Not much point in continuing to play cards without Wylie around. Zeiss also got up. 'Goodnight.' He said simply and went up stairs.

Crowley threw a big smile at Tobias.
"Well, it's just you and me, huh, pal?" Crowley didn't know if the man disliked him or not, but he did seem very, very, VERY disinterested. And a bit anxious. It was almost as if the guy hoped there would be an assassin in the tavern.
"Tell me, what's your story? I'm sure you've already heard about mine." He grinned again and emptied his mug, calling the bartender for another one.

Tobias stopped watching the crowd and fixed his eyes on Crowley. "I have never heard your story," he said, "and I don't really care either. As for myself, I don't want you to know." He stood up. "You should get to your room soon. Passing out down here would draw unwanted attention." Without another word he walked upstairs to his room.

Crowley was baffled. What a prick. Okay. Okay. He could deal with this, he was the forgiving type... But then again, maybe now the kid would think that Crowley was worth sh$t. Well, he was worth sh$t, but that didn't mean he had to be rude!
Crowley yelled: "Hey, you-" And stopped right there. This was a bad idea, they needed the guy. He just threw a menacing look at tobias, emptied another mug and went for bed himself.
He sighed. He was sober. What a waste.

(OoC: Sorry guys, got a bit caught up with assignments)
When Wylie awoke and descended the stairs, he noticed he was the first one up in the whole inn, and also that he didn't have any form of hangover, something unusual for him in this sort of place. Looking at the window, he realised the sun must have only just come up. I remember when I used to wake up this early every morning, he thought, before I became a drinker. He resolved to try and get up earlier from now on.
Walking past the deserted tables over to the bar, he dug out another coin from the massive bag Marquess Yeo had given him, and ordered some breakfast with extra bacon. He then found a table near a window and enjoyed just watching the town wake up as well.

(OoC: same over here.)
Crowley crawled dawn the stairs and lifted himself on a chair and let his head rest on the bar. He was still tired. But; he had been sober. It was a weird experience. Everything was so... clear. He could almost hear himself think that evening. He grinned and gestured at the bartender.
"Bacon. Lots of it." He too got a coin out of one of his bags. He had loot from Ostia and money from Marquess Yeo. He was quite rich, actually. He then took his plate and seated himself next to Wylie.

A little while later Zeiss too came down the stairs. 'No hang overs, huh? That must be a first for you in a long time.' Zeiss said with a smile when he saw Crowley, awake already. He said down next to them and ordered bacon as well. Not an excessive amount though, he wasn't rich like the other two.

Tobias woke last and stayed in his room for a few minutes stetching. He grabbed his sword and went down for breakfast. He didn't really expect there to be more danger in the morning than at night, but he never left his sword anywhere where he couldn't draw it at a moments notice. He wasn't very hungry, so he just ordered eggs and sat at a differnt table so that he wouldn't have to talk to them, but he would still listen in case they said anything important.

Zeiss looked at Tobias sitting away from them. He wasn't nearly this secluded before... Has our fight humbled him more then I thought. Or has he found that he imply can't stand Crowley. It's entirely possible. I've seen my share of silent people, and most of them were Saceans like him, however outright rudeness usually isn't their thing. Well if he doesn't want to talk then the obvious move is to make him talk. 'That new guy sure is an asshole, huh?' Zeiss said frankly.

Tobias didn't react. He knew it would be pointless to do anything, and Zeiss was probably just trying to piss him off. He sighed and continued eating his eggs. If they annoyed him enough he would just leave.

"I think he'll be happier when we can be legends again," Wylie commented. "No-one feels like talking on those mornings."
After a pause, Wylie asked, "So what's the plan for today? We must be right on the border of Etruria by now. If we get any closer, we should start to be wary. And when were we planning on splitting up so you and you (pointing to Zeiss and Tobias) could gather some intel for us?"

"Shure, he ish a real ashhole." Crowley grinned with his mouth filled with bacon. It was salted a little too much, but he didn't minde. Salt was good. Crowley eyed Tobias as he was eating his breakfast. He didn't like the guy. Hopefully Zeiss could keep him in check.
He finished his pint. And looked at the guys and breathed in some air. His breast swelled.
"Aaah. A wonderful day. Now. The plan. I'm thinking of sending you and you (he pointed to Zeiss and Tobias) first. We'll travel a few days behind you. You'll get intel, where this guy hangs out and blablabla. Then we'll meet again, three days after your arrival in a bar called 'the green dragon'. It's near the south gate. Easy to find." He took a few bites from his bacon again and when he swallowed the chewed bits he spoke again.
"Me and Wylie will keep low for a while. I think that's the best... Any suggestions?" Crowley asked while looking at his companions.

'No, I'm good.' Zeiss said dryly. He then stood up and gestured to Tobias to follow. Damn, I like quiet, but traveling with this guy is going to be too much.

Well, I guess it's time to go Tobias thought, sighing quietly. Well, at least it won't be boring. He followed Zeiss outside and got his horse ready. He mounted it and looked at Zeiss to see if he (Tobias) had done anything wrong.
((I guess we're going to have to make a new thread then.))

After Zeiss and Tobias had left the room, Wylie gave Crowley a genuine smile. He'd developed a close bond with the mercenary, and it was starting to feel like the old days again.
"I can't believe it," Wylie began. "We're going back to Etruria. If I was ever going to do another mission with you, I would have sworn it would NEVER be Etruria." He gave a chuckle, and shoved a bit of bacon into his own mouth. "Still, I couldn't choose a better partner to be doing it with," he said, and gave Crow one of his own prodigous back-slaps.
Wylie then looked around the inn, and then back at Crow. "So what are we doing for the next few days?"
