treading there Keera.” She smiled at the backhanded compliment,
    “Then it's a deal, we shall meet in Outrock two weeks from today.” She shook his hand and stood up, “I am going to go get drunk, find me a man or two and enjoy the rest of the evening, till we meet again.”
    They all bade their goodbyes and Keera walked off to the bar with her ale in hand. Solynne was the first to speak up,
    “She is a little rough around the edges but she seems to be not only skilled but quick witted.” Wollfen agreed,
    “Yes she is one that can certainly take care of herself, all we need to find out now is if she is a good team player.” Kane had to add his five coins worth,
    “And she has big tits, that's always a plus.” Solynne backhanded him in the chest for that one.
    The evening passed by quietly enough and the three retired for the night, Solynne had paid for another room and both her and Kane went there. Wollfen was thinking of Dark and hoping she would manage to sleep okay, tomorrow he would find out.
    The next morning Wollfen was downstairs at a table eating breakfast, eggs and bacon with a couple of bread rolls that he as enjoying. A cold mug of milk stood by his plate half empty. It was some time before both Kane and Solynne descended the stairs and they almost missed out on having breakfast served.
    “So you two didn't manage to sleep much last night I take it?”
    The two of them looked at each other and smiled coyly, it was still early days for these two and they were acting shy.  Their breakfasts were brought out in short order and they got stuck into their fare, Wollfen noticed that Kane looked a bit bleary eyed. Obviously Solynne taxed him somewhat but he wouldn't pry, though he did find it rather funny. Each time he had seen them together with others around they acted like they didn't terribly like each other but it was obviously a front.
    They all sat there quietly, the two lovebirds eating while Wollfen watched on sometimes scanning the room, of Keera there was no sign. She had obviously left with the wagons that had moved out earlier making their way south.
    “What time do you want to go see Dark?” It was Solynne who spoke now that she had polished off her meal.
    “Oh there is no rush, when Kane finally finishes we can go have a look in and see how she is.”
    Kane gave a grunt and squinted, he kept eating at his own pace. He wasn't going to be pushed.
    About ten minutes later the three of them left the tavern and started the walk towards the healers residence. As they passed the tavern's stable though a rather disheveled Keera came stumbling out, she was still in her clothes but they were mostly undone. As the three of them stopped and watched she started fixing herself, buttoning up her pants and top. Kane was smiling and Solynne gave him a thump in the upper arm.
    “Keera? Are you okay?”
    She looked around, squinted at the sun and then turned, puking on the ground. She was badly hungover. Wollfen motioned for Solynne, she went and held Keera steering her to a log and sat her down.  Wollfen stood before her,
    “Something tells me you don't have a job anymore.”
    Keera could only shake her head slightly, it hurt. Wollfen looked around and then made a decision,
    “Why don't you two take her back to the tavern and deal with this. I'll go see Dark and see how she is, then I'll come back to see you three.”
    They all agreed and Wollfen walked off toward the healers place.
    A few minutes later Wollfen showed up in the open doorway of the healers practice and the nurse ushered him along, they walked in to find Dark sitting up in bed propped up on some pillows. She smiled as she saw Wollfen and he came over sitting next to her facing each other.
    “It's good to see you are awake, you don't look too bad at all.” Dark managed a wan smile and replied in a weak voice,
    “I'll be back up workin at the bar by this afternoon.”
    He gave a little laugh, at least she still had her sense of humor.
    “I'm
