((Thanks ^^ and I know it looks like im off XD you'll know if i'm off when I don't post for awhile))
Korsu made it back to the shop and put the horse in the stable out back. Walking in he called "I'm back, and I've got the money" as he went down and put the money in the cash register. He resisted the impulse to take some money as he pocketed the tip he had got and then went up stairs to his 'room'.

Alice heard the commotion and smiled. The eaters didn't want to get involved, but apparently the innkeeper didn't mind. Alice finished her meal, gulped down her milk, and went to sit with the man with the gem on his shirt.
"That an earring?" Alice asked innocently.

"Why no, it's a very valuable crystal handed down along my family tree and has now found it's self in my hands, or rather, my shirt." Darque said smoothly, it was sarcasm but at least if the innkeeper heard it he wouldn't be able to tell that or not. "It matches my outfit, no?" He asked, leaning over the table to take a better look at the girl herself.

"Actually, yes. Did you make a special outfit to match it, or was it coincidence?" Alice didn't buy the family heirloom story, and continued to talk without an answer to her question, "I believe that you didn't get that from a family member, so who you did get it from, maybe, a friend, or even a stranger?" Alice was surprisingly sharp for her age, and she leaned onto the table. He was also leaning forward, so they were dangerously close to kissing, or butting heads, whichever you prefer.

"Actually, on purpose. I got the crystal to match the outfit." Darque said, answering her first question even though she had continued talking as is she had never even asked it in the first place. "My dear, you know there is about a 12 year age difference here right?" Darque asked, skipping over her second question on account of having no answer. Now, Darque wasn't into kissing tweens, kids who weren't yet teens but not younger then 10, so this girl was probably 11 or 12. It might have even alerted the innkeeper at how close their faces were, seeing as how old Darque was and how young the girl was, but it didn't since he had already stormed back into the back room since he couldn't find who he had been looking for.

"Oh, so it is a present then? Did you do something to get it?" Alice didn't like it when someone dropped a subject, but she also didn't like it when there were two conversations going on at once between the same two people, at the same time. She was also trying to be subtle because the innkeeper had returned and was walking past their table as she spoke.

"Excuse me you two, but have ether of you seen a boy with a green earring around lately?" The innkeeper asked, interrupting Darque's response to the girls questions. Darque looked up at him,
"Why, you mean the boy who left a while ago?" Darque asked the innkeeper, trying to keep his attention on his face and not on the shinning green jewel just below it.
"He left!?" The innkeeper shouted, running out front to see if the boy was still around. Darque snickered and turned back to the girl.
"I must have done three things to get it, huh?" Darque said, smiling innocently.

"Oh, maybe the same kind of five things I did to get this?" Alice gestured toward her own earring, "You must be good at what you do to just get a green one... I made a few mistakes when I started. Oh, yea I'm Alice, what's your name?" Alice was slumped down before she introduced herself, when she did though, she perked up.

"Depends, what do you think my name is?" Darque asked, leading back in his chair and putting his hands behind his head. Just then, another waitress came by and asked if they were going to order anything or just sit and take up room. Darque smiled at her, kind of put off by her, lets just say, ugly appearance. "I'll have whatever's most expensive, my dear." He said, and turned back to Alice as the waitress snorted and walked back to the kitchen.

"Can you afford the most expensive thing? I'm pretty sure that it's like, forty bucks." Alice asked, regarding Darque in a way that made it seem like he was her distant relative and she was forced to live with him, "And If you have a retarded name like the in the story of Rumpelstiltskin, I'm not gonna guess."

"Ahh, well, then i guess you're not going to guess, are you?" Darque said, which basically said he did have a "retarded name like the in the story of Rumpelstiltskin". "Not to worry, i'm loaded right now. Well...." Darque pause a moment and counted something on his fingers, "Yeah, loaded." He put his hands back behind his head and grinned.

"How much do you have?"Alice asked, absentmindedly. She wasn't really waiting for an answer, so she got up and headed toward the door. She was stopped by the guys at the table Darque sat at when he first walked in.
"What do you guys want?"
"Give us your wallet, we forgot ours at home."
"Technically, this isn't my wallet." Alice smiled.
"Oh, so you stole it? You little thief."
"I'm a thief and I'm proud of it!" Alice acted high and mighty, putting her hands on her hips, and raising her chin. When she did, she saw how tall the guys really were. They were at least six two, and they were both buff.
"Proud? Also, by the look of that earring, if we turn you in, you'll be sentenced to death."
"Or put in the mines!" said a waitress that was passing by.
"Yea, you're helpful." Alice said, looking back at her, then she turned back to the two men, "Anyways, I think that you should get out of the way."
"The little girl wants us to get out of the way? How sweet."
"I've had it." Alice said, pushing the two aside, which she shouldn't of been possible, they were both at least two hundred pounds.

Darque sighed as the girl got up and left, it had been fun talking with her. He watched her talk with the two buff guys from the table he had sat at first when he walked in, then the waitress bringing him his order said something as she walked by them, then set his food down in front of him. Alice had pushed by the two buff guys and that had Darque on alert, those two weren't gonna like that and Darque decided to interfere before anything happened. He stood up after paying for his meal, the waitress not caring if he eat it for not, she just wanted the money, and he walked over to Alice. Darque slung and arm around her shoulders and walked with her,
"You want to loose these two beef heads with me?" Darque asked, not looking down at Alice as he talked. The to buff guys heard him of course, Darque wasn't really trying to be quite after all.
"What'd you call us?! Ohh, you're both going to be turned in bruised and bleeding after we get done with you!" One of the buff guys yelled and ran after them. Darque sidestepped easily and tripped him, the buff guy making a big thump as he hit the ground.

Bored, Korsu got up and went down to the front of the shop. He left the store and then headed up the street, hands in his pocket. Even though he stayed away from the vendors and stalls he still earned nasty looks which made him grin as he walked down the street.

Alice had managed to get out from under Darque's arm, and opened the door by the time the big guys had started yelling at each other for some reason. She ran down the street, and jumped over a few people as she went. She slowed her pace as she drifted farther and farther away from Darque and the inn, eventually ending in a walk. Most of the time, she would go from town to town, and steal from various stalls along the way, but with three other thieves in the same town as her, she felt that she could have some fun. She stopped at every stall and vendor, pretending that she was going to buy something, but then took each stack of money from the pockets of the costumers and even a few unwary sellers.
