"Oh blast," Faust cursed as he skidded to a halt outside the door, confronted by the pair of riders. His cane lashed out, pointing its butt towards the pair. "Kindly move!" he ordered, a low, dismal mist beginning the froth at his feet like the foam of a wave.

The spirits made no response and continued to bar the path of the two with their unearthly pressence. Morec continued to fight his way through the crowd, and was now only a yard or two away from reaching them.

"Well, I asked nicely," he consented. With a gesture the fog at his feet lurched up and forth like a pair of striking cobras, coalescing into a pair of ethereal shrouded human and elven figures, features tinged blue with the cold of death and eyes white and unseeing. With a snap their mouths ripped open in soundless screams as they fell upon their spectral opposites, clawing fingers attacking the horsemen in desperate, frantic assaults.
"Let's be off," Faust said quickly as several people who had been on the streets began to scream at the sight. Pulling Ava, he passed the mounted pair while they were occupied and the center of attention, sprinting down the street.

The spirits fought back and tried to move to intercept Faust and Ava, but they managed to elude them as they slipped into the crowd. They dispersed as Faust's creations tore them apart, defeated but far from destroyed. Morec broke out into the street at this time and, with a scowl on his face, twisted around as he looked for them. Nowhere within sight from the ground he began to summon Spectral to chase after them from the air.

The two spirits slumped in their victory, despondent. Soundlessly, they were dragged through the air by some sepulchral force, compelling them, the ghosts losing their definition until their defeated features dissolved to a fog completely.
Faust looked around, making sure he wasn't being watched before breaking from the crowded streets, dragging Ava away and onto the sidewalk. Instantly, he struck a more casual and easy pace, looking more a passing high end merchant or noble than the man who had just started a bar brawl and was on the run from a homicidal death knight.
"So, a library hm? Do you work there or merely use its resources?" he asked the elf casually, nodding with a grin at a passing couple of soldiers. Faust glanced at his feet as a thin ghostly mist slipped from the sky to circle slavishly around his legs, dissolving into nothingness in an instant.

"Both," Ava said, breaking loose of his grip and walking alongside him. She glanced around to make sure she saw no familiar faces. There would be no doubt that they would ask questions as to why she was walking with this man.
"We need someplace to hide," she said under her breath.

"My! Women certainly are forward these days," Faust proclaimed. "I have a room in the Eventide," he whispered beneath his breath.

Morec flew circles around the streets on Spectral's back, looking for the woman and the... whatever that man would turn out to be. The crowds were very thick in places and he focused on those spots while looking for them, but never once did he spot them. Time to resort to drastic measures...
"A HUNDRED GOLD PEICES FOR WHOEVER BRINGS ME THE MAN AND WOMAN THAT FLED FROM THE LEDGERMAIN LOUGE TOGETHER!" he yelled out to the crowd. "AND ANOTHER HUNDRED FOR EACH LIMB STILL ATTACHED TO THEIR BODY!" That should get some heads turning...

"Yes, I would love a date tonight," Ava said, veering off toward the Eventide. She heard the shouts of Morec behind her that were dangerously close to their position. Something had happened between these two, and Ava was caught in the middle.

"Wonderful. I do hope to see you at the Commerce Exchange tonight," Faust told her with a smile as he kept stride with her. His sharp green eyes noted with frustration the gaze of a few of the more mercenarily inclined people following them with thinly veiled interest.

"Yes yes. It's a date."
"Split up. We'll meet at the Eventide."
Ava quickly turned a corner in to one of the dark alleyways of Dalaran. Hopefully it would disperse the mercenaries who were undoubtedly eyeing them. She sensed a figure walking behind her, following her every turn.

Faust continued down the street at an easy, carefree pace. This lasted until he managed to gain a fair distance from where he had split with Ava, at which point he entered one of his favourite haunts, a small scale family owned cafe.
Five minutes later had the smiling man slipping out the backdoor, hurrying down an alleyway and a roundabout route to the Eventide.

Morec had spotted Faust as he had so foolishly continued to remain in the streets and he dismounted and followed him at a good distance at the cafe. Upon seeing he was not in the place he too headed for the next logical exit - the backdoor - and followed the already-emerged Faust to the Eventide.
The mercenary that had been following Ava went into the Eventide as well, keeping an eye on her and a hand on his dagger. He slowly approached her to take her hostage for his reward.

"Ah to be the Fibonacci,
curling into infinity,
zero one one two three,
ah to be Fibonacci."
Faust sang to himself lightly, twirling his cane carelessly as he wandered down the alley towards the Eventide.

Ava paused a few paces ahead of the mercenary behind her. She slowly pulled out a small coinpurse and stuck her arm in it, literally. The mouth of the coinpurse was up to her elbow, and Ava quickly rummaged around for something.
Then, as quickly as she had taken it out, she dropped the coinpurse from her grasp, revealing a heavy, textbook sized book entitled
How to Handle Toxic Plants Without Killing Youself
. Ava swung around and aimed the bludgeon at the mercenary's head.

Morec continued to follow Faust at a safe distance, keeping as hidden as possible.
The merc took the book to the head and fell to the ground, but it failed to knock him out and he lunged at her with the knife. His attempt was to jab the blade into her hand and get the book out of it to leave her deffenseless to take her hostage.

Ava gave a high pitched squeal and raised the book in defense of the knife. The knife sunk its blade to the hilt in to the fleshy pages of the book. Without thinking another thought, Ava dropped the book and ran in to the crowded square of the Eventide. She frantically searched for Faust, watching for the mercenary behind her.

"Oh blast it, there's always a damn crowd," Faust groused as he stepped into the Eventide proper.

Morec walked up behind Faust, and stepped around him, disspearing into the crowd before he could be noticed. He made his way through the group, searching for the woman while keeping out of Kaufman's line of sight. She would put up far less of a fight.
The merc pushed his way through the crowd, finding the woman again quickly and reaching for her with his bear hands.

Ava screamed as the mercenary grabbed her with his
