"I mean, I guess, but, well, I just turned 18 a couple days ago, so, I haven't heard of a 'mint julep' before," Ava explained. Turning towards Blair, she said in a very calm voice, or at least as calm as she could muster, "In my experience, mur-" but she realized that Blair hadn't said 'murder,' he'd said 'stabbing'. Trying to cover up her mistake, she continued, "Well where I come from, stabbing isn't the best way to make friends, rather, being nice and polite is a better way."
Calix walked around taking and giving their orders. He was mostly quiet as he served them all. After he sat hopped over the counter to get to the other side.
"Murder is as good as any way to meet someone." Ghost projected, Blair laughing. "We had to fight each other, then we ended up becoming gods together so we kinda had to make friends."
“Man, I know some people who you would like,” Connor added as he waited for his drink. “I would invite them but I usually end up getting punched when I invite them with me to bars.”
Jerch chuckled at the conversation "oddest of interactions, a murderer and his victem." He shrugged carelessly "though I do like the outcome."
Shay stood and looked around the tavern for a second, then headed over to the bar. "Hey, I've got a question for you." She said to Calix.
"Gods? Um, forgive any and all sins please?" Ava managed, awkwardly bowing. A god. A real life god. She'd never seen one before, how embarrassing that she didn't know they were gods until after.
Blair laughed. "We don't deal in that department. Honestly, we're the ones that'll celebrate you having sins. It's what makes you mortal."
She let out the breath she didn't know she'd been holding. "Oh good. In which case, uh, what kind of gods are you then?"
"I'm a god of destruction and Ghost's the god of the paranormal, spirits and things." Blair gave a thumbs up.
"Oh? Interesting…" Ava mused.
"Oh and God of war." Blair added. "Forgot about that." Ghost flicked him on the head. "You just like to show off." He actually spoke, voice sounding raspy and kinda creepy.
Shay stood and looked around the tavern for a second, then headed over to the bar. "Hey, I've got a question for you." She said to Calix.
Calix turned and looked at her, "what's the question, I may be able to answer it" he asked.
"Do you ever get any odd people here? I mean, like, people who give you a bad vibe or make you want to keep your eye on them?" Shay leaned against the bar, her eyes narrowed a bit.
Ava glanced at Shay suspiciously. "You're looking for someone," she voiced aloud. No. Her family wouldn't send someone to look for her, would they? For all they know, it could be a waste of money. But then again, there wasn't a body, but it could've been burned…
Jerch swept his gaze to the front of the bar and narrowed his cat like eyes at the angel. He glanced away and fiddled with his wings until they were tucked behind him
Ghost leaned in closer to Blair and whispered some things, the only one's that could be heard is: "Should we call in Dee?" and "Yeah, they know how to handle things like this and three gods are better than two."
"Do you ever get any odd people here? I mean, like, people who give you a bad vibe or make you want to keep your eye on them?" Shay leaned against the bar, her eyes narrowed a bit.
"Yeah I have… Why you asking?" Calix asked then gave her a water.
Eya watched Calix in particular, his demeanor making her jittery. Her tail flicked in anticipation of a kill and her lips drew back from her teeth in an inhuman smile. She drifted towards the bar and motioned with a slim hand to him. "Vodka, please."
Calix looked and noticed them and nodded. Then he poured a Vodka before walking over to where they were at the bar and handed it to them.
The door opened, letting a doorway of shadows being seen and a tall, monochromatic figure stepped out of it, heading towards the two gods. They raised an eyebrow. "So, why did you call me?" They asked the two, Blair just trapped the figure in a hug. "Hi Dee!" Blair said while Ghost gave a small laugh. "We were worried about some people asking questions so, three gods are better than one."
Ava glanced at Shay suspiciously. "You're looking for someone," she voiced aloud. No. Her family wouldn't send someone to look for her, would they? For all they know, it could be a waste of money. But then again, there wasn't a body, but it could've been burned…
"I am." Shay nodded. "We were certain they'd come here, so we came to get the jump on them." She turned to Calix, her head tilting a little as she held out a piece of paper with a black rune on it. "Do you know of any dark-looking elves that come through this area? Maybe some that have this symbol on them?"
The figure frowned, shaking off Blair and walking over to the woman at the bar. "May I see that rune closer?" They asked, staring at the woman with unblinking eyes.
Shay turned to them, her eyes narrowed suspiciously. Regardless, she held the paper out to them. "Me and my partners over there," she nodded towards their table, "have been looking for a group that bears this rune. Long story short: They've been giving the hunter community extra trouble lately and our guild is fed up."
The person took the paper and closed their eyes, humming. "Ah, I see now." They muttered, handing back the paper. "From what I can tell, they should be camping in the western forest for the next week."
