Reining in BC, Tali looked down at the man who spoke to her, eyes going from first his shadowed face then to the familiar pouch he held. The once stern look she wore on her face, shifting to one of amusement and excitement.<br/><br/>â€œOh you have made my day!â€ she exclaimed reaching down for the pouch and taking it quickly. â€œYou have saved me from a miserable day!â€<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Baelkash smiled and nodded, bowing slightly. "Anything for a fellow wanderer, m'lady." Straightening up, he continued. "Could you use a companion, for a short while at least? I must admit I'm a man down on my luck."</span><br/><br/>"M'lady?" she snorted and chuckled, "I am no more a lady then this bull is a horse."<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">He shrugged. "Chivarly can get a lonely man a long way. Besides, in a world like this, we could do with a little common decency. You have an...interesting friend." Baelkash eyed the bull wearily, and then returned his attention to the woman. "Speaking of which, how rude of me, I have not introduced myself. My name is Baelkash.</span><br/><br/>"I am Taliha. This is BC, he looks like trouble but he is really just a baby." he reached down and patted the side of the great bull who turned his head to eye Baelkash. "As for company I could do for some. Been only he and I for the longest time now, and given that you found my weed. I think I can at least share it with you as well as a drink, or two"<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"That would be wonderful, Taliha." Baelkash said, smiling again.</span><br/><br/>"Are you familiar with this place? I fear that I would never be able to find my way to a decent place for drink and food. I would rather get out of this saddle sooner rather then later," her tone friendly as she spoke, seeming completely at ease.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Afraid not, I'm a foriegner to this land.  I reckon that tavern over there is as good as any." He said, pointing to a sign.</span><br/><br/>Following his gaze she nodded, "Apparently my eyes are covered in traveling dust. For I did miss that. No matter," she kicks BC lightly with her heels and steers him off in that direction.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Baeliash sent up a silent prayer of thanks to whatever gods may hear him. He was not a devout believer, but it was a miracle she had yet to discover who he was.  Ho nodded as she spoke and trailed after her as they continues on to the in .</span><br/><br/>Without much else to be said between the two Taliha lead the small group to the tavern that her new companion had pointed out. Grateful beyond measure that there was a decent stable to house BC, paying the stable hand a silver to ensure BC was brushed, fed and petted while she and the other man went into the tavern proper.<br/><br/>Entering she stopped for a moment, her eyes flicked from corner to corner before she lead the way to a table off to the side of the bar. A groan left her lips as she sagged gratefully into the chair, â€œAh. It feels so good to be in a real chair for a change.â€ She remarked as she waved the tavern wench over, â€œA couple Ale's for us and a hearty stew with some bread for each of us.â€<br/><br/>When the wench left she focused on Baelkash, â€œSo, Baelkash, just what are you doing in this place?â€
