“No thanks, I can’t take alcohol except for rum,” Cefia replied while gesturing toward a waitress and ordered a drink she actually preferred. The woman laughed at her choice, but she rushed to the kitchen nonetheless. It wasn’t her fault that she was quite limited to certain drinks, but she also knew how to be grateful for anything at all. Dying from dehydration would make you respect any drink more, but she was getting real angry as another beer hit her square on.
“My name is Cefia Siluo, I don’t think anyone would know my parents even though they had become a little bit more successful after I left,” she replied to Nissa. Her milk had finally arrived and she began taking sips and quickly putting the glass down as another jug hit her head,

Nissa wasn’t familiar with what exactly rum was but figured it was indeed something a tad more powerful in alcohol then what wine was. Seemed the girl was a native to Etruria however which made things even more interesting because she resembled no one else around the area. The heavy armor, love for the sea, it didn’t seem too common for anyone brought up in the area… then again she was no person to comment any about the success of her family. Single-handedly she had left a stain on their line…
“Nissa Avurae…” Speaking the family name softly in the tavern, as if wanting no one from the outside to hear. That last name had been heard often, amongst those of the common church going type at least.

Janus similarly nodded at the pirate. "Just call me Janus, it's nice to meet you Cefia. You seem to have a bit of an...interesting job choice. What brought you all the way back here, it's a bit far from the open ocean and all. And you don't seem like a very religious person, if you don't mind me saying so."

It was difficult to answer the question to say the least and it made her a little frustrated. “Well, I’m horrible at directions when it comes to the land, so I ended up back here.” “I thought it to be nice to visit my parents, but we had a little argument, so I’m pretty much left with nothing to help me return back to the sea.” Cefia replied sighing at the very end. This was the best answer for her to give.

“Oh I’m sorry…” Nissa frowned at the notion quietly relating a little too well with the sentiment. Reaching for the goblet she took another dainty little sip before glancing towards the door. “We need to find rest in an inn tonight, or … I do know of family I have residing in Etruria, but I warn you the rest of my family are not like me. They… are all clerics.”
An almost nervous smile crossed her lips, “Not hard to tell the black sheep of the family… That is only if you want to avoid inn rates however.”

As the two had made their way thru the town Hiro's eyes darted from build to building making sure there were nobody around that will stop them. He had looked into a tavern and saw one of the most hot girls he's seen in ages. Comeing to a quick stop he looked at Zeiss. "Ummm.. Yea I have to do somebo-something real fast. Leave the town and wait for me on the outside." Handing Zeiss his things he took off the hat and pulled down his mask and tried to hide it under his cloak and put his hat in the bag. This whole time his back was turned to Zeiss.
He had entered the tavern and walked up to Nissa took the nearest seat to her, he had ignored the fact she was with a dude and a... a girl? At least it kinda looked like one. "Well hello pretty lady, what is a delicate flower as yourself doing here?" He had said to Nissa.

Janus reacted to Hiro's presence immediately. He was no stranger to the actions of thieves and brigands, but an open brawl seemed unlikely. At the very least he wasn't going to start anything obvious in public. But at the very least he was probably a womanizer and a misogynist.
The one bad thing about a bow, it's kind of hard to draw inconspicuously. So Janus merely sat there, observing what was going to transpire. His gaze drifted to Cefia, it said clearly.
Stay alert.

Cefia stared at the strange situation with the guys and Nissa. Her hand began to shake nerviously as she took a sip from her milk. Now that she had lost concentration, an incoming beer hit her head hard and the milk spilled all over.
"What a shame, its bad to waste anything." she muttered in a childish tone. All her pirate like talking had seem to gone away after a few minutes of talking to these people.

Her eyes shifted upwards to stare at the figure that made his way over the table. At first she paid no attention really, attempting to avoid any chance this might have been some drunk trying to make his way across the room. The man’s attention however seemed to stop directly on her… which left the red haired, sheltered shaman completely unsure of what to do exactly. Clearly his words were of a flattering nature.
“I… am simply enjoying a drink amongst friends.” Nissa smiling somewhat, a hand moving over the tome warily that sat in her lap out of pure habit alone. He appeared of a more rugged nature which made him look a little more natural in the setting then Nissa happened to. Blending in was not one of her strong suits it seemed. Who was this man?

Zeiss looked in the direction Hiro had left. 'Well, that sure was an unpleasant outing.' He said himself. 'You have my thank, ridiculously dressed stranger. Farewell.' At that note Zeiss teleported.

"But in a dump like this? You're like a Hydrangea in a field of weeds in here." He then started to look into her deep purple eyes and tried to give the most charming smile he could. "Know what, don't worry about paying for your drinks mam I'll deal with that." When he had said that he meant only her drinks, her friends were out of luck. Turning to the tender he said "Hey buddy start a tab for me and put this lady's drinks on it." The tender gave him a look like he was stupid. "I give nobody a tab here." Rolling his eyes Hiro replied "I'm the legendry thief who broke out of Kraft's castle more times then you can count. If I say you are to let this lady drink all she want and I'll pay for it later then it shall happen." "This isn't a buy now pay later place bucko."
Hiro sighed, got up and gave him enough gold to pay for around five cheap drinks and sat back down. "Now where was I?"

Nissa sat there rather dumbfounded for a moment by the man’s showering of compliments in her direction. To be entirely the honest the girl had absolutely no idea how to handle such a show of affection, the trouble spending ones life with books. Her eyes shifted to first Janus then to Cefia, did they know what to do? For some reason her face flushed a little red growing increasingly overwhelmed by the actions of the male.
Then she paused. He was paying for her drinks, wait wasn’t Janus buying her drinks anyways? This could get fairly complicated very quickly as to who was handling the bills. Politely, though nervously she smiled before hearing a name she wasn’t familiar with. Kraft? “Who is this Kraft?”
This man was a legendary thief who had escaped from this man’s castle? What company she managed to draw closer to her however this all might serve very well if information could be gathered from this man, Hiro. A castle, only nobility tended to keep in such places, but having lived in Etruria had her studies kept her really so naïve to what was going on?

"Ok, there was this chick that fought dragons and started this country. She died like a billion years ago and some say a while back she was alive again. Kraft used that rumor and called himself a prophet or something like that. Using that to his advantage he took power. I targeted him since he belives in a crazy thing anyways and was captured in the process." Hiro tried to play it off as smoothly as he could, trying to make it seem like he was more bad ass then he really was being able to escape him.

Cefia wanted to stay out of the coversation even more now. Her face was completely covered in milk as well as most of her clothes. Putting her hands up to signal for a waitress, her mouth dropped open to realize who the waitress she ordered was. For a few seconds the woman didn't recognize her, but then smack, she gave out an excited shriek. "Cefia! Is that you, for real!?!" "I mean, sure you dreamed of being a pirate, but...but, wow you sure have grown." "I remember when we were little girls, messing with the adults, your family has grown quite wealthy over the years you were gone." "Did you visit them?" "How was the sea?" "Oh I know you're wondering why I'm wearing this, well your parents didn't have much need of me anymore." "Don't worry I'm fine." Cefia listened until her blabbering friend stop talking and wanted her to answer the questions apparently. She was used to always listening since they were friends, most people can't stand her mouth. "Yes its me, I'm glad to see you well Lizz, yes I visited them, I realize they have more money they used to, and the sea was amazing." she replied in a soft tone before quickly quieting down. "Well that is good to hear. We should totally do some chat by ourselves, oh and bring your other friend there." Before waiting for her to reply, she pulled Cefia out of her seat and into another part of the tavern, while gesturing for Nissa to follow. (OOC: Makeover time! )

Janus went from merely alert to nearly jumping out of his skin. This Kraft fellow, he took power thanks to the chaos from the rumor of St. Elimine returning? That would mean that he might have some useful information...information that Janus wanted.
"So tell me." Said Janus, interrupting the conversation for his own reasons, and to keep the urchin away from Nissa. "Where is this castle that you escaped from? I've never heard of any noble named Kraft, and it might be unkind to be found telling tall tales to a lady." He said with a grin. He'd figured the thieves game and set a trap for him. If he was lying, he'd have to make up a location, or lie about who controlled it, and then look like a foolish boaster in front of the lady he was trying to impress. And if he told the truth...well Janus could use that information, but he wouldn't let him get near Nissa anyway.
