There had been a long pause. With nothing happening anymore he was left with little really keeping him here. It was obvious that Danu wasn't showing, and so without even checking if Umbra was looking he waved and took his leave. He'd leave the now free elemental to exist as it chose to, with no bound master it was truly a free being. And he considered himself no ruler of sapient beings.
Walking from the area, uninterested in questioning Sol himself. Besides, the guards on call would probably be there in a moment to back up Umbra and check up on things. Zeurei faded rapidly into the neighboring streets, to meet up with Zeureis where they always did, since she'd left when attention had been drawn to them.
It was quiet in the streets and alleys he walked, already starting to turn later in the day. He could serve to get something to eat soon, but he may as well see if Zeureis was up for the same first. Who knows what kind of trouble she could have gotten herself into after all. It took a good bit of time for him to reach the particular alley on foot, especially with his small stature, but Zeureis wasn't there.
For a moment, it looked like he had arrived early and stood alone, but it didn't take long to find Sandrise, or rather for her to find him, as she freaked him out jumping on his back, lending him to cursing as he ran in a relatively wide circle for a moment trying to shake whatever it was off his back before he stopped, noticing the soft blue glow that reflected off the shoulder of his robe.
"Sandrisse? Really now... Don't scare me like that. You know I don't deal with surprises well." "Merrroww." She taunted him, dropping from his back. "Geese, are all females like this?" She growled at him. "Okayy. I know, I know, generalizations are stupid. Sorry. So where is Zeureis?" She only blinked, giving no vocal response as he covered his face with his right hand. "Not again."
Zeureis laid poised on the roof, looking at the trading stall, foot traffic was starting to die down, but patrols weren't increased as of yet, so it was about this time that was perfect for a few customer 'discounts'. She laid somewhat awkwardly on her belly to hide her silhouette, making her appear as not more than a bit of garbage upon the sanded roof tiles of the housing unit. To her credit, this was already her third run of the day, plus she now had some dirt to use to levy with the guards on a couple of the more precarious trades kept under wraps by the merchants in case she got caught.
The merchant turned around now, checking on the money box as they cursed, having just knocked it over. "Damn my clumsy hands." And she dropped, moving forwards and passing by the stall , only one pair of eyes had been on her, and they had no good angle. Well she thought there had been only one pair of eyes, until she heard the merchant speak up with a quick step after her.
"I saw that. Giv- Get back here! Those are expensive!" Her back prickled as she turned to look and saw someone else trying to dart off, with the same idea, although a guard tackled them down and had them cuffed in less than a couple seconds. She looked back forwards and continued, trying not to shake before the merchant spoke again.
"Hey you, can you believe that other guy?" She hesitantly turned around, looking at them as the guard drug them off still struggling. Saying nothing, just shaking her head, no. "Come on, why so nervous? What, were you working with them?" Finally he netted a reaction from her as her expression wrinkled in disgust as she retched at the thought.
"Heck no." "Ahh, whatever, just get going then if you aren't going to buy something." She shrugged as he just waved her off, thankfully the guy thought he was pretty good at reading reactions, otherwise she could have been caught; she mentally kicked herself. Relying on luck was always a bad thing to do after all, it was too hard to predict. And so she moved on, heading out back on her way to meet up with her brother. That was plenty enough for today, she was getting messy.
