“Ha, that’s true. So what’s your story? You seem to have one….” Zephen questioned.
“Ha, that’s true. So what’s your story? You seem to have one….” Zephen questioned.
"Me or her?" he asked.
“Either”
Nimuae listened quietly. It pained her to hear such things coming from ones so young. Recalling her own troubled youth, she leaned towards the bartender and set a small stack of shining coins in front of him. "Her drinks are on me."
he turned around. "alright." he nodded. "what would you like?"
Zephen was stunned. Sometimes, people’s kindness surprised her. “Th-thank you. Do I know you?” She asked, grateful.
"I doubt it, little one, but-" She threw back her hood to reveal her long pointed ears and shock of silvery black hair "when you're one of the last of the High Mountain Elves sometimes you can relate to being oppressed and forced into a life you never wanted."
(Wow, alright, I'm back. Let's do this!)
Yama: Just another soda for me, thank you.
Nellie smiled. "You don't know her, but you should."
"Coming right up." he turned around and grabbed a soda and handed it to her.
“A mountain elf-“ Zephen’s breath caught, “My mother was a wind nymph. She died giving birth to me. My father, well he didn’t want me.”

“I didn’t know Mountain elves were still alive!” Zephen was amazed.
She still couldn’t get over it. She leaned back, taking it in
Calix turned around and got a water for himself.
Yama: Forgive me for asking, but aside from being the last of your kind, what else is special about you?
Nim glanced at Yama "I heard that there was a dragon spawn wandering these parts but i couldn't believe it. No one has seen a dragon since I was a girl."
Turning back to Zephen "There are a few of us here and there. Seems our King as a healthy hatred for things he cannot control."
(oh jeez I feel asleep, what'd I miss)
Yama: Where I come from, dragons are everywhere. There are just taboos that forbid any interspecies relationships. According to my mother, "They're all just cowards!"
“You speak the truth,” Zephen said, nodding. “Seems this tavern is a hot spot for rare creatures, tonight,” she laughed.
(I did too)
(Zephen was referring to what ninjas said, not yama, sorry!)

This time Nim grinned at she looked at Yama, her fangs flashing. "My people are excellent marksmen and forgers of the metal thats high in the mountains. Practically indestructible once its forged." SHe placed a dirk on the table before her for the dragon to admire.
