"Now you're thinking", Nathanael said. He continued, "and knowing that there is at least one elf of unknown allegiance here, I would rather get up on my feet and start moving than lie here and wait for you to be stabbed in the back. Though it would come as a relief at first, it could put me in an even worse position."

Only far enough that you can't see me... five feet in this darkness
, Nathanael thought with a grin.
But at least it seems like I got away
.
He began walking, slowly, making as much creaking noises as he could. Counting his steps and the distance carefully... three feet. Five feet. Ten.
I could burn her to bits...but not without the whole of Badlands knowing.
Fifteen feet away, he suddenly halted. As quietly as he possibly could, he turned to his right, took three steps and stopped.

Nathanael waited silently for a few minutes. He heard the human head away back the way she came.
That went well
, he thought and grinned.
After a few moments of further waiting, some sort of light could be seen not very far away. It was moving and flickering, like a flame, but it had a strange feeling to it. It came closer.
This time I definitely have the advantage...

The light moved closer, and a few moments watching it revealed it's approximate direction. It seemed like it would pass within a stone's throw from his position. Suddenly, the lights dimmed significantly, but they didn't appear to change direction or speed of travel.
A minute passed, and Nathanael began to recognize the light as a small but steady flame.

The travelling light suddenly went dark, and instead a pair of running feet sounded on the rocks. The footsteps were fading though, moving clearly away.
Even if I'm not going to set up an ambush, I can't stay here in the open
, Nathanael thought. No silhouettes or shapes of the terrain could be discerned, and so he had only two options; walk blindly in an arbitrary direction, or conjure a light. Neither were particularly safe, but he decided to take the risk of a blind walk, and so began walking in the direction he had last heard the footsteps before they disappeared.

Nathanael eventually came across some rising terrain formations, which he followed until he found a crack large enough for him to fit in. He pushed himself in and waited. Dawn would soon break.

"He speaks truthfully," Markoth said with a curt nod. "It's to the southwest of Ironforge. We can get there quickly, if needed."
Character
: Serenade
Location
: Valgarde Keep
The dwarf entered the inn, keeping an aura of casual arrogance about him, and sat at a nearby table. His hair and beard were both black, though his face was covered by a black mask, and the rest of him by a black, hooded coat. Several wires and speakers were looped into the bottom of the coat, which hung heavily off of his frame.
The bartender signaled him, but Serenade just shook his head and waited. A prospect would be there soon, and we wanted his mind clear.

Serenade took notice immediately as the night elf entered.
This is my prospect?
he thought incredulously.
She shouldn't even be out of Teldrassil. They expect me to take her to Azjol'Nerub?

"Coffee?" Serenade asked, gesturing to the pot on the table. "Biscuits too, if you're hungry."
