Vayne crossed the threshold of the inn where Larsa was staying. He suspected his brother was still less than pleased by these arrangements, but with good hope would eventually come to accept it. Vayne did not wish to turn the matter into a confrontation, however, he had no intention of accommodating the younger Solidor if he intended to play the wounded martyr or sulky child. Common for the age, unbecoming to his lineage.

Just inside the entrance he stood, shoulders squared, a practical fine sculpture waiting.

For but a fleeting moment, Vayne was startled by Larsa's appearance. Despite his having seen his younger brother dramatically grown and matured in the matter of hours, it was still something that required getting used to.

"Good morning, Larsa. I trust you slept well?"

An innocent enough question, as if there were no tension on either party's part. He was aware that Larsa objected to their errand today, yet it must be so. Better to not broach the topic and do what must be done.

"Quite well. You will forgive me for departing soon after. I find I have business that will take me away once more."

With that, he turned to the door, exiting into the street. They could speak while walking to the meeting place. "A most intriguing world in which we have found ourselves. There are curiosities I had not thought possible which seem to defy the logic of reality, yet so they are."

Of course Larsa would be drawn to the common people rather than the leadership. It was just as well as it kept him out of harms way, by and large. These mercenaries would make up the difference in his safety.

They wound through the streets, Vayne doing so with an upright and regal posture. "I follow a potential lead as to the cause of what has brought us here. I hope to find a way to unravel what has been done."

Larsa's statement put an even more somber look on Vayne's face. "I will not rest until I have done so. There can be no other alternative."

"The eastern gate on the far side of the front square," Vayne replied, glancing ahead to the square which was coming into view. It was best to leave the conversation at that, before Larsa put in one more plea against this.
