And that is why I'm offering it to you. Quick as a whip.

[ was someone sitting in this chair next to you? no? cool. peter moves forward just a bit, taking a seat, all the while his eyes benignly shift between sarra and her companion lounging at her side. he's never seen her without the dragon really, even during missions. he's careful not to move too quickly while taking a seat, merely leaning back and crossing one knee over the other. ]

A little bird by the name of Dagger told me that you're in a bit of a bind and could use some...

[ he waves a hand vaguely before resting his elbow on the arm of the chair and using his knuckles to prop his chin up rather thoughtfully. this is not a lie, as much as peter would have liked it to be. dagger isn't frightening per se, but he is stranger than anything peter has come across before. but extra credit is extra credit and peter figures he can share. ]

Supplementary. Missions. Nothing too difficult mind you, but a little practice never hurt anyone and our team leader has a few errands he needs run before we leave planetside.

( oh. well. she can't help perking up at the compliment,sitting up slightly higher. it's an obvious tactic, but one she's perfectly fine buying into, at least for now.

charis, on the other hand, is highly suspicious, watching sigourney with narrowed eyes. despite being a personable silver dragon, charis is unhappy about the circumstances he and sarra find themselves in, and it's made him wary and protective. for those he knows and approves of, he is an adorable, friendly, slightly overgrown lizard. for strangers, he is an intimidating beast. as sigourney sits, he moves closer to sarra, climbing almost entirely into her lap. sarra hardly even reacts, simply shifts herself so that he has more space and rests her hand on his head, scritching her thumb behind his small horns. charis isn't really a lapdragon anymore, but he always wants to be, and it's hard to say no to a dragon, so sarra's given up trying. )

I wasn't aware Dagger was so interested in me and my bind, ( she says finally, thoughtful. dagger is... hard to get a read on. she's not always sure if he really wants her on his team or if he wants charis and simply sees her as the price he has to pay to have him. regardless of who it is he wants, though, dagger has apparently seen fit to send her "help" and, well. she doesn't really want to see what happens to people who refuse gifts from dagger. )

What kinds of errands?

[thieving]

Squandered potential perhaps.

[ peter eyes the little flash of movement in sarra's lap, keeping his hands in his own, exactly where they can be seen. from what he's observed, charis has quite the mind of his own and he would rather remain as much on the "ambiguously neutral" side of his temperament as he can. tolerated, at best. he looks her in the eyes and offers her a non-committal shrug at that. ]

Reclaiming some documents. [ he says it with a smile, knowing it's not completely an answer. ] And along with that, a lesson in distracting the target here and a little lecture in liesmithery there and we should get through it all with flying colors. Completely harmless stuff, I assure you, but all necessary.

( squandered potential. yes, she can see why dagger would accuse her of that. there is much more she is capable of than she has brought to bear here, that dagger has noticed as much is unsurprising. that's probably the only reason she's still here, really. if she didn't have more she was capable of, he'd probably have given up on her, dragon or no. )

So I wouldn't have to hurt anyone? We're not being sent off to be assassins?

( sarra's relationship with violence is a strange one that not even she always understands — she saves the lives of goblins and dragon eggs, and then turns around and kills human cultists and hobgoblins without thinking. it's not something she really knows how to justify, but she follows her heart as much as she can. if it feels wrong, she doesn't do it, if it doesn't trip her morality meter, well, it's probably fine, right? being an assassin for dagger is probably one of those things that would trip the morality meter, but reclaiming documents she can do.

the others... )

Distraction and liesmithery? Does Dagger want me to be a spy? I'm not sure I know anyone less suited, honestly. Have I mentioned how terrible I am at keeping secrets?
