If you can understand me ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ Then I can understand you ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ ↬ through black of day↬ dark of night↬ never free↱ Bastion was already hooked by Saul and was more than willing to help her out on her mission. He felt like it was his duty to help out pretty ladies in need. And then she just had to do and offer him a reward. There was almost nothing that could make him turn away from her now. He had just told himself that he needed another job to bring in some more funds, and this was perfect. He could kill two birds with one stone-- flirt with a pretty lady and get money. This was the most perfect job ever. There was a twinkle in those brown eyes of his as he said, "Sure, whatever you like," and finished with a smile. "I think we should get a few more together, just to be on the safe side of things.
Bastion thought for a moment about anyone around town that he knew could be of use to them. And then of some of those men who wouldn't try and steal Saul away from him. As far as he was concerned it was just a matter of time before she fell into his open arms. And just the thought of that made a silly grin spread across his lips for a moment. And just as he was about to say something stupid, Saul pulled him back into reality with a question. "Saul Yi," he rolled her name over his tongue for a moment before smiling, "Pretty name. And I am sorry it took so long to introduce myself, I am Bastion Hunt. Maybe you've heard of me in your travels?" He wasn't sure if he was really that well known, but it was a nice line all the same and he had always wanted to say it to a lady like Saul. ↵Location: some tavern SANOSUKE Mood: annnnd sober now there SANOSUKE Conversing with: pretty scholar lady  SANOSUKE SANOSUKE SANOSUKE

☽»⋯⋯⋰⋱⋰❇⋱⋰⋱⋯⋯※⋯⋯⋰⋱⋰❇⋱⋰⋱⋯⋯«☾ Saul's stomach flipped as she saw the twinkle in the man's eyes... and not in a good way. Perhaps I overdid it, she thought, just barely holding onto her smile. While it was wonderful that she'd been able to recruit him without too many questions, the sorceress wondered if she'd have to come up with a different kind of lie to keep him appeased. She found herself wishing she were strong enough to collect the index by herself, but that was the very reason she was looking for it in the first place. Inconvenient didn't even begin to cover it. So, his name was Bastion. At least she'd been able to bring him out of whatever delusion he'd created for himself before he did something that might've resulted in an Elmekia Lance somewhere unpleasant. A grin that silly didn't come from nowhere, after all. "Bastion Hunt... Sadly, I cannot say I've heard it before." Saul set down her empty tea cup. It had been decent tea, just good enough to wash down the toast as it had been a little more crispy than desired. "But I'm sure I won't forget it any time soon." No matter how hard I try. "What of those two? They seem the mercenary type." She motioned to the knight and fox who had just entered. If they were as she thought they were, then they could leave sooner. And the sooner she got the index, the sooner she could ditch the enamored man and his disgusting - and ineffective - attempts at flirtation.

It was like watching a puppy eat its meal after a long day of playing. At least his manners were a little better and she made things interesting. He couldn't help but notice the man and woman at the bar looking at them from the corner of his eyes. I know she's interesting but I doubt Kela's manners are that noticable. Maybe it was his cautious nature and training talking but the swordsman couldn't help but be a little suspicious of people that watched others for too long. It usually wasn't good. Conan decided to ignore them for now and take a drink of his beer. A bit of milk and water would be nice for later but feeling a cold beer run down his throat made him feel like a million bucks again! Gods that's just what I needed! Feeling recharged again,he listened to Kela's answer to his previous question. "You-You want to hang out with me? I-I doubt that I'm going to do anything interesting but you're welcome to stay and find out! I'm just going to look for my next job and see where that takes me." He could very much well leave a girl alone until he knew she would be safe. But he was starting to suspect that Kela would be fine on her own. Oh well. Better to be safe than sorry! "I really don't know how long I could be in this town if and when I find work so if there's anything you want to see,you better let me know. Since you're only sticking around with me because you think I'm interesting,I should probably try and show you something interesting!" He couldn't help but laugh a little then. Conan couldn't remember the last time he got to roam around town with someone that he could call a friend instead of a client or something alone those lines.

If you can understand me ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ Then I can understand you ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ ↬ through black of day↬ dark of night↬ never free↱ Bastion thought things were going pretty well between him and Saul since she had yet to dump a glass of water on his head, call him a pig, and storm out of the tavern in a huff. So, the poor man was taking this as a sign that she was digging him as much as he was digging here. If only he knew that she was just using him because he was good with his spear... and not in the way that his mind wanted it to go. Sure, he liked a little roll in the hay just like the next man out there, but work comes first. Fight now, love later. I just need to take it slow with her... she seems like the fragile flower type.
Saul mention the man at the next table, the one with the short fox girl. "Him? He could be worth looking into, and as a matter of fact I will go and find out for you," he said with a silly grin and stood up. He made his way over to the other table and slammed his hand on the table next to Conan and leaned over. "Hey, I couldn't help but notice that you carry a sword with you. You any good with that weapon or is it just for show?" the red haired man inquired of his target. Up close, this man looked like he had the potential to be a swordsman, but he just wanted to make sure. And now that he was thinking about it, just asking might not be enough. He might need to spar with this young man to find out just how good he really was. Or not, he hadn't decided yet.
"Ya see, we are in need of skilled fighters to help protect that lady behind me. She's a scholar and needs to investigate some ruins in some pretty dangerous territory. If you are any good and need the money, we could use your skills." Bastion said everything with a smile on his face. He was sure anyone would take up arms with them right then and there. Who wouldn't want to help a pretty lady out in her time of need and when she was offering to compensate them for their trouble? No one in their right mind would refuse, so he was sure the young man here would join them. ↵Location: some tavern SANOSUKE Mood: flirty and adventurous SANOSUKE Conversing with: Saul then Conan SANOSUKESANOSUKESANOSUKE

The red haired man from a few tables over slammed his hand onto their table,causing the swordsman to choke a little from the sudden surprise. Forcing more beer to go down,he cleared his throat and could breath again. "For the sake of the gods,don't do that,man!" Calming down a little,Conan heard his question and let his hand move down to his sword. "It's not for show,I know how to use it. It's just a matter of what I'm using it for." Yes,he was for hire...but he still had his standards and conditions. Listening to this man explain himself,it sounded like this could have fitted his standards and conditions. An escort mission,protecting an innocent for the sake of knowledge...and the promise of being paid soon. This could work for me. Looking behind the red haired man and at the woman in need of his services, Conan thought about it for a moment. She seemed innocent enough...yes,this could work. "You have my interest. Let me talk to this woman and I'll help out anyway that I can. Kela,you want to come with me? Maybe tag along on this job?" The fox probably wasn't into the whole protection for hire scene but it didn't hurt to ask. Conan got up to walk over to Saul was and talk about the details of this job. He needed to know where he would be going with these people,what was required and what the pay was like. "I'm Conan Swiftly by the way. If we're going to be working together,it wouldn't hurt if I know your name too."

☽»⋯⋯⋰⋱⋰❇⋱⋰⋱⋯⋯※⋯⋯⋰⋱⋰❇⋱⋰⋱⋯⋯«☾ Saul hadn't expected such an... enthusiastic response to her query about the two who looked like they might be mercenaries. As soon as Bastion walked over to the table, though, she sighed heavily, letting her shy smiled disappear for a moment. The things I do for you, Master... I just hope this information is correct. I think only one mission is what I can stand from this man.Looking back to Bastion and the knightly man, Saul saw Bastion slam his hand on the table. The display made her eyebrows go up for a moment before she settled back into the curious, wide-eyed expression she had worn earlier. Unnecessary. You're very presence would alert him to you. She watched the discussion with some interest. The swordsman seemed genuine, and, from what she could hear, willing to help. Good. I don't want to continue looking for people with that constant flirting... guh.She sat up straight as the swordsman stood up. Saul began mentally preparing her "pitch" to get him to work for her as quickly as possible. Gods knew she would need someone else to talk to besides Bastion.

He had fainted outside the city and had a sword, so that obviously made him an adventurer. That's a no-brainer, isn't it? Actually... is there a brain in there? I don't think he'd like me looking. Instead, the fox girl just nodded emphatically, ignoring the steak flopping from her jaw. "Yeah, I wanna hang out. Ooh! It'd be fun if you did something interesting. You can't do magic, can you? That would be amazing!"Kela slurped down that last bit of steak and moved on to some soup that had been brought in the interim. She didn't bother with the spoon, opting to just drink it straight from the bowl. It wasn't that bad, and the fox girl had no idea where it had come from. If she'd looked around, she would've seen that the owner was laughing at the way she ate. Kela wouldn't have cared even if she had seen it. But then there was a slam on the table, and it shook her soup enough that some of it got up her nose. Ah! Pain!Kela immediately withdrew her snout from the bowl and spat the mouthful of soup she had in the direction of the man who'd shook the table. Then she proceeded to blow the remnants of soup out of her nose. That was rude! I liked that soup, too... Conan conversed with the man while the fox girl cleaned her nose, so when he turned to her, he actually had a good question. "Hm? Tag along? This is a job, right? For that lady?" She pointed at the silver-black haired lady at another table that her companion had looked at. "Let me think about that for a sec- Of course I'm coming!"The fox girl jumped on the table and mocked waving a sword around. "Adventure awaits! This is so cool. Does this make me an adventurer, too? Kela the adventurer! Yay!"

If you can understand me ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ Then I can understand you ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ ↬ through black of day↬ dark of night↬ never free↱ Bastion grinned at the mans reaction to him scaring the s**t out of him. No one had been expecting him to do that, thus why he had done it. And, as long as he was held captive by Saul's charms... stuff like this was going to be happening a lot. Bastion wasn't a quiet sort of man all the time, he did like come excitement in his daily diet of life. And he was getting terribly excited about this adventure. "I'm sorry, I'm just a little jumpy today is all, if you know what I mean," he said with a grin. "Good, we could use another sword for our little expedition. If you would follow me over to Lady Saul, we can chat and you can get the full set of details from her."
And that's when the fox girl decided she was going with them. Now, Bastion wasn't good with pegging people's ages, but this girl seemed young, like really young. Too young for her to be going with them on this little trip. There could be monsters and scary tigers who eat little fox girls. And she wanted to come along with them? This wasn't going to end well. He had a feeling that no matter what they say or do she'll insist on gong with them. Bastion stood up right, his arms crossed over his chest and he stared up at the orange flufball with his brown eyes. "It could get pretty dangerous on an adventure, little lady. I know from experience that a safe route to the market can turn pretty nasty, and this mission is supposed to be riddled with danger. You sure you want to lump all your eggs in our basket?" though it couldn't hurt to talk her out of it. I used to be just like her before the accident. But back then I wanted anything other than what I had.
With a kid tagging along on their mission, Bastion wouldn't flirt with Saul as openly as he had been. Call him crazy, but he didn't like to do that kind of stuff around kids. Just seemed kind of weird to the red haired man. There goes his dream of wooing Saul and sweeping her off her feet during this mission. He would have to stick around and wait for the next mission, with no kids of course, and then implement his plan to win her heart and her love. In his head, Bastion had everything figured out."Well, let's see what Saul has to say about everything, cause I'm not the one in charge of this mission; she is." ↵Location: some tavern SANOSUKE Mood: annnnd sober now there SANOSUKE Conversing with: pretty scholar lady SANOSUKESANOSUKESANOSUKE

He could understand being excited about something but he couldn't see what this man was excited about. Conan wasn't the kind to get his head turned around by girls...at least in the way that this fellow apparently did. Regardless,Conan followed him over to where this Lady Saul was. Pulling up a chair and sitting opposite of her,the swordsman studied this Lady Saul to get a feel for her. He usually did this to figure out what kind of questions he should ask about the job. Saul seemed like a serious kind of woman,smart too. Pretty in a strange sort of way as well. Not really important but worth noting. "So Miss Saul,I was told by your gentleman friend here that you're in need of people with certain skills for an expedition. I'm a swordsman currently looking for work and I'm willing to help. I've been trained,educated and I'm well traveled. I know how to handle myself in most dangerous situations and I can protect others in such a situation." That had to be what Saul wanted to hear. And speaking of hearing,Conan couldn't help but hear her companion trying to discourage Kela from coming along. That seemed like a bad idea. I don't think mentioning danger will do anything. If anything,it may only encourage her. She did seem like the kind where danger would only be a bonus,not a hinderance. He would jump into that later. "Miss Saul,what can you tell me about this job?"

☽»⋯⋯⋰⋱⋰❇⋱⋰⋱⋯⋯※⋯⋯⋰⋱⋰❇⋱⋰⋱⋯⋯«☾ It was odd, having someone else do the hard work for her. Saul was used to doing everything herself, only relegating work to her master's mooks when she simply didn't have enough time to do what she needed to. But that was part of the disguise; if she could fool them into thinking she was helpless, they would never suspect her true intentions. Saul watched as the fox girl jumped on the table. That's a 'yes' if I ever saw one. She'll be useful as a distraction if nothing else.Then the swordsman came over and sat opposite her. He seemed more composed than Bastion, less dramatic and more refined. And the first words out of his mouth weren't flirtatious. Thank the spirits, Saul let out a sigh of relief. I don't think I could handle another womanizer without blowing them all to hell. And she was more than capable of doing so; she just didn't want them to know it. "Indeed, I am looking for protection," the sorceress replied. "I study ancient traditions of magic, so I've managed to track down an index of ruins where such things were practiced. But where it currently is is far too dangerous for me." Saul let out a sigh, hoping to invoke sympathy in this man. "That's why I'm hiring bodyguards, to clear out the monsters long enough for me to retrieve the index. I'll compensate you for your trouble, of course."If that didn't sell him, Saul didn't know what would. "I see you know my name, but I didn't catch yours. You would be...?" She really couldn't care less what his name was; it was just polite.

To anyone watching, it probably looked like she'd gone insane. But this was pretty normal for Kela. "Take that you foul monsters!" she grinned, completely ignoring the tavern owner who was almost tearing out his hair as she tested the table's integrity in the worst way possible. "You stand no chance against the mighty Kela and her bag of tricks!" Oh! This is so exciting! Maybe I should write this stuff down. The Memoirs of Kela... I like it...It was definitely a good thing when the red-haired man pulled her back to reality with logic. Not that such things would dissuade her, of course. "Danger?" Kela cocked her head to one side. She had stopped pretending as soon as he began explaining why it wasn't a good idea for her to join them... all of which went in one ear and out the other. "I've faced danger. I laugh at it. It's my middle name!" Kela pounded her chest in bravado, none of which was false. She then jumped and scrambled onto his shoulder, sticking her nose above his eyes. "And I've never lumped eggs before. What's that like? I can gather eggs, but I don't think that's good for beating bad guys."As she was clambering about, trying to get a decent grasp on the man's clothing, Kela's hand snuck down to his belt, feeling around for his coin purse. It really wasn't her fault; she just wanted to see if she could get at it.

She didn't seem overly suspicious like some people when they met for the first time and Conan had no reason for distrusting her. If he had any idea of what her real intentions were in finding that particular index...there was no telling what he would have done. But as it was,the swordsman was all on bound for this expedition. What could have been better than an adventure for the sake of knowledge? Not to mention the pay will make it even better. Conan was already seeing this as a mission with an easy end in sight. "You can consider that index already in your possession,Lady Saul! This sounds really important to your studies and I can see how anyone would want to help. The pay will just be a little bonus!" Conan said with a smile on his face. He looked determined and excited to get started on this expedition already. "My name is Conan Swiftly. And as of now,I'm at your service! If it means anything,I don't quite know the name of your gentleman friend either." Speaking of which,it looked like he was having a little problem with Kela now. It appeared that she had taken some sort of liking or challenge up with him,climbing all over him and swiping at his belt for coin purses. "Ah! Kela! Stop that now! That's not polite!" Not to mention it looked a little...unusual. Even for her. It was weird,but it felt like Conan had already known this girl for years,instead of simply having met her this morning. That's certainly an odd feeling... Secretly,it was a nice feeling though.

☽»⋯⋯⋰⋱⋰❇⋱⋰⋱⋯⋯※⋯⋯⋰⋱⋰❇⋱⋰⋱⋯⋯«☾ Thank the gods, Saul sighed in relief. To others it might appear as if she was grateful for the extra sword, but to her, she was just exceedingly happy that this Conan wasn't anything like Bastion. Well... he still seemed taken with her, just more by the fact that she had "noble" goals. She could handle that. "Thank you so much," she said out loud. "I was fearful that no one would assist me. The Sorcerers' Guild was most unhelpful due to the archaic nature of my studies."Looking back at Bastion and the fox girl, an idea took shape in her mind. Is she... trying to pickpocket him? A thief, then. Might be useful if we encounter traps; I'll see about hiring her, too. Smiling at Conan, Saul sighed. "His name is Bastion Hunt. And, while you already know my name, I feel it only right to introduce myself. I am Saul Yi." She bowed her head slightly before raising an eyebrow and tilting her head at the red-head and the fox girl. "Is... is that fox your... traveling companion?" She tried to keep an innocent look about her; immediately asking about her aptitude with traps might lead to suspicions about what she really knew.

If you can understand me ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ Then I can understand you ┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉ ↬ through black of day↬ dark of night↬ never free↱ Bastion was glad that the other man decided to go and have a chat with Saul about joining them. He was still unsure, however, about this young fox. She was young, really young and he wasn't sure how good she would be in a fight with some crazy a** monsters. He wasn't racist (if you could call it that) against anthro creatures, so it wasn't anything having to do with the fact that she was a fox. She was just really young and Bastion was used to women trying to stay out of danger, not find it. But it would seem she had other ideas about adventuring.
She wanted to go with them.
Bastion wasn't going to be able to stop her, it was all up to Saul and whether she wanted to deal with a midget fox for their mission. "So, you've fought dangerous monsters before?" he said, getting that big brotherly tone in his voice. It was a voice he had often used with his younger brothers; Dezi, Dezso, and Altan. The 'big brother' tone was not one he used with Irene. She was like a princess and therefore never did anything bad like running away and getting into fights with badgers. If only he knew. Then, Kela jumped up on his shoulder to stare at him eye to eye. Bastion leaned his head back from her face a bit, surprise clear across his face. "Didn't your mother tell you it's rude to jump onto a strangers shoulder? What if I was a bad man? Hmmm?"
Bastion could feel her trying to swipe at something and he quickly cast his brown eyes down. She was trying to get to his belt, but why? The only good thing from his belt was his money pouch and the fact that it helped keep his pants up... wait... why would she want his belt? Was she trying to take his money? It wasn't like he had much left, maybe for one more night at the inn and that was about it really. "Hey! Stop trying to take my money! It's not like I have a whole lot left for you to really take, but I don't have a home to return to so I need that money for a place to stay," he said, getting that big brother tone again as he tried to catch the fox and pull her from his shoulder all the while trying to protect his money pouch.
If she was going with them, he was going to have to sleep with one eye open to make sure she didn't rob him of his valuables. It wasn't like he had much anyway, but still. ↵Location: some tavern SANOSUKE Mood: annnnd sober now there SANOSUKE Conversing with: pretty scholar lady SANOSUKESANOSUKESANOSUKE

Kela stopped trying to swipe at his coin purse for a moment as she just hung from his shoulder, letting her feet dangle in the air. Dangerous? Have I met any? Hm... The fox girl didn't ponder it long, though, as she grinned. "Yup! And I beat them all with a stick. Too bad it broke afterwards. I liked that stick. And if you were a bad man, I'd just bite your nose off." To drive home her point, Kela snapped her jaws playfully, showing him the rows of needle-like teeth in her mouth. Then she went back to trying to rob him blind in public, scrambling back up his shoulder to free her hands. Well, until he started protesting, at least. "Oooh... food money." She hadn't gotten anywhere near his purse by the time he noticed, so Kela just gave up on getting it. It wasn't nearly as fun if they knew what she was doing. And not having a home wasn't fun. At least Kela knew that her family was still alive and well in the Southern Continent. When Conan yelled at her, though, the fox girl grinned from ear to fluffy ear. She dropped down from Bastion's shoulder quicker than he could say "what just happened?" and scurried over to the swordsman. Breezy got the job? Yay! I think he got the job. "I stopped. That better?" Of course, she followed that statement up by jumping on his lap. "So, we're going on an adventure? Are we? Are we?"
