Though Sinbad was talking to her, Bryn was still watching Caipra in her eyes...No need words to see the fear and the confusion in the mind of the young sorceress. And she was probably seeing the same thing in Caipra's mind. The old sorceress could feel that Rongar seemed to understand a little what was going on, but Firouz and Doubar didn't know anything and were beginning to get impatient. She had to do something to calm everyone. She was the only one who could control the situation right now. She approached Bryn and put her hands on her cold and livid face. "Don't worry dear, You're here now that's all that matter." She looked at Sinbad who was next to her. "Please Sinbad, help her going inside the tavern. It's cold here." She let the captain bring the young girl inside the tavern. She cast a glance toward the dark and silent street where Bryn probably came from, before following the others.

Bryn was still looking in the knowing eyes of the wise woman. She tried to oblige her eyes away from her grasp, but her weary eyes did not want to obey her. When the old woman approached her and touched her face she felt another wave of guilt squeeze her soul. She was afraid that with the continuation of this situation, she will confess every thing. The things that she really did not have a trace about their identity. she felt her legs began to betray her and threatened to collapse in any second. Suddenly she heard a noise behind the old woman. There were her mates. Stood at the border of the door, looking at her with deep concern and thousand of questions fighting through their eyes. She stood frozen in her spot, and she felt her tongue stuck within her mouth. All the curious and concern eyes fixed upon her. But unfortunately her weary mind mistaken those concern glares with accusing ones. She searched for her voice to say something, when she noticed Sinbad for the very first time standing next to her and murmured something she could not get. Her heart sank deeply within her ribs by seeing him. There was all her crew mates standing, demanding answers. She heard Caipra ask Sinbad to help her inside but when he tried to approach from her she felt herself unconsciously retreated from him. And a wave of nausea and heat began to cover her. "Here we are, in front of your beloved friends. Show me now how you will explain yourself." Again this sarcastic voice echoed in her mind. She winced and a faint horror gasp escaped her lips. She looked at all her mates and the old sorceress. Her vision began to blur again and she felt the whole earth spin madly. She tried to concentrate but she felt her whole body from head to toe began to tremble violently this time. All this horror, physical and psychological stress overwhelmed her soul and body. Through her feverish view she eyed her mates weekly and whispered "I…..i.am sorry" before letting her body collapse and the darkness cover her.

Firouz watched with wide eyes as Bryn seemed to grow white and in slow motion began to fall right before his eyes.
"Bryn!"

Rongar saw her begin to fall.
But he knew he was to far away to reach her; Sinbad was closer in anycase.
To rush in and try to catch her would make him rush into Caipra and Sinbad causing even more problems.
Instead, he spun lightly around on his feet, and made his way around Doubar.
While he couldn't help Bryn just then, he could get her bed ready while Sinbad or Doubar brought her back inside the Tavern.
He just had to find Kriss.

She had been acting strangely all the time which had caused the captain to eye her carefully. He had no idea what was up with her but something had obviously happened. As far as he could tell (and that was a relief) she seemed unharmed, but he knew from experience that harm did not necessarily show. Not in a world where some were able of magic and where some of these might use that magic for bad things. Like harming his friends.
Then he saw her fall. With her eyes rolling back and her limbs turning weak, she seemed to sink to the ground in slow motion and at the same time too fast for him to fully take in what was happening. He wasn´t standing that close to her, but when he rushed forth, without thinking, he was just in time to catch her limb body, avoding her to hit the solid ground. She had already been half way down so he had to nearly dive after her. His boots scratching over the dusty ground, the captain went to his knees as well, but managed to catch her in the last moment.

Doubar saw with his eyes growing wide what was just happening right before them. The slight tremble Bryn's body had already shown a few moments ago intensified while her face took on a disconcerting pale colour. Her last words came out as a whisper and had Doubar not concentrated on them, he wouldn't have gotten the sorry she sent her mates' way. And then she fainted. Being too far away to help, Doubar could do nothing but watch the brunette fall until her limb body was being caught by his younger brother's arms. Seeing Sinbad kneel at the dusty ground now, with Bryn lying still in his secured grasp, the first mate barely noticed Rongar rushing inside and leaving his friends. Doubar could only guess that the moor instinctively had had the same thoughts as he did now: they had to bring Bryn somewhere where she could rest - away from the chilly night breeze that entered through the opened door; away from the curious gazes the other guests in the tavern sent their way. Before he even thought about it, Doubar felt his legs move and drag him closer to his brother and the fainted sorceress on the floor. A silent and worried "Bryn!" left his mouth, before his puzzled gaze came to lie on Caipra. For a moment he locked his eyes with the wise sorceress' ones, allowing her to read in them all the still unanswered questions he had: What in the name of Allah had happened out there? What was this all about?, and above all the one whether Bryn was okay.

Aniel slept as an little angel. His mother kissed his forehead as gently as she only could to not wake him up. She took her knife and hid it into her sandal. The archer always wanted to make sure that she is not weaponless. She smiled once again at her son, opened the door and went out.
When Kriss was going downstairs form her attic she saw someone in hall and decided to check it out. It was her new silent friend. He was looking for something, looked upset, worried. "Need any help?" she asked him.

Rongar's head shot up at the sound of footsteps and a new familiar voice that belonged to the person he was looking for.
He looked at her and nodded with worried eyes.
He pointed to her, placed his hand between his nose and chin (to give height), made a curvy shape (female),and then placed his hands together under his head like he was sleeping.
He didn't know if she'd understand, and the crew wasn't with him to translate, so he hoped she didn't take offense to the signs because they could possibly be offensive...

Caipra saw Bryn fall. She reacted to late but fortunately, Sinbad catched her before she touched the floor. She knelt beside them and touched Bryn's forehead. "She's hot," she said. She rose and fell nose to nose with Doubar. The first mate had joined them in seeing Bryn fainted. He was watching the old sorceress, his eyes showing the numerous unanswered questions he had in his mind. Caipra felt bad. She knew that she was the only one who had the answers to those questions, but she didn't want to answer them now, and Doubar didn't like that. Caipra touched the arm of Sinbad's brother and answered to one of his silent questions. "I'm sure she is fine, she must be tired and she needs some rest. Please, help your brother bring Bryn inside." She didn't expect Doubar to believe that Bryn was just "tired", but that was all she could tell him right now. She smiled to him and let him join his brother. She turned to the door and saw Firouz, but no signs of Rongar. "Find Kriss and ask her for a room." She asked the scientist.

Doubar heard the elder woman’s words; he felt her warm and reassuring touch on his arm and still he didn’t believe in anything she said. This simply could not be Bryn just being tired. He had seen the terror in his friend’s eyes before her senses and her body had disobeyed her … he knew there was more behind it. But in contrast to how he had reacted earlier on Caipra’s denial of sharing the knowledge she all too obviously held, the first mate now felt he had to accept it. One more moment he let his piercing gaze lie on her face – absorbing her tensed and yet so caring features - before he moved to follow her advice. Doubar knew that, whatever reasons the wise sorceress might have for keeping whatever she knew a secret; he would endorse her silence. At least for now.
Swiftly the big man took the few steps that still separated him from his little brother and the unconscious sorceress and knelt down on Bryn’s other site. Carefully he slid his left arm under the hollows of her knees while his right one moved to secure her upper back; making sure at the same time that her head would rest safely against his chest. Doubar then briefly locked his eyes with his brothers’ and nodded slightly, before he moved to slowly rise to his feet – thereby lifting the still form in his arms gently off the ground and easing some of her weight off of Sinbad’s grasp. “I think Rongar already went to ask Kriss for Bryn’s room”, Doubar mumbled as a late response to Caipra’s last words, while his gaze strayed from his captain to the brunette’s still far too pale face.

Sinbad gave a nod at his older brother´s words, his brow furrowed in concern. He wondered what was up with the young sorceress and where this had all of a sudden come from. In a moment, their conversation that mornign flashed back into his memory. Bryn had told him about a warning she had gotten from Dermott. He inwardly cursed himself. He should have let down his guard and he shouldn´t have let her wander off alone. Suppressing his inner voice that he wasn´t that good of a captain lately was becoming rather difficult right now. "Then we should see to her getting some rest as soon as we can." he replied, standing up carefully to support Bryn´s weight. His brother was helping which he was grateful for. Not because Bryn was heavy or anything but because unconscious her body had gone totally limb with was making her very difficult to carry. Caipra, he thought. If anyone knew something about all this it would have to be Caipra. He made a mental note of asking her as soon as possible.

Firouz had left immediately after Caipra bid him go, so he didn't heard Doubar's late response.
But, he did know that Rongar had bolted up the stairs, and hoped he could reach his friend and help translate to Kriss.
As he made his way up the stairs, noting absently that they weren't very wide, but they weren't thin in anyway; Sinbad and Doubar might have a problem manuvering Bryn up them though.
When he got to the top, he saw Rongar and Kriss at the end of the hall.
Rongar looked to be trying to tell her something.
But all he saw was Rongar's head tilt to the side with his hands under one cheek.
He wondered if Kriss understood Rongar at all.
Only one way to find out.
"Rongar! Kriss!"

While watching Rongar's nervous gestures, Kriss just opened her mouth and didn't know what to say. At first she thought about something more dirty but he looked too upset and she quickly put that mind away. The archer tried to concentrate and find out what her silent friend wanted to tell her. Then she heard someone called her name, she tured around and saw familiar face. "What was happened?" Kriss said loudly. She really started to worry and had hope that someone finally explain her what was going on.

Rongar breathed a sigh of relief as Firouz came up from behind Firouz.
He gave a flurry of hand signs to explain what he had been trying to say to Kriss, and felt his tense shoulders relax as his friend nodded and turned to their new friend.
Firouz looked at Kriss and answered her demand, "Rongar was trying to tell you that Bryn collasped. We need to find her room."

The archer was watching two men who were giving a sings to each others and she was becoming more and more concerned. The whole situation was really disturbing. She wanted some explanation and it came.
When Kriss heard Firouz's words she became more nervous and couldn't clean up her minds but finally she said "The room? Yes!...Here" she pointed the door. "But what happened with her?" brunette added and looked at new friends with concern in her eyes.
