"......" *Shifts weight. Then looks up, locking eyes with the man* "Let me ask you this. Dose it make sense to you for him to be fallowing me if I was out to get him?"

". . . I never said anything about you being out to get him. Why was he trying to kill you?"

"I.." *Her eyes drop to the floor* ".... I have something he wants." *She says softly.*
The orcish man lowers his voice to match hers. "What do you have?"
*Tasha takes an apprehensive step towards the door* "That is none of your business. How do you have the right to question me like this?"
He sighs. "My job is to maintain order among Dalibor's army, and keep them out of trouble. Right now, since we don't appear to be going anywhere any time soon, that includes keeping order in this town, since the mayor's not doing it. Your friend Blake made it out to sound like you were after him. Now, what I've heard so far makes me inclined to think there's more to the story than that. But based on your behavior I'm not exactly seeing a reason to trust you any more than I trust him right now, so why don't you give me one."

*Seems to be weighing her options.* "It's a valuable jewel that my mother gave me right before she...." *Swallows hard* "...Before she was killed."

"Okay," says the orcish man, "I think that's all we have. You're free to go."
