"Well i suppose ill be the only one to thank you, while fancy pants throws a tantrum"
 
"Oh, that's.. Fine."
 
*She said. It's not as if she was expecting a gratitude out of doing this anyway. Akasha only hoped that both of them wouldn't argue too much. Her hand reached for the inside of her pocket. Then, she puts a single silver coin on top of the table, to pay for the apples and also her drink. She turned to Hanna as she asked for her name. Amidst the sounds of the people inside the bar, who are still chattering to each other, she remembered something. Hanna seems like she knows her way around the place, so it wouldn't hurt to ask her the question.*
 
"It's Akasha." *She said, accepting the handhsake.*
 
"You can just call me that. Being called ma'am sounds a little strange, I'm not even twenty yet." *She smiled at her, then released her hand.*
 
"Coincidentally.. May I ask a question, Miss Hanna? Have you heard any strange rumours lately?" *Her face changed, expressing... Seriousness, as she said that.*
Holly
"Actual impressive? What you saw here wasn't even close to what I can achieve. If my weaker form caused us to be equal, that means I'm that much better!"

*Ling picks up an apple slice with her hand and bites a piece off, scoffing at Hana's treatment of her blade. Absolutely no respect for it, using it to eat mere apples.*

"And don't you dare say I spin. That's a stupid idea."

*Ling seems to be extremely triggered at the mention of a mage, and bursts into a rant.*

"Don't you bring mages up you piece of ignorant shit! Most of them stand back and cast spells from a distance like a coward, and will never fare well in close combat! At best, they might be lucky to surrender with their lives if they ever get into melee!"

*Ling's face is enraged by the thought, though she looks at Akasha and lightens her reaction.*

"Most of them, anyway."

*The swordswoman would return to her drink, but her interest peaked once again at the mention of rumors.*
Michael
"Tsk tsk tsk, that's what I saw though, so I'll judge you based on that! I don't care if your secretary the queen of Salvaninia... I only see you as a mediocre duel blade user" *She'd smirk clearly enjoying messing with the hot head*

*She'd nod her head as she went on and on ranting about mages as she put her hand to her chin* "Hmm... I think I see your just a B. I. T. C. H. Like jeez, get over yourself woman, earth doesn't revolve around you and I'll bring up whatever I like! Ooh spooky scary Magic water! Ooooooh ima gonna cast a gust of wind at cha! Ooh ooh maybe I'll burn you a bit with fire! How does that make you feel? Like cmon... Look at yourself? You claim your all high and mighty yet you shiver your timbers at the thought of fighting mages? If that's your weakness I'm clearly better then you and I don't even need apples to prove it"

*She'd turn away from her looking at the mage* "Rumors? Hmm... Not really that I know of honestly, most I can tell you is the need for assassins is getting higher and higher for some reason... And there's talk of somebody saving up 8000 gold for a water fortress... Thats all I know sorry, also my apologies... I'm just used to referring to people who's company I actually enjoy as Ma'am"

*She pondered about Ling's confidence as she bragged about her abilities. It is true that her personality is rather.. Fiery, and she seems to be very proud of her arms. However, even a person with minimum training in handling weapons like Akasha knows that her words aren't a simple buff. After seeing the display of her skill, it would come to no surprise if she would still come out on top after she goes all out. Even with Hanna using magically enhanced equipment.*
 
*As a character, Ling is also not necessarily a bad person either. Akasha noticed that she tried to lighten her wordings about mage after looking in her direction. As a priestess, she always thought that it is her duty to help others without expecting any return or praise. A concern against mockery of her crafts is usually not given, in that similar vein. But she really appreciates her going out of her way to try and not hurt her feelings. She smiled warmly at her direction as she said that, then turned back her attention to Hanna.*
 
"Alright, okay, let's not take things too far. I thought the competition would serve to settle the grudges." *She said, putting both of her hands on the side of her hips. Her eyebrows are furrowed.*
 
Rumors? Hmm... Not really that I know of honestly,
 
"Is that so? Well, I also heard about the one who tries and saves up 8000 gold. And it's fine, actually, just call me on what you feel comfortable with." *She said.*
 
*It looks like there is no luck here either. She would need to look for any clues elsewhere, after this. Akasha, walked back towards her stool and picked up both her staff and her beret. As she does so, her hand bumped on the mug of the beer, which makes it fall out from the table. She feels a bad premonition..*

"Sorry, sorry!" 

*Akasha hurriedly picked up the mug from the floor. The butterbeer created a puddle on the wooden board, much to the bar person annoyment. He just shrugged it off and walked to take a mop, presumably because the priestess is quite a generous patron. She bowed apologetically to him, and took her steps towards the direction of Hanna and Ling again. She had asked Hanna about it, but maybe the other lady would be more informed on more obscure rumour than her? Though she looked like she doesn't really like Akasha, she wondered whether Ling would try and even bother.*

"Um, can I ask you as well? Have you heard any rumours recently.." *She said, looking at left and right as if being wary of something, then motioned at Hanna to step closer to both of them.*

"Regarding undead, and things related?"

*The nature of necromancy itself is not really a taboo topic, given that there are some countries and cultures that don't quite see it as a corrupted act. However, the nature of her question is not something that she rather other people hear about. Akasha prided herself as a judge of a character. After her short interaction with both Hanna and Ling, they don't seem to be people who commit atrocities simply for the sake of it.*
