"I would!' Denzel quickly thought who to amend that as his face got red. "I mean, I know the way around the city."

Selk didn't mean to intrude on this little group's conversation, but he'd only come looking for a group to join himself. Perhaps these few would make good companions. They seemed to be getting along well enough at the moment. "Eh, I know I've just arrived, but would any of you mind if I tag along for the trip? My name is Selk Mar. I've come to the Inn looking for a caravan of comrades to travel with. If I know the layout of the city I might be able to succeed in my search." He would wait for a reply before taking any other actions.

Wyatt was pleasantly surprised by how friendly these people were. He smiled and nodded to Lilith. "Oh, I am Wyatt, Apprentice Blacksmith. It's nice to meet you Lilith, and you too Wein." He noticed her robes immediately, was she a cleric? He'd never met a real cleric of the faith, they were few and far between. He was more then willing to share a tour guide in Denzel when he saw the book she pulled out. Now he wasn't familiar with the arcane arts, but he knew what magic was. And that book was obviously magic.
"You know magic?!" He asked amazed. "That's so cool! I've never seen any before!" He remarked with a smile, it was exciting. "Wow...I've never met a real-live mage before, that's gotta be awesome to have that kind of power."
He realized he was rambling and stopped, looking aside at Denzel who seemed a little flustered. Wyatt just chucked. Did Denzel have a crush on her? Such a young boy, those years were always troublesome.
The appearance of Selk was yet another surprise. He looked very much like a soldier, at least in training. And it was just a small tour...
"Well, it's your show I guess." He said, gesturing to Denzel and Wein. "What do you guys say?"

Wein smiled. Everyone here seemed to be in good spirits. It was quite a change from that one group he was in. Everyone was on edge, and it all ended with a climactic battle and bodies strewn about. Even that boy ran away in the end. This was a welcome change.
Wein looked to Denzel. "Well, you're an official knight of Laus, or at least you look like one," commented Wein, partially on the boy's age, "so do you want to take the lead? I'll do it if you say no."

Lilith smiled at everyone's polite friendliness. "Oh my, is every man in Lycia so friendly?" she commented. She turned to the blacksmith's apprentice, Wyatt. "Well I am a stranger to people who fight with axes and swords. All I've seen are girly-men in dresses waving their hands around. Though you can't blame them! Dresses are comfortable! But yes, I do love magic. You'd be amazed at the number of people who don't believe me when I say I use the Elder Magics. I wonder why?"

Wyatt blinked for a moment. "Elder Magics? What is that? I don't really understand..." He said, rubbing his head confused. He'd never dealt with magic before at all, it was all very new to him. And it was all very interesting to him as well.
"Ah, I'm not really a fighter. I mean I guess I can, but it's more for chopping wood then it is for fighting. Anybody can destroy, it takes a stable hand and years of trainning to create though." He said with a smile.

Lilith smiled and nodded. "That is very true. My parents told my brothers and I the same thing." she liked this guy. He was nice and pretty talkative, like her. "Elder Magic is known more commonly as dark magic," she added. She mumbled a few incoherent words and a dark ball of energy formed around her palm. "See! Isn't it cool!" She waved her hand and the energy dissipated. "Whatcha think?" she asked, smiling brightly.

When she called it dark magic he arched an eyebrow. Wasn't that what evil wizards used to destroy villages and summon demons and corrupt the souls of men?
Well, hearing about it was one thing, but seeing it was quite another, especially when you are in mid thought.
"But isn't dark magic like...evil and stuff? Creepy guys in dark robes and destroying stuff and all that from the stories? I mean it's-Wha!"
He jumped back a bit at her display of magic and stared at it dumb founded, and reached a hand out as if to touch the ball of darkness, which vanished into the air as suddenly as it came.
Wyatt looked as if he was concentrating hard on comprehending what he saw, his face screwed in concentration. But then he relaxed a bit and straightened himself up to his full height, easily over all present except possibly Wein.
"Well, I guess I just won't understand it...but you don't seem like one of those creepy evil types so I guess this..'Elder Magic' you called it can't be all bad, right? I mean..." He tapped the hatchet on his back. "An axe is the same as a spear or a bow, it doesn't do anything on it's own. I guess magic could be the same...maybe? But wouldn't that mean healing could be evil and...argh." He finished holding his head with one hand.
"Nevermind." He said holding out his hand. "I don't think I'll ever be a magic person, but it's not an evil magic, I got that."

(OoC: Wein's only 5' 11", so Wyatt is taller. Richter and Saturos are the tall ones.)
Wein clapped Wyatt on the back, grinning slightly. "Don't hurt yourself, kid," he said. "In all my wanderings, I've actually seen quite a lot of Shamanic magic users who don't really fit the bill of evil and dark cloaks." He then looked at Lilith. "I haven't, however, seen one quite as bright and sunny as Lilith before." Wein held out his arms. "So are we going to sit around here all day or what?"

Yeah, I mean, what do you guys wanna see first.' Denzel said his voice returning to normal as he focused his attention on Wein. He was quickly running through a map of the town in his head, he didn't want to make her, them! wait or lead them to the wrong place.

"Like swords and axes, magic is not itself evil, can can be abused by evil people," Lilith said philosophically. "We should go see the castle! I heard its wonderful! I've only seen palaces, which are actually different from castles. They have a different style... Less rugged, I think. But I'm great with anywhere you'd like to take us!" She smiled brightly.

Selk just watched quietly as Lilith displayed her, in his opinion, interesting magical talents. Selk hadn't seen magic before, and this was definitely interesting. He sort of understood what Lilith said about magic itself not being evil. Heck, if his lance was ever a tool of nothing but destruction then he'd throw it away and forget it existed. He picked up his lance to protect, not to destroy. He chuckled at that and said, "The castle sounds like a good start to me. See the center of the town and work our way out, eh?"

"Well okay, there's only people on guard duty in the castle right now, so we should be able to get around." Denzel was about to walk out, to lead them back but then remembered something. "Oh, but I'm forgetting my mission; Wyatt are you going to check into a room now or when we get back?"

Wyatt looked up, on one hand he was really excited about the future prospects...but that could always wait! He'd met some really cool and friendly people here, and one of them could use magic!
"No, it's all right. Let's go take a closer look at the castle, it might be interesting." He said, smiling at the small group. "After all, I'm new here too."

"I've never actually been into Laus castle," said Wein. "I assume it's quite extravagant in there? You know, the usual finery: carpets, marble pillars, golden tassels, and what not?"
It was an interesting little group they had gathered. He had woken up this morning thinking it was going to be another regular day. It was, at least until the evening. He had now met up with a dark mage, a young knight of Laus, a tall axeman, and another young man looking for comrades. It should make for an interesting evening. He yawned. He could use a beer right about now.
