Diana sat in a small building just outside of the city of Aberon, facing the man in there. Outside, Serenity, her aquamarine dragon, who was still too young to ride, was watching the large blue dragon belonging to the man.
Diana heard what Caleb had suggested, and stared at him in disbelief.
"You really believe you can get into the capital and steal the dragon eggs right out from under Galbatorix?" she asked, "If you ask my opinion, it would be suicide."

"A suicide mission it may be," Caleb replied, "but one necessary for the Varden to succeed. I don't mind putting myself in danger, I just need a job inside the castle. I actually thought about pledging myself to the King, but then I would have oath upon oath, and then what could would I be?" he said.
Balvir, be nice to Serenity, Caleb said to his dragon.

Diana shook her head at him.
"I was planning all my life to escape from that place. For anyone trying to sneak in, it's a death trap. Nearly every entrance is blocked, and guards are all over the place. You are probably going to be caught before you so much as set foot through the door." She leaned over the table and stared at the maps of the castle she had drawn, pessimism building up in her.
Serenity shook her head to Balvir, looking slightly amused.
My Rider has little faith in her own abilities, she told him.

"Apparently so." Balvir replied to the small dragon.
"Look, Diana, I know that this will be dangerous. I'm thinking that I may have someone on the inside to help us, and if that's the case, then he'll be handsomely rewarded. I'll make sure the only one that's able to kill him is the King, I know very powerful wards that will drain from different palces. I just need more help on this, that's all." he said. He absentmindly fingered the sapphire in the pommel of Ba'Linger, thinking about all of the energy he'd stored there over the years.

Diana looked at Caleb disbelievingly.
"Do you really believe you can cross Galbatorix? He could kill you without a second thought. And I don't think you will have any luck recruiting anyone inside the palace. They are all dead-loyal to the king, for fear of their lives mostly." She looked back down at the maps.
"I would think the best chance you have is to sneak in at night. Most of the people are asleep at that time. A few servants may be up cleaning, though, so you will have to be wary of them." She sighed and pointed to a door on the map. "This will probably be the best place to go in. It's rarely used. It's hidden, though, so I will have to show it to you when we get there."

"Ok, sounds good to me. I wouldn't worry about me dying, I'm a little stronger than your giving me credit for. And as far as the few servants, they won't be awake long if they come across us." he said with a twinkle in his eye.

Diana smiled slightly, then nodded.
"Well, if you put yourself up against the king, you're on your own. So when do you want to leave?"

"We can do it in a week. I don't expect you to hold a candle to me, much less the king," he said truthfully.

occ:I thought you would want some company(so you wont have to talk to yourself) but if you had a plan I'll leave.
Fayr walked down the streets of Aberon as he whistled a merry tune.He knew he was drawing unneeded attention to himself and was creating some conversation over his eyes and the effect he was having on the environment around him. He had just sent an icy chill that was extremely hostile to a cut purse who thought he should take the ample purse from an unwary person.The cut purse ran away after meeting the wind and Fayr's unnatural eyes.He was hoping for another to come and challenge him he wanted some fun today.

OOC: it's fine. Caleb is actually kinda writing his own posts. I just have to stick them on here. He's sticking me with a bunch of work. But at least now we have something to do for the rest of the week. lol, because he insists we need to get supplies. Who needs to eat? lol.
Diana nodded to him, then said, "That will probably work. I will be ready by then. I have some things I need to do before we leave." She stood and walked to the door.

Fayr walked and to his enjoyment another cut purse,probably the leader,slyly ran through the shadows out of normal sight but Fayr easily picked him out.he payed no heed as if he didn't see him and the only warning the leader got was an icy,spine tingling chill as Fayr's form blurred.
Fayr blocked the man's reaching hand,pulled him forward,snapped his wrist, then wrapped the cut purse's own arm around his throat and suffocated him into unconsciousness.
"Nothing to see here people just a little lesson for the thieves," his calm voice resonating to all around and after saying that he continued to walk away with his normal swagger.

As Diana walked out Caleb suddenly caught fear from civilions around him. "What's going on here?" he asked Balvir, who had taken to the air now that his friend had left. He ran outside and heard another woman scream and ran to see a man holding an unconscious person. "What are you doing here?" Caleb asked.

occ:He dropped the man and walked away.
Fayr grinned at the man,"Nothing much just living," his voice carrying the hint boredom that was always their.His unnatural eyes met the man's and with his usual grace he casually walked past him his body nearly brushing the man.

"No, your trying to cause trouble." he said, rounding on the man. He didn't like people to start trouble, especially Dragon Riders

Fayr's laugh filled the area."Causing trouble,"he said in mock offense,"I was doing no such thing.I just handled a cut purse so you can say I was helping the world."Fayr's tone still had that bored tone but his eyes twinkled with mischief.His eyes did a quick scan of the man and his eyes made calculations on every movement of his body;the distance of his hands,where his sword was, movements of his eyes, and fingers.
