[IRP] Secrets of the Empire

[Deathspike]

While Klara was speaking to Paige, Gunoy noticed more people entering the small shop. He also noticed the same new people were coming their way to speak to Paige as well. He simply sat his now empty cup of tea on the table and watched the conversation unravel. As he was listening he noticed that Klara's cup was also empty and proceeded to stand up.

"Where are you going?" Klara asked as she noticed him gathering their cups and saucers.

"Well we're done with them," Gunoy said, "I'm just taking them back to the bar."

After that, Gunoy then walked over and placed them on the bar. He was then thanked by the shop owner as he headed back for his seat. He then noticed the other girl was unconscious. Seeing this simply made him put on a blank face and droop his arms in disbelief. "...Really? Again?" he thought as he shook his head slowly.

Klara didn't know what he was so upset about, until one of the men mentioned her passing out again. They then begun debating on what they should do with her as far as her health was concerned. Without even thinking Klara raised her arm out, "Oh! I could take care of her," she said to them all.

Gunoy didn't seem fazed by what Klara said at all, "As predictable as ever," Gunoy said, "well since your taking care of her, I'm going to make that delivery." As he was speaking he was writing something on a piece of paper and passed it to Klara. After that he then made his his way for the door.

Klara seemed a little dumbfounded when Gunoy gave her a piece of paper and started walking out, "Okay, see you later!" Klara said to Gunoy. Whenever Gunoy wrote her something, it was either very helpful, or a warning. With that in mind she decided to simply put the note away and read it at a later time. After that, she stood up and approached the girl.

Meanwhile.....

Gunoy just exited the tea shop; covering his eyes to keep from being blinded by the sun. As he soon let his left arm lower naturally he noticed the cloth on it was fully dark red indicating they were filled with much of his blood. He quickly went to their travel wagon and grabbed a clean white cloth. As he unraveled the one that was on his arm it began dripping lots of blood. When he got it off there was a small puddle of his blood on the ground.

The cause was covered in blood, but very easy to see; in his arm was what appeared to be metal imbedded in his arm smoothed to his skin. He then cringed in pain and from the metal blood began to seep out of his arm. He then quickly covered the cause with the cloth and strapped it on tight, "Ugh, that was even more than last time," he thought, "this curse is such a pain."
