*Quiss was working as usual, business was booming, patrons were drinking, the drunk men were shouting. Everything you'd expect of a tavern. He'd be talking to a Macen patron, exchanging small talk and filling up a tankard with ale.*

"That would be 50 coppers mate."

*Upon recieving the coins with a small tip he'd bow his head down slightly and smile at the macen, then go and attend another patron across the bar that had an inquiry about the pricing of whiskey.*
Ralph
*As we was attending someone, the sound of the hooves of a horse like creature sounded against the floor of the bar and a young centaur entered it, she had heard about this place from a couple of men nearby and decided to come check it out since they weren't any bars back at her tribe, she didn't knew if her horse part of would caught unwanted attention on her, she looked around looking for someone that could attend her*
Aurora
*Yae Kim lingered outside the bar for a bit, unsure of whether or not he wanted to enter. He wanted a drink, but something about taverns, and just how loud they were, always bugged him It didn't help that he always thought people were looking at him. However, seeing a centaur walk in, he figured he wouldn't really be the main focus now. He shuffled in awkwardly behind her, running a hand over his black hair. In his robes and black and white face paint, Yae Kim tried to make his way towards the bar, his eyes going everywhere, over each and every person.*
Kathleen
*Quiss would notice the two new faces walk into the tavern, he couldn't not notice, it was a centraur so anything around her also caught his eye. It was unusual for one to visit, so the tavern didn't make an anti centaur policy like some taverns do. He would turn to a man near the bar which he seemed to know well, making some hand gestures as he talked. A few moments later the man would look at the centaur and move away, clearing a decent chuck of space near the bar. Quiss would becon her and the man over, assuming they were here to drink.*

"Evening. Evening. What can I get you two?"

*Quiss would speak rather loud so that the patrons could hear, seeing that the tavern was already loud.*
Ralph
*Olive noticed the man behind her as he entered, analyzing him for a few seconds, but didn't mind it, she thought that it was just a coincidence and that he arrived at the same time at her, she turned her head to the man speaking to her also raising her voice a bit so he could hear her in the loud tavern*

"Good evening, I've never been on a place like this one before, what would you recommend me?"
Aurora
"Uh, a whiskey."

*He spoke a bit timidly, but loud enough to hear. Yae Kim wondered if his plan had now backfired, making him the guy that just walked in behind a centaur. Drinking helped him calm down, so that's what he came here to do.*

"Lot of people."

*Yae Kim didn't seem excited about this assessment.*
Ralph
*Olive decided in the end just to order bottle of cider, it was what sounded more familiar to her since they had that back in her tribe and she had tried it a couple of times, she went to the space that was cleared up for her waiting for her cider, resting her arms on an empty table*

*She looked at the man who previously had entered the bar behind her, she didn't care much about looks and she wanted to be friendly, so she smiled at him*

"You seemed to be hiding behind me before, are you afraid of something?"
Aurora
*Yae Kim scratched the back of his head, now realizing he definitely wasn't speaking loud enough for the bartender to hear him. He'd try to catch his attention when he could, though. He turned to the centaur speaking to him now, lowering the hood. Even then though, his features were hard to determine, covered with the abstract details of the paint.*

"Uh, not afraid. I just don't really like attention. It's hard to tell if someone needs something from you or just doesn't like the way your face looks, you know?"
Ralph
"I understand that feeling. Ever since I left my tribe, I gotten some weird looks from humans how have never seen a centaur before, I usually don't mind, but sometimes, it's hard to ignore them completely"

*For her, it seemed like was this man was really afraid was being judged by others, she didn't really understand why*
Aurora
"Well, I apologize on behalf of the humans. Or at least the Air Macen. I'm Yae Kim. To fish out of water."

*Yae Kim said that as some kind of small toast, then realized he had still not yet gotten a drink. He grimaced a bit at his own awkwardness, looking towards where the bartender was, still trying to get his attention, though he looked busy. All of Yae Kim's words still came out quickly and meekly, even if he did seem slightly more comfortable now.*
Ralph
"Thanks for the apology, I'm Olive Spirit and you should probably speak louder if you want to be heard in a place like this"

*She had noticed how he was shyly trying to get the attention of the bartender of the place, without any success, her cider was brought to her and she stopped the bartender from getting away while he asked if she needed anything else*

"Yes, this gentleman was trying to order something..."
Aurora
"Oh, I was just going to order a double of whiskey, if it's not a pain."

*Yae Kim was thankful that the centaur turned out to be as kind as she was. Normally, when people pointed out how odd Yae Kim was acting, they did it out of annoyance. Since he was no longer vying for the bartender's attention, he scooted his chair over towards the centaur a bit, content to wait for his drink.*

"Do you travel a lot?"
Ralph
"Well, recently yes, I've traveled some places seeking for adventure, but most of my childhood I spend it my my tribe with other centaurs, what about you?"

*Olive took small sips of her cider as she spoke, Yam seemed nice so far, maybe this was her opportunity to finally make a friend outside her home place*
Aurora
"Well, funnily enough, our pasts seem similar. I was in a small village for most of my young life before joining on a caravan that went back and forth, letting me see a bit of the country. Good amount of fun."

*Yae still watched around them cautiously, trying not too look as paranoid as he always was. However, Olive had been friendly, so he at least had no problem speaking to her. His drink, or atleast, he hoped it was supposed to be his, finally reached him. He eagerly took a sip.*
Ralph
"Huh, curious how to two people who seem totally different from each other can have a similar past..."

*Olive could see how he still seemed a bit paranoid, she was worried that maybe he had been followed or hurt in the past, but didn't have any evidence of something like that happening to him*

"No one will hurt you here, what are you so afraid of?"
Aurora
*Yae Kim gave a slight laugh, looking from a guy with a knife scar on his eye to a guy holding a big knife, both joking around and playing darts.*

"If you spent more time in taverns, you'd know that's not exactly true. And I'd really just rather have my dog around right now, but I'm pretty sure they're not allowed inside."

*Yae Kim reached up and scratched his face while he took another drink. The paint came away a bit where he scratched, and he looked to Olive, matching her gaze.*

"Feel like no one's watching my back ,you know"
Ralph
"I usually wait for things to appear like a threat to me before I judge... Wait... You have a dog?"

*It wasn't a usual thing to have pets in beastkin tribes, Olive had only seen a few pets since she began traveling but she thought that they were cute*

"Could I maybe meet your dog later?"
Jesse
*Sofia had been traveling for a while now, exhausted from all the walking, Crimson was on her right shoulder, even for a micro-griffin, he was starting to feel a bit heavy on her shoulder, so she decided to enter the first tavern she saw. She went to the bar and was surprised when she saw a centaur for the first time of her life but tried not to show it, she went up to the bartender and asked*

''Is it okay if I keep my small pet with me? And can I have one beer please?''
Aurora
"Yeah, that'd be—"

*Yae Kim stopped speaking when he heard the woman talking about her pet. He had seen her come in, the way he worriedly scanned the room every few seconds. He leaned towards Sofia.*

"I think so, but small animals and drunk people don't mix that great. If you want to leave your little friend outside, I can have my dog watch it."

*Three birds with a mere stone. Yae Kim scooted back so Olive could see, noticing her fascination in her dog and wondering if it extended to the griffin.*
Ralph
*Olive saw the small creature, she had never a griffin, and neither one that was that small, she was fascinated by the small creature, she turned towards Sofia, leaving her cider on the table*

"Excuse me? What species is your pet? It's so cute!"
Jesse
*Sofia wasn't expecting that answer and Crimson shrieked faintly*
''Aight sweetie, First, I think it'll take me more than one beer to make me drunk, Second, I prefer keeping him with me and third...''
*She raises an eyebrow* 
''Who are you? It's not like we just met but yeah we do''
*She lift a finger up in the direction of the centaur* 
''Wait''
Aurora
"I wasn't meaning you. I meant every other drunk patron here. Your bird, though."

*Yae Kim squinted gaze went from Crimson to Sofie, then his own glass. She had a fair point, it wasn't really his business. He just wanted an excuse to have his dog around, even if just outside. All the while, Yae Kim was seeming less paranoid, now that he was engaged with two people instead of idly putting around in his own mind.*

"I'm Yae Kim, this is Olive. We just met, and we're getting along pretty well."
Ralph
*Olive didn't understand why this woman pointed at her but she didn't mind, she walked towards her*

"As he said, I'm Olive, sorry that we interrupted so abruptly..."

*Olive was fixated on the small creature, she wanted to pet it but didn't knew if it would be rude to ask*
Jesse
*Sofia smiled with a sorry face, clearly seeing she was a little rude back there for a first interaction with someone, or at least she felt that she was*
''Oh, that's nice, My name is Sofia Vernimières, I know weird last name... But what are you two doing round these parts, I wasn't expecting to see...'' 
*She looked at Olive with a clueless face*
''I-I'm very sorry, b-but what are you?''
Ralph
*Olive was surprised that she didn't knew what a centaur was, maybe it was just because she hadn't visited anywhere near the beastkins tribes before*

"I'm a centaur, never heard of my race before? We're pretty common around where I come from"
Aurora
"Well, where you come from is also where centaurs come from, so I think you might be a bit biased..."

*Yae Kim was muttering now, the deflated tension making him antsy again. He would often just ramble, somewhat unconsciously. Yae Kim finished his drink and figured he'd soon feel more social than he did now. He looked back to Sofia, forcing a bit of a smile.*

"My last name is Ool, so I'm not judging."
Ralph
"There's different beastkins where I come from, not only centaurs, around that place, you guys would be the weird one since you don't have any animal parts"

*Olive giggled, it was a fair reasoning, since centaurs usually stayed with their tribes it was at least rare to see one traveling alone like she was doing*
