"W- how do you know that?" Shay raised her brow, looking down at the paper then back at the figure.

Calix had gotten a look at the paper and thought. "Yeah I've seen some dark looking elves, one or two might of had that symbol on them. Though can I ask why?"

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.

"Could I borrow your hand, Calix?" Eya said surreptitiously.

Calix looked over at them and nodded. "How would you like to borrow my hand?"

Eya took his hand and flicked a hand across the back of it, drawing blood. She let a few drops of blood fall into her drink, the drops swirling in a mesmerizing motion. She released his hand and delicately sipped the drink.

"W- how do you know that?" Shay raised her brow, looking down at the paper then back at the figure.

"I'm the God of Duality. I can sense when people make choices, easy to locate them because of it." The person shrugged, face staying blank. "Even easier when they're about to make a choice that'll kill them."

Calix nodded with a smiled then washed off his hands after. "Hope you enjoy." He laughed.

Eya gave him a cursory nod and flicked her tail again in annoyance. Calix was who she was here to kill. The job would be finished soon enough, but with him acting all charming, she wanted her knife hilt-deep in his stomach right about now.

The god of Duality walked over to Eya and placed a hand on her shoulder, shaking their head gently. "I wouldn't do that dear."

(oh no… She wants him dead.)
Calix sat down onto a counter and looked down at a water he poured himself. He was quiet as he sipped it. Just waiting for people to order and stuff.

Shay went back to her table, where Marble had been showing D'var one of her knives. "You okay?" D'var asked her, and she nodded. "Yeah. That person over there? They just helped us get closer to who we're looking for." She rolled up the paper and tucked it into a pouch under her cloak, then pulled out a map. Marble glanced towards the bar before giving her friend a questioning look. "They said they're the 'God of Duality', and they used their godly powers or whatever to find the elves." Shay explained nonchalantly. Marble clicked her tongue at Shay, who shrugged. "Hey, dragons are godly in some parts of the world, and we've met the Alphas before. Why should I be formal about a non-draconian god hanging out in a tavern of all places?"

"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?"

Ava let out a small sigh of relief. "I see then." Well she wasn't wanted. That was a good sign. Feeling suddenly lethargic, she thought, I'm tired of running, hiding, must this be my life now? Asking questions, always wondering if one's after me?

Dee walked back to the two other gods and sighed. "Is that all you needed me for? Because if not, I'm going to go hang out with Time." They asked, to which Blair frowned. "Come on! Stay for a drink?"

Connor sipped his drink. “Weird question…Are any of you demons? Or do any of you happen to have something of a know-how about demons.”

Marble looked up, her pointed ears twitching, but Shay snapped her fingers to get her attention back to the map spread on the table. "Our business is with elves, not demons." She continued working out their plan for catching the group they were after.

Ghost raised an eyebrow at that question. "It honestly depends. What type of demons are we talking?" He projected into Connor's head.

Jerch snapped his head up at the mention of knowing demons. "Who wishes to know?" He narrowed his eyes are Conner and tilted his head

The god of Duality walked over to Eya and placed a hand on her shoulder, shaking their head gently. "I wouldn't do that dear."

Eya growled a little and brushed their hand off. "Touch me again and you die," she said without much enthusiasm; however, that didn't mean she wouldn't follow through with relish.

"No fighting please, it's against the rules." Calix said blandly then poured himself a cup of vodka and forgot all about his water not even caring about the water anymore.

"Oh, there won't be a fight," Eya said, her eyes narrowing and emantating a soft glow. She turned away from the God of Duality and picked up a book that sat on the bar. It most definitely hadn't been there before.

"Good, because breaking up fights is boring." Calix sighed then drank his drink. Currently his wings did not appear to be on him, so sitting on the counter was no problem.

"Not where I come from," Eya muttered. She sipped her drink again, the metallic tang making her fangs slide out slightly.

"Alright, breaking up fights is boring for me… I prefer not to." Calix said then hopped off of the counter and went to the backroom to grab stuff and restock a bit.

"You may try to kill me. But it will not come of anything, it will only affect your choice web." Duality shook their head softly and walked up to the bar. "Coffee flavoured vodka please."

Calix came out of the back room then nodded at the order. He Put the stuff down on the floor then got a cup and put the drink in it before handing the cup to Duality. "There you go."
