"...Where do I come from? You know what, I dunno. I'm a traveller you see. I roam many different places and different places. So frankly, I go where my whims take me, and I ended up here from Sigil. Do I plan on staying? I don't know. I'll see how interesting this place is, and if something here can keep me around, I'll stay." He replied and took a sip, grinning.
"And whom may I be speaking to?"

The nodded at the man's answer, seemed fair enough. He extended his hand
"Zero, I own this place with Angel."
His hands were wrapped all the way up into his sleeve, from what he could see there were runes carved into the cloth

He returned the handshake, revealing bandages knuckles. Then his hand passed through Zero's, but his fingers seemed to trace the runes on the cloth. Then it passed through his arm and back to around his glass before the stranger smiled. "...Chaos....I recognize those runes. If I am right, and correct me if I am wrong....those are symbols of a Chaos God."
His blow eye narrowed before his grin turned mischevious. "If I am correct.." His voice lowered a little. "These particular runes indicate violence, bloodshed, and the more bloody aspects of war. So bu judging these runes, you affiliate with Khorne, the Chaos God of bloody, angry warfare. Of course, I could be wrong and I just happened to find similar runes on some very angry Khornites looking to kill me."

He was not surprised by the man's knowledge as they get all types here.
"Close, my friend. But these specific runes are meant for restraint and binding. I've turned over my ways, though the Gods still seem to have other plans for me. So, I wear runed wraps to help keep myself in check. I'm more or less a generator of Chaos energy and...well...terrible things tend to happen if I let it all roam free."
He only smiled after his explanation.
"And you don't seem to have quite a permanent foothold in this reality."

"I choose not to. I have nothing worth my time to commit myself fully to this reality. If anything can hold my interest, I may give them the honor of touching more than my hand. Course, I doubt there are much women who would love someone like me. I visited a place called Auria. One hour there, and I pissed off all the higher ups when I took this annoying women on a planar ride...So I tend to be leary of them."
He took a big gulp and sighed. "This may not mean anything from me, but if you have a good girl, by God keep her. Time and fate are fickle, and the only thing fair is randomness and death....but I guess years of being spruned by the opposite sex has made me bitter."

"You're preaching to the wrong choir, my friend. I know more about that than I'd ever care to."
He sighed, a rather depressed one at that followed by a few moments of silence
"W..we get alot of people who just pass through, but that's fine. IF you find something you like, great. If not, oh well, it is what it is. You can only enjoy the here and now."

"...You know what, I think you need a vacation. I know quite a few exotic planes to renew that male vigor. The last thing we need is for a bunch of us to be depressed due to misfortune in the female area. I'm not saying let's run out there and get laid, but honestly, I think this place brings some hurtful memories for you chum."
Baelgun sighed and leaned in his seat, staring at the ceiling. "Ever thought about yourself and your needs? Y'know, be selfish. Screw what others think and do what is right for you. After all, as you said, enjoy the here and now!"

"I've spent enough of my time being selfish. I had the perfect thing going for me...and I...I screwed it up...I can only hope one day i can make ti all right again. But until such a time, I need to be here. If I wanted to get away, I would. You are not the only one who has to ability to travel to other planes and realities. I'm far better off now than I was before her."
He chuckled a little bit to himself now
"No, I'm good right here. Thank you."

"If you say so. I've spent quite some time on quite a few different planes, so I know a few places if you need to rev up that testoterone chum. And this is none of my business, but was it your screw up? I dunno the situation, and I figure you won't tell me, but problems in a relationship is usually 50/50. " Reaching into his coat, he produced two ebony colored cigars. "You got to try one of these bud. Wicked taste of vanilla mixed with spices."
He lit his own up and sighed a little with smoke exiting his nostrils. "You may say your better off now then you were before her, but take a look at yourself. I sense regret, despair, and pity. And you have the look of a warrior: feelings like those are detrimental to you. Of course, I have no room to speak as a social worker or whatever. I suppose i'm just concerned when I see a fellow man down on his luck."

He waved the offer off
"No thank you. I don't smoke. And it was my fault. I had it all, I regret..."
He sighed
"I had some internal issues that I had to deal with that I didn't want to drag her through. So, I disappeared without a word. When I was finally able to come to my senses I knew that I wasn't fit for her anymore. One day, maybe...but not right now. I pride myself as a warrior, but being a good father more. When I want to fight, when I want to kill...I can and do with little prejudice. But, I don't want to anymore, not now. I'm tired of it. I just want to have a family and a wife and take care of this place."
He cracked his knuckles as he leans back on the wall.

"I have a question. Does she deem you unfit to be in her and your children lives, or do you deem yourself unfit to be in her and your children lives? Because you may be whipping yourself for absolutely nothing. She may be missing you as we speak, but you continue to torture yourself. I'm no expert on relationsips, but you could come back and ask for both forgiveness and a chance to explain yourself." Baelgun replied and took another deep inhalation.
"We all have issues. When we come to terms with them, the question we need to ask ourselves is everyone else ready to accept them as you have."

The question went unawnsered. He knew the awnser and it was far more complex then he cared to go into.
"Life will be what it will. I can only ride it for as long as I am able."
And with a shrug, he rolled it off his back
"I take it this is your first time here?"

"Yep. I heard from a source that this place was pretty wild, and I need something to get me going..." He took another puff, letting the smoke rise at its own accord. "To be honest, I dunno if I'll settle here. But I doubt it will be for a woman...Seems like they're nothing but trouble. We warriors and travellers do as we please, then BAM! A woman comes along and changes our world for better or for worse."
"So, what's this place like?"

"It can be quiet, like it is tonight. Or it can be complete and utter chaotic hell if the right, or wrong, elements all mix together. Really, a game of chance."
