Zynoa smiled. "Of course she'd be safe. If she's anything like you we'll have nothing to worry about. If you need you can leave her with Gil and I. It's pretty safe here. I'm sure Kassis would look after her and keep his mouth shut if you asked him to as well. I know you'll make the right choice of what to do.

Nora stroked Abia's head, "How would I bring her back?" Nora stiffened, "I can't make a decision like this right away, I'll need some time, I planned to be here for a month or so." She smiled, "During that time I can learn more about this little child of mine." She paused, "And maybe some more about your child, and the way you live here. What time is it anyways?"

"That i'm not sure, but as you said no need to think of such things now. You just need to focus on recovering and looking after your daughter." Zynoa got up and took a peak at the large clock in the front of the healer's shop. "its about 11pm. You should really be getting some rest now, you did a splendid job so you deserve some sleep. I'll bring a cradle for Abia" She moved a wooden cradle across the room and set it beside Nora. "tomorrow we will get you some proper housing for when you're here alright?" She brought Nora a nightgown and a change of clothes for the next morning as well as fresh bedding. "I'll sleep upstairs tonight so call if theres anything you need okay?" She shifted Reina's weight and waved good night to Nora before retiring to the upstairs bedroom.
Gil hearing the door open turned around to see Zynoa walk in. "You look tired love." He got up and kissed her gently before stroking Reina's cheek with his finger.
Zynoa nodded in reply. "mmm, yes the excitement is starting to wear off now. Though you've also been up as long as i have. Thanks for waiting for me." She fed and changed Reina before settling her into a crib and changing herself. Climbing into bed she and Gil talked for a bit longer before Gil fell asleep. Zynoa smiled as she watched him breath in and out gently. Oh how happy her life was in this moment. With happy thoughts filling her mind she too drifted off to sleep.

"I suppose so, and thank you Zynoa for the bedding." She changed into her new nightgown which was gorgeous, but she intended, that while she was here, she would be doing some shopping, and see if she had enough money to purchase a house, if anything small, but something that would be large enough for when she came to visit. Now that she had her mind going she couldn't seem to fall asleep, with that though she found her bags and took out a book and headed outside, hoping Abia would stay sleeping. Smelling the fresh air she lead herself to a lake and sat down, she didn't even seem tired, with that she opened to a page in her book, a magic book at that, not to practice magic but to study it. She began reading, not knowing what time it was but reading nonetheless. Without even realizing it she fell asleep with her book beside her, cuddling into the book, lying on some grass.

Morning soon arrived and Zynoa awoke to the bird chirping in the yard. Gil had already gotten up to collect herbs and do his daily rounds. Yawning Zynoa sat up and picked up Reina who was just starting to make a fuss. Sitting on the bed and feeding her quickly Zynoa watched the town bustle below the window. Once Reina had eaten her fill Zynoa changed her. Lying Reina back in her crib Zynoa also got changed and headed downstairs. Finding Abia making a fuss and Nora no where to be found. Zynoa let out a sigh, Nora would have to learn there was more than just herself to look after now.

Nora, still sleeping, or had been sleeping woke up the bright sunlight, she took her book and began walking into town, where she would hopefully find a bookshop to buy a book. At the time being she had totally forgotten that Abia was in the house. As she walked into the town a young lad approached her wondering if she wanted some fruit, she was about to accept when she was approached by a young lady who wanted to know if she realized she was still in her nightgown. At that Nora freaked, she had never gone in public without her formal clothes on. "Thank you so much!" At that she rushed back, or tried to rush back, taking a while to find Zynoas house. bursting through the doors she let out a shout, "Zynoa you'd never believe what happened!"

Zynoa who had gotten Abia to calm down a bit by the time Nora returned shot the fox an annoyed glare. "Nora you can't just leave like that now! Newborns need to be fed every few hours, even at night sometimes. It's not just yourself you're looking after now." She wanted to say more but she held her tongue no use upsetting Nora over something she needed to learn. "Now go feed and change your daughter and put on your daytime clothes it's unsightly going outside in your nightgown.'

"Well, sheesh, if I didn't know any better I'd say you sounded like one of the generals of Esmela, do this, do that, why I never." Nora gasped for some air after speaking a long sentence. Either way she turned right round, scooping her daughter up, and just about started heading to the room given to her, "One last thing, I'm buying a house here in Altaria, I do have money afterall." She continued walking into the room allowing the thin door to close behind her, obviously being closed by her tails. "It's okay Abia, all you need to do is calm down, mum's here and I ain't taking no for an answer, here how about this," Nora used her magic to create a small black fox teddy, "How do you like that sweetie?" After Nora had finished feeding her daughter she once again used her magic to create a small outfit for Abia, it was light purple with silver outlining the tips of the legs and shirt sleeves, and had little gold slippers for her feet. "There you go sweetie, see mum's all prepared for this stuff." Nora got herself changed and cleaned before heading out of the room with Abia to meet back up with Zynoa.

Zynoa sighed, maybe she had been slight too abrupt with Nora. Then again someone had to. Once Nora returned Gil stepped through the door with a worried look on his face. "There's been an uprising in Esmela, some rebels groups attacked the capital a the other night." He turned to Nora. "I had heard there was unrest, but you're lucky you left when you did."
Clouds of dust and smoke blew across the startlingly empty streets of Janwyn as Kassis lead his team on patrol. Children peeked out of windows only to have their parents pull then back. Tension was heavy on the air. Attacks had still for the moment but the threat of another still lingered. In the centre of the city stood the mage school it's towers leaning dangerously to the side due to missing bricks. Some towers had collapsed all together crushing those who had walked below them

Nora stopped, pausing her breathing, silence, she needed silence to process what Gil had just said. "The rebels? Kadin and Kassis said that they were being held off just fine, how could it happen so suddenly?!" Abia began crying from the noise. "Abia! You're fine, shhh." Nora tried to calm the child down, "It's fine sweetie." Even though Nora said that, she knew it wasn't fine, how could it be? Not with Kassis' life in danger, what if Kadin died? What if Kassis died?
Naseema stared at the dust flying in front of her face, lucky for her it wasn't stinging her cheeks, her mask, her black mask covered everything except for her eyes. No dirt in her mouth at least. Except for the trash that was known as the magic school. They didn't agree with it one bit, how funny it is though, after all she herself was capable of magic, of course her mentor knew, but what he didn't know is that she practiced it in the caves in the valley of their hideout. It would be easy for her to crush some of the people if only she could be allowed to use her magic. However she wouldn't be allowed to, especially not since this attack was meant to be for attacking the buildings and not the people.

Zynoa put a hand on Nora's shoulder. "Don't worry I'm sure they'll be fine Nora." Even Zynoa knew her words were hollow in light of the current events. There was a good chance their friends might be dead. "At least you and Abia are safe here."
Rubble tumbled the the side of a building causing Kassis and his team to side step. "Keep an eye our for rebels, Its been too quite around here so they could be hiding."
A female tiger with a black jackal mask and dark brown hair walked up behind Naseema hand out a hand on her shoulder. "Admiring our handy work for the day? The school never saw us coming."
"Aysha, Naseema we need to get going, the guards are on the alert now. If they catch us together they might have the upper hand." A male white tiger with long silver hair that cascaded down his back adjusted his mask and cleared his throat. The mask was similar to the others but had silver marking and a blue gem on the forehead. His name was Farid and he was one of the youngest generals in the group. A brilliant tactition and loyal friend.
"Ah, Farid I thought I saw you following me. But yes we should return home and meet with the others."

"Who knows what's going to happen to them?!" Nora took in deep breaths, "If I was there, I would have been able to help defend the city."
"Sure they never saw us coming, but wasn't it a bit drastic?" Naseema turned away from the view and began walking ahead of Farid, eager to get to the base.

"If you were there you and Abia might be dead right now. So at least be thankful for that much. All we can do is pray to the gods to protect them." Zynoa tried her best to console her friend. At least the Esmela religion was something they both knew well.
Farid grunted, he had been against the direct attack. For a group who claimed to be for the people of Esmela. A lot of innocent people had been killed. Perhaps their sacrifices would lead to a brighter future. A dust storm had begun to kick up in the desert as the group got further away from the city. "Stay close, we don't want to lose anyone." Opening his mouth in the blowing sand filled his mouth with grit even with a mask on. Soon they were out of the dust and entering the naturally formed cave that served as their hide away. Those who had been wounded in the raid were being tended to by the medical mages. After being given a clean bill of health Farid went to his private quarters and took a long drink of water from his water skin to wash away the grit from his mouth. Setting his mask down on the counter he rubbed his eyes which were also dry and stinging from the blowing sand. Changing out his his battle gear he pulled on a simple pair on linen pants and sat down upon the wooden chair that stood in the corner of the room.

Nora sighed, "I suppose that's all we can do right now." Abia began to cry again causing Nora to hold her less tightly and sing to her.
Naseema was being checked by the mages for wounds of any kind but nothing had been found wrong with her, when she headed back to her room that she shared with others, she plopped down on her bed and took off her mask and dirty clothes replacing them with clean robes.

Zynoa nodded. "We should get you properly settled if you plan on staying here for a season or two. The inn above the tavern has room for now, though you'd have to pay or work there in order to use it."
Aysha has gotten a few cuts treated before returning to the room she shared with some other organization members. Yasmina the wild dog who's spotted fur was damp from bathing. Running a brush through her damp black hair she looked up and smiled slightly as Aysha. "You should wash yourself too the sand will make you itchy." Aysha nodded "I was planning on it of course." Looking over at Naseema she called to her. "Hey, let's go to the baths and get cleaned but before the dinner bell rings."
