After a long day of selling and shopping, Xarius is relieved to settle in for a nice meal with his colleagues. The ship had been laden with quite a bit more cargo than he'd anticipated, and while he hadn't been able to get near as much equipment as he may of wanted, he walked away from their shopping excursion a great deal more prepared than he'd been at the start of the day.<br/><br/>Their choice of diner had come with high praise from one of the local merchants, and with just one step inside, Xarius can tell why. It had a unique seating arrangement that demanded ones attention, with a direct connection to the ocean, it filled the establishment with the  sounds and scents of the sea. Which was something Xarius had been getting a lot of lately, and more for it, as they were being served sushi. Despite being told rumors of an extended menu being offered at this establishment. News of which was not entirely surprising, given the overall nature of the town, and those who ran it. From their brief interactions throughout the day Xarius hadn't quite gotten the full breadth of how the town was run. Aron's description had been enough to set the paladin's guard high, as did the caliber of armed thugs in place to guard the restaurant in which they were currently dining. Even so, it was nice to sit down and eat, this being the first real meal the paladin had had in quite some time after all.<br/><br/>While his attention had primarily been directed at negotiating with the varying merchants they'd dealt with throughout the day. It seems as if the other members of their little crew had picked up on various opportunities for work and profit. Listening to each of them speak as the night goes on Xarius occupies himself with his meal, focusing largely on the fishier portions of the food provided, going so far as to give up his bread voluntarily to Mona before she reaches over and snags it as was the case with Garth. At least until they've all pitched varying ideas. "I like Chira's lead... would allow us a chance to make some money, as well as getting to work with one of the mob bosses in the area. Which could in turn lead to taking some bounty hunting work in that regard, or shaking things up as Garth suggested." Xarius addressing the options, figuring the first was more in line with his previous line of work, especially if demons were truly involved. "Sailing off isn't completely out of the question mind you,just, I'd rather my pockets be a little deeper before setting out." Of course there was more to it than just that, waiting out a possible response from the imperials being one of them, as well as Xarius ultimately wanting to make his way home and see his name cleared.<br/><br/>For the immediate  future however,he wasn't going anywhere, anytime soon. He'd have to make due with the port town the ex prisoners had washed up in. While having a fine set of clothing made him feel a far deal better, he had a long way to go, until he'd be satisfied. Finished with his food, Xarius takes a moment to look around the establishment. Observing the various guests and their dining preferences. On more than one occasion he witnesses an exchange of coin at varying tables, the feline can only imagine what kind of dealings were going on in front of him. Why if this was his home town, he'd be tempted to step in, if he knew ill doings were afoot. Yet here he was outnumbered, law took a back seat in this area of the world, and while the streets were not flooded with crime, rape and murder on the surface, Xarius could only imagine how dirty the city's underbelly was. The thought of taking up bounties on truly evil and influential targets in the city did strike his fancy, though in reality most bounties would likely be set by those with money, so he could end up doing said evil's dirty work, hits being made on various ne'er do wells of the lower class. Sailing away did sound appealing, as Xarius shifts his attention to the open sea area of the diner. But going anywhere else ill prepared risked the chance of being imprisoned all over again. They were free for now, but his name had not yet been cleared.
