"Has it been that long mellon nin?" Airain asked. "Alright, you first. As it is, that you wish to find out what I have been doing." She said.

"We'll, I was a ranger the year after we parted. Then I got various requests for my skills. So I went back to my old business of spying. I only took jobs that were humane, no killing. So I went on with that for a year" Neal st.arted, But then I got this one request. He was going to pay me a fortune. I was already doing ok with my earnings. I charged about the same for each job. But no employer had actually offered an amount. So I went to meet him. The employer." Neal fidgeted. "And I did, I met him. He had stone dark eyes. Pale skin. Bony figuere. He looked like... like death." Neal stared at Airain. Not wanting to go on. But she did. She needed to confess. "He hired me, paid me half the money up front. I have never seen so much money. And it was only half. I gladly took it." Neal looked at her friend. She was dreading it. These next words. "Airain, he told me the name of the person, and he also put a condition. I needed to kill the person... but I still took the job, I needed the money. I wanted the money. He told me the name... the name was Rowena..." But when I went out to find this person, Rowena, I didn't know who it was. And then I found her. But when I saw this Rowena, I was scared... I saw you." I knew I couldn't kill you, you were my best friend when I was running away from my old past." So i fled. I ran. And now, 1 year later, I am sitting here with you. And I am scared...deathly, because I know i am not safe, not anywhere." Neal looked up, she was shaking. He's after me, and...and you..." y

Airain listened intently to her words and she could cleary see the fear in her old friend's eyes. Airain was not shocked, many people wanted her dead, she had made many enemies in her life over the thousands of years she had lived. But this person that Neal spoke of, sounded as if they meant business, and if Neal was that afraid of them, then Airain knew that this was no ordinary 'person'. "Neal, did you find out his name?" Airain asked calmly, she did not like that Neal had gotten involved in people's issues with her. She didn't want Neal to get hurt, but it wasn't Neals fault, she hadn't known that Rowena was in fact Airain.

"No... very few of my employers gave me their name..." Neal said. She looked at Airain. She was still angry with herself. She was hired to kill her friend. "But I think it was planned... I think he wanted me to kill you... but why?"

Airain sighed, she did not know. Even the description of the man Neal had gave her did not remotely sound familar.
"Neal, i do not think i have ever even met this man before. But he obviously has an issue with me. Many people do. So I have no doubt in my mind that he does in fact want me dead. So the question still stands, is why?" Airain said.
Although Airain did not think she had ever met the man before, she could tell that he was not like the others. He did want her dead, and he would do anything to achieve this goal.

"That man, at the bar he is staring." Neal said. She didn't have to turn around to know who was staring at her, she had noticed him when she first came in.

Airain sighed and nodded. "I am used to it, everyone seems to have a tendency to stare at me." She said, she could tell that her friend was very scared of the person who had hired her to kill Airain. "Neal, don't worry. I don't think that the man who hired you will be able to kill either one of us." She said, although she did not know the man very well.

Neal surveyed the pub. The hobbit lass was sitting near by. "Now Airian, what have you been up to?" Neal said changing the subject.

"I wanted you over here not just for helping me groom Silmaril, but I have a problem." Silmeriel admitted. "Someone's been hired to follow me. I know, I've seen the person following me, but I don't know who it is."

Elenanna looked at her friend and said, "But why would somebody follow you?"

Airain sighed. "Nothing as interesting as what you have been up to." She said laughing a bit.

Neal laughed slightly. It was true, these past 3 years had been hard and confusing.

"That's the thing- I don't know." Silmeriel replied.
