"Nope not particularly. Just the sad decisions my boyfriend has made before. And stupid fights I have gotten into." Calix replied and drank more of his drink.

Eris walked in, furious. The strange, eccentric, and anemically pale man who resembled Tom Hiddleston's Loki with a hint of snake-specifically, he had a snake's tail in place of legs-sat down, the tail morphing into legs. "Give me a drink or I swear somebody's gonna get fucking murdered up in here."

"Hey, you in the back." The barkeeper said turning the attention to the hooded women. "Drink this. It's dosed with some liquid emotions that will get you brave enough to tell your story. You've been in here all day." She handed her a glass of murky blue liquid.

Tolkalee looked at the person who had just come in. "I would really appreciate if you didn't kill anyone," he called to him. "That being said, if you need to punch something I'm will to get hit a few times."

Eris stood up, fell down when his snake tail reappeared, and then slithered upright over to the man who offered to be punched. "Do you mind?" he asked. "I'll try not to break all of your ribs."

"Just don't be to disappointed when I don't react," Tolkalee spread his arms in an invitation.

"Ok, enough with the showing off. You want something to drink Eris?"

The female seemingly was brought out of her trance at the sudden appearance of the newest male. By his appearance and the air he carried, he was agitated. Then as if to confirm this, the tone of his voice was enough to let anyone know. The rumble once again returned somewhere deep in her chest.
Threatened, she felt threatened. The cloaked female swallowed the lump growing in her throat. No, she needed to control her emotions. She didn't want to end up destroying this place by complete accident. The female shook her head, eyes moving to settle on the bar tender who set a glass in front of her.
Once again she felt instant distrust. Her eyes narrowed, pupils becoming thin slits in the vast violet. Her voice was low as she spoke, "And what of the possibility of it being poisoned? Suddenly offering me a drink is a bit suspicious…"
The woman seemed to be truly unsure, and perhaps even stubborn. She averted her gaze elsewhere, her voice sounding again.
"Though what is it you want to know…about me? Since you seem interested…"

Tolkalee took his eye off the man in front of him. He glanced at the woman again. She seemed to have a worried aura surrounding her. Not wanting to make it worse he didn't move to ask if she was okay. though he wanted to know if she was okay, or if there was anything he could do to help. Maybe just removing himself would help. He didn't know.

Lucas turned away from his documents, interested in what’s going to happen next. He looked at Tolkalee and Eris, then to hooded feminine who sat alone.
Worried, Distrust, Fear these words echoed in his mind when he turned to her. He decided it was best for him to not make it worse by walking up to her. He turned back to Tolkalee and Eris.

Adri glanced over to the cloaked woman, standing slowly and moving over to sit across from her. The others were interested in the newcomers, but something about the quietness of the cloaked woman reminded her of someone…

Lucas noticed Adri but paid no attention to her. He moved his mask a little more so that his face will be more covered than it already was. He glanced rested his arms on the counter and went back to sorting out his documents while keeping an eye on the cloaked feminine.

"Ok, enough with the showing off. You want something to drink Eris?"

"Admittedly yes. And I'm not showing off, I'm legitimately pissed off." he said, sitting back down grudgingly.

Once again a silence seemed to descend. She was fine with that. Her eyes shifted back and forth, the pupils remaining thin slits. The low rumble continued to emit from her, a sound which didn't seem to fit her at all. Eyes, there were eyes all around, and she felt several of those pairs upon her. Once again the female started to fidget slightly. She should've never stopped…but she was tired and wanted to rest on a somewhat more comfortable chair than a rock or the ground for once.
Her head lifted as she heard footsteps approach. The cloaked woman's body seemed to become even more tense, body shivering once and awhile. Uncertainty, fear, possible danger was all around. She needed to stay calm, to relax. They wouldn't hurt her anymore…she had put a good distance between them and her…it had been quite a few years now…but the past had a way of staying present in vengeful minds.
The female's eyes landed upon another woman who was the one to approach. Her gaze remained narrowed with slit pupils, showing the emotion that was hidden in the darkness of the hood. The woman's eyes seemed to pierce straight through the other as they sat down opposite of her. Her gaze watched, observed, constantly studying as if seeking information.
She was silent for several moments, then finally addressed the one who had sat at her table, "Is there something you need?"
Not just anyone or anything approached and sat down without wanting something…least she thought that way.

Calix sighed and pulled out his knife. Then he started cleaning the knife. It was a bit dirty at the moment.

Lucas noticed the knife that Calix got out and smiled behind his mask. Well, this might be interesting he thought to himself.

Unbeknownst to everyone, both S.K and Mrs had vanished a while ago, both of them flikering into view no. "What has happened since I have been gone, me and mister Mre were conversing about a mutual friend." S.K said, silky voice washing over the small crowd.

"Nothing I need. Just curious as to why a fellow traveler might be here, but unwilling to join their light conversation. I'm not trying to pry, merely fulfilling a curiosity." Adri tucked a strand of her hair behind one ear. (She's super not threatening, barely 15 years old)

Calix cleaned off his knife then put it away and looked at the others around the room. Cautious. He was always alert and in a way cautious.

"Remeber, magical weapons of any kind are not permitted." A voice, different from S.Ks but still coming from theur mouth said.

"Not really magical. Just a dagger. But a bit better." Calix replied looking down. "Not planning on using it anytime soon."

“Okay that’s quite enough of that,” The barkeep said pouring Eris a drink and everyone settled back in their seats. “If you would calm down and talk sense maybe you would be friends.”

“Now, this is a place for telling stories so please Eris and the woman in the back. Tell us your stories.” The barkeeper’s outfit changed again into a long yellow sundress. “I’m sure we wouldn’t want our drinks to be spiked with liquid happiness.”

Adri perked up. "That actually sounds amazing."

“Yeah, that would be pretty funny. Or it could be spiked with tranquilizer and it could get very not funny really fast.”
