*Ralki would enter the tavern to get some beer and pasta, which was 'Stanky Rat's' speciality. She would wait for her order to be finished, she would know that the meal would be amazing since she had been here multiple times before. Actually wouldn't the last time she ate here be a couple years ago? It doesn't matter, hopefully the food hadn't degraded over the years. She would sit down onto a stool, tapping her fingernails onto the table in impatience.*
Henry
*Xeno enters the tavern taking off his cloaked hood. As he walks towards the counter, he asks the bartender for one mug of beer. As he receives the beer he looks around to find an empty seat. Xeno takes a sip and judging by the expression on his face, he enjoyed it. Xeno walked toward an empty seat, setting his drink on the table and took of his cloak and layed it on his lap. He looks toward the lady.* "Is this seat taken?" *He says with a warm smile.*
Michael
"Nope! You may sit there if you'd like." *She would finally get her meal and beer, she really wasn't waiting that long, just impatient. She would down her beer in 1 go, then would take a fork and start eating her fettuccine alfredo, tastes excellent as always.* "Can I get another beer" *She would ask, then she would turn to the man who would be sitting next to her and asks* "What's your name?" *She would then quaff the beer she had gotten in 1 go yet again.*
Henry
*His expression, shocked. He had never met a lady who drank mugs of beer like it was nothing.* "A-ahem. My name is Kenpachi but you can call me Xeno or Ken. Its way shorter." *Showing no intimidation, he chugs all of the beer in less than 10 seconds.* "Im guess you're an alcoholic too. Hehe." *He grins, not feeling any bit drunk.*
Michael
"Nice to meet you, Ken. My name is Ralki." *Ralki would notice that he would be chugging all of his beer, possibly because he felt like an inferior alcoholic, despite her not even being a common drinker* "Y'know there's no reason to compete... With how fast you can drink alcohol, seems like a silly thing to compete with." *Ralki doesn't argue that she isn't an alcoholic, mostly because she did not care in the least. Actually Ralki wouldn't have met many alcoholics in her life, only one was prominent enough to remember from time to time.*
Henry
"Nice to meet you to Ralki." *He shrugs.* "I guess you're right, it is quite silly, but enough about that. What brings you here?" *He asks as he rests his head on his arms. Gazing at her, with his bright red eyes.*
Michael
*What brings Ralki here? That's sort of a silly question, what other reason than food and a place of lodging, but anyways the answer would be simply because she was peckish.* "I was just hungry, then I remembered that this tavern was in the area so I decided to get pasta and beer here. Speaking of which, I'm going to order another one" *She does so and orders a beer,* "They don't make the best beer here, though, I've been to plenty of other places with much more majestic beers." *Definitely the beer in Elivuk would be better than the taverns here, but it's not terrible, honestly.*
Henry
"I see, I just finished a bounty and I'm here to spend it on beer and food. Hehe." *He stands up and walks towards the counter to ask for another mug of beer and fettuccine.* "I figured, I'd get the same food as you did since I dont know much about the menu and I tend to be indecisive when eating." *As he carries the mug of beer and a plate of fettuccine on his hand to the table. He inhales the sweet aroma of the fettuccine. As his face slowly turning smug, he eats the delicious pasta.* "This is really good." *He talks while eating the tasty pasta. He quickly grabs the mug of beer and starts drinking. Inhaling air and exhaling.* "I almost choked." *He says clearing his throat. He sighs.*
Michael
*Ralki loses her composure for a couple seconds, with a face that reads 'I am definitely going to laugh, but I can't otherwise I'd be rude', though she managed to regain composure quickly. Damn that was the funniest thing she'd seen all day, she hadn't been doing anything fun today so she really could laugh about anything that was remotely humorous.* "Sorry about that, I was about to laugh. Don't worry you did not look like an idiot I just had a boring day today and I could laugh at just about anything."
Henry
"It's okay, go ahead and laugh. If its funny, then nobody's stopping you. Plus I like making people smile . . . Even if I did look like a total idiot." *He drinks the rest of his beer. He looks at her.* "I don't mean to be nosey but, what race are you from?" *He asks as he crosses his arms, his eyes looking at her curiously.*
Michael
"Because I'm short, right? I'm a macen though some people say I have lora blood, because I can't get drunk and that I'm short. But why do you ask anyways?" *She doesn't get why he would have to ask this question, but she should answer all questions honestly. But asking why he asks should be no problem here, she's curious about the reasoning of his question, perhaps it's purely because that she's so short, which would be funny at the very least.*
Henry
"Well no, promise you won't laugh but . . . You kind of looked like my younger sister. Your hairstyle looks exactly the same as her. Heh." *He says looking embarrassed. Smiling, at the thought.*
Michael
"I do? That's sweet! What's she like, anyways? You speak of her positively, she must be a nice person." *Ken seems like a nice person, she hadn't met many Oni in her life, only once or twice. Anyways Ralki is curious about his little sister, since he said that she looked like her.*
Henry
"Mhm. Indeed she was. She was kind and brave too. She was really spontaneously and outgoing. Whenever I felt down she would always be at my side, asking me what's wrong." *He looks down at the table. A tear of sorrow, drops from his eyes and unto the table. He sniffles and manages to pull himself together.* "She was one of a kind, though I wish she was still here. Sorry, I'm getting emotional. I'll just stop talking about her." *He gives a warm smile, similar to what he gave her before.*
Michael
*Ralki scrunches her face, in a way where it would be clearly saying 'maybe I shouldn't of asked', but alas it was a mistake and we just have to move forward.* "So anyways, you're a bounty hunter, right? Nice to meet you, I'm an adventurer, I am quite a strong one at that!" *She starts bragging again, which is normal for her.* "Though my main profession is pottery, so yeah, I'm also really good at that."
Henry
"Im a bounty hunter. That's correct." *He relaxes into his chair, listening to her talk.* "I see, I bet you are quite strong. Maybe one day you could make me a mug to remember you by." *He grins.* "I should probably get going. I have a big bounty to hunt tommorow. Thanks for the talk, I appreciated it. *He smiles at her, while putting on his dark cloak.* I hope our paths cross again, Ralki. For now, I'll see you around. *He says then turns towards the door and walks.*
Michael
"See ya!" *Well that was a nice exchange of words, Ralki figured out that she has a look-alike, possibly dead but she doesn't want to assume anything. Hopefully Ralki meets him again, perhaps in a quest or something. Whatever, she walks out of the tavern and hops onto her cart. She rides anywhere, she doesn't particularly know where she would be going, but she hopes to find something interesting again.*
