`"Long... Ears?"` *She softly questioned while putting a hand on one.* `"Are they really that long? I'm no high elf, Nia! Else I would've captured you two and enslaved you already, haha, ha!"`
*A joke about slavery, really? But she didn't expect anyone to laugh from her very bad sense of humor, she knew it was bad. The dark elf would've then reacted to the centauress' statement, pointing toward the felinid show-off who praised her biceps.*
`"Warriors for sure, but I guarantee you I ain't got those muscles under my heavy armors!"` *She teasingly replied.*
*And then, the food war started. Kemendriel didn't know where to look at, as the two bestkins were clearing the bowls and plates at a crazy pace, while she was only at halfway of her own meal. For sure the seafood stew was fresh, and made with a traditional savoir-faire, but she didn't want to burn her pretty lips again.*
*She would've eventually tried to say a thing, but she lacked the words to do so. Where did they put all of this food? Or... How much activity did they have to do so? Even the finest male elf warriors didn't eat that much.*
*Anyway. The drinks joined the fray, and the young lady would've timidly toasted with her invitees before taking a little sip.*
`"So... What did you exactly mean about 'business'... Kalie, right?"`
*It seemed like she already forgot her main purpose in the port. Perhaps the naga scrambles with her head, or was it the two gloutons which monopolized her attention now?*

*Nia was in a cat's equivalent to valhalla, feasting and drinking at the banquet of warriors while commoners could only stand stand far from them, she laughed at every joke actually, even the one about slavery. She was a good audience for jokes and stories as she'd always give big reactions to the most mondaine things and laugh even at the most stupid of puns. All was well for her, shoveling the delicious food down her throat, complimenting it wildly in incomprehensible words and generaly having a gay ol' time!* "Buisnessy buisness!" *Said the laughing felinid as she ordered an extra round of beer for the three of them even though Kemendriel was far from done with her wine and meal.* "Right! Aim slitterin' me bawface here but we got some talk to dae ain't we?" *She sighed after laughing so much trying to be a bit more serious and in the moment, she had drank quite a bit but as still not intoxicated at all, alcohol seemed to have very little effect on her.*

*For a split second, Kalie pauses with her mug mid way to her mouth when Kem makes her joke, and she tilts her head slightly toward her, with a curious expression on her face. She doesn't laugh, but she doesn't react badly either, merely.. Watching the elf for a moment. Light green eyes study the girls face, and then with a small shrug of her broad shoulders, she looks away and tips her mug back, downing the entire drink in one go. She brings her cup back down onto the table with a clink of metal against wood, then flips her hair back, leaning one elbow on the edge while she decides which plate to start on next.*

"Buisness. Mhm! You see I'm in need of some temporary travelling companions. Someone capable of looking after themselves. I approached you two, because well.. You fit that description. You need help carrying equipment, I need someone to watch my back for a while."

*Another drink is poured, which Kalie swiftly brings up to her mouth for a long sip.*

"I don't ask just anyone, by the way. You both clearly aren't just peasants. But, I won't pressure you to make a decision. If the answers no, I'll be on my way, and nothing is lost, hmm? I believe we could make some money together, quite frankly, but I said, it's only a suggestion."

*Oof, nobody took her job badly. It was more of the contrary for Nia, as she seemed to like simple things: food, beer, bad jokes, life in general. She would've felt a bit intimidated by the emerald eyes that gazed on her though, but not for a big while.*
*The elf would've finally finished her stew by now and took another sip of wine. She nearly spitted it when Nia ordered another round while counting her!*
`"Hey, Nia! I don't drink beer! And remember, drinks are on me!"` *She gently grouched.*
*She couldn't have allowed Big Cat to pay for everything!... And speaking of business, the armored lady would've let her fellow centauress explain her ideas and would've taken a brief moment to think about it. Surely the offer was tempting, as it wasn't everyday you could've met a centauress proposing an alliance. Plus, the three of them seemed like three strong mercenaries. Plus, she needed money. PLUS! She needed means of transport for her armor.*
*When she realized that it would've been the perfect solution to her problems, she hit the table with an iron first.*
`"Yes! That's a good idea!... I mean... I'm interested."` *She exclaimed a bit too loud as her golden eyes sparkled. Though she managed to contain her excitement quickly.* `"I used to be a guard for my hometown, but I'm indeed searching for some action nowadays. And you guessed right, Kalie! I was indeed searching for means of transport... So afterthought, I consider this offer very tempting."`
*As her speech ended, Kemendriel felt something pouring on her pants. She quickly moved her glance and realized far too late that she spilled her wine glass when she previously thumped on the table.*
`"O-Oh no! Crap... What a dumbbell I am!"` *She grumbled at herself while rubbing her pants with a hand - although it was an even more stupid move.*
Ruby
*Nia Looked at the Dark Elf for a second with a perplexed face.* "N-No beer eh? Guess Imma the extra and get toasted!" *She laughed in high spirits as always* "Aye, Ai can pay for the extra I down Don't ya worry!" *She said as she began drinking a large mug of beer, finishing it in only a few impressive gulps she slammed the cup on the table heavily making the whole thing tremble and shake a bit.* "Sorryyyy~" *She chuckled, right after this the Centaur Kalie made her little speech while Nia wiped some liquid off of her whiskers and mouth with the back of her hand, when that was done she licked the said hand like a cat would and then turned to the Centaur who had finished talking and giving her proposition. Nia didn't seem to ponder for very long about it.* "Aye Aye! I'm in Horse Lass, it's a nice win-win int it?" *She smiled widely.* "Ma head's minced bout' the start off ma journey but Ai took the role of mercenary over six years ago so I'll have yer back no sweat!" *She said proudly sure of her words but not full of herself.* "To celebrate! More Beer, on me this time 'round!"

Oop, l have to post later on after work

*This was going better than expected! The two of them were earnest, honest, and quite excitable it seemed. Kalie knew the type; she had worked with such people in the past, along with more sinister types. Yes, this would work, she thought quietly. She smiles slightly, and raises her mug in a small toast.*
"To our new alliance! I'll drink to that."

*Kems' wine trouble catches her attention, and the centaur makes a sort of huffing chuckle, a horsey little noise, and she shakes her head with an amused grin.*

"That will make it worse. I suggest dabbing at it with a damp cloth. Either way, it's going to stain."

*The elf didn't seem to handle her booze very well. Or perhaps she was just a little clumsy? Nia on the other hand was clearly a professional drinker, and was already putting away an impressive quantity of beer.*

"I look forward to working with the pair of you, then."

*With that, she finishes her next drink in one (again), then waves over a waiter, nodding to Kem. The man hurries away to fetch something to help clean her off, and of course, more beer.*
