Robert
*She finished off her beer her stomach letting out quite the rumble as she leaned back in her seat, the chairs creaking just a bit.* "I'm not the settle down type." *She snorted, tapping a finger against the table.* "Any wars going on?"
Emmett
*Melody would look at her a bit quizzically, finding the question somewhat odd of her to ask.*"Well there has been a war going on in Mentia for years now... My home country actually. From what I'm hearing it only seems to be getting worse."
Robert
*She let out a hum in thought, tapping her fingers on the table.* "I've never been. Mmh. Which side are you from?" *She shifted a bit in her seat, a small grin forming.* "Do they pay well?"
Emmett
"I'm not too sure actually. I haven't been involved in it."*She'd say. Melody was sure there were a lot more complications than simply being paid for it. War was costly enough as it was.*"I'm assuming you plan to head towards Mentia to help out with the war efforts?"*She'd ask.*
Robert
"Mmh. Fighting is just what i do. I wouldn't make a great carpenter." *She thumbed at the side of her nose.* "You know who's in charge of where in Mentia?"
Emmett
"Well it's been quite some time since I've been there. Things may have changed a bit with the war seeming to get worse by the minute."*She'd say scratching at her head. As they'd speak, the food would eventually be thought out, warm dishes with meat covered in a variety of sauces to help guide their tender flavors. A bowl of bread rolls would be sat center to them. With a thank you to the waiter, the man would leave once more while Melody would grab one of her utensils.*"Did you have a side in mind of who you may help out... Or... Is it mostly the pay you're looking for?"
Robert
*She hefted her shoulders in a shrug as she began to chow down on her meal.* "I don't care. As long as they're not completely bad and they pay well." *She drank some more beer and hummed.* "Mmmm. I'll see who's actually hiring first."
Emmett
*She'd eat her meal much slower than the Brayer, pondering over it a bit.*"Well if you think you're able to. Do you think you can try seeing how Northern Mentia is doing? It's a pretty small country and I don't think their chances are the best, but I'd like to hope that there's others out there to help them out."
Robert
"Are you from there?" *She asked after she swallowing a big chunk of steak, chugging some more beer.* "Mm. I'm not too picky, as long as i get paid."
Emmett
"I am."*She'd say, continuing to eat her meal.*"It's where my hometown is actually. Sometimes I worry for the place with the war going on, but if you do find reason to help out, I would be grateful if you gave assistance to Northern Mentia."
Robert
*She let out a hum, nodding a few times as she continued to eat her steak, wolfing it down quickly and wiping her mouth with her arm.* "Mm. I'll look into it. Have family there?"
Emmett
*Melody would eat away at her food, soon finish her pork and rice while leaving the bread in case the woman wanted any.*"Yes, quite a large one actually. I come from this big family of merchants, but... Well I decided to travel here to continue my work. I do hope they're keeping safe out there. None of them are much of fighters."
Robert
"Merchants, I know the type." *She finished off the last of her beer.* "I spent a lot of time in the federation's trading city, saw plenty of them. I'm more used to robbing them than dealing with them." *She gave a devilish smirk, followed by quiet rumbling laugh.* "I'm sure your folks are good people."
Emmett
"Miss I wouldn't think it wise to be saying things like that in a public space."*She'd say to her.*"It's not very lawful and could possibly warrant arrest."*Melody decided to give her the benefit of the doubt that she was simply joking, otherwise forcing her to have to go on duty again.*"They are..."*She'd say with a quiet sigh to agree with her, eventually pushing away her empty plate and the bread rolls as well. The Centaur would simply drink from the water instead.*"At any rate, however you choose to help in the war, I wish you luck."
Robert
*Her taking it seriously just made her more ammused, laughing a little louder and waving it off.* "I'm just messing with you. Baha. I was raised by a bunch of jokers, don't mind me." *She smirked and shook her head.* "Thank you anyway, been a good talk and a good meal."
Emmett
*Melody would laugh along with her confirming it a joke, albeit carrying less humor and seeming more awkward.*"You're welcome."*She'd say, placing down some money on the table before gradually getting up from her seat.*"It was nice getting to talk to you."
