Feeling a bit bored, David saw a TV hanging in one corner behind the bar. The bounty hunter leaped over the counter and turned it on. He put out his cigarette in an ashtray and began watching the news.
A news flash about the Roman and Maltir effort to end piracy came on. Images of a massive space battle between Roman warships and Prulg's pirate fleet flashed. The reporter went on to mention that the Imperator's personal command vessel along with several other Roman vessels had been severely damaged.
"Well this is certainly an interesting development." David thought to himself.

He shrugged. "I'm so genetically unstable that I'm not sure what could be defined as 'myself'." He sipped his coffee, enjoying the warm feeling running down his throat.

"Hmm." Emma strengthened her Sight, a strange light glimmering in her eyes as she examined him further with the vision that only mages possessed.

The doctor's entire body had traces of darkness in it. Not emanating from him, but leftover from the attacks of dark beings.
He raised an eyebrow. "Keep staring and I might show you my bad eye."

"I assure you, I have seen much worse."
Much worse and much more personal.
Blood...so much blood. Blood on her hands, and even more blood on...his. Her Lord.

"I wanna see," Skutz sighed as she walked in and stood next to him and smiled, "what do you have to hide this time?"

"And yet you're so interested in my condition. What could be interesting about a man with darkness residue surrounding him?" He sipped his coffee and glared at Skutz.

The bounty hunter was still fixated on the news flash. It just seemed to be repeating the same things over and over again. David sighed and switched off the annoying box.
Uninterested in what was going on in the Tavern at that moment, the bounty hunter lit up another cigarette and left. Eva would start to get worried if he stayed out too late.

One moment there was nothing and the next Wolf Vii stood at the base of the stairs, grinning in canine fashion. Surveying the Vestal and it's patrons she decided to put on something happy and see what happened.
Prancing to the bar on her hind paws, she procured a fresh pint of milk and began enjoying it.
"Evening." She mumbled mid gulp.

"It is of interest and that is all you ever need know."
Her eyes flashed with something...otherworldly.

"Oh please," Skutz huffed at Question, "you'll be fine in the long run..." She looked at David as he left and shook her head as she went over to Vii, Skutz wanted to make up for lost time, "evening to you too fuzzy one."

"Look, I can clean this darkness myself. I just don't have the energy to do so at the moment." He sipped his coffee and smiled to Vii. He then turned to Skutz. "Of course I'll be fine in the long run. In the long run, I evolve into a dominant species as mankind eventually dies out."

"Is that so?"
She cocked an eyebrow at the doctor, letting the Sight fade.

"Yes, that is so. I used up most of my energy to remove the darkness from this." He pointed to the covered eye.

The enchantress remained silent, steepling her fingers in front of her face.
Her features were calm, impassive, almost stony.
That said everything.
