He silently cursed himself for such a beginner's mistake. The tankard, he had forgotten all about the tankard standing on the table. Of course the girl would notice. He had watched her floating around the room,  While she twisted and turned through the room, she looked like a butterfly, its weaving through the room faultlessly. The bloody tankard.<br/><br/>He leaned forward a little, returning a smile himself. 'Although it must seem I travel lightly, I have brought it myself, lass, you should not be worried about me taking anything unasked for. But while you are here, can you please fetch me a tankard of your finest ale yourself?'<br/>There was really no need for, but courtesy obliged him to ask for one. 'Is there some food in this tavern too? I have been on a very long journey before arriving here and I must admit that I am a little peckish'.<br/><br/>It was true, he was hungry to a point, not that he really needed to eat immediately, yet while he was noticed, it would be an insult to not have some of the tavern's food. 'Anything hearty and meaty, if that is available. I have an appetite for meat'.<br/><br/>While not staring at her, he gave her a long glance, she had the appearance of a young girl, but something told him she must be older than her appearance gave away. She might, or might not, have some sort of spells working their magic in keeping her appearance younger as her years. Purposely he did not give his name for various reasons, mainly because it was unpronounceable for the inhabitants of this world, but where he hailed from it was believed that there was power in a name He had not noticed such beliefs on this world, people gave away their names freely and willingly, but old habits die hard. Along his travels on this world, he had always managed to avoid being asked his name, yet should the girl ask for it, in due time, he would have to come up with something.<br/><br/>He smiled wryly, no doubt the question would come, he just hoped not immediately. That'd give him some more time to come up with something appropriate.
