She shrugs, and heads upstairs, looking through the rooms all the way to the top floor. After a while, her curiosity is satisfied, and, all the while fighting the temptation to steal an ashtray, she finally steps lightly down the stairs to the tavern, planning to say a quick goodbye and leave.

The tavern was simple, a few tables and chairs a bar but what stood out was the large glass case behind the counter with a very large glowing gem that seemed to have a storm sealed within it. Vergil sat at one of the tables a glass of water in front of him, he had his back turned to the staircase and didn't see Rose entered but easily heard the soft footsteps. "Well did you satisfy your curiosity?"

The gem seemed to whisper something incoherent to Rose, it was almost trying to communicate with her. "I don't know entirely... my father had it when he died it fell into my possession. It's priceless." He was now watching her look at the gemstone something about her was starting to connect with him, he remembered how curious he was about the stone too.

She seems entranced as she steps closer, holding out a hand to it. "It... said something. Did you hear that?" Her hand reaches out to touch its surface, hesitant- she's not certain what to expect, and the slowness of the gesture would give the mercenary time to object if he wanted to. Her head is canted lightly to one side, expressing her curiosity a little further.

"I heard nothing." Vergil stood up and walked over to the gemstone. "Rocks can not talk in normal tongue you know." The gemstone stopped saying things and seemed to dim a little bit once Rose came into contact with it. "hey what did you just do." Vergil grabbed Rose's shoulder and slightly pulled her back.

Having not heard him stand, she starts a little, and shakes his hand from her shoulder. "I didn't do anything- not intentionally, at least. It seems magical, though, so- maybe it picked up on my energy?" A little uncertain how to respond to the way it had dimmed at her touch, she shrugs, and steps back from it.
"Anyway, I came down to say goodbye; had a look around the place, didn't take anything..." In a facetiously mocking gesture, she rolls her eyes.
"Follow Black Jack's orders, okay? No getting in fights for at least three days." With that as her parting shot, she turns to go up the stairs and leave.

The Gemstone brightened itself up again after Rose had backed off a bit but it still remained silent. "hey wait." Vergil moved a little to swiftly as he backed off and blinked from a sudden headache. "At least let me treat you to some diner, as a thank you." He had to sit back down again and so he found the closest chair.

Knowing he's concussed, she observes him carefully, making sure he doesn't fall on his way back to the chair. Ordinarily, she wouldn't accept- but he's concussed, so she can overpower him easily if needed, and... food sounds good. She hasn't eaten a solid meal in a while.
"...Sure. Do you have chefs here, or do you cook, or-?" The offer was kind, but she had no plans of cooking for him; that was reserved for her fathers.

Vergil let out a laugh as she questioned him about cooking. "I would love to cook you a meal but if you take a look I am in no shape to cook right now. I was thinking maybe tomorrow night I could treat you but if you're hungry now I could get you something easy but it wouldn't be fancy." He was still chuckling on the inside.

She shrugs, pausing at the bottom of the stairs to watch his reactions. "Tomorrow works; where do you want to meet?"
I'll consider it further payment- though it could be fun to see where this goes; he doesn't seem like too much of an ass now that I know him a little better. ...we'll see.
For now, she's more interested in getting home, to her little library. The gem had piqued her interest, and she hoped to learn more about it- maybe one of her books on magical reagents could tell her something.

"We can meat in the Market square where you were pick pocketing how about." He wasn't interested in whatever whelps lost their coin to this princess but it was kind of obvious with her behavior this afternoon that it was exactly what she was doing. Not his problem not his clean up was his motto for this one.
Post by Rose Sonder on Mar 12, 2013 21:01:06 GMT -5
"Sounds good- though I would appreciate it if you kept quiet about that. Have you got experience with it, yourself? Most people wouldn't have noticed."
((...it'd take someone who had been pickpocketed or seen someone doing it multiple times to notice that's what she was doing, not to mention, wasn't Vergil sort-of in a fight and not noticing her at the time? Seems a little godmode-ish.))

"No I just assumed you were cause you seem to have went through the trouble of taking a coin from my pocket." Vergil took a quick swig of his water which was sitting at the table. "I will see you tomorrow then." She was a strange girl how would she expect him to not know when taking the individual coins from his pocket, or maybe she was smart cause if he didn't brush her arm he wouldn't have known the weight difference. "don't worry as long as you don't do it to me again it isn't my problem."
((Yeah Vergil assumes a lot, using evidence that he witnesses.))

Rose nods, a very slight smile on her face, and vanishes up the stairs, her coat skimming along the backs of her knees.
Well- at least he won't say anything if he catches me doing it to someone, and I got 20 Valors out of the experience. Hm... if he does keep that close a count on his coins, I wonder if he'll notice having dropped one? She shrugs, and heads out of the guild, and into the early evening.
