Cartagia
In an ordinary situation in an ordinary world, Alkhar would probably have taken more initiative in this situation. Like offered to pay - but then he wasn't sure he had any money - or insisted on something or other in relation to the room - but then too much had been going on and he couldn't quite be bothered. It turned out that letting Rebecca handle things was just easier.
Sitting down on the chair he was shown, Alkhar tried his best not to show any indication of the pain - well, discomfort - he was still feeling from his leg. It wasn't much use, though, as the sitting down motion seemed to engage precisely the muscles which at this point hurt the most.
"Well, bloody hell."
Still affected by the pain, he ended up looking at Rebecca with an almost angry look, even though it wasn't actually caused by anything she said.
"Now why would I do something like that, Captain?"

That made sense. Not much time had really passed and the body count was likely pretty high. It could take awhile to get everyone accounted for he supposed.
"Hm? You sure about that?" he asked, even if he knew bakery food wouldn't do her much good. Shun supposed that she might have other uses for it, but if she was certain, he wasn't about to pass up an extra bite.

"Interesting..." Teagan said, a bit coldly. "Well I was wondering because I happen to be doing some research, mostly to help eliminate ignorance among the outsiders. Now I happen to look like an Outsider myself but I assure you I'm no stranger to this town. I just keep a low profile."
Another lie...god I hope she buys this. She's probably been here longer than me by weeks...
"What I do will be a public service to the Outsiders- a general report of happenings that are relevant to Outsider interests, told mostly by Outsiders themselves. It will help strengthen the...'community' around here." She paused and quickly ordered another gin.
"So it's been busy you say," she continued seriously, "can you elaborate on that?"

Alkhar folded his arms, demonstratively not taking the glass which was put down beside him. Not that this was a very bright move, he needed to drink. Actual fluids moreso than alcohol, actually, or else he would face a fine hangover the next morning.
"Well, I'm a rather decent cook, I'll have you know."
With a hint of a scowl, he added.
"So just what can youdo?"
Mumbling, half not intending to be heard, he went on.
"Surely those can't be people skills they promoted you for."

Research, she said? Helle wondered who in these areas would be interested in that kind of thing. After all, it seemed like a bit of a rough part of town, not exactly the type of place where people talked all fancy like, wanting to find out things like this lady here. But hey, maybe Helle was wrong. After all, she hadn't been around that long, maybe there were things she didn't know about this place.
Helle listened to the story and reasons that the woman who called herself Aven told, not managing to make much more sense of it still. Somehow it didn't quite add up, but oh well - there couldn't be much harm in talking to her anyway. She still seemed all right.
"Well, I don't know much about this community, but..."
She paused, putting on a thoughtful face as she let a finger rest on her own lips, a gesture she probably didn't realize she was making.
"A few nights ago, really strange things happened... I had just come here... to the inn, I mean, when suddenly people were running around and screaming and..."
Helle looked down at the table again, now looking slightly embarrassed.
"...and this really fast lady knocked me over."
She laughed apologetically, rolling her eyes at herself.
"It seems stupid, right?"

"Not at all. Actually any information about the incident here would be very valuable to my boss." She continued to watch this new stranger. She seemed like she was very clueless. Maybe even more clueless than Teagan, if that was possible.
"I'm actually trying to get more details about a lady...she was involved in another incident- an attack on the city. I'm trying to find out who she is and what her motives are. I mean, besides the general pillaging of a chaotic town like this."
By now, Teagan had downed a third drink. She had loosened up considerably and even smiled at the stranger once in a while. Hopefully she'd be more open to share how she got here too.
"So if you know anything more of this mysterious woman, please do tell. And also... perhaps it would also help my research if you explained how and when you arrived here?"
