*Tieres laughed at the second part of Ptarms sentence, This time taking a long gulp of his drink, as Ptarm talked he would notice the man begin to lean further back, his arms go away from his side and on the table, Tieres was now visibly more relaxed* 

"**The names Tieres, there's just certain types I'm not too keen on associating with, luckily for you, your not one of those types. I'll trust you with my name for now.**" 

*Tieres threw a coin on the table, the gentle toss resulted in the coin spinning on its side, for what seemed like an eternity* 

"**Sorry by the way, I didn't mean to offend when I said you were soft, the world needs soft people as much as it needs hard people, we all have our place I imagine**" 

*Tieres slammed down on the coin, his hand was covered in calluses and scars, areas where the skin was maybe torn now darker then the rest, he kept his hand on the coin* 

"**So what brings a.. *Combat medic*, to the land of the beastkin? Or are you just passing through?**"
Mary
*Ptarm placed the mug back down and began swirling the contents, he seemed to generally be incapable of keeping his hands still. He relaxed a little as the intensity of the conversation lessened. Replying in his usual neutral voice.*

**"I have always had a love of history, and while It may not look like it now. This place may soon be the heart of a new world power."**

*He gestured around the dusty bar with his hand before returning it to the mug.* 

**"I had to come and check this place out for myself after my old job got... Closed down. Anyways, a rapidly growing economy means more trade routes that need guarding so more business for me."**

*He looks down at the scars covering Tieres' hand. *

**"What brings a warrior such as yourself to this place?"**
Chieko
*Tieres eyes grew wide when Ptarm mentioned trade routes and caravans, it was so ironic that it was almost funny, but the same caravans Ptarm would be guarding might just be the same ones that Tieres might end up raiding. Tieres took a deep breathe, trying hard not to break out into hysterics.* 

"** Why, for what other reason would anybody come to this place if not for business, truth be told, the beastmen at the border north have been having trouble with raiders, It peaked my interest, after all I have a blade or two to offer, I would be remise to miss such an oppurtunity**" 

"**It is true, these are different times, hard to believe where we are sitting, was once nothing, and the beastmen outside killed each other for the difference of their birth. Well, now that they're not killing each other, they'll pay me to kill other people, so how about a toast, to our future being a part of history**" 

*Tieres would raise his cup to Ptarms mug, a half hearted smile on his face, the long travel up to quaha showing in his eyes*
Mary
*Ptarm would raise his mug as well, giving his own tired smile. Though his was one of late nights rather than travel. *

**"And may the future judge us fairly"**

*He responded as their cups collided with a solid thunk. Then Ptarm rose his cup to his mouth and finished off the remaining water.*
Chieko
*Tieres too finished off his drink, slamming it down so hard heads turned, he then snapped at the bartender again, ushering his cup forward. The bartender coming to collect the cup and get a new drink for Tieres, eyes of the bar on the Beastkin the whole time he worked, and as he collected the cup and delivered the drink, the eyes shifted the Ptarms and Tieres table* 

"**Anyway, I travel a lot, I was thinking once I clean up work on the border I head back through home to pick something up, and then I head to other side of the continent, through Lymia, and then straight into the SIlnari Empire, slave lands is good money, lord knows they can't use the slaves for *Real fighting* **" 

*Tieres would glance to the qua at the bar, hoping not to offend* 

"**Lots of merc work out there, and plenty of work on the way, and hell, who doesn't want to see the world? Not that you need to come with me, but just think about it, things are setting up round these parts, why not travel across the world, go the places where the rich are at, take their money, and invest in the up and coming when you bring it back?**" 

*Tieres would take a big sip, as he put his mug down, the alcohol and the ambition caused him to day dream, his vision looking at something a million miles away*
Mary
*Ptarm pulled the hand that had been hidden within his pocket and stared into the eyes of the small ice crystal butterfly that sat upon his palm. He sat there for awhile, deep in thought, sitting still for the first time in this conversation.* 

**"A dreamer hmm,"** *Ptarm mumbled unconsciously.*
 *After a moment the butterfly fluttered off into the rafters and he turned to respond.*

**"I suppose I could do with a travel partner for awhile. We can see how this partnership works out for the both of us as we go. I haven't got much going on here anyways, might as well travel a little before finding a place to set up, not that I'm much of a fan of slavers."**
Chieko
*Tieres would give a big closed lip smile, his one working eye a window into his active mind beaming with ideas and hopes, he chugs down the rest of his drink* 

"**Hey now, I don't love em either, but I'm sure as hell gonna overcharge them for whatever menial task their slaves can't do and they're too lazy to do, its free coin as far as I know, and I love a good trek. Haven't been to that side of the world in a long time, and I never went inland.**" 

*Tieres stood up, brushing himself off just in case anything had landed on him, rubbing alcohol stains on his brown cloak, hopelessly attempting to get them out, but to no avail. Tieres would shrug, looking onward as he stood, his long hair tied in an incredibley loose pony tail came into view, strands of long hair falling to his shoulder*
