Euric's Spy

[Flex]

"Well that doesn't sound good." He thought for a moment. "Well, if you want some serious work then perhaps I might help you. That is of course if you have to resign from your current work."

[The Smith]

"You are offering me a position?" Isabella looked surprised then smiled, "I will have to think about it." She winked at him and asked, "Would you believe I was the Black Witch?"

[Flex]

For a moment Euric was startled. "Since I know nothing of her I wouldn't have anything to match what I know of you against her."

[The Smith]

Isabella laughed and laid a hand on Euric's shoulder, "You need not worry ser. She is Lady Bettley. It is what people call her on the streets. I have a far way to reach before I am as knowledgeable as she."

[Flex]

Euric sighed silently. "Well, have a think about my offer. A target like Lord Lannister might be enough to get you established."

[The Smith]

"I will. Is that what you intend me to do? Go to Casterly Rock." Isabella studied his face carefully.

[Flex]

"Absolutely. Lannister has been causing problems for us from the start and we need to know just how deep his roots are."

[The Smith]

"I have heard of Lannister and he will not hire a servant to work in his quarters who does not have three generations of family who also worked at Casterly Rock." Isabella smiled in appreciation, "He is a master as well. I would like to help you, but I would be severely outmatched."

[Flex]

"What if I try finding you some help for this?" He then thought. "Perhaps you'd prefer going after some of Thatcher's agents? Senior, that is."

[The Smith]

Isabella studied his face closely, "Why do you trust me so fast? I am just a dirty street rat. I come from below the worst layer of scum in the city?"

[Flex]

"To be honest, I do not know." Euric replied. "But I need someone to trust. Perhaps I am making a stupid mistake and I'll not wake up tomorrow but I'll have to live with that." He sighed.

[The Smith]

Isabella suddenly blushed, and looked down at his boots, "I... do not think I could do that even if there was the offer of a good position. I know I was told I may have to... indulge the fantasies of a target, but I am not ready to do that. I escaped Flea's bottom with out having to resort to that, so I had hoped to continue." She put the glass of wine down.

[Flex]

"Oh, I did not mean... that." He said quickly. "But anyway, I assume there's already someone out the wanting me and various other people dead so it doesn't really matter who does it." He downed his wine. "I am sorry for making you feel awkward."

[The Smith]

Isabella closed her eyes and replied the scene in her head, "I am sorry, Lord Hand. I misunderstood. I am so sorry. I was thinking about your gentle hands..." She shook her head, "I apologize. I just overreacted. Can you forgive me?"

[Flex]

"There is nothing to forgive." Euric replied with a faint smile. "But have a think about what I propose. I am inclined to trust you..."
