As soon as Taurin had arrived at the village again and stepped in the tavern, his boss told him to get to work. Circe waited patiently outside for his return, basking in the sun.
Taurin strapped on his apron.
“I just got back!” he protested lightly, “Putting me back to work already, are you?”
“No one can stop a bar fight quite like you.”
Taurin laughed and started working.

Once they finished setting up camp Artemis said “I’m going to got to the tavern don’t cause any trouble while I’m gone” he walked over and opened the tavern door

Vicky watched Artemis go for a moment before turning and hopping over to Sol. "I go play in meadow outside village," she explained, then she turned and hopped towards the trees. At the tree line she stopped and looked up at the birds that were flying overhead. She spread her wings out, and flapped them just like the birds, but didn't make it off the ground. She let her wings droop on the ground, looking somewhat chest fallen, then she shook her head and bounced happily into the woods.

Taurin saw Artemis walk in. He tucked his empty tray up to his chest and nodded in greeting.
"What can I do for you?" he asked.

Xena picked up Adrianne and started walking towards the local Tavern "noe remember, stay close to me, dont go anywhere."

“I’ll just take water” Artemis responded in a polite tone as he sat down at a bar stool
Sol watched the dragon at play

Riverpaw stretched out her leg and stood up, then watched Xena for a moment before slowly following her and Adrianne. She sniffed the air and wondered where they were going.

Adrianne nodded and clutched her mother's shirt tightly. Soon after they appeared at the tavern. Xena took a deep breath and walked inside the noisy room. She took a seat near the door and put Adrianne on the table as she waited for a server to be free.

Artemis saw the creature on the table but he decided to stay back for now

Taurin grabbed a glass of water for Artemis and set it down on the table, then swung around to Xena and Adrianne. He eyed Adrianne curiously.
"What can I do?" he asked.

He just took a sip from the glass it was quite refreshing and mulled over what had happened so far

"Water for her and what do you have to eat here?" She asked, holding Adrianne's hand

Human territory. Riverpaw hung around near the edge of the trees, watching Xena and Adrianne through a window.

Vicky was following a squirrel through the trees, until she rammed head first into a tree, and ended up sitting in somewhat of a daze. She then shook her head and looked up the large tree, the squirrel was climbing it with ease. Vicky huffed in disappointment, and turned to find something else to do. She was quickly distracted by a grasshopper that was hopping around. Soon she was hopping every time it did following it, closely.

Sol chuckled quietly at the dragon
Artemis continued to watch the creature on the table

Helios took a seat on the bar, ordering some beer before taking a look at the people coming in. He noticed aura's of dragons and magic, indicating that these weren't your run of the mill people. Drinking his beer, he kept his eyes on the people, staying cautious and slowly moving his hands to his swords.

Riverpaw's ears perked at the sounds of movement nearby, and she crouched into the bushes and peeked around. From behind a tree, she saw another dragon, a bit smaller than herself, hopping after what looked like a grasshopper. She tilted her head, wondering what another young dragon was doing so close to human territory.

Artemis watched the people in the reverb closely
Sol took a sniff from the air their seemed to be many other dragons nearby

Vicky tried to pounce on the grasshopper, but it hopped away. She was quickly distracted by a bee flying past and began following it. She examined it as it landed on a flower and began drinking the nectar. Tilting her head back and forth trying to figure out what it was doing.

Robin put her hood up to hide Isolde and walked inside the tavern. "A mug of ale and your best bread." She called out, before sitting at the table closest to the door

He could tell these people were strong they carried a certain weight like they’ve been in battle before

Riverpaw watched the little purple dragon and the area around the two of them, just in case a human who wasn't Xena or Adrianne came along. She could smell other dragons nearby, and the energies they carried made her even more cautious; she knew it was just her nerves and that they could be as friendly as she was, but it never hurt to be careful.

Helios, was about to relax when some people walked up to him, it seemed to him that they were drunkards. He ignored them for the most part and what they were saying.
"Hey you a*hole, what's up with your cloak, you seem like a cultist!"
"Looks like his Mother never told him that he was a half bred bstard and she was Wh*re!"
"Both his parents left cause of that! They probably died when they saw his ugly face."
That was when he snapped, grabbing his char, he smashed it across the head of one guy while hitting the other guy with a burst of flames and lightning. He then sat down on another seat and continued drinking.

Artemis turned around “best not to mess with him” he murmured to himself
Sol sat down he noticed a presence of aura he hoped it wasn’t hostile but he still got prepared for an attack

Vicky suddenly looked up and sat down. She was listening to the sound of the birds in the trees, and the breeze that blew past her. She wasn't sure how to react, she didn't know how she was suppose to react. She'd never felt this kind of peace before. She knew fear, and sadness, and anger. She'd been shown some kindness and happiness. But she'd never known real peace, and she didn't know how to react to it. Her uncertainty quickly went away when she was distracted by the scent of a nearby dragon. She jumped up and began following the scent back towards this new dragon.

Gol'Monah moved, finally coming to rest on the outskirts of the village. The giant dragonelle came to settle close to the ground, the giant flower on her back remaining open, absorbing the sunlight from above. She moved her head, yellow eyes scanning the meadow further out, taking note of several other much younger dragons. The beast's nostrils flared, opening her jaws slightly to allow for better scent collection.
"Alright Liarra, time to head into town."
Gaelan had gone towards the back, waking his little sister. The girl yawned, ears twitching a bit, stretching her arms. Her tail uncurled from her side, tip flicking. Liarra rubbed her at her eyes a bit, looking up towards her brother with a smile.
"We're in town already? You moved pretty fast today Gol," the girl said, patting the side of the dragonelle that wasn't covered by the large platform. Her ears perked forward as she heard the rumbling chuckle.
Gaelan still held his smile, suddenly, but gently grabbing his small sister, and tossing her over his shoulder. He felt the small fists lightly beating his back, but there was giggling.
"Gaelan! Put me down!"
Liarra's older brother put on his charming grin, showing sharp canines and all, "Hmmm, but what if I don't want to?"
"C'mon Gaelan! Please!"
The older male was chuckling, walking off the back of the large dragonelle, then finally setting his little sister on the ground. The pair entwined their hands together, Gaelan leading Liarra forward through the village.

Riverpaw crouched lower in the grass, her wings fluffed up in alarm. Quietly, she moved towards the tree in front of her and climbed up, thanking the stars for her species' ability to do so silently. She settled on a thick branch and peeked around the trunk, keeping note of the new smells nearby.

Vicky bounced along following the scent to the place that Riverpaw had been. Then she followed the scent in the direction of the tree. Looking down and running forward, unaware of the tree in front of her. She ran head first into the tree.

Riverpaw flinched and kept her body close to the branch and hidden behind others. Oh dear. Oh dear. Her tail curled around her front, the green tail feathers spreading out to hide her among the leaves.
