"This sake tastes like crap," Kain muttered to himself as he sipped on the clay cup that he had recieved. However, it was the only thing he had been able to drink in several days, so he appriciated the effort. Kain sat outside the bar like a drunk yet was not a drunk at all. He had drank only one cup of Sake because that was all he could afford at this point. Making a living in this world was tough. With no job, no family, no money, and basically no life, Kain was force to sit outside a bar with Sake and Manju. Kain was a young man of the ripe age of 23. He sat outside the bar and watched the people come and go, occasionally scowling at their judgemental looks. Finally he decide dit was time to get up. He picked his tall and scrawny self from the ground and popped his neck. "Boredom sucks..." He muttered again as he looked around for some way to get money, "Where the heck am I gonna get money for more Sake and Manju?" |

Ethstar absentmindedly walked around the reaches of town, his young and bright eyes searching throughout the crowds of unfamilar faces. This was the second city he had managed to wander into, and this time, while wandering, he had found a new diet. Berries. Some kind of blue berry that he had found in one of the many forests that seemed to litter this area. They were quite sweet, but had gotten a bitter aftertaste once the juice had flown down his throat. With a sigh, he wistfully remember the lovely tasting fruits, even though the foods on the Celestial plane had been much better. Much better indeed. However, one who was hungry wasn't one to complain about what meals he got. Ethstar just had needed food, so he had accepted what had managed to fly his way. Good stuff, those berries. Of course, he was guessing even the bland mushrooms of before would have tasted good in these situations. People, women mainly, would turn to stare at the six-foot tall man as he walked past. They couldn't admire any sculped muscles, or slim bellies, for the cloak that covered from the neck down to the ankles quickly smashed any dirty thoughts. But his face was a attraction in it's own right. The man was utterly, completely, and hauntingly beautiful. A side-effect of being an angel, one would suppose. But these young women thought he was a human, just like them, so they allowed themselves to flirt. Shamelessly as a matter of fact. As Ethstar meaninglessly wandered the busy streets, he managed to bump into a young blonde woman. She dimpled at him sweetly, not speaking, but smilling in a attempt to intrigue him. In human standards, yes, she was pretty. And Ethstar realized that. But in the Celestial plane, he had never really talked to any woman, much less had one flirt with him. So while she blushed and smile, batting her eyelashes at him... he stood in ackward silence, wondering what was going on. "I apoligize milady, I should have been watching where I was going." She gave him a charming smile, giggling at him in a flurry of girl-ness. The confused look in his eyes grew as she shook her head, and dropped into a curtsy. "I am no lady, sir. And do not worry, I don't mind a man like you running into me in the streets. Not at all." She gave another giggle, and Ethstar simply tried to laugh, politely barking out the emotionless sound. "Ah. Well, thank you, milady." She was completely and utterly baffling him. Why all the giggles, and why was she blushing so? Had he accidently said something to strike at her diginity? But, then, why would she be GIGGLING? With a sigh and a shake of his head, he moved past her, giving a short smile and leaving with her with a few words. "I apoligize milday, but I have places to be. Thank you for your kindness." She stopped midgiggle, giving his retreating back a look of both confusion and indignity. In a few moments, Ethstar had managed to find the only place that served food, and wander in. As he walked in the door, a passing glance was given to the scruffy looking one with the blade attached to his hip. Just a passing glance, one that most people who carried open blades would receive. But then Ethstar walked through the door, and any sight of the man was lost. Absentmindly, he popped his head side to side, causing the muscles to pop loudly. Underneath the cloak, two things of importance were hidden, one of which he had to fight not to flex. A hidden longsword, and a pair of folded angel wings. Bandaged yes, but aching from being in their cramped position for so long. Sighing slightly, Ethstar moved off to the side, out of the doorway, and tried to figure out how to get food. Perhaps more of those berries. The barkeep watched him with a wary look, while the various serving maids gave him seductive smiles. He tried to ignore them the best he could, still trying to find a hint of what to do. |

Eledin wandered around town watching al the fools, morons and thieves. But one topped them all. Some idiot was sitting outside the bar murmering thar he wanted more "sake" whatever that was. He was a mean man. "boredom sucks". Please! If you hang around here for more than three seconds you'll be attacked, threatened of challenged to a duel of some kind. Speaking of being attacked, he hoped he was not found here by the elves who were after him. Eledin walked up to the man. "So what brings you to Kellen?" |

Kain glanced at the newcomer and then turned towards him. He realized that he was looking down upon the man. Kain smirked and then replied, "Who the heck are you and why should you care why I'm here... and if you must know, I'm here because the Manju is good, as for the Sake, it bites." Kain put on a dumbfounded expression on his face as if to say "did I say that?". The he cocked his head to the side and met the gaze of a man who was about his height. "Hey..." he said to the newcomer, "Not that you'll wanna know but my name is Kain and I would be 'obliged' to know yours, despite my earlier remarks." He watched at the tall man walk in the Tavern, "And would you happen to know who the black haired man is that just walked in the tavern is?" |

Ethstar brushed a few silky locks of hair away from his face with two fingers, clearing his view a little more. His gaze focused on the man behind the bar, and with another sigh, Ethstar finally started walking toward the bar with one thought in his hungry minnd. Berries. With his luck, the man would likely laugh at him, blush at him, or perhaps giggle in a confounded way... but Ethstar was getting used to the humans by now. And anyway, not everyone that had acted strange had been humans. Gregori, the one in the woods... he had certianly acted strangely whenever Ethstar had called him an elf... but then again, the man had probably had a reason or two. With a slight smile to himself, Ethstar slipped into one of the barstools, the bartender giving him a polite smile, accompanied by a somewhat wary look. The town was not used to strangers such as he, completely cloaked and completely confused looking. The tall one that was outside had been strange enough. Asking for such foriegn foods that hardly anyone wanted to try, or eat. The man had wolfed them down though. It was kind of strange, how hungry the lad had seemed, but how little he had bought. Perhaps he was poor? The barkeeper smirked to himself, laughing inside. If they lad didn't have money, then too bad. Stirring himself from his thoughts, he finally spoke to the stranger. "Can I help you?" Ethstar gave a polite smile in return to the barkeepers own, looking straight into his eyes with a steady gaze. "Do you have any blue berries, sir?" The bartender stared at him in dead silence for a few moments, only the laughing and heavy drinking in the background being heard. Then, he finally spoke, a irritated tone to his deep voice. " I don't want trouble, so just stop with the funny business and make your order." Ethstar's eyes widened slightly, the smile slipping from his handsome face.He then quickly retreated, his voice coming out somewhat meek now. "Oh, yes milord. I will take a water. Would that suffice?" His eyes looked hopeful, ever changing emotions, from confidence to meekness in a mere matter of seconds. The bartender gave a nod, and turned to his little section, grabbing a mug and dipping it in a barrel of clean water. After he had filled it up, he spun around, sliding the wooden keg onto the table right in front of Ethstar. "Water is free, nothing else is." Ethstar gave another polite smile and a nod, delving a hand out of his cloak to wrap around the handle of the keg. "Thank you milord." With one last suspicious look, the barkeep gave a short nod. Milord? Who used those terms these days, and to a bartender none the less? |

"Eledin. Ethstar." The man sure didn't have good people skills. Ticking someone off as soon as you see them was not the best thing to do. But that aside he had mode up for it. Sorda kinda, but not really. Why in the world was ethstar here and why did he go in a bar. Why was he even in town to begin with? The man needed to know that if he didn't stop complaining about being bored that it would to exiting way to quick. |

At this point, all that Kain was really concerned about was getting some Sake, and the only way that he could think of getting that Sake was to pretend to be nice and try and bum some money off this Eledin. Kain smiled, "Eledin huh? So, who exactly is Esthar? He's a rather tall one wouldn't you say?" Kain walked into the tavern, assuming that Eledin would follow. As he walked in, a man dropped some bronze coins. He was plastered and Kain didn't mind at all... He picked up the bronze coins and put them into his pocket. He thought to himself 'Hey, if it means Sake, it's mine for the takin.' He pulled up a barstool next to the lonely man named Esthar and looked at him, "My, don't we look a bit out of place?" |

Ethstar quietly and solemnly stared over the barkeep's head and directly at a painting hanging on the wall. It was quite finely crafted, done with oils of some kind it seemed. The picture was one of a well, directly in the middle of a clearing surrounded by a few houses and bushes. In the painting, it was in the dead of night, and twinkling stars could be seen hovering within the dark sky. The painting was made as from the viewpoint of a mere passerby looking upon the peaceful scene. The closest thing was a lampost, the oil burning device handing from a stick of wood. Ethstar smiled to himself, secretly enjoying the work of art. Where he had come from in the Celestial plane, not many of these could be found. Paintings and books had become scarce once he had joined the Legions. They did not think it wise to have baubles and trinkets of wordly values lying around, interfering with plans and training. So they said. Perhaps the esteemed beings of the Light were just jealous of the one talent that they didn't seem to have. With a dark mood settling upon him, he registered the voice coming in from his side. Craning his head to the left a little, he gazed at the rough one he had passed on the way in. A quick glance down took in the katana, the eyes quickly sliding back up as if they didn't want the man to think they were gawking or anything. Ethstar shifted uncomfortably in his seat, bringing the cool mug of water up to his lips before answering. He closed his eyes as the fresh liquid flowed over his lips, cooling the chapped skin and helping his sore throat. The berries had quenched his hunger, but he hadn't realized how thirsty he had been up until now. With a pleasured sigh, he gently set down the mug, and finally answered the man beside him. "Out of place? We are?" Ethstar glanced off to the women and men, trying especially to avoid any giggling ones. "Is it the giggles?" He blinked in a spurt of confusion, his earlier thoughts on how strange this race was setting in once more. He briefly wondered if the man beside of him was just as weird as the others, but he decided it would be wise to just wait. He HAD met one reasonable person. The girl in... Taras. The girl he had ran into at the library. |

Alcholic retard! How much of this sake drink did this guy want. He even took money from the guy at the door. Eledin wanted to knock his block off but thought better of it. He walked up to the bar stool beside the man. "Bartender a water please." He turned to the new guy. "So what exactly is your name and what is sake?" |

"My God! What life do you have when Sake is not a part of it... much less Manju! Sake is a wine, delicious in taste and full of alcohol. Of course it's supposed to be delicious..." He made a sidelong glance at the bartender, "And, the giggles? Oh, I see, the chick from outside right? She got you all flustered?" Kain smirked at Esthar, "But, then again, you have no idea what a chick is and you didn't get flustered because you have no idea what she was doing, and of course, you have no clue what the "giggles" as you call them are." He grinned and turned to the bartender, "Sake, and make it good this time, I'm a paying costomer, I don't pay for crap!" Kain laughed as the bartender ran to do his duties, "So, what's a pair like you two doin' here in Kellen? You guys are in the same... eh, troupe right?" |

With another sip of the water, Ethstar absorbed all the man was saying. How would he have any clue if Ethstar knew what the girl was doing, or if Ethstar knew what a girl even was? Even so, in any case, the man was wrong on several points, so Ethstar didn't get too worried. The stranger had no clue of his motives anyway. But nonetheless, Ethstar slightly tensed up, and started to watch the man a bit closer, wary of anything the stranger would try to do or say. Even though the stranger couldn't possibly know he was an angel, the aroogant words, and the displayed katana had put Ethstar on his guard. Finally, after taking yet another sip of water, Ethstar calmly spoke, his eyes narrowing a bit. He was slipping into it again, and all because this man had put him on his guard. A combination of taunts, the dangerous blade at his side, and the arrogance leaking from the man. And this side of Ethstar had been held back way too long. The pupils of Ethstar's eyes dilated ever-so-slightly, giving him a slightly intense look to his eyes. "Of course I am aware of what the giggles are." Another sip, and this time, something of a cold smile. "That noise you just made right after the bartender ran to get your drink." This was not even a jest, this was a taunt, plain and simple. The yes almost dared KAin to do something about it, dared him to try and make the first move. And he was lucky Eledin had asked his own thoughts. What the heck was Sake? The man had done a good job of explaining it though, so Ethstar didn't have to complicate things more by making up some kind of rough lie to explain why he didn't know what sake was. For a passing moment, Ethstar thought of Eledin, and his eyes nearly slipped from Kain's face to regard that of Eledin's. He was being rude to the elf, and he knew it. He was sorry for it, but right now, he was too deep to stop. Might as well follow through. The elf went unignored for the time being, and Ethstar's eyes got even more dangerous as time passed. The pupils dilated to pinpricks, while the blue-white color of his eyes thinned to a small ring around the pupil. Kain would be able to feel some kind of danger, radiating from the cloaked one who sat next to him, radiatating like a beacon of light. The man was slowly but surely getting quite angry, and the taunts of the stranger had not helped what-so-ever. Under the cloak, tight muscles taunted for any fight that may start, for any moves that may be made. |

Eledin wasn't sure that Kain should have more alchhol. Maybe some juice or better yet water. He looked at Kain. "NO" He was now starting to get on Eledin's nerves. He had long fuse but it was burning short. Calm down. Relax. Take your time and think. Eledin took a long gulp of water and looked at Kain. "Where are you from?" |

Kain nearly dropped his Sake, but put on a mask of humor, "Your funny, and..." He kicked his feet up on the bar, "You don't scare me!" Kain took a long drink from the clay cup and held it up. "Best stuff in the world!" Kain glanced over and smirked at Eledin's expression, "I'm... uh, I have no idea where I'm from... I know, really convincing right... must be the Sake, they say it "clouds the mind." What do they know?" He looked back at Esthar, "You tryin to start a fight here pretty boy?" |

Yes, definitely deep into it now. Way to deep to be able to back out. Actually, maybe he could get out of it now... but he really couldn't help himself. It had been way too long, and he was way too hungry, and his mind was in a jumble... this state of mind was the one thing he still had that was familar, and it was the one thing he was used too. His eyes darkened at the words fight, and they completely ignored the unknown taunt. Pretty boy? He had no clue what that meant. Eyes slid down to regard the throbbing vien near the left side of Kain's neck, which stood out down at the base of the neck. It would be quite simple. A simple slit to that area right there, and he would die. That was all it would take. The sharpness of a silver piece of steel pressing up agaisnt the exposed flesh... quick, silent, and completely deadly. But what about all the people around here? That wouldn't do. And anyway. KAin had just asked him if he wanted to fight, hadn't he? Under the cloak, the right hand slid across the waist to grasp the hidden longsword sheathed at the left hip. And Ethstar's eyes slid down to regard the area were the heart was. A simple stab. That was all it would take. That one would be a little less quick then the throat, but it will still bring up the same result. A spray of red. For a brief second, Ethstar considered his cloak. Would bloodstains permantly stain the black material? Black would offset red quite well wouldn't it...? If he did this, it would have to be performed so that no blood managed to get on his cloak. His voice came out, cold and somewhat threatening. "Name your spot." The yes remained the same, boring into his head, not changing positions. If Kain turned his head right, he would catch that gaze. If he turned his head to the side, the gaze would remain to bore into his cheek. Yes, if this was to be done... it would have to be done elsewhere. For no one could know Ethstar was indeed an Angel. That thought remained clear. |

This needed to stop right now. If the kept this up they were gonna beat the tar out of each other. Drinking more alchol wasn't helping the matter. Kain really didn't know when to keep his mouth shut. Eledin stood up and walked over to a booth and sat down. If anything did happen, which it will he would be out of the way. |
