"A flame thrower huh...? Sounds interesting. Just try not to blow your other arm off, would you?"
*The elf said with his sort of black humor, smirking as they pry the thing out of the wall. The elf inspects the wound gouged into the wood, frowning lightly. Would be hard to replace.*

*He glances back to Diao, fighting the urge to recoil at the smell of her tea.*
"It's still attached. I appreciate the thought, but I just need a doctor. I'm planning to get it checked out this evening if you'd like to come with."
Ryan
"I won't blow off my other arm. I'm not an alchemist."

*Diao looked at the wall, nodding.*

"I suppose I'll try and incorporate that into my arm. Could make for an effective weapon if I used a simple straight bolt, instead of such a large blade. Better penetration."

*Diao coughed after drinking her tea. It was clear she didn't enjoy drinking it either.*

"It's medicine."

*The elf took another sip, looking at the arm.*

"Barely. Seems pretty gnarly; what happened to it? Did you stick your hand down the gullet of a dog or something?"
Maureen
"Maybe you should make your own appointment then... And yeah, I suppose. Some centaur nearly hacked it off when I was crossing the border. Heh, you should've seen how he ended up."

*The elf smirks, briefly remembering the headless horseman. He runs his arm sorely, stepping over and taking a seat in a spare chair.*
"Anything of interest happen while I was gone?"
Ryan
"I have my own appointments with an apothecary. Doc couldn't help me, sent me to her. It tastes nasty, but hey, it works."

*Hacked it off? Ah, that was right. The boss had traveled to Mentia for a bit to raid a village. It seemed obvious now that they would face opposition. She just didn't expect it to be that severe.*

"Not too much. I punched someone in the face. My golems are also disassembled at the moment; I'm considering rebuilding them into something different or repurposing their parts. Oh, and is there also a rabbit near here? I've seen her in the streets a couple of times; nearly no one notices her, but I do."
Maureen
"Sorry to hear that... You what? What the hell happened?"

*The elf raised an eyebrow at the woman, concerned about this news. He didn't want to develope a bad reputation for his establishment, and depending on the context... The elf's train of thought is derailed as she mentions a bunny.*
"Oh? You must mean Auburn... Yeah, she's something of a messenger for me. Amongst other things... Reminds me that I should pay her a visit as well. "
Ryan
"Some guy tried to rob me. I refused, and he tried to stab me. Hit metal underneath the robe. Consequently, he got his jaw rocked and some teeth... Displaced. Left after that."

*Diao wasn't concerned with Horace's worry at all. In fact, she felt exhilarated when she felt the force travel through her mechanical arm, through her shoulders and down her toes. Ah, her old warrior days.*

"Auburn? Interesting messenger. She is quite discreet. I would say she needs a little more meat on her bones, but uh..."

*Diao lifts her right arm, the sleeve falling to reveal a thin arm.*

"I can't say much."
Maureen
"Really? That's interesting... Remember what he looked like?"
*Horace wondered about the situation. A robbing against Diao was it. He'd have to find them and make an example of whoever it was.*

"Hehe... Something you two have in common it seems. Speaking of which, hungry?"
