Ryudo ate his meal and took a swig of his ale. It was nice being there. It was nice eating again. He could sense some tension in the air as he looked around at all the other travelers. He spotted two or three dark brooding types sitting in the corners.<em>After my meal, I'm gunna have to talk to one of them. They certainly will know where to find some work.</em>He looked at the woman in the back with her hood covering her face, and the man at the end of the bar with a off putting demeanor.<br/><br/>He noticed the halfling sitting at the bar, making the mood more lively. He noticed the melody she was playing. He heard it once or twice on his travels, after all he's been to many towns and many taverns. He walked over to her, placing his huge sword next to his spot at the bar. "You play quite well." Ryudo tossed her a few coins. He didn't have much else.
