[As promised, Cassian arrives at the fountain within ten minutes of his conversation with Ashura. He knew what he was doing was reckless and stupid, but he couldn't resist wanting to help this kid out. Even if it meant bringing

[He blinks at the boy in surprise and gives a startled laugh.]

Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself just fine. Besides, you shouldn't have to worry about any of that stuff here. As far as we know your world is a fair distance away from us.

[He's been taking care of himself since he was young and technically he was a grown man by all rights...all but one. As for his weapons...well, his knives were meant to be hidden. In his line of work it's all about stealth.

He glances at the clothes Ashura holds up and then at the ones in his hands.]

Yeah, I think they're as clean as we'll get them.

[He pulls the clothing out of the water and twists the fabric to wring out the water.]

It'll be awhile before these are dry. Probably a few hours as least. we should find a place the lay them in the sun.

[circus_knives]

[Cassian glances over the stone and nods.]

Yeah, that will do. [He takes the clothes he has and lays them out over the stone.]

There. We'll come back for them later. [He pulls his rolled up sleeves down and straightens them before looking back at the morgue.]

Well, time to show you were you'll be sleeping. Follow me. [He heads off towards the building but instead of going through the front door, he circles around the corner and leads Ashura to the door on the side.]

Be careful going down these stairs, they're old.

[circus_knives]

[His head nods slightly as he walks carefully down the stairs, glancing back at Ashura once in awhile to make sure he was doing okay.]

Not my home exactly. Just a place to sleep. [He reaches the bottom of the steps and quickly moves around the room, lighting candles for better light. At the far corner is a large furnace used for cremating bodies and at the opposite wall is a cot strung up between two wooden beams.]

It's not very cozy but it's got a roof and isn't entirely uncomfortable.

[circus_knives]

[He grins a little, pleased that he was able to help and that the boy didn't seem disappointed with his lodgings.]

No problem. There's a pillow and blanket on the cot already so make yourself comfortable. Are you hungry at all?

[circus_knives]

[His grin widens, not in the least caught off guard by Ashura's sudden enthusiasm. The boy must be starving.]

Okay. I'll run upstairs and grab you something. [He goes up the other flight of stairs leading inside the building as he speaks. He vanishes through the door only to return a few minutes later with a plate of bread covered in jam and a glass of milk.]

We don't have much as far as food goes. I hope this will be alright for now.

[circus_knives]

Ah...magic? [He gave the boy a confused look as he sat down on the floor across from him. He crossed his legs and dug his elbows into his thighs, leaning forward.]

I don't know of any magic that uses a straw. What does it do?
