Finishing up the shower Ania dressed in a shirt that hugged her upper body as tightly as it could while pants hung to her hips. The famed jacket was once more placed on her shoulders allowing her arms to be free. The marks along the skin shone a blistering pink before the color shifted into black. Looking more like the common tattoo if it weren't for the raised scarred skin. Though it seemed to fit the woman just fine; placing back the glamour she watched as her skin became a plain alabaster and hair a normal black. Some days she wished to show the moon light skin that made her kind famous or even her bejewled eyes.

But little did she know that her eyes still held its quality that her mind so focused on other things forgot to hid them from the world. To blend them like normal blue; no Ania slipped up this time. Exiting the room she walked down the stairs wet hair being twisted up into a bun on the top of her head to dry. One thing that couldn't be tolerated was wet hair just hanging there.

Stepping to the bar she opened her mouth for a drink. "Whiskey shooter and rum to chase dear." Not wanting to interrupt the conversation that was taking place but she could use a drink.

Veronica sat down on the stool and leaned forward, exposing the top of her breasts. However, it was no act of seduction. She was simply too tired to sit up straight. She used a hand to brush the hair back, away from her face, revealing more of her creamy skin. She smiled and let the man next to her get his order, after all, he was paying with money while what she would be paying with could only be of good use once. Apparently he was elf. She thought about commenting on how her ancestors were elves, till they continuously bred with humans till the ears and other characteristics faded. But it was still evident by her light skin against her dark hair. To be honest, she couldn't even remember what kind of elves they were, so she just kept her mouth shut at the risk of being accused a liar. It wouldn't be the first time. She caught the quick glance of the girl at the bar and what looked like her twin. Women were much less appreciative of her talents than men. Even those who preferred a woman didn't prefer her for some reason. She hadn't been with any that interested her really. Just the ones who had what she needed. "I'll take a scotch, neat." she said with no emotion. A drink sounded better than food and sleep. Maybe I have a drinking problem, she thought to herself and almost laughed out loud. No, she had a people problem.

Stykes gave the elven man a nod of understanding, many passed through Saria's manor just looking to stay low and enjoy some normality, the concept wasn't anything new to him. He awaited the woman's order whom he had escorted in, now quite fully awake thanks in part to her. As he looked on a freshly showered Ania entered the room once again, her even more fetching than before. He acknowledged her order quickly, ah she was a drinker alright.
"Sure thing, Ania, but not so quick this time, yeah?"
He proceeded to grab a mid shelf bottle of whiskey, filling a small shot glass he quickly put the liquor away, filling a low ball glass about half full with an equal quality rum. He pushed both accross the counter in Ania's direction before lifting his chin to acknowledge the woman's request, retaining his smile he turned his head a bit to the left to eye her with approval
"Scotch eh? My kind of girl"
he quickly reached under the counter not even having to look for this item, emerging with his own personal bottle of scotch and two lowball glasses, filling both about halfway he pushed one in her direction before setting the bottle down, and taking a sharp drink of the glass he kept for himself.
"Will either of you be staying with us?"
he asked aloud to both the patrons, knowing full well that the woman was on her last wind

(( sorry if im a bit slow XP ))

"'Ey! No! Careful with the delicates!" Yuni said and plucked the pan with the frying gyoza dumplings from the heartless, having been watching the critter handle the pan since she finished the seafood. "You'll crisp the dough 'fore the insides can cook!"

The Heartless looked a little miffed and gave a little huff with some gestures, to which the Nekojin assumed it was defending itself. Icy eyes rolled as she put the pan on the flat of her palm, raising the heat of her hand to a gentler temperature than that of the stove. All the gauges of the stove were clicked off, except for the oden and the ramen pots. They needed to stay warm.

Whistling a bit to herself, the petite girl peeked out of the door while shuffling the dumplings around with a pair of long chopsticks.

"Who's hungry and where does the food go?"

The wheels continued to turn in Saria's mind. Or at least try to.

She had been sitting in silence, staring forward, for a long time now. It had probably been an hour or two at this point. She didn't know. She was inside herself.

Finally, she moved. She turned her gaze towards Ralic, blinking a few times as her brain continued to desperately process what was going on.

"...Ralic?"

[BrokenDollEyes]

Slamming down the whiskey as soon as the glass touched her hand she gave him a sweet smile. "No my dear old grumpy any the corner won't let me" she indicated to her brother whom only huffed at her. Pushing the glass away and picking up the rum she took a good swig of it before allowing time for her body to adjust. After all what fun would it be yo be a sloppy drunk in front of strangers and wind up doing something stupid of herself.

Pick up the glass she sipped the liquor before swallowing it allowing it to hut the back if her throat and give it a good burn before hitting the belly.

Veronica took a deep gulp and slammed the drink down. It burned her throat, but it was a burning she was accustom to and had come to crave. "Oh wow...."she said smiling, eyes closed, "that's wonderful." And she laughed a little. It was a deep laugh, exhaustion still clear. The woman from the kitchen asked to take orders, but she had no money, so she hoped Stykes would order for her. She felt a little uncomfortable asking in front of the elven man, so she simply caught his eyes and answered his question. "I think you know the answer to that," but then she jumped her head and her voice. "It's awfully lonely travelling like I do...I guess I'll be spending another night on my own," she said suggestively. She finished her drink in one more large gulp and stood on wobbly legs. "I'm hungry, but I'm more tired. I'm afraid I'll fall asleep in my food. Do you think you could escort me to a place to sleep? I'd hate to lose my stamina on those stairs," she asked Stykes. She knew she still hadn't told him her name. She'd wait to see what kind of person he was first.

{{its ok, lol, i am too}}

"Yuni!"
Stykes exclaimed in partial surprise as he whipped around to face the Nekojin. She and her little heartless helpers she had recruited bearing a bountiful feast. He motioned for her put the feast in front of him on the counter for everyone.
"You've outdone yourself, Yuni!"
He was still partially surprised she was even awake and moving, let alone cooking for them after what she'd been through. He didn't miss the woman's eyes searching for his, it was subtle but he had caught it.
"Everyone please, help yourself, and thank you Yuni this is amazing!"
Stykes focused intently on the woman as she spoke, her insinuations quite apparent and piquing his interest.
"I would be more than happy to escort you to a room, but are you sure you don't want anything to eat?"
His words were filled with care and compassion, she looked as though she'd had quite a rough last few days, especially if what she said about not sleeping in days was true. He continued with giving her a chance to respond to his first question
"Tell ya what, eat something, and I'll make sure you get a comfy bed to sleep in"
He bargained with her playfully, happy to take care of others.

( sorry about the color changes I'm posting from my phone )

Ralic was sitting across the room from her, sitting Indian style with his eyes closed. He was regaining his strength and processing everything. It'd be a long time before he shadow stepped again. Plus he enjoyed his green eyes. He'd put the necromancy and shadow manipulation down if it meant he'd never disappear again. Once was enough. She turned into a tree. He got lost on another plane. They were even.

His eyes slowly opened and he couldn't help but smile when she said his name. "Still here," he replied with a soft chuckle. "are you feeling any better? Sorry about the timing. It was my only opportunity in years to come back to you and I refused to pass it up. I knew you'd process it in due time."

[_xX Faceless Enemy Xx_]

"'Sup?" Was Yuni's suave reply to the surprised note in Stykes's voice when he called her name, slate eyebrow quirked and an amused smirk on her face. She gave a moment to eye his new lady friend, to whom she gave a friendly smile to. Her curious gaze lasted a bit longer on the pretty male elf, but then she was given a place for the food.

Craning her head back to give a whistle for attention, she motioned out towards the counter with her chopsticks.

"Ja, c'mon guys. My belly isn't the only one that needs fillin'! ... Jus' bring the whole pot. Oden gets messy if ya try to divvy it up nicely." The Nekojin said before popping a gyoza into her mouth, chewing thoughtfully. Another minute for these.

Shuffling the dumpling about in the pan she balanced on her palm, Yuni got out of the way of the Heartless as they carried the pots and plates and such to the counter. She skipped on over to take a seat at an end, snickering quietly.

"Ya can bet ya scarf this is amazin'! Ramen, oden, sashimi for my sushi lovers, and gyoza, once they're done." Yuni explained, poking at a dumpling with a grin on her face. "You all better eat all this, or I will."

Saria just stared. She couldn't help it. She was dumbfounded.

"W-where have you been?" she asked, nearly choking out her words.

She pulled a few strands of blue hair across her shoulder, twiddling the hair through her fingers, a nervous gesture she did only when she was truly vulnerable.

Stykes's face seemed to light up towards the girl in the kitchen. Was he involved with her? If so, it definitely was a strike against him in her book. He was obviously enjoying her advances earlier. If was sleeping with other women it didn't matter to her. After all, it hadn't been long since she had slept with other men. She cringed at the memory. But to betray someone's trust was something she didn't want to be a part of. "Like I said," she said with a colder tone, "I'm tired. I'll just go relax on the porch for a bit." She turned around and walked out of the bar, slightly more in charge of herself now that she no longer needed his pity. She stepped outside of the inn to the small wraparound porch and sat on a swing. After a minute of swaying she laid her head back and closed her eyes, listening to the sounds of horses in the distance. She really was starving...

Stykes looked on in a bit of confusion at the female's quick change in demeanor. He popped one of the gyozas in his mouth, still quite hot, before swallowing it quickly. He stole one of the plates, adorning it with a small selection of each of the food items. Once his sampler plate was complete he topped off his glass of scotch before turning to Yuni and the Elf.
"Thank you Yuni, you really out did yourself with this"
He smiled at her, happy to receive tribute in the form o a feast for the care he and Saria had provided for her. He motioned in the direction of the door before excusing himself.
"I'll be right back, make yourselves at home"
And with that he strode through the front door, drink in one hand, sampler plate in the other. Upon reaching the door he gave a small knock to the frame to get the woman's attention before presenting the food.
"You really should eat"
He stated dryly in her direction, her mood change was a bit of a put off but days of wandering could be rather hard on someone, so he persevered.
"Want some company?"
He questioned as softly as possible, doing his best not to disturb her from her scene

[_xX Faceless Enemy Xx_]

Yuni's lips pursed in thought as she saw the quick change in the dark haired woman, nose wiggling as she plopped the finished gyozas onto a plate the Heartless gave her. That was interesting. Oh... oh, wait...

Ohhhhhhhh....

The Nekojin nearly choked on the dumpling she was currently chewing. The outrageous comedy of it all got her, and she starting giggling to herself. Stykes might not get it though. It was more of a girl thing. So she merely did what the scarfed lad was, stuffing her plate and filling a bowl or two full of noodles and various food items.

"Oh no~ Thank you!" Yuni grinned, stirring the ramen noodles in her bowl. "If ya think I out did myself with this, ya should see me at parties."

Then he left to accompany the woman, leaving Yuni with the elf and the twins. Curiously, she would watch them while munching.

[BrokenDollEyes]

Ania finished up the rum and moved behind the bar setting it down in the sink to be washed at a later time. Sure she wasn't suppose to be behind the bar but if people had an issue she assumed that they would have told her. Smelling the food made her stomach grumble with want: taking a look at what was out. The ramen called out to her the most at the moment and so a bowl was produced and some scooped inside of it. Taking a look around the room a smile crept on to her mouth watching the Stykes.

"Thank you Yuni, sorry about vanishing earlier." picking up a pair of chopstick and began to feed herself the noodles.

(yay laptops back)
