles just a bit.

[flame_and_void]

"It's also that you may need to be rather mobile."

Ponchos have a tendancy to catch on things, hinder movement, and so forth, but Rand is sure that Wencit is aware of this.

[wildfire_eyes]

"I assume that the others who will accompany us will be arriving soon?" Wencit looks around, curious to see who else might have answered Rand's call.

[flame_and_void]

"They're about; I'll be calling everyone to gather together in a few minutes. I think we're just waiting on one more."

[ryoko_set_free]

Ryoko walks over to the professional looking man Rand was talking to. "My name is Ryoko Hakubi." She bows slightly. "You are joining this fight?"

[wildfire_eyes]

He bows back, "Wencit of Rūm, at your service." He smiles as his flame-filled eyes examine Ryoko curiously. "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

[ryoko_set_free]

His eyes fascinate her, but since her own are a bit cat-like, she's not shocked at all. "Good to meet you too." Ryoko glances around. "How much do you know about what we're getting into? I admit, I signed up because I was looking for a good fight, and I have no idea what the situation is."

[wildfire_eyes]

"I know only what Rand has told me, but that is enough to suggest that it will be the sort of fight with which I am familiar with. I have been fighting the forces of Darkness for most of my life." A really long life, at that.

[ryoko_set_free]

"I'm not fond of darkness myself," Ryoko agreed. "Still, are we raiding a fortress, retrieving an item, something like that?"

[flame_and_void]

Rand begins gathering everyone together.
