*Kibaru's ears peaked and he turned around towards the kitchen with his ears moving slightly. He then looked back at her* "Well, seems the food will soon be ready. Quite lucky had most of the prep already done." *He said with a smile before resuming the conversation* "You know. Okamimi and Kitsune have a talent for magic as well, quite funny how I'd prefer melee combat over magic though... Haven't used magic in quite the while now. What kind of magic do you specialize?"
Robert
**"Erm.. I specialize in Aqua, arificing and alchemy. I can perform many different kinds of magic if it comes down to it, really. I'm not particularly good at some, but I'm not horrible at them either."***

*Matime left out the rather important fact that she specialized in necromancy as well, as she didn't want him to think of her as a freak or a dark sorcerer. In her eyes, necromancy was the type of magic you used if you were particularly evil or hated the idea of following the rules; while this wasn't the case for her, at least not entirely.. Necromancy was still her primary magic.*
James
*Good thing she didn't mentioned her specializing in necromancy. Kibaru don't think of the magic as evil, but he looked down on it as it tends to break the rules of nature. He believed the dead should rest peacefully and undisturbed. Magic that tempered with the natural laws went against he's views as a hunter and a previous magic user.*

"Well if you want to be a great mage, you'll have to at least be able to use every spell proficiently enough. Though I'm guessing you have quite the time left to learn how to do just that." *He then turned his head again before looking back at her* "Well guess that's my queue. I'll be right back" *He stood up and walked to the kitchen seemingly getting her order. Soon returning with it with something else*

"Here you go ma'am. Hope you enjoy" *He said as he laid her food out in front of her and taking his place with some dumplings in front of him* "Where were we?"
Robert
*Beginning to carefully eat her soup, she thought for a moment. She was still relatively young for an Oni, and as far as she was aware, could complete her training early-on if she was careful enough. Fiddling with something around her neck as she ate, she then spoke out once more.*

***"I can't use EVERY spell proficiently.. But I can use a good portion of them. While I may not have much in the ways of training yet, I can create water, fog.. Transmutate, heal, and more or less anything you might be able to think of in the basic sense."***
James
"Able to heal, mmm. Prefect timing. You know. Me and a buddy of mine have been in search of someone with just that kind of ability for our small little party... Our previous companion... Ended up setting this place ablaze due to some... Problems. But it looks like you might be able to keep you cool" *Kibaru said as he ate his dumpling with a smile on his face* "Ooh, So good... It just explodes in my mouth"
Robert
*She chuckled a bit and slurped down some of her soup again, and stretched momentarily. Truthfully, she wondered if she could pass off some of her necromancy as demonic magic..*

***"Are you praising your own food? Heh.. Well, either way.. I'm not too much of a healer right now. I can definitely improve; but overall, I do have the ability to heal. It's just through a few certain.. Ways."***
James
"I didn't make any of this... Food always tastes better when prepared by someone else. And I must say, the cooks really have improved" *He said with his tails wagging slowly behind him* "Don't know if I could best them... I'll have to challenge them soon enough" 

"Oh and no worries. A battle mage that know a little healing is better than a mage only healing. We just need someone that can patch us up after and probably during combat just a little." *He then looked at her a bit before taking another bite* "What do you mean?" *He asked in regards to her saying 'certain'*
Robert
***"Ah, it's nothing.. Just some of the demonic magic I possess, it does allow me to heal people. But.. You have a party, I heard? When are you going adventuring again?"***

*Hoping her trick worked, she quickly finished the last of her soup, stretching and looking around. She hadn't actually gone on a quest before, and she hoped she would be able to join his.*
James
"Mmm... Demonic... Sure." *Kibaru didn't seem to believe the story. He himself grew up with allot of folk tales, but her knew the difference between Demons and Oni.* "We often travel actually. I've just come to stop by the eatery for a bit. We're constantly going from place to place. Exploring, learning new things, meeting new people and all that fun stuff." *Kibaru then held the bored of dumpling out to her* "Want one?"
Robert
*She took the dumpling and pushed the whole thing into her mouth, shrugging as she chewed. Not like she really cared if he believed her or not anyways, since she didn't say anything to give away that her magic was necromancy.*

***"You own this place? How much money does it make you?"***
James
"Well it's just started. Been open for a month or so... So I would say I haven't yet made profit. The repairs took a while after the fire. But I would say it should make a decent profit pretty soon. Enough to buy another eatery in Runra... That way I can make full use of my ship to transport good without the tax or extra costs" *Kibaru said smiling at her not being shy at all to his offer*
Robert
***"Well, the food's pretty good, and the prices aren't bad.. I'd say you could turn a profit within the next month or two."***

*Clearing her throat, she stretched once more before standing up, looking around a bit more before gathering her things.*

***"Well, if you ever need me, just come look for me at the inn. I'd be happy to take you up on your offer as a healer. And, you wouldn't have to worry about finding fresh water, just leave it to me."***
James
"Well that would actually be useful. I'll be sure to ask my friend. Then we could pay you a little visit. Oh. And if you need to get to Runra. I'd be happy to have you board my ship, You'll just need to help with loading and unloading supplies. Sounds like a fair deal" *Kibaru said as he finished up his dumpling leaving one on the board* "You can have that one while I go fetch your rations." *Kibaru said as he took off to the Kitchen getting a decently sized bag and bringing it to her*

"There you go. If you feel like dinning, feel free to visit at any time. And if you wouldn't mind, spreading the word"
Robert
***"To Runra? No, I can get there normally, I'm alright. I mean, I was born and raised there, I have a few connections who can take me home."***

*Tossing the last dumpling in her mouth and swallowing the entire thing in one go, she tossed the rations into her bag and nodded, understanding what the reasoning behind the 'spreading the word' meant.*

***"As for your establishment, sure thing, I'll spread the word. I can set up a few posters if you'd like too. But, well, I better get going.. Need to pay for tonight's room, and it's a bit late."***
James
"Well you just need to put a good word in where you go and I'm sure I'll be ahppy enough." *He said with a smile and a nod* "Aye, best be on your way before all the rooms are rented. I'll be sure to fins you soon enough" *Kibaru gave a bow to her* "And may you rest well" *He said before standing back up, taking their dishes and heading back to the Kitchen*
Robert
***"Thank you. Have a great day."***

*And with that, Matime left the establishment.. And just then completely realized she forgot to mention her name. Oh well, he'll know who to look for. Not like she's hard to miss..*
