“Just say that you’d like to see people die more” Fornax corrected with a raised brow as his helm folded back into his armor. His mask remained on his face, looking like it’s something he doesn’t want to take off.

"But that's not what I wanted to say. I'll choose my own words, thanks," Xara crossed her arms, leaning against a tree.

“Right right…” the armor of Fornax folded back into the badge which was on his outermost vest. The crisp smell of the burnt corpse started to sip through the air which some may call unpleasant. There was something unnatural about Fornax movements, or maybe that’s just how he acts as his neck twitched rhythmically to one’s heartbeat.

Xara wrinkled her nose. "That's a definite downside," she muttered. "Are you having issues there, pal?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

The newcomer to the tavern looked quite young, maybe a little too young to even drink alcohol though it was no doubt that they were about the same age as Lucisan judging from their style of clothing and voice. When their drink and dish was served, they started sipping the chardonnay.
“So, what brings you here your royal highness?”

"Goddamnit."
Luc rolled his eyes and took another bite of his food. He really should've expected someone to recognize him, but he honestly didn't think it would be that soon. Unless the birdbrain snitched.

(Well since the Basilisk has been taken care of, maybe you can have Cat just wander around town or go back to the archery range?)
( @The_Warrior )

The figure took another sip before setting his glass down and…
Everything went gray around Lucisan and the figure.
“No one told me anything your royal highness, I just recognized you immediately when I saw the smallest glimpses of your eyes” the figure turned to face Lucisan.
“Don’t worry, no one will hear our conversations” the figure gave their black fedora a flick as their eyes were revealed.
The figure was someone Lucisan might be familiar with; the prince of Phastia, the Spirit kingdom that existed beside Candorin, Isaac.

Luc sighed and straightened up. At least Isaac wasn't a complete asshole. "Hello, prince Isaac." He raised an eyebrow. "What brings you to this hell kingdom?

Isaac sighed.
“Business as always, I hate it” he complained as he took a sip of his drink.
“Apparently the bitchy princess of Qiryu’s also around? Might be a good idea to finally kill her here and cover it up, just an idea” he shrugged as he said it like it was something normal to say.
“How about you? What brings you here?”

"I was studying in a cabin near the outskirts, then I got this weird badge thing so now I'm apparently a Zodiac Knight for this stupid kingdom." He groaned, nodding at Issac's statement about the princess. "I talked to her earlier, took me a lot of willpower not to kill her."

“What a story Luc, what a story” he set his glass down.
“Well? We can always raid Selas right? Both you and I know how strong our forces combined are” Isaac crossed his legs.
“Plus, the only ones I might leave alive are the constellation Knights and just kill the rest of the kingdom. I can put their souls to use for sure…” he paid his attention to the frozen bartender.

"Honestly, we probably could. It seems the government here can't keep their citizens in line. Apparently some of the knights are rebelling or something." Luc said, leaning back in his chair and showing off the cuts and bruises that were forming on his arms from it.

Draco looked around and started to walk towards a specific direction before stopping and looking up at the sky. Without a word, he turned back to Lata, grabbed her by her shoulders and jumped away from their spot. A second after they jumped, an explosion hit the ground, following it was a shadowy figure.
“Are you alright?” Draco asked, concerned of Lata’s wellbeing while he was also keeping an eye on the figure.

Lata was taken aback by the sudden movement, but looking back to where she was, Draco protected her from severe harm. "Fine. You?" she asked. Looking at the person before them she wondered if this was the person Cat had been complaining to Syzen about. She didn't notice anything in particular about the stranger, but it was hard to see their features.

“We’ve got company then, that’s nice. Unfortunately my three best warriors are on trip back to their homeland and aren’t so free at the moment, so having people who know about the kingdom on our side might be a great advantage” Isaac mentioned, sharpening his knife as he glanced at the bartender with cruel and sinister eyes.

Luc rubbed his eyes and sighed. "Don't kill the bartender Isaac." Luc took another sip of his drink, which he may have swapped out for water. Why did I get booze anyhow? I hate the taste.

Draco shook his head as he stood up as his eyes widened. The golden crown of the armored figure was the first thing that was revealed from the smoke, following by green scales which looked extremely menacing. When the smoke faded completely, the armored figure bowed to the two as the several jewelry on them clanked. They then straightened their posture.
“Naga Vessel…” a mumble was heard from the helm which represented a Naga’s, a mythical serpent. Their golden wings fluttered as if they had a mind of their own.
Draco backed up slowly.
“Be careful… he’s not gonna leave easily I think” Draco whispered, standing right in front of Lata while holding his arms out.

(Hah! Same for me actually! XD)

Isaac flipped the knife and put in back in his jacket. “Fine, I’ll do it later… just kidding” he giggled a bit.
“Well, what do you plan to do now? Go with the flow of the kingdom or just rebel all the way?”

"Probably gonna rebel. I mean, it'll be a good way to get back at this kingdom. Cause some chaos, probably kill someone, maybe a royal for the hell of it. Great message to send, you shunned my kingdom so now I'm killing you." Luc said bluntly.

Draco shook his head as he stood up as his eyes widened.

“Be careful… he’s not gonna leave easily I think” Draco whispered, standing right in front of Lata while holding his arms out.

Lata pushed one of Draco's arms down, not liking the idea of appearing as if she were a coward. Even if she wasn't the most prepared for battle, she wanted to appear as if she was. She glared at the armored figure before them, prepared to fight if necessary, Though she had pushed away some of the other knight's protection, she stepped backwards as well, sensing the aura in the air. It was one of malice, that at least was clear.

“Hey—“ Isaac gave Lucisan an evil eye “—don’t read my mind on what I wanted to do” he chuckled a bit.
“I wanna help you on that actually. I can use a royal’s soul sometimes…” a faint blue mist surrounded Isaac’s body.
“Not now boy, we aren’t fighting anyone” he smiled at the mist as it disappeared.

Draco was a bit surprised when Lata pushed away his arm, though he understood her. He was like her after all.
“Well… shall we?” Draco’s armor covered him as he unsheathed his curved white blade.

"My power is getting the truth, not reading minds." He joked, finishing up his food. Luc raised an eyebrow at the mist and gave a small wave, smirking. "But honestly, the people in this kingdom aren't that smart."

“Oh, stupid’s the right word” Isaac corrected with a small laugh.
“Even the Generals, have you seen them during the civil war two years ago? They can’t do shit on their own” he took a big gulp of his drink.
“I still question myself as to how they got their position”

"Hm, probably from being stupid enough to be able to be controlled, sleeping their way up, and wealth." Luc hummed, turning a black ring on his pinky around as he spoke.

“That’s… from the event six months ago?” Isaac asked as he glanced at the ring with both confusion and slight disgust.
