Artie arrived at the abandoned house he had taken temporary residence in before Eldrin and Kadina. He pushed open the door and let Sky's light illuminate the path ahead where several barrels of the island beer he spoke of lay and nearby a wardrobe that he for some reason did not notice before. He shrugged and walked over to it and opened it revealing a red tunic with gold chain mail and golden armored gauntlets and boots.
The gauntlets each had a ruby set into the top part that covered his hands and on the top portion of his boots.
The hero looked down at his green tunic and noticed it's smell and it was torn in places.
"I do suppose it is time to retire this tunic. Besides... the red headband doesn't quite match it." he chuckled to himself as he pulled off the green tunic and old chain mail and replaced it with the gold and red.
Artie had assumed the armored gauntlets were just armor plating but he discovered they were actual fingerless gloves. He pulled his old gloves off and replaced them and next took off his old boots and replaced them with the new armored ones.
An old and cracked mirror rested in the corner to which Artie turned to face it and he smirked as he pulled his sword and Hylain shield out and looked at himself.

Kadina stumbled through the doorway behind him to feast her eyes on all the barrels of booze. "Ha! You weren't joking. Thizis fantastic!" Her speech slurred as she lazily held her hands out to her sides. It was as if she were waiting for the goddesses themselves to insert a beer funnel into her drooling mouth and load her up. She zigzagged her way to the nearest barrel, jacked an old tin mug off the top of it, and removed the cork with only a slightly drunken struggle. You would have thought after picking up the tin cup that she would have filled it, but she instead kneeled and let the flow of beer run directly into her salivating mouth as Artie donned his new apparel.

"D-D'YOO KNOW HOW... HOW HARD THISSS PLACE IS TO FIND?!" Eldrin asked, apparently unaware of how loud he was talking, until he whispered (albeit loudly). "SSSSSHHHHHHH! Eldrin shut up!" He had a (obviously stolen) green balloon hovering over him, from where he'd tied it's string to his golden fang. Every time he talked, the balloon came down and bounced off his head. He was standing at the open window. A window that happened to be next to the door. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the thief seemed to think he needed to crawl through the window. Well... rather... he sort of slithered over the windowsill, and then rolled across the floor a bit, where he layed for a while, just staring at the ceiling and waiting for it to stop moving. He gave up on that when Kadina tapped a keg and let it flow.
Eldrin slipped the mug from Kadina's hand and held it under her chin, where almost half the beer she was trying to drink was spilling down in a stream. "Waste not, tovah." he managed to get out slur free. He pulled the mug out as it started to overflow, gave it a little clink against her skull as a toast, and drank up. When he was finished he stumbled toward Artie a couple of steps, but, ruling that a lost cause, he just sat down cross-legged on the floor instead. "Dems nice threads... threads... threads? Threads. What?" he stopped apparently confused, and massaged his temples for a minute. "Hey! Le'ss plllay a game!" he declared, apparently snapping out of whatever it was. "We can be like... be like... drinking gamers... we can play gaming drinks and stuff... and junk," he suggested, blinking one eye at a time (red then yellow, of course) and looking between his two friends, clearly excited. His normally lopsided grin was for some reason full when he was drunk, and right now it seemed to be spreading ear to ear.
"... threads, Artie. New nice... things..." he said randomly. Sort of finishing his sentence from before. "I like... I like your... yeah."

Eldrin had drunkenly slithered in through the window as Artie returned his sword and shield to their rightful place on his back. Turning around he saw Kadina and Eldrin clinking their glasses after which the thief slid upon the floor and drunkenly complimented his new attire.
"Thanks, Eldrin!" he responded as he grabbed an empty mug and tapped another barrel to let the beer flow.
He raised the mug to his lips and was about to take a sip when knocking came forth from the door. Artie lowered the mug and raised his eyebrows. Who knew he was here? Walking over to the door and opened it to come face-to-face down the barrel of a... banana?
"Alright, mate. I heard the tapping of a barrel." the owner of the banana said and he stepped into the light.
Artie looked him over and saw he wore a costume similar to the Assassins of Hyrule. Except it was of a pure white color with a blue chest and leather armor on his arms and shoulders. His hood obstructed most of his face but Artie could make out sunken eyes and a beard. He also carried two swords on his belt.
Kadina was still drunkenly giggling which caught the Assassin's attention and he grinned before lowering his banana and shoving Artie aside and taking a seat on one of the barrels next to Kadina.
"I dont believe my eyes. Kadina! I haven't seen you in years!" he said, looking her over from under his hood. "And still beautiful." he slyly added.

Kadina choked down a large gulp of beer in surprise after Eldrin clinked his mug with her skull. She nudged her little thumb into the tap and wiped her mouth before complimenting Artie's divine new getup. "Ravishing, mate. I wouldn't mess with ya." She winked.. er... just blinked lopsided and lazily from the effect of the alcohol before she unplugged her thumb and went at it again. It was truly mind boggling how a petite young lass like Kadina could put away so much spirit, not to mention being able to hold it down. She figured it would all catch up to her eventually but what the hell. She wasn't afraid of dying much, more she was afraid of not living. She giggled causing bubbles in the back of her throat to spew and fizz from her mouth as there was an audible gargle that sounded a lot like "yolo" amidst the bubbling babble.
Kadina quite liked the idea of a drinking game, but was too preoccupied at the moment to say so.
Just then, the door swung open frightening Kadina. She pulled her ever-thirsty face away, cheeks swollen full of beer as the barrel leaked on her little leather slippers. Her eyes were wide in disbelief.
The man at the door took a seat on a barrel next to her.
"I don't believe my eyes. Kadina! I haven't seen you in years! And still beautiful."
The beer harbored in Kadina's cheeks suddenly erupted from her mouth like a drunken volcano, spraying the man in the face and all over his elegantly white robe. Her cheeks flushed red but it was hard to tell if from embarrassment or from the comment Edward made of Kadina's beauty... or maybe it was from intoxication? Who knew really.
Either way, Kadina was notorious for countering attractive mens' advances with the friend zone, unless she had no problem bedding them. Her relationship with Edward, however, was a very peculiar one. She wouldn't deny that he was attractive as well as charming, but what she fancied most about Edward was their "work-flirt", or a taboo game of mutual attraction, taboo because you don't sleep with your fellow heist-man. A woman like Kadina would suddenly lose the respect of her skill and craft within the ring of thieves and only be valued for her... well... you get the idea.
Flirting was fun and she didn't have to worry about consequence with Ed. Neither of them were the type to commit to any one person, necessarily... At least not in a romantic way. She never had to worry about things getting serious. They were both far too independent, but the chemistry made things interesting and neither one was ever about to ignore it. They fed it, gave into it, entertained it. And it was fun.
That was especially easy with the influence of alcohol.
"Ed! What a pleasant surprise." She blushed again as she pulled the wing of her vest up to dry her mouth. She sincerely was surprised and was finding it difficult to compose herself. "You're just in time for the drinking game! I'd have thought you'd be at sea bossing around a crew of... skally-wags or what not. You must've received a new contract, eh?" She stood and wiped the spat beer from her smooth and darkened midriff, slinging the moisture from her fingertips as she pulled back his hood and flashed an amorous smile. It still bewildered Kadina that a man could look at the crazy, sloppy, childish mess that she was and still find her beautiful. "What else would bring you to shore?" She placed her hands on her hips knowing it was only a matter of time until he met her stance, towering almost a foot taller than she, only to embrace her in a bear hug and spin her around the room. As always.
Hell, he'd look for any reason to put his arms around her tiny waist, even if she reeked of booze.

Eldrin only noticed Kidd when the pirate stuck his pistol in Artie's face. Of course, he was only asking for beer, and they had plenty to share. Now, as one might assume, it was not in Eldrin's nature to even consider sharing. Sharing was this silly concept that he rarely ever even entertained. He was pretty damn good at not sharing, and even better at the total opposite of it. It truly was a gift, he liked to think... However, they had plenty, and Kidd was a friend. Eldrin stood up, slowly, and made his wobbly way to a stack of kegs. He found a bunch of really short fat quarter barrels, and picked one out. This, he proceeded to hurl at Kidd, or maybe Kadina... his aim was a bit off.
"Kadinner! You never told me you knew this random pirate assassin dude you never knew I met! And Kidd, ya never told me you knew Kadina! That's like the firs' thing I say when I meet a fellow low... low- something... life! Tha's it, life! Wait... what? Oh y-yeah, I'm all, 'Hi, I'm Eldrin, I know Kadina... unless she owes you somethin... in which case I hate that chick." Eldrin slurred and stumbled, absent-mindedly searching around for his mug as he did.

Edward placed Kadina back down after twirling her around the room and grinned.
"Ah. Kadina. Ye know me too well." he grunted before plopping down on a barrel across from her as a drunken Eldrin introduced himself.
"Well. You could say she owes me a few things." Edward said, winking slyly in Kadina's direction. "A favor being one of them."
The Assassin dug into his pouch and pulled out a chart. Artie walked over to the pair and watched as Edward unrolled the chart and the young Hylian's eyes widened.
"That... that is where we were going to go."Artie said. He pulled out a chart from his own pouch and unrolled it. Showing they were similar.

The gypsy girl felt a sense of pride at Eldrin’s comment and couldn’t help but beam from it. Not to mention, he was cracking her up and the smile was, at this point, glued to her face and beginning to ache. “You could say she owes me a few things” Kadina burned red in the face once more and laughed loudly and nervously. “Ha ha ohhhhh, yeah right. Ha.. I don’t owe anybody anything. Never have, never will,” She ended confidently as to recover from the embarrassment. Kadina was close to Artie and Eldrin, but her stories of Edward were a whole new side of things she never would have easily opened up about, if ever at all were he not presently in the room. She decided to let his comment torture her two friends with curiosity and mystery, as the subject quickly changed. A map. Kadina grew giddy just from hearing Edward’s rough hands unrolling the old and fragile edges of the parchment. And Artie had one that matched! “How come I don’t know about this place, huh?” Kadina wanted to know more. She took a swig of beer that she had managed to pour into a small tin, then tossed it aside as she leaned over Edward's shoulder. She was so intrigued by the map that she was unaware of her bosom nearly brushing his cheek. What a slut.

Eldrin couldn't help but watch Kadina with suspicion for a minute there, and sure enough, her reaction to Kidd's comment was a red flag. Eldrin wasn't drunk enough to not notice that there was something up between the two of them. However, he was plenty drunk enough to utterly forget the topic altogether when maps started coming out.
Thinking he didn't want to look as lame as Kadina clearly did right now, empty-handed, Eldrin whipped out his own map. It was completely unrelated, not even being a map to treasure, but an intricate chart of the Goron's various networks of tunnel systems. But still, at least he had a map. All Kadina had was a nice rack... which on, second thought, definitely put her at an advantage. Regardless, Eldrin sidled unsteadily in from the side, breaching the map circle unobtrusively. If no one asked to see it, he figured he could get away with his useless map. What he hadn't accounted for was the balloon still tied to his fang, bobbing over his head ridiculously.
"So... Sheri Telma?" he asked, talking as little as possible, as if he could pass as sober if they didn't hear him slur.

"Well said, Eldrin!"Edward played along with Eldrin as his left hand pulled back his hood to reveal a rather devilishly handsome face with locks of chocolate brown hair pulled back into a ponytail, thick stubble covered his face and golden eyes scanned the map for a moment before looking up at Artie.
"You say that you were planning an expedition here?" Edward questioned before looking over at Kadina and smiling slyly.
"Not many know this exists. I had to beat it out of a few Knights before they sang like canaries. I really should be reporting this in to Torak. But, as you well remember... I'm more of a 'Let's explore before I tell my commanding officer.'" The pirate half winked before grabbing a mug sitting near Kadina and filling it with the amber liquid that poured from a barrel nearby.
Artie sat cross legged as he looked over the map. Knights? Did he beat it out of royal guards? Torak? So he was a member of the Assassins of Hyrule... how come he had never met nor heard of him? Then again the whole organization was so shrouded in mystery there were probably tons of members he had never met.
The young hero pointed to a peak of a mountain and looked up at Edward. "So this IS on Snowhead... right?"
Amber liquid dripped from the corners of Edward's mouth as he chugged, finishing his drink he set the mug down and nodded. "Aye. The snowiest peak of Snowhead holds this quite jealously."

The gypsy furrowed her brow as she examined the map quite intensely. She tried to memorize it, but figured if she ever needed the map in the future, she'd just steal it from him.
"Sheri Telma?" "Well said, Eldrin! You say that you were planning an expedition here?"
Kadina looked at Edward and quickly made the connection as to why he was smiling so slyly. She rolled her eyes and failed to conceal a smile as she plopped down onto a seat at the table and crossed her arms over her chest. "Aye. That's the plan" She said with her eyes narrowed on Edward and the corners of her mouth turned up in a one sided smirk as she sat back in her chair and crossed her legs, one of her anklets chiming as she did so. She was just waiting to catch him in another one of his gazes.
That's when Edward made some sort of a comment about Torak. How did... when did... Was Edward part of the Assassins of Hyrule? She was about to raise the question when he winked at her. It's true... winking was a weakness of hers. She couldn't explain what it was, but a charming smile accompanied by an attractive man and a little eye flirt just seemed to get her everytime. Dammit, dammit, dammit. She pushed her beer far away from her realizing this was all a terrible combination of things. She not only pushed the cup away from her, but kept pushing until she had knocked it off the table and then stared at it like she was seeing an omen in its spilled contents on the floor.
"So this IS on Snowhead... right?" "Aye."
She snapped out of her drunken/wink-induced coma and jumped to her feet. "Snowhead?! Snow??? Cold freezing particles of little white water webs that fall from the sky?"
Another fun fact: Kadina hated snow and cold weather. Hated it, hated it, hated it.

"Aye. The very same, beautiful." Edward replied before rolling the map back up and shoving in in a pouch he had on his belt.
The pirate assassin reclined and placed his hands behind his head and stared down at the rag tag group of friends.
"Since it seems we're all going to the same place... how about we all team up?" he suggested, reaching for his mug again and filling it up with the amber liquid.
Artie looked at Edward and blinked before looking over at the other two. Kadina seemed to be freaking out about something and Eldrin looked to be drifting in and out of reality. He looked back at the pirate assassin as he chugged more of the amber liquid. The young hero sighed and nodded.
"I'm only agreeing to this because Kadina can vouch for you." Artie said, crossing his arms and looking the assassin straight in the eyes.
Edward grinned and drained the rest of the beer before placing his mug down, he opened his mouth to say something when the sound of armored boots on sand reached their ears.
Artie's head turned to the window and he instinctivly reached for his sword and shield as a few shadows roamed past the window. They seemed to be heavily armored.
Edward had already stood up, both sabers were in his hands as hushed whispering was heard from outside.
"Damn... how'd they find me so quickly..."
