Maximus frowned as Lien explained how dysfunctional his family was. It saddened him to hear about how his people were being wrongly led by his delusional father. "I'm sorry Lien," Max said giving the prince a small hug. After a few moments the young assassin realized he hadn't properly said hello to his friend Eldrin. He stood up on his stool and leaped at his thief friend laughing and yelling, "RAWR!"
Icylius was trying to calm himself down when he heard the girl to his left get up and walk upstairs. He opened his eyes to watch her go and reallized that she was one of the people Alemine travelled with. Her name was Pyrrha if he wasn't mistaken. What was she doing here? Icylius shrugged and leaned his head back against the wall. When Pyrrha returned Icylius opened his eyes again and his heart skipped a beat as he saw Alemine trailing behind her. Had the woman heard what Eldrin said? What she told Alemine? His anger returned at the thought of Eldrin blatantly announcing that he liked the girl. The flustered teenager mooved his chair farther back against the wall into a shadow to try and hide himself from everyone.

Halt looked up just as Alemine happily came down the stairs, smiling sunnily at him. He knew that she was always extremely happy and more of herself when she just woke up from a nap. He was about to look back at the map when he noticed that Alemine was wearing new clothes. A fitted new dark brown top, a pastel blue and white short skirt and fancy new brown boots that extended up just above the knee. He put his drink down, staring at Pyrrha in indignation.
"Pyrrha." He told her, crossing his arms. Pyrrha sat down next to him. "Good morning, Halt!" Alemine half sang, plopping down on her stool, her smile still on her face. "Pyrrha, you told me you two were going into that store just to look. How much did this cost?" he asked, gesturing to Alemine's new outfit. Pyrrha rolled her eyes.
"Don't get your panties in a knot. It's not like we can't afford it. Besides, she looks cute. She already has her armor being made back in Mycenlaea. Bartender! Something virgin for the kid," she told Halt, then called to the bartender for a not alcoholic drink for Alemine. She didn't show it, but Alemine was scarily hyper when she drank spirits. Worse than even Hastling. "It's bad enough Aseikh stole one of Lon Lon Ranch's new dog breed puppies for her..." he muttered. Alemine's eyes widened.
"Puppy? Puppy?! Puppy!" she squealed, kicking her legs excitedly. Halt promptly face palmed. Pyrrha smiled, but was all business. "Cool it, Solas. We got work to do. Recognize any of those people there?" she asked, nodding in the direction of the group. Alemine bobbed her head rapidly. "Good. You know what to do. What we're going to do is nothing at all, but something is better than nothing. Sit tight and look average. The side show is about to start, literally," Pyrrha told the girl Halt nodded. "The Eldrin is with them. It's always a party with him around..." he said, and went back to consulting his map.
Alemine promptly quelled her bubbliness, her back hunching and a blush appearing on her face in less than an instant. It was like a new person was standing in place of the girl. A clean slate. Alemine fervently looked around, looking for Icylius, who was usually dragged around by the cute little kid named Max. She almost felt bad for not being herself, knowing her and the kid would have if she was her normal self. If even these two were their normal selves, she realized, as Halt and Pyrrha sat stiff and formal next to each other, as if they really did hate each other.

Blade exhaled loudly. It may have been a failed laugh, but he was too tired to be sure. "I have a friend in the Gorons. Next in line for the Goron throne. I will promise you nothing, but he will listen to me. I will make your case when we next meet."

"Please you don't need to go through the trouble." Lien stammered. He had a thing for not asking favors from anyone, heck he hates causing any one trouble with his own problems.

"A good king does what is best for his people. Right now, that is letting me do what I suggested." Blade asserted. He wouldn't take no for an answer, since he knew that this could end Artof's attacks without bloodshed.

Maximus shot up off the ground after he wrestled Eldrin to it, "I win!" he yelled gleefully. Suddenly aware that the number of people at the bar was lower than earlier Max looked around and asked, "Hey, where'd Icylius go?" Max scanned the bar and found him trying to hide in a dark shadow at a corner table. "Hey Icylius!" he called out strolling over to his friend, "What are you doing over here? Come back to the bar and have fun with us."
Icylius scowled at Max and looked away from him.
"Ohhhh no you don't," Max said grinning, "I won't take no for an answer, come on." Max grabbed the teenager's hand and lifted him out of his seat.
Icylius sighed heavily, he knew he wasn't getting away from this one. He might as well face it like a man. The child led him over to where he sat before and promptly called to the bartender to get Icylius some water.
As Max dragged him over he glanced over at Alemine, whom he noticed had an entirely new attire. His mouth dropped a little, she looked stunning. Realizing was staring he quickly ripped his eyes away and grabbed the drink Max had ordered him.
"You should go talk to her," Max whispered, grinning happily. He clearly noticed that Icylius was staring at Alemine.
Icylius scoffed at the boy and elbowed him in the ribs, "Shut up, kid," he retorted.
Max just giggled and turned back to the bartender to get his own beverage.

"Fine . . . perhaps we can finally fine a place to look forward to whenever Artof has finally decided to stop being so damn psychotic about taking over Hyrule." Lien said. If the gorons do in fact allow the Dragona people safe haven in their lands, then perhaps Lien can finally send word to Yami to bring the refugees of Dragona over to Hyrule. That way so many innocent lives wouldn't be at risk of Artof's mad reign of power.
He would need to catch up with Blade later when he does go to the meeting to discuss things further. But first thing first. "Forgive me for asking but has anyone seen Oarashi? He disappeared while we were fighting." He inquired outloud to the group, hoping someone would know where the young sea dragon had ran off too. It has been nearly the whole day now since he had seen Oarashi and now he was getting worried. What if one of Artof's men captured him? Hold him as random to tempt the Sea Dragons to join Artof's forces? Honestly, Lien can't bear to think such thoughts.

Max downed the water the bartender brought him in one huge gulp, then turned to Lien. "Oh! I think I know where he is," Max practically shouted, "When Icylius and I were coming out of our room I thought I saw him go in one, he might be upstairs," Max suggested.

Lien blinked. "You sure you saw him?" he asked. If it was really him then that's a relief to know he wasn't in the dark dragon's clutches.

Max placed a hand on his chin and made a thinking face, "Uhhhmmmm, maybe? I know got a side view but it looked like him," he replied.

And the three, seemingly pouring over their map, came in closer and began to discuss their plans in Mycenlaean. It appeared that nothing changed, save for the appearance of Alemine, whose choppy hair fell forward prettily as she listened to her orders, her eyes downcast.
In the booths against the wall, a hooded man raised his head from his drink, the light of the lantern on the table illuminating the bottom half of his face a small, onesided grin on his lips as he saw the individuals at the bar.

A prickle ran down Lien's back, as if he was being watched by someone. Of course he didn't know who it was and instead of trying to bring attention to the group by looking at who it was, he kept queit about the Dragons. After all, it could be Artof's spy for all he knows. "Anyways I find rabbits as such fasicnating creatures, even with one of Hyrule's best archer I've never seen a rabbit ever hit with a bow let alone caught at all."

"Tasty little bastards. Lots of leg meat. The hearts are the tastiest, though. Must be all that hopping around." Blade replied without skipping a beat.

"Really? I never had rabbit meat at all," Lien spoke, "So their hearts are tasty you say? how do you catch a rabbit?"

"I mostly just strangle 'em with my whip. It's easy enough, but it's far more satisfying to get the drop on one from a tree or something." Blade explained. Other bar patrons turned to listen, but they didn't judge. You had to eat, after all.
