*Somewhere, in a different tavern.*

*Sirdan set down the bill for his drinks and food, and stood up, turning around hurriedly to leave after a good pie and beer, eager to get back to the guild for more works.*
Whitney
*The Macen and dark elf made their way through the town, Nagnis occasionally looking up at the sky to admire the stars and moon before looking back at her.

**"Do you travel often?"***
Donna
"Yes I'm ready to go." Marius smiles. "Sorry about running off, I'm just excited." He says with an embarrassed grin. He really is excited, for the adventure and experience it'll give him. He just hopes he can make some good money so he is able to buy himself some land and enjoy a nice life.
Whitney
***"Hm. I cant say I ever collected anything from my travels. Though... I probably have, I just do not remember them."** He looked forward as they walked.

**"Do you ever travel around at night?"***
Miles
*Artemisia scoffed,* "More excited to travel the battlefields with some stranger than stay home with loved ones. Odd one you are." *She nudged her head to a blacksmith that resided conveniently on the other side of the street,* "Thought I had to run around Salvainia to get everything I needed. Guess not."
Nathan
Vanixa shakes her head, **" Mm no not often traveling at night is dangerous. Bandits, and all manner of demons lurk in the night." Traveling by night is a good way to get robbed or killed."**
Whitney
*He raised one eyebrow then nodded his head.

**"A valid point to not venture through the darkness. I used to find it soothing to the soul. Especially when it rained."** He then gave a shrug. **"Oh well. Each to their own."***
Nathan
Vanixa gave the man a curious look, as she walked looking around at the small homes and businesses. 
**" You enjoy standing in the rain at night? I much prefer the windy nights, myself. My father loved the rain as well, though for different reasons than yours. "** (
Donna
"What? You're going to go to that thief? His prices are ridiculous and his stuff isn't even that good. I'd only go to that guy if you're in a hurry." Marius laughs. "And I don't want to stay at home with loved ones yet, I want to do some adventuring, I want to have stories to tell my children and make money to feed them with."
Miles
*Artemisia shrugged her shoulders,* "I am in a hurry. Trying to get my ass out of this place so I can get back to earning coin." *Her brow cocked upwards as they proceeded to approach together to the blacksmith,* "Mm... Still. Men like you would like the easy life. Wenches and whores following your coin."
Whitney
*Nagnis gave a smile to her.

**"I used to meditate for hours on end beneath the pouring rain. It was a gorgeous feeling. Should you feel the need to relax suddenly, you should try meditate beneath rainfall. It does the body good, but I shan't force the idea upon you."** He looked forward for a moment.

**"Were you quite close to your father?"***
Donna
"I have no interest in wenches or whores, I want a family and I want a happy family at that. I need money for that but I don't plan on working in a dark and smoky forge for a decade so I can feed my kids." He says passionately. "I know you think I just want to have some stories I can exaggerate so some whore wants to bed me, but that's not it."
Nathan
Vanixa looked up into the sky, " **Mmm well I'll have to try it one day, meditation has never been easy for for me."Perhaps, the rain shall help me quiet my mind.**

Vanixa looks down from her star gazing, a hurt look crossing her face before disappearing. **" Y .. Yes we were very close he was a great man. He was strong ,bold and yet so soft hearted. A great hunter with such keen senses and a talent with the bow. He would show off often, hitting a target from such a great lengths away.** (
Whitney
*He smiled widely in hearing this. He somewhat wished he had a relationship like that with his father, or even his mother. To think of actually liking one of his family members sounded foreign to him. Nevertheless, she seemed to have fond thoughts of her father.

**"That's sweet, miss Vanixa."** He smiled. **"He sounds like a great man."***
Nathan
Vanixa looks up at Nagnis, **" Yes he was a great man. Do you have any fond memories of your father? I know you said you all had different views."**
Whitney
***"I wish I could say the same. The relationship between me and my entire family was on a thin line from the start."** He smiled. **"Though... I am fairly old. Perhaps I do not remember the moments I had with him."***
Miles
*Artemisia glanced over to him while the two walked, the door to the smithy coming into view,* "Most want extravagant stories. Though, they're the first to choke on their own blood." *She opened up the door, before entering when a blacksmith had greeted her entrance.* "Hey there, laddie." *A lora greeted the two as he hammered away at a curved dagger, flattening the metal. She gave him a nod of acknowledgement,* "Greetings. Where's my Greatsword?"
Donna
"I don't plan on dying anytime soon." Marius says before they enter the blacksmith. He stares at the work spread out around the shop and analyzes it with a professional interest, letting his companion deal with the blacksmith himself. "Fucking thief." Marius mumbles to himself.
Miles
*Artemisia watched as the Lora pointed to the backroom, before glancing over to Bean who had muttered to himself. She clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth, forming a 'tsk' sound as she walked into the backroom where her Greatsword laid in pristine shape on a wooden table. It donned a new blade, however held the familiar snake-hilt that she had on her old one. Artemisia soon exited out of the backroom, Greatsword in her two-hands as the blade became prominent even in the room filled with blades; it held a shiny blade that reached for the wall with a snake wrapped around the hilt. The sword held an ominous and menacing appearance, before she soon sheathed it into its custom-sheath that held engravings into the metal.*
Donna
Marius whistled, impressed. "That's a good blade, maybe he isn't as incompetent as I thought he was." Marius chuckles and looks to see if the man chuckles as well. When he doesn't Marius clears his throat and moves on. "Alright, so what now? Where are we headed?"
Miles
*Artemisia smirked as she flaunted the Greatsword in her sheath to Marius,* "Indeed it is. I appreciate your handiwork." *She hinted to the smith her gratitude, before reaching into her pouch where she fished a small leather sack filled coppers. The brunette tossed it to the Lora, before turning to Bean and proceeded to walk past him.*
Donna
Marius followed behind her. "Well? Where are we headed?" He said as he walked back and forth behind her shoulders. He looked like a puppy who had just found a new owner. "Off to fight some bandits? Off to kill a man? What first?"
Miles
*Artemisia shrugged her shoulders as the two left the smithy,* "First, we need to get out of the city. Head towards the minor nations to battle off monsters hidden in the skin of their victims." *She walked down the street, Marius alongside her as she blew a light breath from in between her lips,* "I guess it's time to introduce myself, since yelling 'stranger' when you're about to be pierced isn't the best tactic. I'm Artemisia."
