A Strange Intruder

[Warringkingdoms]

  [font=trebuchet ms]Rin could hear a voice echoing through the mountains nearby- a strange voice, one she'd never heard before. Though she couldn't hear what they were saying perfectly, she thought she could make out the words "riches" and "treasure." While the Captain spoke like a stereotypical pirate, and riches probably weren't far from his mind when he wasn't thinking about killing them all, the fact that the voice was coming from on land suggested it wasn't him. He'd be stupid to stray so far from his domain for an unrelated mission.

  Of course, the plan was to eventually draw him out onto land anyway, but it wasn't a matter of making him fall for that. The idea was that he wouldn't have a choice, if he wanted to get at Rin.

  Nonetheless, Rin decided to investigate the odd voice, descending from the mountain camp to the orchard via the pulleys. Indeed, there was an unfamiliar lynx walking towards one of the buildings, carrying a bucket. Quirking a brow, she walked through the grass towards him, and asked, "Who are you, and why are you in the middle of Elysium territory?"

  If he was there to attack someone, it wouldn't make sense for him to carry a bucket, but Rin still glanced briefly over her shoulder, at the arrows in her quiver. She still had six arrows, just in case. Glancing back at him, she waited for an answer.
