Group role-play: Search for Information (Aewyr, Kerowa)

Kerowa | Aewyr | Aewyr

Kerowa
Kerowa sighed as she sifted through the reports that had returned. Nothing. No news at all. Normally no news was good news, but in this case, she was puzzled. The only daughter of the Margrave Duldrith, albeit a minor noble, runs away and there is no news of it and no reports to attempt to find her. She had even asked through less legitimate channels to see if perhaps the Margrave was embarrassed and used less public channels to find his daughter. Still no news though. Kerowa sighed as she thought again of the promise she made to Aiviey. Margravine Aiviey she reminded herself.
If only she could get help with this case. She was still new to the area and to the politics and wasn't as comfortable with finding out information as Sha-Dar Gares or Aran. A promise was a promise though and she was daughter. Kerowa smiled slightly. How better to find information than to go straight to the source. Kerowa nodded slightly. She would go in the morning. She glanced around the dining hall and smiled slightly at all the newer recruits.
'Hm.. Aewyr has been training pretty hard lately and has been fairly sheltered. Perhaps she would enjoy the journey. I’ll ask Aiviey.' she thought. After a quick consultation with Aiviey, who rather liked the young excitable Aewyr, Kerowa approached Aewyr.
'Aewyr, I'm going to be making a trip up north to ask around for information. Would you like to accompany me?'
'Oh yes! When do we leave?' Aewyr exclaimed happily. Aewyr was happy that here she was accepted as a full member of the clan.

Aewyr
Aewyr hummed quietly to herself as she packed a few canvas bags full of food and blankets to tie up on the horses in the morning. She was rather excited about taking a trip outside the city of Camaar and hadn't really thought to question why Kerowa had asked her to leave with her. After she finished tying up the canvas sacks she sat down in a cot and began to contemplate.
'You know, I've never really thought about why Kerowa asked me to tag along,' she thought to herself aloud. 'She said she was seeking information, but for what? And what part in this do I play?' She knit her eyebrows and began furiously chewing on her nail as she thought about this question. 'No matter,' she said with a sigh, 'I can always ask her tomorrow. I should probably sleep.' She leaned back in the cot, slowly easing her mind from it's unanswered question and drifted off to sleep.
The next morning turned out to be a bad start. The air was wet with dew that was brought off from the sea and the sky was overcast and gray. Aewyr and Kerowa set out through the cobble stoned streets of Camaar just before the city awakened. They were a few leagues away from the city by the time the golden rays of sunlight peeked over the horizon.
'Kerowa,' Aewyr began, huddling deep within the folds of her heavy woolen cloak to warm herself, 'What is it exactly that we're doing? What information are we seeking?'
The little Rivan woman waited a moment before speaking. 'You know of the Margravine" Aiviey, correct?' Aewyr shook her head. 'What's a Margravine"?' she asked. She had a very limited knowledge of kingdoms and nobility. She lived her entire life in a close-knit society of nomadic Algars. Permanent establishments like kingdoms and royalties never really applied to her and she had a very vague understanding of them.
Kerowa looked at her quizzically, but after a moment seemed to understand Aewyr's disposition. 'Well, a margrave is like a lesser noble. They are still rather important in the grand scheme of things. Aiviey is the daughter of the Margrave Duldrith, but she fled from home to avoid marriage.'
Aewyr's eyes went wide. 'Surely marriage can't be that terrible.'
Kerowa sighed and began explaining the details about the royal society and about arranged marriages. Aewyr listened intently, but seemed boggled by the whole concept. 'In any case,' Kerowa said finally, 'I'm trying to find out what is going on with her father... Why he hasn't set out any reports searching for her... Just find out about this situation. I made a promise to Aiviey that I must keep.'
Aewyr nodded and left it at that. They kicked their horses forward and headed north toward Sendar.

Gares' contribution: "Adventures".

Aewyr
Kerowa and Aewyr arrived in Sendar with the blazing afternoon sun beating upon their backs. They were both weary from travel and agreed they would make for a tavern for some rest and a cool drink.
Their travel so far had been pleasant and turned out to be quite an awakening for Aewyr. She saw new lands and new ways of life that intrigued her and was constantly plaguing Kerowa with questions. The little Rivan responded with patience and a vast supply of wisdom that one would never expect. Her small stature and sunny disposition made her appear childlike and often times Aewyr was caught by surprise at how much Kerowa really knew about the world. In some ways, Kerowa became a mentor to Aewyr in skills beyond ordinary sword fighting, but more than anything she became a friend. While it would seem than an Algar and a Rivan would make an unlikely pair, they bonded easily. Aewyr's youth naturally made her quite excitable and it mixed well with Kerowa's bubbly personality. Laughter emanated from them as they traveled through the dusty roads of Sendar.
After tying up their horses, they entered a dimly lit tavern to relax and happened to meet a Toldnedran woman known as Hafwen. She asked to accompany them on their pursuit for information on the Margrave Duldrith and the two travelers accepted. They continued their evening with Hafwen and Aewyr becoming greatly inebriated and where they also met the Rivan man, Joran. As the evening quieted, the three women set off for sleep to ready themselves for their travels that would continue to Northern Sendaria the following morning.
