Nyra quickly looked down at her plate. "I'm sorry," she murmured, for more reasons than one.

Jaclyn shrugged, expression still stoney. "Nothing you can do," she murmured, voice dull.

Nyra bit her lip again as she looked between Jaclyn and Jamison, then back at Varen. He glared at her out of the corner of his eyes. The sorceress shifted uneasily in her chair, wanting so badly to tell the two what Jyrra had told her during the visits she'd paid the Charter Mage. But she'd sworn that she wouldn't say a word. "We're keeping an eye on her," Varen promised to Jamison. Then he smirked and nudged Jaclyn gently with his elbow. "And on this Charter Mage, too."

Jamison gave a weak smile, glancing from Varen to his sister. "I'm sure..."

Nyra smirked, fingering the folds of the scarf she'd purchased a few hours ago. She glanced outside again, figuring that it was about mid-afternoon. The time here had passed by quickly, and, to her dismay, she realized that they'd have to leave when it got darker out. Varen was thinking the same thing. But how could he bring himself to seperate the two siblings again? He decided that he didn't have to worry about that matter for a while. At least, not until they had to go. Nyra picked up her plate and walked over to the sink to wash it...an act to distract herself. She also was able to get a better view out the window this way. She let her gaze sweep over the busy streets below, wondering how people even managed to find their way around this town. She was still awed at how large it was. "Are things just natural for you here?" she asked Jaclyn and Jamison over her shoulder.

The siblings glanced toward eachother, and smiled. "I suppose," replied Jaclyn. "We've always lived here..."

Nyra shook her head in disbelief, still smiling as she put her plate with other dishes to dry. "So what did you guys do for fun around here? Outside your work?"

Jamison shrugged. Jaclyn blinked, and replied, "Well, sometimes there are festivals, or traveling performers who come through... There's never a dull moment here." She smiled, and glanced at Jamison. He returned it with a grin, and then added, "Well, you know... There is a traveling circus in town tonight."

That caught Nyra's attention. "A traveling what?" It took her a moment to process the information, and she laughed in amazement. What else did this town have to offer. Her eyes danced with excitement. "Are you serious?"

Jamison grinned at her, catching onto her excitement. "Of course!" Jaclyn giggled, and asked, "Could we stick around, just for tonight? It would be fun!"

Varen hesitated, feeling Nyra's pleading gaze set on him. The plan was to be back when it was dark out...If it got too late, he knew that both he and Nyra would be too tired to transport them all back. He wasn't entirely sure that Jaclyn knew how to, either. Then again, they could always say that their task took longer than they thought. It was a risk, but neither he nor Nyra had done much to spark Xoran's suspicions about them...It was only a small risk. He glanced back at at Jaclyn, then at Nyra. "Okay, sure." Nyra ran over and hugged him. Varen grumbled and pulled away from her, though his eyes glinted with amusement. The sorceress grinned. "Awesome! Sounds like fun!"

Jaclyn smiled, watching Nyra bounce about. She blinked as the sorceress went to give Varen a hug, and she felt a strange urge to do the same. But she knew it would just embarrass them both, so she kept her arms to herself. Jamison's grin widened, and he looked out the window, judging the time. It's was still a couple of hours until dusk, when the performance would begin. There was also a little pre-show festival type thing, but it's start was still a ways off. "What shall we do in the meantime?" he asked, looking back to the group.

Nyra looked out the window. "I don't know," she said, still smiling. "I don't live here, so I wouldn't know."

Jamison laughed softly, and replied, "Well, name something random, and I'll tell you if we can do it. There's a lot to do here- I'm sure we could figure something out."

"Can we..." Nyra trailed off, trying to think through the excitement. "Um..." Silence. "I'm really not sure...Why don't you name a couple things to choose from?" she suggested.
