*Theron had gotten to the inn and found himself a quest to do... He wasn't quite sure if Ein could make it on the quest, since there were quite a few other applications, but he thought that she should get at least half the money. She always made it seem like she was dirt poor, so it was the least he could do for travelling with her.*

"...I've been away from the homestead for quite some time, so I should get back and see how Syele has been doing. She's been on quite a few high paying quests last I remember, so I wouldn't be surprise if some changes had been made."

*Theron then begun his approximately thirty minute journey over to the plains that housed Syele's cabin. The main roads had been cleared of most snow by mages employed from the college, so the trek wasn't too bad... The snow visibly lighter than what surrounded it.*
Clifford
*Syele would being glaring at the window and once she knew Theron as just inches away from the door she'd kick it open with what little strength she had as a dramatic move to show her current discontent with the fact Theron was due for rent.* "Theron! Where have you been! It's almost been a month since you last paid me on rent!" *The oriate would waddle up toward the man with her hand out.*

"Secondly, we need to talk, I got a new business idea that can probably help us in the long run." *She stated firmly, waiting for him to pay the rent so they could go inside an talk for a little.*
Barry
*Theron had the fifty silver in his hand, having kept track of the time he had between rents... Silently sliding it into her pocket and then waiting for Syele to explain what she was going to do this time.*
Clifford
*Syele nodded as they went toward the living room and the fire had already been going making the house kind of comfortable for the time being. She leaned back and performed her daily routine of bread picking with a better facial expression than normal.* "So, since our last little visit, I've done two quests and got a pretty solid chunk of coin from it. Thus, I had this weird idea that sparked my taste back in my homelands. You know some slaves that have been maimed and lost a limb? Or even scarred to the point their value has almost washed away? I was thinking we should buy up a bulk of them to run a comfort house."

*She'd rub the back of her head a bit in thought about the idea.* "It's like a whore house but less whoring and more comforting to those that have had trouble in their adventures. Like the slaves we hire would be providing someone to confide into for the clients who have very little comfort or people to speak to on their own. I think it could be an interesting experiment especially if we can... Help... Others." *Syele had to lie about the helping part, she really didn't care all that much about the slaves since she knew those types were mostly useless and just cheaper altogether. As for the comfort of others? Sure for the coin.*
Barry
"I'm unsure if that could work, as anyone could just speak about their problems, even if the people they spoke to didn't care. If we were to do it anyways, where would the slaves work? We would have to give basic needs as well... Feed, drink, places to sleep..."

*Theron crossed his arms, sitting down in one of the nearby chairs. The idea was quite odd to him, because if they bothered you why not just tell people they did? Since Syele seemed to be into it however, he was willing to discuss it.*
Clifford
"True, but there's just some problems that others cannot speak of to others close to them. For instance, most men withdraw their emotions from others when they would really prefer to speak of their troubles or even cry, yet in society that is shamed upon. So, if we were to create such a friendly environment then maybe some unsolved inner problems could be rooted out." *Syele spoke out calmly while continuing to pick at her bread for the time being.*

"As to your question of basic needs I have amassed enough coin to provide us an entire tavern for our little plan and most likely we can buy one already stocked for the amount of gold I have. Then when it comes to actually feeding them it is of a even simple matter of just buying low quality bread and some water from time to time. They can either stay here at the worker station of the house or at the tavern it does not really matter which."
Barry
*Theron let out a `hmmmmm`, tapping his chin while listening to the explanation. He was still confused about the whole, "Some problems can't be spoken about"... What kind of problems? He guessed it just wasn't of that big concern anyway, some people just couldn't consider the naivety of their actions.*

"If you feel this would generate a good enough income, then it's your decision to make. It gives the slaves decent housing and treatment, others ease of heart, and profit to yourself. A benefit for all three."

Ferret come along reeeeeeeeeee

Kirk
*Outside the door... A very unique ClinkClinkClink sound, as if it was... Someone's equipment was hitting each other. I wonder who it was. Anyways the steps stopped for a moment and a person spoke up*

"My room's there? Ah yes. Thank you very much~!" 

*Hey look! EinEin is HERE! Yay? Don't know if that was necessarily a good thing honestly*
Barry
*Theron had turned over to the entrance of the cabin... He heard the clinking about thirty seconds before they walked in, but he didn't think someone would walk in. Once noticing the voice was Ein's his surprise was wiped clean.*

"Ein? What're you doing over here, away from the district?"

`the person outside pranked you`
Kirk
"Ah well you see... I'm lost. I drank a bit of... Something strange and thought this was an inn... Yeah I'll see my self out thank you very much"

*She said, turning around to... Make her way out soon... She was wearing a black cloak and... Her claymore was no where to be seen... And she was carrying a new cool thing... A halberd... Something that looks scary!*
Clifford
"Theron, your friend is being very rude and leaving without even making proper introductions." *Syele gave theron the old dead eyes while taking a drink of spiced water from her cup while dramatically.* "But then again, I suppose she did walk in quite rudely to begin with, but I'd forgive her if she bothered to sit down long enough." *Her voice trailed off rather dead in the terms of a tone, but yet light as a feather, a bad omen to the ears if anything.*
Barry
"Ein, come back over and at least amuse Syele... As well as be scolded for drinking again. It's a bad habit that wastes the little silver you have with you."

*Theron rolled his eyes, hearing that Ein had been drinking again... Even though she was embarrassed with the aftermath the last time she did so. Strange yet amusing, but ultimately self destructive.*
Kirk
"Fineeee~. And who said I had little silver? I'm just frugal honestly~"

*She said, returning back to the room... And... Just stands there. She didn't actually know what to do. She just assumed she was in trouble. 

She sounds... A bit strange. Maybe she hit the gold spot of Alcohol... Not too much and not too little.*
Clifford
"So, are you looking for a permanent residency here in Salvainia? I offer up a room for rent like I said when you entered, it'd just be a ten gold deposit in case you damage anything or cause trouble for me, then secondly it'd be fifty silver a rent a month afterwords but you'd have the deposit returned to you when you're ready to leave if you do accept those terms." *Syele was just an inch shorter than theron, but they looked skinny and almost ill with their pale skin. Their ears would flick every so often with a bit of oddity to them.*

"Additionally, me and theron was just discussing some business that we'll probably never get to in the near future, but will likely be worked on later down the road." *She'd finish speaking and awaited for the girl to answer a reply to her.*
Kirk
"No. I'm just a lowly traveller who has met with... Your client along my way through The Tupla Region. Plus, I doubt I can maintain a housed lifestyle with the lack of income"

*She looked directly into her eyes. She wasn't perceptive enougj to notice the ear flicker...* 

"I assume Theron... Was... Your partner? I don't want to assume. I think the word was... Client?"
Clifford
"Tenant would be the correct word and partner would be another correct word as well I suppose. But it is a shame, fifty silver is a reasonable price per month and Theron somehow manages to suffer with it even with him lightly doing quests on the side. Anyways, since you don't really wish to rent a room may I ask if you have business with Theron or another matter?" *Einillainis would notice that Syele's eyes showed no spark of emotion nor brightly filled color of a normal person, they had a light brown tint and that was quite all. Her voice still trailed off as a blank as ever and she continued to remove excessive winter garments for the time being.*
Barry
*Theron decided to just wait.*
Kirk
"Well you see, he said we would go on a quest together once we had one. But we got separated in the city. Quite a shame honestly"

*She said, noticing... The dead eyes of this person. Surprised she was, Theron being able to... Survive with this person. She definitely sounds like a wolf... Or a predator* 

"50 silver is a lot when you don't have a stable way to earn it back yes?"

*She said, leaning herself on the Halberd. Pretty tall weapon. Obviously taller than her, and she's already taller than the both of them*
Clifford
"A single quest can typically net you anywhere between five and fifteen gold coins and that translate into five to fifteen hundred silver coins. So in theory, one quest can pay for six months of rent at the least and up to a year and half at the most." *Syele continued to speak as she went to the kitchen across the room and gathered a rag and a bucket of freshly boiled water from the fire stove.*

"So really, even if you don't have a stable income it is rather safe to say you could afford it easily. As to the matter of quests those are easy to find and I'm quite sure that theron would be more then willing to help you in that matter. My second reason to my proposal that may interest you a bit better is that I have an entire work shop with all the basic equipment to repair weapons and armor that I would offer to you included in the rent." *She then sat back down staring at the boiling water waiting for it to cool down enough so she could use the rag to wash her face off.*
Kirk
"I already have what I need and my own skilled armourer, though he acts strangely at times. Sorry, but I'm simply not interested in permanent residence... Especially with what I do for a job~."
Barry
*Theron stretched in his chair, leaning back into it after listening to the two go on about the residency.*

"Ein wouldn't like to stay here I suppose, so let's not waste more time on that... But on the subject of quests, I had ran into a farmer that had lost their animals. Possibly bandits or some gang of goblins. I was the last entry, however, so forgive me for that Ein. I'll give you a portion of the silver if you want it, since I said we would do one together."
Clifford
*Syele would slowly lose interest in the girl since she didn't really have anything to offer her let alone to her efforts at the time. The oriate would lightly take the rag from earlier and started to wash off her face during their talk while also lightly rubbing her ears clean as well.* "In consideration, would beastkin just be as cheap as oriates? I mean they do tend to mass produce in high quantities and some don't look completely awful."

*She spoke out toward theron pondering the quest and then tilted her head at him when he mentioned that he'd be giving a portion to Ein.* "Friend, hopefully you don't drive yourself broke, you still owe me a twenty-five percent cut out of that quest and last I check I was going to come along and heal you when necessary too." *She stated plainly while continuing to ponder while washing off her arms now.*
Kirk
*She frowned to herself, turning to... Well Mr Theron* 

"If you fall short of your rent... I can spare 50 silver, friend. I'm not poor, I just don't intend on doing something difficult to maintain"
Barry
"I will remember that, thank you. Keeping your promises is something that I ensure on doing, however. Inform me on a quest you can't do alone, and I'll work with you."

*Theron nodded, still leaning back in the chair comfortably... Or at least, it seemed like it was comfortable to him.*

"As for that, I already understand."

*He just looked back over to Syele stating what he thought was already something she knew.*I
Clifford
"Well, anyways, I suppose... We could actually go take care of that matter now, Theron? Since we have the spare time and the wagon is still packed we should be able to buy what we need and come back within... Maybe a few hours at the least?" *Syele stated plainly while putting back on her winter clothes.*
Kirk
"I suppose my business is done here. Right Theron? If so, I'll make my leave. I shan't stay in one place for longer than a day. Too dangerous"

*She said, with a small sense of doubt in her voice. It's as if she is running away from something. Maybe that's why she is so against living in a place permanently.*
Barry
"... You sure? It seems like you're being far too formal than you usually are. Did that walk around the city have some bad happenings?"

*Theron was rather puzzled on why Ein seemed to be a entirely new person. Of course, he hadn't been with her for more than four days, so he couldn't fully judge her on experience alone... But it was still quite odd for her to suddenly get all tense from a laid back conversation.*
Kirk
"Well you see. Met some old friends. Wasn't too entirely pleasant. Turns out, my previous teachers don't exactly like my any more. Especially dangerous for me as... They are a group of Assassins I suppose you could call them that."

*She picked up her Halberd, turning around before turning back to the two* 

"I suppose I'll meet you, Theron, again another day? Hopefully that day won't be you hunting me down. Quite a scary, yet possible prospect"
Barry
"What?"

*Theron sat there, completely baffled... What the hell happened in the hour or so when she had left him alone with the strange kitsune?*
Clifford
"Ah, I do believe we have our own business to worry about for now... So uh, goodbye... Miss I suppose." *Syele remembered that it was almost time to head out to the farm earlier that had the quest posted. So, she left past Ein and went outside to start walking.*
Kirk
*And off she goes! To roam the Mainland! Wonder what she'll end up finding... Or poking aggressively with a pole?*
Barry
`well I'd chase after EinEin's sudden pack of assassins... But I said I'd do Discorxd's quest, since it's his first one.`
