Conversation had trailed off at some point, but Kevice couldn't figure out when. Vasyli grew more and more dazed and unresponsive as the half-elf was content to ramble on drunkedly. When he figured him asleep he groaned a little with some short, incoherent biting remarks under his breath and laid there for some time. His brain was too much a mess to think really, even his thoughts were a slur, so there was little to reminensce about, or consequences to dread. Just.. silence. Eventually he fell under without making any real effort to rest.<br/><br/>A sharp jolt of the fancy cot he was splayed over, a leg hanging off it's side for good measure, caused him to stir. But it was really the loud, heated argument that drove Kevice to prop himself up on his weak arms and squint hard at Osran who seemed to loom over them both for a time. "Underesti... what?" Advice? He could barely string together what the man was going on about, Vasyli's retorts registering as just a clutter of meaningless words. Frustrated, Kevice pulled his weary form out of bed and stretched his arms around in circles, a pang shocking him in the temple at the sudden shift in orientation. He really, really didn't want to have to deal with whatever this was, this workplace strife between the human and Vasyli. Maybe with a clearer head he would've been willing to argue back, maybe even threaten to sock the man in the face for being a bother in that faux friendly way of his, but not now. Groaning, he pushed past Osran for the mouth of the tent.<br/><br/>Stopping halfway out, he got hit with a stroke of guilt and squint his eyes back at Vasyli like he only slept an hour. "See ya when things are quiet, eh?" Sniffling and scrunching his nose, he jabbed at Osran with a glare and shuffled out of the room, glad the sun wasn't high up enough to make him feel like his retina were on fire. He needed  a trip to the sinks, a piss and some time to shape up before Mathis sent someone to track him down and put him to another day of work.<br/><br/>Kevice was almost too out of it to do a double take when he saw Mathis making rounds of the grounds so early, with a stranger at his side.<br/><br/>The ringleader spoke candidly, words honest and friendly to his new friend, associate, employee. This magic went by many titles but all rang with promise and Mathis was confident in his talents. He'd sent Osran to fetch his partner, surprised Vasyli wasn't the one he met that morning first. It raised some suspicion, setting an odd tone for the morning he hid for business' sake. Even more strange was that his rowdy little freakshow preformer was up and moving instead, leading to a fair share of worry.<br/><br/>Mathis grinned and bared it. "You should meet Henrik, he works with the animals. I'm sure he appreciates your kind gift more than I do." Of course the 'bird' looked hostile, backed into it's enclosure that the good man had hauled into their company. But their tamer could smooth those edges down and make the best of it since the damned timid thing was too savage to walk the premise like their bull.<br/><br/>Vasyli wasn't up and around yet, and Mathis just didn't have the room to go around and check up on everyone right now.<br/><br/>The day's guest of honor was left in the company of Henrik at the stables, bordered by enclosures of varying sizes and alive with the sounds of animals. Everything was kept clean by the staff should customers get a peek around the corner, and for occasions such as this. The newest addition to the tamer's collection was a man faced bird, huddled in the back of it's cage and immediately setting it's bright white eyes on the magician upon arrival. Despite being a beast, that gaze was filled with spite and a bloodlust, like he'd rip out the man's eyes should he come close enough to the bars. The harpy had spent most it's morning watching this new human inspect him like a mother does produce at the market, greedy eyes taking in the sight of his brilliant red plumage and long black hair. They exchanged no words, he refused to speak to this stranger, and what plans they had set for him now he couldn't fathom.
