"That's a good point too..." *Tsuya nodded slowly and rubbed her chin. Extra resources for research in exchange for teaching others about the awesome and amazing art of making super expensive gizmos did seem like a sweet deal.*

"Well, I guess we'll see what happens!" *The oni shrugged and grinned.*

*Once Sirdan started eating, Tsuya eagerly followed suit. It would become clear the hesitation wasn't for lack of interest.* "Mmm... This is so tasty! I'll have to remember what this dish is called." *She tilted her head to the side at his inquiry.* "Spirit magic, sure. But not arcane magic. I can only imagine how hungry people who use both of them get..."

"Mhm! Well. Then I'll introduce you to the rest of my companions after we finish the food here - The last group we had didn't stick together, so you'll find they're all new faces to you." *Sirdan would continue devouring the food.* 

"This is gyro rice - or just the rice they serve at the Hombaxian shop, really, I don't think there's a name for it. I believe it is cooked with butter and chicken broth, and a spice I am not too familiar with." *Sirdan then cast his eyes toward the kitchen, spying on the Hombaxian cook.* 

"It is important to practise with your magic everyday so you can eat up three people's share of food." *Sirdan chuckled. It didn't take long before the rest of the food was obliterated by Sirdan, and he would wave over a waiter to pay his bill. Just a mere eight copper,*"Would you like any snacks or appetizer? Or are you full?"

"Sounds good to me!" *Tsuya agreed with a nod as she finished up her portion of the meal.* "Hmm, what are they like?"

*The Oni made sure to commit the dish to memory in case she ever saw it at another shop along her adventures. It sounded like there were different ways to make it—and that was good. More variety! She chuckled along with Sirdan's comment about magic and nodded in agreement.*

"That should be good for now. Thank you for the food."
Jennie
*Sirdan then sipped on the tea, which was generously refilled.* 

"Hmm... Let's see. I'll start from the top. Myhan Strong. Never learned his actual name, I oughta ask. He's a Titan who was working as a mercenary and became a baron of a domain just opposite mine. We're working together, and he summons and ride a beast that's even bigger than he is and charge into battle." 

"Cuo, a Runran girl who is really four people in one, she has a much more experienced harpy mage binded to her called Garuda, who hsa a fox spirit binded to her called Loki, who has a... Snake binded to him... Her... It? Called Chroma. Fights in war with magic." 

"It gets complex and weird." 

"A..." Sirdan paused a bit, looking for word to describe **The** Priestess,"Weird and strange priestess called Sol. She's Reptilian. Also a mage and spiritbinder. I'd be a bit careful around her. I can never get a reading on her."

"And then there's Yuuka Haya... Haya... Hira... Ugh, I forgot her last name. She's a arquebusier from Runra. She's a rabbit, and she likes carrots. No, really, that's all I know about her so far."

*Tsuya nodded slowly and listened with intent as Sirdan explained the different characters of his party. They almost seemed stranger than the last bunch they'd adventured with. Or maybe that was just due to the spin Sirdan was putting on it? Regardless, the oni was sure they'd be more than capable of holding the front while she summoned her construct to wreck havoc on the battlefield.*

"They sound like a curious bunch... I can't wait to meet them!" *She smiled, then cast a glance towards the door.*
