The High priest seems to regard the Paladin with a smile as he walks into the room, obviously appreciating the gesture of formality. A slight giggle can be heard from behind the knight.<strong>"Hopefully indeed, Good sir. I look forward to such an occasion."</strong>And with that the doors shut behind them, and the courtyard grows quieter as Soren gestures for the acolytes to continue their work..<strong>"Thank you for meeting us, Alex. And no, you are on time. As for what I require, it's more a request."</strong>The high priests, the acolytes growing closer to closing the ceremony.<strong>"I believe we are going to run into issues with the knight and warrior asked to participate in the troubles concerning Adelle's minions. I know I told you that I did not want the church to get involved, but the situation leaves us little choice. I can only send those I trust fully, you are one of the few. Would you head out with the travelers to quell the issue?"</strong>The priest explains as simply as he can.<br/><br/>Meanwhile the scene at the golden cockatrice grows more subtle by the minute. Arendel's citizens are no strangers to strong drink after a hard days work, and the cute waitress nods to Pipra when she places her order.<strong>"It'll be up shortly milady."</strong>She chirps, and leads the trio to a table before moving off to fetch the drinks. Eyes linger the three travelers, and Anarchy stands as she glances at the two others.<strong>"I think I'll need to excuse myself for just a bit. I'll join back in as the pot lowers."</strong>And with that the blue haired woman sways off, and behind her approaches the waitress as she comes to bring the remaining two their ordered drinks.<br/><br/>Torhan can easily notice the blush that crosses the blonds cheeks when asked about her name, but she doesn't dally.<strong>"My name is Alice, good sir."</strong>She replies simply, though her eyes light up at the showing of coins. It's obvious she thinks the tip hefty, and she giggles as she slips the coin into her apron.<strong>"Very generous of you, sir. Though gosh, we have cards but I'm not sure I could actually play with you."</strong>She says as she glances each way, and then peers back to the bar when a man just gives her a nod.<strong>"Well, I'll be serving you as is, so perhaps it's fine."</strong>She seems unsure, but a smile is on her lips as she nods.<br/><br/>Alice walks to switch in the coins, and comes back with a deck of cards that she places on the table. It's easy for Torhan to tell why she doesn't mind joining in, it's after all close to the shift switch and she can make extra money if she serves after hours while gaming. Sitting down at the table, she sighs with nervousness.<strong>"I'm something of a novice, but I think I can manage alright.</strong>She says to the two with a bright smile. Around the now trio a group starts to look in at them. Those just getting off their daily work are coming in for a drink as well, and men and women alike seem to pay attention to the game as it starts up.
