Greetings and Serale Chauncey! (Sorry. Lame game reference.) We're glad to have you around. I was getting worried nobody loved us enough to join. I sent you a PM with a few little things about what's going on here, so check your private messages.
Enzeru... what kind of shop is actually named "Materials Shop"? >.<
Amarth and Shoan began making their way through the town to look for a tavern, or anywhere they could eat. This was Amarth's first time in a big city in the past five years. He didn't like it at all. He walked to the side and he walked tall, ensuring the other citizens would make way for him. Shoan on the other hand was eating this scene up. He loved everything about the big city. He walked right through the tightest crowds, relishing the feeling of community. He frequently bumped into nobles and apologized profusely. He also managed to pick up any valuables the nobles may have... "dropped".
After walking for a few minutes, they came across a sign that read "Sutabe Tavern". Shoan and Amarth nodded at each other and went in. They sat down at the bar and called to the waiter. It didn't take long for the two large weapon-wielding men to get attention.
Shoan - "Bring us two of the biggest rice bowls you got, two of the strongest drink you got, and ... "
Amarth (In a low voice directed at Shoan) - "Tea."
Shoan - "And a pot of your best tea!"
Waiter - "Mac, the biggest rice bowls we got are made to feed parties of five or more. You're fine with that?"
Shoan - "Better than fine."
Waiter - "Your money."
He went in the back and began calling the order out to the chef, then returned with a pot of tea and two drinks that were barely more than raw alcohol.
Waiter - "The food'll be here in a minute."
With that, he walked over to the other end of the bar to serve the young ladies that had just walked in... and which immediately caught Shoan's eye.
"I'll be back Bro."
Shoan took his drinks and went over to the girls to start working his magic. Bits and pieces of the conversation drifted over to Amarth's ears.
Shoan - "Their meal's on me barkeep."
Shoan - "Aww, c'mon."
Girl - "I don't know."
*Laughter*
Girl - "I can't drink that!"
Shoan - "Sure you can."
*Coughing and more laughter.*
After a few minutes of flirting, Shoan came back over, slightly inebriated with two very inebriated girls in his arms. "Amarth, I'd like you to meet Candy and Sandy. Their sisters! Their parents had some wierd sense of humor or something." *Giggling*. Amarth found Shoan's antics somewhat boring, and was relieved that the barkeep chose that time to bring their rice. Amarth took it and began to head outside so he could dine in the fresh air.
Barkeep - "Hey mac. You're not goin' out with a meal like that before payin' for it."
Shoan slapped a fist full of gold coins on the bar and the bartender's eyes (as well as the girls') lit up. "That'll cover us for the rest of the day I'm sure."
Bartender - "Y... Yeah. Sure. I expect that'll do the job. You're a good man Mac. Anything else I can get ya?"
Shoan - "How about a round of drinks for all my buddies here in your fine establishment?"
Bartender - "Comin' right up."
The sound of cheering faded as the door closed behind Amarth. He found that dining outside the tavern was suprisingly peaceful, in spite the bustling city around him. There was a strange serenity to be found in the union of such a vast number of people.
