The Bloody Blade Inn And Tavern

"Maybe we can continue this late, in a more....comfortable, and private setting."

Such a statement made her roll her eyes. This Alec character was certainly in over his head. That, or his personality was just strange. Both points of view applied in Alex's eyes.

She participated in the small talk whenever she felt it necessary. For the most part, she sat there silently, twirling a utensil around in her beverage. Bright, green eyes stared blankly at the swirling liquid in the cup. She made images in her mind while watching the little hurricane, her lips making a smirk afterward.

"I suggest we descend early. Set up shop, as it were. We'll have to go two at a time, and at irregular intervals so as not to rouse suspicion."

Alex looked up from her drink, resting her face in a palm while her elbow sat on the table.

"Aye." she said simply, waiting for the right time to descend.

He engaged in the small talk, catching up with his old friend. He had ordered something to drink as they conversed. Although he looked like he was carelessly enjoying himself, he was also scoping out the tavern, making note of the possible exits. He hated to be unprepared, and experience taught him he should be ready for anything.

"I suggest we descend early. Set up shop, as it were. We'll have to go two at a time, and at irregular intervals so as not to rouse suspicion."

"Aye."

He stood up and made a gentleman like gesture, "After you my dear."

A great laugh rumbled from Endry's belly. "I'd not think that was smart. Alex has... as soft spot. Though I should probably do not to call it that."

Endry rose as Alec made his gesture. "Perhaps I should take the girl down with me... might ask fewer questions."

She grunted and merely rolled her eyes around, her chair pushing back as she stood. The gesture was gentlemanly, but she wasn't used to such a thing. She also wasn't used to the term my dear anymore, as that was a label loved ones addressed each other by. Surely, this man did not think of her that way?

"I will follow with you, then."

They weren't to raise suspicions, after all. Her chair was pushed in before she went to do anything else.

"So that leaves me with you, archmage." He sat back down and waited.
