It was then that the woman spoke up again, quickly scribbling out another note and handing it to her.
Unusual indeed. I can take care of myself, however. I am not as helpless as I may seem.
As if to underscore the meaning of her written words, she plucks a single string of her Etwahl, emanating a noise that muddies the senses and makes the ears want to yelp in pain, though it only lasted for a second. Her polite smile turns back to the man, content to wait or refuse his offer if he would not answer her.
Rose nods as she takes the note, and manages to hide a grimace as the sound reverberates in the air.
"Ah- of course; I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply you were." She gives another nod, this one a little more awkward than the first. Though she'd stepped up confidently enough, the student found herself a little shy now.

"when was the last time you saw a hotel in Noxus? Let alone a guild tavern and hotel in one building." Vergil narrowed his eyes at Rose, she was being a little bit... annoying.
((Also I wont be around for the next week so do keep that in mind.))

Leaving his hoverboard on the rooftop, Loras quickly makes his way to the side of the building he was one, sliding down to ground level on a pipe. He was fiddling with his watch until a holographic display showed up, which upon further looking would be a camera. Loras planned on getting a picture with the Maven... if it weren't for the crowd of people already pushing their way forward.
Great. Now I've got to get through this... A weak current of red electricity began flowing from the boy's shoulder to his right index finger has he began walking forward. He pretended to be busy with his watch as he casually zapped people left and right. The bolts were harmless, but they were getting him through the crowd with ease.

((Alright~ also, I figure there would be hotels in Noxus, just not particularly nice ones. It wasn't the mention of a hotel that provoked her suspicion, but the "so to speak".))
Rose shrugs noncommittally, and steps back, letting the two talk. If Vergil ceased to pay attention to her, then it'd seem as though she melted back into the crowd- but she still stood just at the edge of it.
...I know she's not helpless, but I've never seen this guy or his guild, or his tavern, or his hotel. It seems a little sudden.
The student looks off to the side- after the man's rebuff, she's hesitant to make eye contact with the Maven, not wishing to seem suspicious, herself, by seeming too interested.

Draven walking through the streets hears the all to familiar songs. "I Recognize that." he says to himself as he walks upon a huge crowd gathered in the street listening. He notices Rose Sonder exchanging words with a man the two standing in front of Sona. Draven walks up to Rose "Who is the sketchy dude talkin to Sona?" Draven looks down at Rose and asks.

The student starts a little as he asks, not having expected to see Draven here- and she definitely hadn't expected him to recognize her, with the number of fangirls she'd seen milling around him.
"Says his name's Vergil." Rose keeps her voice a little low, so that Vergil himself won't take notice of the conversation. Switching gears to something more innocuous, she looks up at the Executioner.
"The turn-out at the Butchering was massive," she comments, smiling. It's a non-sequitor, but it moves the subject away from the man, whom she'd rather avoid; he didn't seem pleased with all her questions.

"Yes it was, It had to be a show that everyone would hear about." Draven says smiling ear to ear. "People showed up from all around i guess your partly to thank for that so if ya need anything you know where to find me." Draven says walking toward Sona. "Well hello there beautiful." He says walking up to Sona and Vergil completely interrupting him. "You didnt have to come all this way just to see me." Draven says winking at Sona.

Rose smiles back, and nods- uncertain how to handle the situation, she opts to hang back, but doesn't move any further into the crowd. Instead, she edges around it, so that the Maven can see her, and wave to her if needed.
...not that it'd be needed. She reaches up to rub an ear ruefully, half-smiling at her own foolishness in assuming that Sona needed protection.
The flurry of people now conversing about her and around her provoked a sharp sigh of discontent from the musician, though it was nothing more than a rasp of air that was lost in the din of the crowd. As Vergil and Rose bickered in front of her, Sona went about massaging her fingertips and wrists, losing interest in the two of them almost immediately. Though listening, it made no difference what they said, as she had no particular desire to be protected or accept the man's offer.
The reason wasn't enough. She'd never thought Noxians to be particularly outgoing, so having a man she'd never met before attempt to ingratiate himself with her was unsettling. Either way, he didn't seem to be pushing it any further, so she let it drop. It was about the time when she'd finished relaxing her hands that Draven appeared.
His antics had always been amusing, especially because he seemed to so fully believe in them. Her only response to his boasting, however, was a flick of a string beside her, sending a gentle shockwave out, aimed at the executioner's face. It wasn't harmful at all, nothing more than a gentle chiding.

Draven still smiling when he feels the gentle slap from Sona on his right cheek. He takes his hand and places it to his face rubbing his cheek. "Still playing hard to get I see, no need to hide your ture feelings for me its only normal." He says chuckling. "There has to be a reason you cane to our city other than this impromptu concert." "Maybe Draven can help you find what your looking for?"

Sona looked decidedly unimpressed. If there was something he was trying to say, he certainly wasn't being very direct. Nevertheless, her fingers twirled her pen a few times before pressing the tip to the page and deftly writing out a reply for the Noxian man.
While I'm flattered for the offer, I have a crowd to please. Surely you of all people can understand that. Perhaps afterwards? I believe I have somewhere to stay in the city, I wouldn't mind you can showing me the sights of your city-state.
Having been mute since birth, Sona had always been particularly good at keeping her expressions from betraying her, as so much of her world was utterly internal. It was something she was very glad for, especially now. She did have an obligation to the crowd, but having an escort of such prestige would make it far, far easier to observe the state of Noxus.
Another quick flicking and twirling of her pen, and she pressed a note into Vergil's hand, asking for directions to this hotel of his. She had no idea if she'd need it but there was no need to be rude. Perhaps it would shed light on his true intentions.
She inwardly lamented her place as a superstar, handling a crowd was never in her strengths, especially without a voice. Curiously, the group seemed to be parting in a line straight toward her. Curious, but perhaps it was another champion that had been lured in by her music.

Draven smiled as he read the note. "It would be an honor my lady." He said as he bowed. "My home is just north of here when you are ready for your adventure please just come by and my people will let you in." Draven says as he starts to turn and mingle back in with the crowd.

The remaining members of Vergil's band of mercenaries started to join the crowd but they wouldn't be staying for the music and Vergil got the idea. "I suppose I will have to rescind my offer as it appears we are leaving early." He made a small bow and joined with the rest of the group as they finalized their preparations to leave.
The Maven's expression flattened immediately as the offer she had accepted was retracted just as quickly. Strange man, she concluded, not one to bother with. Another handful of paper was shoved toward her by a zealous fan, which was swiftly signed. Despite that, her focus was still on the crowd. there was a certain air to it. It wasn't quite right. It was almost like they were watching her. Not in the typical fashion and not all of them either. It was almost felt like her worth was being weighed. A peculiar feeling, to be certain.
Nevertheless, she busied herself with autographs to ignore the sensation and gave a smile to any fan who came near.
