Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fuzen had been watching the people of Haven for some time. He had been her for forty years and no-one had choose to pay him any heed. He always seemed to be the centaur that was obsesed with necromancy. He was a little disappointed in the fact that the people who had actualy looked at him, only noticed the "dark" books he was reading. Not once had they noticed the druid books, or the the books embedded with the ancinet greek symbol for life. After the HQs had been destroyed and the tavern was the only building still intact, so he was left with nothing to do but observe the establishment known as the Titan's Rest. He had been in the shadows of the back door for weeks observing the different heros and villians that had come through the place. He was very intrigued with their talk of the mainland, he had not been their for so long... what kind of just evil had ascended upon his home? His thoughts trailed to Kaori, the girl whos dreams were responsible for transforming him into this beast.
Fuzen snapped out of his dazed and trotted to the back door of the bar. He found the bottle that the girl just before had used to unlock to door. He withdrew the key from it's container and he entered through this "discreet" way. He did fancy a drink, but he also wanted some social interaction. It had been a long time since he had been accompanied by living people, and he was growing fearful he might not know how to have humane interactions if he did not do so soon.

"Zzzzz"

Ruby fumbled with the flashlight, she turned it on and shined it right in the newcomer's face. "What kind of introduction was that? You don't tell people you've been watching them for a long while. Name, date of birth, social security number, and home address. Come on now, we don't have all day, and I ain't gonna just trust a fellow off the street. "

She held a confident stance. One hand on her hip, her chin high. But the light of the flashlight wavered ever so slightly, as she was unable to control the shaking of her hand.

Ruby made a face, "excuse me? Should I offer you a microscope? Or will your natural eye's do just fine? Y'know I can turn around in circles if yer needin too." She tapped her foot against the kitchen floor, her arms crossed.

She didn't trust him, not because of his appearance, or the odd circumstances in which they met, she didn't trust the oddly polite behavior. Where she was raised folks were raised to be polite. There was a natural genteelness, and then there was the top-coat of paint, where a man tried to disguise his intentions with an appearance of proper manner. She had met plenty of the second type, dated a few of them.

She had also met a few of the first, and she knew that a polite man would never be so defensive. He would never react sharply to a question, no matter how intrusive, perhaps he would sidestep it, but he would keep his cool. His response, of "pardon me, if the knowledge of my being aware of my surroundings frightens you, my intentions were pure," attempted to throw the guilt onto her, for doubting his intentions. No gentleman would redistribute guilt like that, he would apologize, not ask for fogiveness. And no gentleman would glance so openly at her body, for whatever reason.

Ruby had every mind to turn him out, but as always she felt a tug of conscience. She was always a soft hearted one. "We don't have a stable, but we got a storage type of room that might fit yer needs. I'll bring you some food once I make us all a meal. I doubt yer money would be any good to us, so you might as well keep it."

Fuzen took note of the change in her behavoir and adjusted his behavior accordingly.
"I am sorry for giving a false perception to who I am. It is just rather difficult to company for someone who is deemed evil. " he smiled then turned to leave, " I appreciate the the offer, but I respectfuly decline. I commend you on seeing my false persona, but a little advice if you are willing to hear me out," he paused taking a moment to decide if he should tell her without waiting for her approval, "I could tell you became suspcious of me because your reaction to me changed. You voicetone changed and your comments were flung to give you time to evaluate how you should react to me." he paused a moment, " You then decided to give me lodging, saying my money was probally of no use, not knowing my history. A good tavern owner or employee would not so readily reject a traveller's money without knowing what they might pay with." Fuzen bowed as he turned back around to leave.
"I enjoyed your company, dear Ruby and maybe we could speak again, but I will take my leave. Enjoy your night." Fuzen walked out the back door and trotted slowly down the street.

((Right on, Streak)).

"Well if I didn't know you were a villain then, I sure as hell do now, only villains give out such long drawn out monologues." She waved him off as he left. "You be careful out there."

She chuckled to herself. She hadn't even thought about hidin' her suspicion, never occured to her that she would ever need to. She also laughed because there was a reason she had been the cook at the tavern rather than the keeper or a bartender, Anc knew she wasn't any good with money.

"I'm still concious enough to move." Alloran grunted, pushing himself up, sitting on a stool.
"Yeh need a damned blanket fer yer arm there, Farren." Alloran paused, yelling out. "Ruby, come make me a drink, I'm too tired to be bothered."

"Zzzz"
