It was all a bit much for her, but that bit about a third Metallic Art... now that was a secret people would pay for. And pay dearly. She looked up at the man, inspecting him further. He looked like the type to sell too easy and too quick. Someone she’d eventually have to get rid of, if she couldn’t control him. But, for now, perhaps it was better if they stuck together. ”Do you know what it says to me when someone steals my drink in a run-down rust hole like this one?” She whispered. “It says that he’s desperate. That he turned up here because he needs coin more than a Coinshot who’s out of bullets.” Alleine tugged on that sense of desperation just a bit, and any kind of curiosity he might be feeling towards her. She didn’t care if he noticed it. ”Do you know how much someone would pay to find out about this?” Alleine said. “I doubt either of us do. But I do know people who could find out. And I think it might be enough for you to afford your own drinks for a very long time.” Drae grunted in response and unconsciously clenched his empty pockets he was broke, poor as an urchin, poorer, and he had just signed up for a religious holiday. "So your a rioter, and you've figured me out like a five year old's maths problem." He looked up into her emerald greens eyes "And do you have a name Miss Rioter?" he asked before leaning back and taking a long swig of his beer. "Just because people will pay for it doesn't mean that you'll profit in the long run. I am a perfect example of someone who messed up real bad by making that assumption." he said dramatically gesturing at himself and displaying his coinless pockets. "But if you know a few people, maybe the risks would be fewer than normal; and the Survivor knows that I'll be wanting a drink or two in the long run." Drae tugged on his braided beard and twisted the leather band around his arm as he weighed various pros and cons in his mind. He started nodding slowly. "The market we'll be looking at wasn't really something I intended to return to, too many contacts, too many enemies." His voice turned into a low, raspy whisper "But if it means spending more time with you...then I think I just made a very bad decision. And would you please stop tugging at my emotions." "There is that other commitment with Eryn I'm tagging along on, you may have to join me if were going to band together, Miss Rioter." he said, "but remember that there is a reason I'm desperate enough to steal a poor lass' gin, bad luck has a bad habit of nipping at my heals, particularly in the Elendel." Then he laughed, looking up as nostalgia filled his eyes "Rusting Elendel" he muttered as he chugged down the rest of his drink then he hijacked some whisky from the barman's cabinet to refill his glass."Would you like some?" he asked, holding out the bottle to Miss Rioter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Awakened Salad Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Mirette remained standing just inside the tavern, unable to move any further. She was too far away to pick out individual conversations, only hearing fragmented words. Common sense told her to turn around, leave and never return. But Raven wouldn’t accept that, and besides, she had nowhere else to go. She glanced at the Inquisitor again. Those metal eyes were more piercing than they should’ve been. But... if it truly was an Inquisitor, it hadn’t harmed anyone yet. Steeling herself, she walked over and took a seat at the bar, beginning to eavesdrop as she waited for the barkeep. @Ookla the Stick Edited December 31, 2020 by The Awakened Salad 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a faint sigh she walked over and tore the second spike out of the man’s shoulder. ”In this town,” she asked, “there is Temple to Sovereign, ja? Maybe you,” she jabbed a finger at the man by the counter, the one who worshiped the Sovereign, “can show me?” Hopefully she could get the full spike somewhere it could be stored before the power was lost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marie followed the newcomer with her gaze as she walked in, burning bronze slightly to take in the room's Investiture. She tried to imagine beating the metals out of some of these civilians, testing the limits of her orders. Any intent to actually do something, and her mind slipped to other things. Simply thinking about killing or shedding blood, however, seemed to be okay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AonEne Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Well, she hasn't forced me to stay close to her yet, Marie thought. Though if she went outside and flew off she'd probably catch Harmony's attention... She flared pewter for a moment just for the burn of it, then started walking outside anyway. Maybe she'd be able to get away with something if Adilie wasn't directly watching her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She would need to find another of the Sovereign’s people there, but they had ways of finding one another. Looking up, for a moment she thought she saw a flicker of motion, a puff of mist, gone too quickly to be certain.

He natrowed his eyes suspiciously at the window to let the phantom shadow know that he'd been sighted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
