It probably wasn't a place where she'd like to settle down, not that she intended to be doing that anytime soon, but it was animated and dynamic enough to keep her interested for the time being. It was also a place from where she could go down many different paths, whether it was on her own or with the remnants of her mercenary unit which had paid the lion's share of the blood for only a meager portion of the glory and spoils during the last battle.<br/><br/>Her choice would have been much easier without Bhalar's presence. Xi realized that past allegiances hardly mattered where they were now, a whole world away from their respective homelands, and furthermore that Bhalar almost certainly had nothing to do with the raid on the monastery, and yet still, just the sight of him was enough to bring back those terrible memories. Even just a glance at him from across the inn had been enough to make images of the burning monastery and the sounds of her friends' screams briefly flash through her thoughts.<br/><br/>Obviously, Xi didn't want to think about that now. She never did. Looking around for a more pleasant distraction, she spotted Lukas sitting all by himself like he often did and decided to pay him a visit. The two of them got along quite well, having chatted about remedies and whatnot a couple of times in the past. Additionally, Xi wasn't the typical close-minded mercenary who believed that the only way of proving your worth was through close combat. The way she saw it, befriending Lukas meant having priority if she ever had wounds that needed to be tended to and somebody watching her back from afar in battle.<br/><br/>Of course, it didn't hurt that the man made for good company, since Xifeng wasn't as skilled of an actress as Goose or Mira, nor was she trying to be. Sauntering over to the handsome physician, she casually took a seat almost directly in front of Lukas,<em>on</em>his table rather than<em>at</em>it. "Here, try this." She offered him her half full wineskin along with her sweetest smile, having overheard the little exchange that he'd had with one of the serving wenches. Of course, she intentionally omitted to mention that it was filled with spiced firewine that could bring even most grown men to tears if they weren't accustomed to extreme spiciness. Xi was betting that his reaction would be totally worth it.
