She just didnt respond as she made to walk inside next to her, her trench coat brushing against the white of her sister's. She bit the bottom of her lip and looked around hopeing none of the occupants recognized her or approached just then.. they could wait until she got a apple or something to calm her nerves. At least she hoped they could. She then looked at her sister then to check to see if she had adjusted her eyesight before walking away towards the nearest barstool and sitting down. "Can I get some service please?" Her voice rang out in a soft tone towards the barmaid.

Enios blinked. It wasn't often that they asked about the Otherside in such a straightforward manner and with such conviction either. Obviously the man knew what he was talking about and things had got a lot more interesting. "Yes." he replied bluntly. "What about it? It's no place fit for us, and I'm sure you know it." he frowned. The otherside was barren of magic, full of something they called technology that consumed nature and life and everything changed too rapidly for his tastes. He hoped the man didn't want a holiday trip there. As he was pondering this he noticed the arrival of a pair of twins that reeked of power and he almost shook his head at their lack of subtlety.

"They....have....something of mine." I said slowly, almost as if in pain. "I know OF it. Never been there, can't find a way there." I played with the lace ruffles on my wrists and hoped he wouldn't be too mule headed. I had lain myself in front of the man. My purest desires lain out on the table for him to either crush or pick up. i began again, hiding the emotion behind my words,"I just want.....to find it again."

"How could you have lost something there if you can't even cross the planes?" Enios wondered dubiously. He really, really, _really_ didn't like the Otherside, but Canabrial looked like an 'ok' guy and he really hated disappointing 'ok' guys. "It's that urgent to go there? Are you sure you lost it in _that_ place?" he spat with distaste. "It's just... I've been there..." he admitted looking away back to the twins trying to avoid eye contact with Canabrial "and I do not like the place. I suppose I could go back, but I'd prefer not to." he paused taking a big breath and looked back at the miserable looking guy. "Tell me, are you sure? I must know. I have methods of finding things if you feel it may still be here..."

"Normally I don't behave so trustingly,but you've given me no reason to hold back." I took a deep breath and leaned back in my chair. My voice rattled as I spoke. I didn't bother to hide it this time. " It's not a 'thing' it's a 'who'," I felt my voice breaking as I spoke,"I really don't think he would have left of his own free will and I've searched everywhere I could here." I gave him my most pleading look,"I wonder. You seem to have a distaste for this 'otherside' could you help me look for him here first?" I gave a quick look to the twins Enios glanced at and shook my head. I've never had twins before. "If hes not here you can go about your way and I'll go look for him 'there'." i hesitated a moment and kept talking. "I've been studying the 'otherside' for years of my life. I've been looking for years of my life and I will not give up until I die."

"Mmmmm... sometimes people are much easier to find than things.... if you let me search first here I may even help you traveling to the Otherside if nothing turns up." Enios conceded feeling somewhat sorry for the guy. He decided that Canabrial was in love in that sappy kind of way that let nothing come between two souls. He could respect that kind of feeling, not that he thought himself capable of it. "Of course, it'll take time to exhaust every possible avenue, but if you've managed until now I think you'll be able to wait a bit more to see him."

"Take your time. I, in no means, mean to rush you." It's just very hard to find help with these things. And I do hope he's ok...." My voice trailed and I changed the subject abruptly, "So, what brings you here? And what do you think those two are here for?" I motioned with my head to the two trench-coated women. "They seem even more out of place than us." I propped myself on the table and delved even further into Enios's personal business. I meant no harm by it, I was just a curios man by nature. "What was that creature peaking from your clothing?" I occupied the silence with the empty mug on the table behind us. I lifted the liquid from the mug then had it swirl a little before dropping back in to have the process repeat all over again. I hoped the owner of said mug would come back and see his ale dancing seemingly by itself. That would make my night.

Enios giggled at the dancing ale while thinking what to answer. "Mmm... well, I'm here just to pass a couple of nights while I'm in town searching for a decently paid job, I suppose. Things have been a bit too quiet recently and I'm low on funds." he admitted easily enough. "I don't know about the twins, never seen them before, but they shouldn't display themselves so obviously." he frowned. "It's bad for business and... for other things too." he admitted. "They are going to attract the wrong kind of attention with those outfits, no matter how capable they are. And for what you called 'that creature', well, I'll tell you not to call Babd that. He takes offence easily. The rest you should ask him yourself and see if he wants to tell you."
((going to sleep now, please, can we continue the conversation tomorrow? I'm really enjoying it))

(((yeah, I have to go to bed soon too)))
I let the ale drop back into the cup. Enjoying Enios's amusement. "If you want you can stay at my house. I'm just here to pass time away. I live near here. Seeing as you're short on funds you don't have to spend them here. You're helping me it's the least I can do. And I can formally introduce myself to Babd." I downed the last of my drink, "And a sfor the twins. I don't wish to be here if they do draw the wrong kind of attention."

"Well, as long as it doesn't end involving me I wouldn't mind a little bit of stand-by action, but you're right. Better safe than sorry, and besides, I'd prefer to go and save my money for another time. Wait here a bit, I'm going to pick up Babd and then I'll tell the waitress my sudden change of plans. A pity, what a waist of fresh fish..." With that Enios stood up and went quickly upstairs to his room only to find a pouting Babd chirping that he still was angry and where was his food. "Sorry, Babd. Change of plans." the imp squeaked indignantly. "Someone wants to find another someone and he's letting us stay at his home as a sort of payment while we search." Enios said placatingly. "And be nice to him, understood? I don't want another chopped finger... even if you say you don't like him!" he admonished taking the little demon, putting him back to his hood and going downstairs again to check out of his room. He was surprised (and a bit disappointed) that the twins hadn't accidentally provoked a brawl while he was upstairs. Shrugging at the thought he went directly to the waitress and informed her of his plight, or well, he at least told her a very edited revision that involved a not all that nice relative, being caught running away from home and an old friend that had decided to suddenly help him.

She so hated it when her sister's eyes adjusted so quickly to freaking light changes and hers actually gave her a little bit of a problem, but that was her lot in life she guessed as she grinned getting completely adjusted only to find that her sister had left her standing in the freaking doorway! Ariana, you never wait on me... She gave out a huff before stalking up to the bar next to her and then hitting her in the arm. Sitting on the other hand wasnt as easy as usual being it was a barstool and she really never tried to do so with her weapons on. So pushing back the trench coat she revealed the daggers on her thigh as she moved around the stool and then straddled it only to come up a bit short causing the stool to shake under her from and almost fall.

"It's not my fault you are slow..." She sighed softly being hit and then with quick reflexes reached out her hand and steadied the stool underneath her sister before looking back to the one that was serving behind the bar. "Excuse me sir..." Yes her voice raised a little bit and she looked a bit more irate. She hadnt gotten her fruit yet and the people here were already getting to her. "I need some service..."
The tender looked at her with a raised eyebrow before he moved down towards her and her sister. "How may I serve the?" He knew her and wasnt to pleased to see her around it seemed by the way he let his glance trail over her then the men who sat in the back of the room then back to her.
"Gavin, I am so not in here to start trouble today, so stop looking worried." She laughed softly before turning to see where his gaze had traveled to. He always did make her feel better with his steadied belief she was a trouble maker. Of course he was right, most of the time.

"I would rather enjoy a good brawl at the expense of those two, but if their daggres are going to fly everywhere I'd rather not have my head in here to stop one." I said amusingly to Enios. "We can wait for your fish if you'd like. I'm not in too much of a hurry." I propped my head in my hand and watched the little fellow bounce away. Maybe for once in my life (or rather a second time) things will work in my favor. "no," I chuckled to myself,"I'd rather not have a dagger in my skull before I found Aeriael." I said this lowly and wondered if there was anything nearby I could play with. I wish one of those two would order a drink. I began rubbing my fingertips on the wooden table, liking the way it felt. I felt another pang of amusement when I wondered how Enios got out of his room. These people weren't too friendly when it came to losing business,or money moreover.

Her eyes widen and then came to slits as she looked at her sister's comments before she concealed her expression and looked to Gavin. "Gavin can I get some fruit for my sister here and a water for me?"... The words that rang out from her mind to her sister were blunt but to the point You are so lieing, you know you are gonna start something.She actually smiled at Gavin very sweetly hopeing her expression would get him to move faster.
Of course he knew that he was gonna have some cleaning to do after these two left so he grumbled yet nodded as he turned to go to the back. "Richt back wit your fruit and water."
