Auric looks up from his novel, he closes it and stands. As he slips his novel on the table next to his chair, he moves towards the bar, beckoning the bartender over. "I'll take an mug of ale," he says with a coarse voice. The bartender complies, strutting over to the opposite side, and grabbing a mug. He proceeds to walk over to the tap, and pours some warm ale into the mug. He smirks to the knight idly, " Ere you are. That'll be a silver coin." He pulls out a silver, and places it on the bar, walking back to his chair. He catches a glimpse of the rogue that is seated behind him, only a few feet away, and dismisses her in his mind as no threat, proceeding to sit down. He blows a chilly gust from his mouth into the mug, cooling the ale to a crisp temperature. He takes a sip, leaning back as he opens the novel, continuing to read.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
