The patrons of the Royal Signet were a welcoming enough bunch for tavern folk. Most of them shared grand stories of..business ventures. Very boring for<a class="link link--external" href="http://i.imgur.com/jaLIK.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Nathaniel</a>as his idea for idle chatter were stories of adventure to fuel his desire for some himself, maybe discussion of nature to inspire him. Really though, as much as he was showered in wealth back home, talks of trade fell on deaf ears for him. Desperately, he needed something to occupy his time until he fancies to go out again.<br/><br/>Just then as he thought of it, the sudden change in the atmosphere of the tavern grabbed his attention. Often in common inns something that would silence an entire group of people would be an announcement or a calm before a violent bar brawl. In a more civilized establishment such as the Royal Signet, something that would grab an entire tavern's attention was..quite trivial. Taking a look himself, he found a duo of a halfling and a human, both women but as much as he enjoyed company of ladies, the one thing he truly noticed were their get up. Rugged and well-armed. Either they were soldiers or they were a bunch much like himself.<br/><br/>My kind of company, he thought. Quick as he noticed them was he to leave his current company that were comprised of wine and fat artisans that eyed the two women with both disgust and desire. Truly these two had constant dealings with whores and from how they looked at the clearly common women, the only time they ever talk to females were to buy sexual favors.<br/><br/>"If you would please excuse me, gentlemen." Nathaniel bowed to the two that had their attention elsewhere. He eyed the bartender and found him sneering quite a bit, perhaps intending to have one of the servers throw them out.<br/><br/>"Ladies! I'm glad you could make it!" he purposely shouted out for everyone to hear, though with the silence filling the air, it didn't took much. He stood behind the two and pointed at each of them as he looked at the bartender, silently gesturing that they were with him. Not that he needed to question him anyway.<br/><br/>"This way please, I have a table waiting for us upstairs."
