Aalam was still in the castle watching how everyone was walking around and moving; he was paying extra attention to how the servants would approach people of a higher rank. There was always that bow and a bit of a shudder. It was a process to try and get that accent, which was the most challenging part of the entire thing. They rolled there Rs more that he was used to be but it was still the standard Astorean language the NPCs spoke back in the kingdom. He had been placed in a tight situation, the job wanted him to kill Zeus, but Zeus was a man hired by the kingdom to help deal with the bandit problem. However he couldn't allow the man to succeed entirely, it would give the Pride too much control of the Northernmost areas. The bandits had to take care of. However, there was no question about that; if there were left unbroken, then it would bite the country in the ass.
While the others were debating about the job itself which was childish, if you agree to do a job then you have decided to get it done. So while playing half attention to the conversation, his eyes drifted towards the bottle on the table. It seemed that while many people where content to look at it or talk about it no one had yet moved it. When he had read the message that had reached him from the Service, it compounded he believes. He would need to hurt the Bandits through weakening king, but the fact they wanted him alive was interesting. It could have been that they had a plan for the long term that hinged on the man’s survival. He did have a complete of the map of the bandit entire fortress that would be of great benefit. As it showed the locations of the alchemist study and every entrance to the castle, taking the bottle of the table as they were being shown down to the passage draining away the liquid that was in the flask. He made sure that he brought up the back of the group, they didn’t need to see what he was doing pouring out about a small amount of the poison in the flask and then recorking the bottle. Stopping to watch the rest being lead back down the tunnel, however moving to a position in the shadow. He had an interesting job; now he had to poison the King. The amount he added should be enough to weaken the man well enough, and even if they caught that he was poisoned, the treatment would weaken him considerably.
However, he needed a new uniform and then to get him to drink some of the mixtures, all without someone knowing that he was still in the castle. He also needs to convince the man to move into a more secure area one that would allow for him to be extracted if the job went terribly. This passage that they were being shown would be the best option to ensure that he wasn't killed.
Action: Attempting to keep out of sight and find a uniform locker, so as to have a better disguise.
