Div stuck his tongue out eyes alight with amusement,
“Who doesn’t enjoy tying up things or being tied up?” He tried to effect an innocent look, but failed completely moving instead to get the rope. He bent catching hold of it fingers straightening it and moving lithely down it. He moved cheeky grin stretching his lips catching the male’s left wrist as he had been instructed slipping the rope around it fingers moving lightly and surprisingly delicately as he set to tying the other to the boards.
His face took on a look of concentration as he nimbly tied a quick sailor’s knot. They were easy enough to untie, but only if you could reach them. Otherwise they were pretty strong knots, it’s not like he really wanted to trap the male here for that long. Div wouldn’t even be here to see him when he woke up and how he reacted so he didn’t care about the other escaping. That was actually part of the plan. It might take him a little to find that it was actually easily undone, but well he could struggle for the knife then.
Once done he gently brushed his hand against the rope twisting it a little and loosely tying the dangling ends together so it at least looked neater from the front. He nodded satisfied to himself and straightened fully to see what Treskri was up to. She had tied the male’s leg and had set the male’s knife down. It really would be amusing to see him struggling to get to the knife before he realised he could just untie himself with a bit of a struggle as you would normally need two hands to do it easily.
The Illusionist smiled warmly as Treskri called him dear. He swept a florid bow moving to her side and offering her his arm to take if she wished sending her a slight wink,
“I am indeed ready my lady.” He was ready to lead her back to the pub and to the food that awaited them. Today really had been a most productive day for him. He had avoided a fight, made a friend and was going to eat with them.

Treskri grinned at Div's amusement and laughed heartily.
"True..unless one isn't into bondage, and with how drow are..who isn't in the Underdark?" The question was a rhetorical one..so she wasn't really waiting for an answer.
Ah..he was a rather interesting little thing. Treskri definitely wanted to get to know him a bit better and perhaps even become associates or "friends" as he called it. To have an illusionist on one's side would be a smart thing. Especially with how easily other drow could be fooled when an illusionist was at work.
She laughed again when Div bowed to her and offered her his arm and boldly winked at her.
"Good," she said in return and took his arm laughing in delight. "Then let's go."
Div was quickly nudging a place in a corner of her affections already. Perhaps..she mused she might be able to convince him to go with her to get some massage work done later, after they were finished with watching the warrior attempt to escape. If it was too boring she could always have him liven things up with illusions of spiders crawling up the massuere's arms.

Div smiled setting off jauntily once Treskri took his arm easily finding his way back to where they had been before, although he aimed for the front entrance. They didn’t really need to walk in the back door again. He found Treskri was interesting and he didn’t feel any real wariness towards her. It had been commented by others that he lacked a certain amount of suspicion that most drow had and he also lacked a simple survival instinct or so his magic teachers had declared more than once. He was willing to try most things and could be quite abrupt not really thinking his actions through.
His attention span was quite short if something did not interest him, but those that he accepted as friends he was extremely loyal to finding his attention when they were involved was exponentially better than at any other time.
He swept an arm before them at the front door to the pub,
“Here we go my lady. I am sure that they will remember us.” He shot her a “considering” look eyes twinkling with mirth, “You do tend to make an impression.” He pressed one hand to his chest glancing at his bright clothes, “I fade into nothing by your side, your presence is too bright for me.” He released her arm standing to the side ready to follow her in tilting his head at Treskri. “After you my lady.” His tone was cheeky and even when being "polite" he managed to make it sound like he wasn't.

Treskri couldn't help but grin as Div escorted her back down the way they had come walking in a rather jaunty cheeky manner. Gods..she had been laughing and smiling more today than she normally did in several months' time. Which was rather sad. Her face was beginning to become sore from all of it, as were her lungs and side muscles. She was going to have to learn to get used to his mannerisms or she'd be reduced to a pile of tears and laughter every time she was in his presence.
And his cheekyness just became more pronounced..much to her amusement and strained sides. She began laughing again.
"Oh, I gather they will, Div. You're a just a little cheeky flirt aren't you?" She teased with a flutter of her eyebrows. "Keep it up and I may just have to gag you and have my way with you." She added leaning over to whisper in his ear in a sultry tone. "Unless of course, you aren't one to just fool around."
Then she sauntered into the bar, her hips and body sashaying ever so slightly in a rather flirtatious manner. She paused after a few paces into the bar and looked back over her shoulder at Div.
"Time's a wasting dearest Div."

The illusionist found his crimson eyes widening a moment in surprise smile brilliant,
“Tie me up hmmmm?” His grin was wicked and terribly amused all at once. He was when it came down to it a great enjoyer of having fun. In his case though this had normally involved few females. He had spent some pleasant times with females, but it was not his preference on the whole. However, one thing he was not averse to ever, was fun. He watched her appraisingly as she left his side after speaking into his ear.
He supposed she wasn’t hard on the eyes and he had definitely had a fun time so far with her. She seemed more than willing to allow him to indulge in his pranks. Although it was a terrible truth that his attention wandered fiercely and after the initial fun ended he would normally just saunter on his way eyes bright and looking for the next piece of entertainment. He shook his head knocking the thoughts away.
Whatever would be would be. He wasn’t one given to great amounts of introspection anyway. He had nodded as she looked back calling for him,
“Cheeky little flirt? I like the sound of that.” He muttered to himself, it was certainly one of the nicer things that had been said about him. He chuckled darkly even as he started to walk forward into the pub more than ready by now to eat the food that had been prepared. All his thoughts went to the repast he was about to enjoy, “This is the start of a beautiful friendship.”

Treskri couldn't help but giggle at the sight that crossed over his face. Oh..this would be fun.
"I thought you would, Div deary." Treskri replied with a sly wink as they were approached by the proprietor of the bar. "And I fully agree with that. A beautiful friendship indeed."
"Ah..there you are," Treskri pronounced almost pouncing on the unfortunate male.
The owner jumped at her touch almost leaping four feet into the air, had not Treskri kept a grip on him to keep him grounded.
"now..we'd like one of the tables in the back where the lowlifes can't oogle us. This is a rather private dinner and we don't want to be disturbed like earlier."
The owner nodded, gulping in alarm and led them back to a private area in the bar. Once the two of them were settled he motioned for a server to come over and see to them and he hurried off to grab their meals from the back room. The server stood around looking rather uncomfortable and not really knowing what to do since they already had meals coming..until he remembered they didn't have any drinks.
"Would you care for some Drinks lady and lord?" He asked meekly.
"Yes please," Treskri replied running her hands over the wood grain of the table. "We'll have your best beer."

Div rolled his eyes slightly when she called him ‘Div deary’ a smile still on his lips. He had to hold back a chuckle at the startled look on the owner’s face. He looked as if he wished to be anywhere but where he was right now. He supposed he couldn’t blame the other male. He allowed his own gaze to sweep across the room, slowly taking in the fact that since his prank and the ensuing exodus new people had arrived. Seemed that they hadn’t really hurt the owner’s business.
The illusionist smiled as he half listened to Treskri thinking on how they had been interrupted. It hadn’t really been anyone’s fault but his own. Not that it meant anything to him. He followed smoothly as the owner led the way into the private area. He had settled smoothly into place eyes scanning this quieter area. It wasn’t bad.
He settled one elbow on the table small smile tilting his lips as he dropped his chin into his palm. He was more than comfortable to allow Treskri to deal with the owner and merely nodded when she ordered them both beer. His tone was teasing though as he spoke to the female opposite him,
“Only the best for you is it?” He winked, “At least you have good taste, I mean you are spending time with me.” He leant back slouching a little in his seat brushing a hand absently down his front smoothing away imaginary dust.

"Why of course. Why would one settle for crap when one can have the best? Especially in regards to you Div luv." She replied with a lazy smile on her face.
Like Div, Treskri's eyes roamed around the bar taking in the new customers and the more laid back relaxed feel coming off of them. At least these drow weren't the carousing type, though this meant that there wasn't really much entertainment to keep her occupied. Perhaps Div could change that.
With a wide grin Treskri turned to eye Div for a moment before she posed the question.
"Kind of quiet in here..isn't it?" She asked, reaching over and playing with his hair absently. "Perhaps a bit of excitement would liven things up a bit, eh?"

Div’s look was innocent,
“Liven things up?” He allowed his eyes to slide to the side casually. It was quieter in here he supposed, although his attention had not been distracted yet. He arched one pale brow, “You have not yet had your fill of excitement my lady?” His grin was outrageous, “I mean you’ve already stripped one male and still you want more.”
The Illusionist chuckled to himself holding his hands up before him waggling them lightly eyes twinkling, “I could amuse you with a card trick perhaps? You have seen how proficient I am with them.” He tilted his head as a server scurried over placing their drinks down and dashing away as quickly as possible giving them only a wide eyed look as if he expected them to jump at him and attack him.
Div snorted looking away from the fearful server with some disgust. There was fear and then there was cowardice. He returned his attention to Treskri, “Mayhap I could amuse you with some trick or other…” He laughed, “I am apparently an amusing fellow.” He lifted his drink taking a large mouthful of it.

Treskri about spat out the mouthful of beer that she had in her mouth at his look and his words. Gods..he was such a fun one! Treskri managed to swallow her mouthful of beer without gagging on it and then smacked the table and laughed. "gods Div, you about made me choke on my beer with that act." She chuckled.
She drank another mouthful and then gazed around the bar room a bit before turning her gaze back to him.
"Hey..once I waken up my wild side it takes a lot to tame it." She said with a wink of mischief in her eyes.
She turned to gaze him over thoughtfully at his next words, mulling them over for a little while before she finally replied.
"Does this card trick involve messing with other people? Cause if it does, count me in. I think that fellow over there could use something to brighten his spirits." She pointed out a lone figure sitting at the bar's counter, who was wallowing in his drink, several empty bottles around him indicating that he had been drinking quite heavily.
"I wonder what has him down so much." She mused. "And..yes so you are amusing Div. More amusing than most drow..which is a grand thing indeed."
The proprietor finally came out of the backroom with two steaming platters in his hands and made a path towards them. He stopped at their table, and with flair sat the two platters in front of each of them with a slight bow. "I hope the food is to your liking..I decided it would be better to have your order freshly cooked instead of the one they made for you earlier. Also..the second order is on the House..no need for payment." The male finished, bobbed his head once more and immediately departed to leave the two of them alone.
"Well..that turned out pretty nice for us, don't you think?" Treskri asked with a rather amused and pleased look on her face.

Div quirked one brow at her words about her wild side,
“Why does that not surprise me? I think you may even be worse than I am.” He drank from his cup again as he listened to her continue to speak, “Hmmm, I suppose the trick could have something to do with someone else. Or I could just….” He glanced from side to side leaning forward slightly his voice lowering although none were close enough to hear them,
“This will be on the small side, but well I think I have attracted enough mass attention for now. I do try and keep my head down sometimes. I am liable to be told off for my lack of sense if I don’t” He smiled fondly gaze going distant as he seemed to be remembering something. The far away look vanished and he blinked clearing his throat and sitting back waving a hand vaguely, “Just watch.” He waited as their meals were brought over and cast the owner a surprised look when he said they were on the house. They must have seemed very terrifying to the poor male.
His eyelids closed for a moment when the owner left before he opened them, but Div’s eyes were unfocussed as he concentrated on the image in his mind. He pushed it towards the man Treskri had pointed out. Div could feel the buzz that always came from using his magic and swallowed hard.
The air in front of the other male shimmered around the cup he held in his hand. At first it seemed there was no change. Then the male went to take a sip and seemed to choke flinging his cup from him eyes wide and a hand wiping hurriedly at his mouth. When the cup hit the floor for a moment it was possible to see that the contents looked to be a mass of spiders crawling over each other fighting to get out. Div blinked slowly again and there was but a puddle of liquid spreading across the floor. Others gave the scared looking drow odd looks. Div allowed a secretive smile to play around his lips as he reached casually for his food avoiding anything that even looked like a vegetable. He murmured quietly,
“Have I amused you my lady?”

Treskri about choked on her beer again at the illusionist's words. She thumped the mug back down on the table and pushed it away from her. It seemed that Div was set on making her laugh, so if she wanted to survive the night she'd have to keep liquids away from her.
"Worse? Pssht. You haven't seen anything yet, Div!" Treskri said with a gleeful smile on her face.
She was rather pleased when Div gave into her and explained why it would be more on the small side than before. She really didn't care what scale the prank was on, just that she would have something to entertain her. She didn't speak, and concentrated on Div for a moment before she allowed her eyes to wander back over to the fellow at the bar.
What followed made her snort behind her hands, and shake silently with laughter. Ah..now that was priceless!
"Most definitely Div." She replied with a broad grin and then tackled her meal with gusto.

Div ate some more from his plate able with some difficulty to control his laughter. Last time he had laughed after a prank in this place, which in fact had not been too long ago, he had near regretted it. He had some good food and amusing company this time that he would prefer to be able to enjoy. Div took a deep breath reaching for his cup and drinking from it as he settled himself completely. When he put his mind to it he was quite good at controlling himself, but well he so rarely had reason to bother.
The Illusionist waved one hand in the air lazily accepting her words,
“I am glad that I have met with your approval.” A slight chuckle escaped him. He felt comfortable and was entertained for once. There was no worry that his attention may wander and cause any further mishaps for him. Although he supposed he was to blame for what happened earlier as it had been his conscious decision to play a prank. He was satisfied for now though.
Div drank from his cup again a small buzz going through him and he had to remind himself that he really shouldn’t drink a lot. He was not the best at holding his drink. A slight wince passed his face as he remembered the last time he had drank too much. Well…more than he could handle, which was not a lot. He shook his thoughts away turning to his food again, “I have just thought, we do not know much about each other. Mind, I feel you know more about me my lady than I of you. You already know I am an Illusionist. I am quite certain that you are not, but that is as far as I will guess. It’s better that way, because I do hate to be wrong.” He sent her a smile belying his own words.

Treskri could see that Div was having difficulty in controlling his laughter while he ate. She couldn't help but grin at it. Gods..laughter was the best thing to ease stress and morbidity. She couldn't see how anyone could go without laughing...it was such a tension buster.
She watched him eat, out of the corner of her eye as she attacked her own plateful of tubers, mushrooms, and roth steak. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked. She swallowed a mouthful and shot Div a wink and a smile at his words. She could tell he was having as great of a time as she was. That would make her suggestion for later go so much easier.
His next words made her grin even wider. Oh this was going to be easier than she thought! He wanted to get to know her better did he? The little flirt!
"So I've realized, Div." She said with a smile, reaching across to wipe a bit of sauce that Div had on the corner of his chin. "You missed some." She said, licking the sauce off her finger and casting him a rather appreciative glance.
"Yes, I think it would be smart to get to know one another better. And you assume right, I do know you're an illusionist. I'm a surface raider. I was certain I told you this before," She said musing for a moment before waving a hand in disregard. "No..you're right, I didn't mention that. So then, just how do you propose we get to know one another better Div dear?"

Div only blinked as Treskri leant towards him wiping some sauce from his chin, he hadn’t even noticed it till she pointed it out. He shrugged lazily smile as cheeky as ever,
“Well at least one of us didn’t miss it or that would have been a greater tragedy than I would have been able to abide.” It seemed nothing could stop his rather, odd manner of speaking. The Illusionist smiled blindingly picking more at his food sending a mock glare at some of the vegetable matter before chuckle quietly to himself. He did have some rather odd quirks.
He listened crimson eyes sweeping back to Treskri as she told him what she did. It nudged a vague memory and his face scrunched up a moment as he started to think. In order to help his thinking he had another sip of his beer before remembering he shouldn’t indulge too much in it. He looked at her wheels turning hard in his head as he tapped a finger against his lips muttering to himself,
“Hmmmm…heard that before…? Maybe….” He clicked his fingers sitting up straighter abruptly eyes widening as he remembered, “You have told me that before. When I asked you about knots and you told me you were good at them.” He looked abashed, “See I was listening…my mind just….wanders.” He shrugged almost apologetically, but his eyes still held a twinkle of mirth that just wouldn’t be extinguished.
He returned his attention to her question sitting back tilting his head hands pressed to the table moving them from palm up to palm down as he spoke, it seemed almost an absent action. “How should we get to know one another better? Hmmm…” He shrugged again eyes bright, “Doesn’t really matter as I am certain that whatever happens it will be memorable.” He laughed, “I am awful at planning things it used to drive my teachers insane, mind it didn’t help they think I lack suspicion.” He snorted shaking his head quirking one brow, “Hang out with me too long and you will find yourself in all sorts of trouble. As I said, I do tend to attract it. Luckily, for you I wander a lot, it’s my attention as I have said. I get…distracted.” He pressed a finger to his own nose prodding it bemused, “So far I have been lucky and managed to avoid any…serious injury. That would definitely put a crimp in my life.” He appraised her in a glance grin widening a fraction, “Although I am certain you get into your fair share of trouble yourself.” His hand made an aborted reach to his cup, he really didn’t want to end up drunk, it would show her a different side of his personality true, but only so much at one time and all that.
