Sven stepped out of a building, which was being used as his sleeping area for the time being, until he acquired a place of his own to sleep. It was mid day, and still unemployed, and contactless, he decided to wander the city. He walked to the front of the warriors school and looked at it with some admiration, and some hatred. Admiration in that some of the best warriors had been turned out by this place, but hatred in that he had never gotten a chance to go. Quickly he shrugged the though off and walked on. He slipped into an inn, and to the corner table, looking around, hoping he could find someone who needed some help, or, if possible, have someone come to him, in a drunken stupor or completely sober, he cared not.
Always wary of people he had his scimitar at his hip, and his dagger at his side. His coat sagged to the floor, and his boots tapped impatiently at the chair they were propped up on, as if someone he were looking for was late.
~~Gil steps into the bar, smiling and looking cheery, his largeframe, familiar to most people of Grorr, filling thedoorway as he waves a greeting to everyone present and makes his wayto his usual spot at the bar. He is in his usual long white coat, his weapons concealed within as per usual. he sits and orders a drink, making small talk with thelocal man next to him~~ _________________ I don't mean to point any fingers but....It was all Ralean's fault!!
~It comes down to nothing more than apathy.~
The Barmaid approaches the stranger in the corner. She gives him a welcoming smile and flicks her long hair away from her face.
"Care for Ale or wine, sir? We've got rum too, if thats your preference."
Tries to avoid a nearby drunken male customer who reaches out for a grope. _________________ "Storyline is like a rollercoster. Just sit back and enjoy the ride...and hope you don't fall out."
Sven watched as a well built man wearing a white coat walked into the bar. His dress alone caught Sven's eye. It was something he wasn't accustomed to seeing. As he watched the man walk to the bar his gaze was interrupted by the barmaid, now blocking his view. He acknowledged her, and in a polite voice said
"No thank you, I am quite set for now."
He finished his remark with a smile, and waited for the woman to leave, so he could get a better look at the man in the white coat.
=Asriel enters shorlty after Giligian, greeting the room withacharming smile. he moves fluidly to an unoccupied table, ignoring the looks from other patrons. he was dressed in rather flasy clothing.a jester's motley of red and black, which on his slim, muscular body looked rather charming, more than foolish. his silver-white hair is pulled back neatly, and his bright green eyes catch every movement. a thin-bladed sword is at his hip, opposite a long bladed dagger. he carried himself like a man of means, and wore his weapons with practiced ease. as he notcies Giligian, he grins, remembering him, and calls out to him across the half-empty bar. "Giligian! My friend! will you join me for a drink?"= _________________ Am I a fool or a liar? If I say that I'm neither I'm one. If I say I'm one I'm the other. If i say I'm both, I'm either.
She didn't notice that Sven was distracted, nor did she care. She placed her hands on her hips.
"Sorry sir, if you don't buy a drink, then you have to leave. Its the boss, its his policy." _________________ "Storyline is like a rollercoster. Just sit back and enjoy the ride...and hope you don't fall out."
Sven watched another man, dressed, in his eyes, a bit eccentrically. As the man walked to another table Sven, once again interrupted by the barmaid, smiled.
"Well then, if thats the case, a glass of wine please." The man was back in his view and sat down at a table within earshot of his. He heard the man call to the other at the bar, and though the words were muffled due to the extreme volume of the bar, he caught what he thought was the mans name. Though, he wouldn't jump to any conclusions, he simply sat and pondered, these two men seemed a little out of place to be in a bar, at this time a day none the less.
She nods with a warm smile, and leaves Sven, approaching Gill and Asriel at the bar.
"Is it the usual, gentlemen?"
She makes her way around the bar, still making conversation.
"Hows Duke Ralean doing, Gill? Did he go to that nice and fancy ball in Meriddia?"| _________________ "Storyline is like a rollercoster. Just sit back and enjoy the ride...and hope you don't fall out."
--Patient footsteps led the Patryn down the streets of Grorr, hands buried deep within the pockets of the grey pants he wore, only slightly baggy around the length of his legs. A hooded jacket barely reaching the waist of his pants clung to his built torso, large hood drawn in a lazy fashion over his head. Head tilted, he stared at his feet as he walked, grey eyes narrowed dangerously as thoughts clouded his mind.--
--Moments passed and he would reach the bar, stepping up to the door and pushing it open with his left hand. Stepping inside, he shoved it closed without ever bothering to look around. He needed to get away from Merridia, and he had. Stopping at a table amidst the room, he would only look to the blazing fire as he removed the jacket covering him. On his left side hung his sheathed blade swinging idly with his every movement.--
--Beneath the jacket he wore an armored jacket, the top having a collar that covered his neck, the article of clothing fitting snug to his body. It had no sleeves, neither did the shirt he wore beneath it leaving both arms entirely exposed, their every inch covered in intricate Rune tattoos each linked to the other. Draping the jacket over the back of his chair he sat down with a sigh, elbows resting on the table hands moving to leave his fingers curled within silver hair.--
--He never muttered a word, grey eyes gleaming dangerously as he stared across the room.-- _________________ I'd rather be called weak, then die thinking I was strong.
As Sven was monitoring the two men and the barmaid he caught site of another man who had entered the bar. The man was quite different from the other two, he seemed more dark, more, dangerous. He carefully studied the man as he took off his jacket, and noted the body armor and the weapons. It was as if the man came to kill and no other purpose. Sven fixed his gaze upon the man, but tried looking as inconspicuous as possible, before turning his gaze back to the other two gentlemen.
~~Gil grins at the barmaid, andnods. "aye, the usual, for both i would assume." he looks around, and catches sightof Haplo, and grins. he vaguely remembered the man from the war, and such, but couldn't rememberhis name. he waves to get Haplo's attention~~ _________________ I don't mean to point any fingers but....It was all Ralean's fault!!
~It comes down to nothing more than apathy.~
=Asriel smiles and nods, clapping Gil on the shoulder in a friendly gesture. His green eyes catch Sven's gaze, and he holds the look a moment knowingly, and smirks.= _________________ Am I a fool or a liar? If I say that I'm neither I'm one. If I say I'm one I'm the other. If i say I'm both, I'm either.
~Ral opens the door to the bar, stepping inside, holdingitfor Jared as helooks around. he spots Gil and Asriel and raises a hand in greeting.His expression turns to one of mild surprise when he sees Haplo~ _________________ "Failure is not in my eyes, but in the eyes of others.

Sven, notices hes been caught with a wandering eye, quickly shifts his gaze. He understands that he has been caught, and in a scene such as this, when caught giving the wrong man the once over you could wind up in the gutter. After a time Sven let his gaze shift back towards the two gentleman. Slowly Sven lowers himself down and rests his head in his hands nonchalantly, as to catch more of the conversation. These men were obviously nobility of some sort, and as with anyone of higher class, they have a certain aura about them that draws one to want knowledge. Too concerned with the first two men, Sven didn't notice the other men filing into the bar.
=Asriel ML Sven: "You know, stranger, ifyou'reinterested in what we have to say, you could share a drink wth us" he still smirks, keeping his attentionon the whole bar= _________________ Am I a fool or a liar? If I say that I'm neither I'm one. If I say I'm one I'm the other. If i say I'm both, I'm either.
Sven ML Asriel: "Well, I'd hate to be a bother, and frankly, I'd feel out of place. After all, I know none of you. But it is a nice gesture, and I thank you for it." Sven leaned back in his chair again, making sure it tipped against the wall.
=Asriel grins to himself and shakes his head, ML Sven again: "Strangers are only strangers until introductions, friend."= _________________ Am I a fool or a liar? If I say that I'm neither I'm one. If I say I'm one I'm the other. If i say I'm both, I'm either.
=Asriel rolls his eyes, returning the ML: "and what, pray tell, are you suggesting with that statement friend?"= _________________ Am I a fool or a liar? If I say that I'm neither I'm one. If I say I'm one I'm the other. If i say I'm both, I'm either.
Sven was a little caught off gaurd by the statement, after all, he meant no harm. ML Asriel: "Sir, I mean no viciousness, simply stating that you seem to be of a higher status than I, and to be graced by your presence would be an honor, but an honor I am surely undeserving of."
=Asriel laughs out loud,shaking his head in amusement before returning the ML: "None here are of noble stock, save thetwo that just entered. pray tell, what is your name, and then join us sir. we are but humble men in good circumstances."= _________________ Am I a fool or a liar? If I say that I'm neither I'm one. If I say I'm one I'm the other. If i say I'm both, I'm either.
Sven let himself down and stood up, walking casually towards Asriel. "Names Sven, its a pleasure to meet you. " He said with a smile and an out reached hand.
=Asriel stands and clasps the man's arm in a warrior's salute."My name is Asriel, sir." he gesturesto Gil. "This is Giligian."= _________________ Am I a fool or a liar? If I say that I'm neither I'm one. If I say I'm one I'm the other. If i say I'm both, I'm either.
~~Gil turns, and grins broadly, offering his hand in greeting. "well met, Friend! come, have a drink with us!" he gestures amiably to aseat atthe table~~ _________________ I don't mean to point any fingers but....It was all Ralean's fault!!
~It comes down to nothing more than apathy.~
Sven gives them both a great smile, nodding to Gil, and takes a seat. "In all my years I've never seen people the likes of you men, its refreshing actually. I'm glad to meet both of you."
~~Gil chuckles. "its very flattering of you to say so friend, althugh ido regret to tell you that we are just simple men, and not worth much praise."~~ _________________ I don't mean to point any fingers but....It was all Ralean's fault!!
~It comes down to nothing more than apathy.~
Sven nodded with a smile. "Aye, but it is the simple man who deserves the praise. You may be simple men, as am I, but you seem to be great men in character, and after all, isn't that what counts?"
~~Gil nods and grins. "you speak very well friend. where do you hail from?"~~ _________________ I don't mean to point any fingers but....It was all Ralean's fault!!
~It comes down to nothing more than apathy.~
"Thank you, and I'm from around this area. Born just outside the city here, lived in near poverty, shunned from the rest of society till recently. But, grew up in Grorr."
~~Gil grins and nods. "I myself am relatively new to grorr.in fact,to aegis itself." he brightens, and gestures to where he just notices ralcoming in. "and that,my friend, is Ralean"~~ _________________ I don't mean to point any fingers but....It was all Ralean's fault!!
