[DL-N] What you don't know can't hurt you.

"I'm Naomi, who are you?"
Rain studied her closely, well as closely as he could, laying down in
bed. She appeared to be very wise for her years, with a no nonsense
attitude.
"Lady just give me my clothes, and my stuff, and I'll be out of your
face. The Faster I'm out of here, the safer you and yours will be."
"You're not going anywhere young man, you are not in any condition to
travel. You managed to get yourself nice sized wound in your fight."
"Well it doesn't concern you any lady, just give me my stuff, point me
to the nearest Warren and I'll be out of here. Those few thugs that I
managed to off? More will be on their way, but you don't need to
concern
yourself with why they are chasing me, just let me leave."
"First off, as I said before, you are in Norwall Warren. You were
spotted by one of our patrols, and picked up after you had killed the
sixth thug. Second off, I will have you restrained again if you attempt
to move before that wound is healed enough for you to attempt walking
even. Finally, quit calling me lady, my name is Naomi, or Warrenlady
if needed."
"Fine, I'll stay a little longer, but only untill I'm healed enough to
stand on my own two feet. I'm only making it easier for certain people
to find me, and I'm losing money by not being able to treasure hunt."
"How long have you been treasure hunting?"
"About five years, its kind of a gift I have. I just need to touch
something,or somewhere the item has been, and then I can pick up vibes
off the item. I can generally tell which direction the object is from
me by concentrating. Don't get any funny ideas though, this is how I
make my living."
"Could it possibly work for finding people?"
"I don't know, I have never tried it before, why?"
"Nevermind, just curious. I'll be back later to check on you, get some
rest."
With that Naomi wandered out the door with a thoughtful expression on
her
face. Rain in the meantime lay there perplexed as to why a total
stranger would be so kind to him, being neglected all his life as he
was.
Finally Rain fell into a fitless slumber.

NRPG: Tag Les, hope I played Naomi alright, still getting used to this
type of Rollplaying. If you want, you might be able to convince Rain to
help find the "missing" person who was kidnapped, sorry couldn't
remember
her name.
