Drawing a casual, but surprisingly devilish grin for the usually rather uptight naga, Nilia mused, "I would happily put some lowlife street-gang to better use, if they were so kind to offer themselves up in a ill-advised shakedown, buuut, I was more worried about our winnings being whisked away from us while we slept, and weren't awake to properly deal with the perpetrators", while her steadily softening out tail rumbled quite hungrily at the thought. Chowing down on a worthy adversary was of course the most exquisite of meals, but wholly dominating lesser people by reducing them to mere sustenance, now that had it's own type of charm, atleast to the outcast noodle!<br/><br/>Still smirking gently, the serpentine fighter shook her head all the same, before giggling, "Though, unless you have a good plan for it, I thiiink we should just head to a inn and order a good bit to eat, rather than going criminal-hunting in the night. I would also really like to properly relax, and get the arena dust cleaned out from underneath my scales"<br/><br/>To Irice, Nilia first gave an appreciative nod, before following it up with, "While some extra armor for my tail as well wouldn't be bad, I was mostly just thinking about a breastplate. My scales are pretty sturdy as it is, while my human half is not, after all. Uh, have a safe trip then Irice! It seems like we'll be staying at the Tipsy Unicorn, so I guess I'll stay there until you return. Even though we probably shouldn't idle long enough for you to get your forge properly blazing at this moment, your expertise would be much appreciated in picking out the best gear for the cost. I... I am not that good with budgeting or appraisals..."<br/><br/>By the time Adriaan made it his way to her, on his round to pay off his bet, Nilia would just shake her head and push the coin away, simply stating, "I didn't bet against you, so I will not accept this."<br/><br/>And so, the large lamia, with her two obvious, but softened up lumps swelling out her thick tail slithered after Adriaan into the Tipsy Unicorn, likely with Brelia by her side, her tail emitting audible glushes and sloshes as it snaked from side to side, shaking up it's acidic, and busily digesting contents. Though she did take a moment to ingest and process her surrounding upon entering the unfamiliar inn, Nilia soon joined Adriaan by the counter, and, a while after he had gotten his reply and finished his conversation, the snake girl would lean in over the bar to look more fully upon the tiny barkeep, as she said, "Hello. Do you serve fruity beverages here? Either alcoholic or not would be fine."<br/><br/>Hailing from a mostly carnivorous species, Nilia couldn't regularly consume much plant-matter without suffering from indigestion, even though she loved the taste of fruit. So despite kinda being a bit of a lightweight when it came to alcohol, considering her size, a good cider or something else where a lot of the fructose had been converted into alcohol, was something she couldn't pass up on!<br/><br/>Though, once she had finally wetted her tongue after her long time in the arena, the naga's attention was soon drawn towards the wrestling crowd. Irice probably wouldn't find the noodle engaged in a wrestling match as she returned, as just brawling it out in an inn seemed a bit uncouth to her. Of course, if someone did pick a fight with her, Nilia's pride hardly allowed her to decline!<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Perception: 13 <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://orokos.com/roll/651551">https://orokos.com/roll/651551</a><!-- m --></div></div></div>
