Remus nodded. "I see. Well as long as you weren't seriously hurt. As for me I haven't really been up to much. I'm trying to get back into the swing of the single life, but that's been difficult with Raven trying to thwart my every move."

Emma shot a vicious glance at Ragdoll, and whispered something under her breath. A knockout spell.
Her gaze traveled back to Remus, piercing but not chilling. Not unless she willed it. "I don't think I'm quite clear on what happened there...would you mind enlightening me?" A part of her smiled as she asked; her loyalty had proved the stronger.

Remus was a little weirded out by Emma's gaze, as well as Ragdoll's sudden outburst of singing. At least the crazy doll was silenced by Emma's spell.
"What Ragdoll's crappy musical skills or my marital status?" Remus asked, a little confused.

"Your marital status." She replied simply, looking back at him with a level gaze. Lying would be useless, she would feel it. The Emperor was good, but not good enough to fool her.

Question walked into the tavern, smirking maliciously. "Oh, I see he already got here. Too bad. I wanted to see the show."

Arataharu's eyes fell upon the tavern. Hours of walking made for tired feet. But he were here for more than a place to rest and get himself a drink. No. He was here to claim a bounty. On the very female who was rumoured to had put one on his head. Revenge was a beautiful thing. And such a great motive, too. He used a sandal to nudge open the door, putting his scythe forward to hold it for himself. Sleeking in, his orange-y hues scanned around. Familiar faces were all about.
He held his hand out briefly, a smile on his face, "Got her," the young man chirped. It sounded so beautiful to say. Enough so he'd have to say it again, "I got her." His joy was shattered as he finally fazed back to reality. Someone was singing.
Red brows furrowed and Arataharu muttered something to himself. Some people. So showboaty. Not that Arataharu was one to talk, but he had himself a hypocritical streak. Thankfully, though, the tune died down.

Ragdoll gets up.
"Thank you..."
Ragdoll got himself a beer and sat down as he was writing down a to do list.

Remus took a drink of his coffee and then began. "Yes, as you know the Empress and I are no longer together. So, I'm searching for a new one. However, I'm going to do it myself, instead of making an Imperial decree like last time."

"I see." She nodded sagely, her eyes knowing. "I wish you luck with that, and hope that you have a shorter search than I did."

"Thanks, Emma. There is someone I'm interested in, but I'm not sure she sees me the same way."
Remus took another sip of his coffee. "Ah well. So how have you been faring in the arena?"

"Might I ask who? If I know, I may be able to help you."
She had been quite the flirt back in the day. Machiavelli could testify to that.
"Not as well as I would like. I seem to be having a bit of a losing streak."

Remus looked around, making sure nobody was listening. He nodded for Emma to come closer and he whispered in her ear. "Lieutenant Kaokie."
After that, he sat back and took another drink of his coffee. "We all get them. It's been awhile since I have had a good victory streak."

She smiled broadly at the name. "Oh, Remus, Remus, Remus..." She shook her head, a soft laugh escaping her lips. "She'll never know you fancy her unless you tell her."

"I know, but we're such good friends and I'm afraid it will ruin everything!" Remus blurted, his face turning red. He then realized how loud he was speaking and covered his mouth. Luckily nobody heard.
"Listen to me. I'm the leader of a massive nation spanning the stars and here I am acting like a schoolboy with a crush."

"And what would you say to an enchantress capable of incinerating a continent in mere moments who was pacing around her room rambling incoherently and blushing like a schoolgirl?" She giggled. "Remus, you're acting just like I did."
The memory was clear:
She turned again, pacing the length of the room for the hundredth time that night. "The stories are wrong...they're all wrong! I was told growing up that he was wicked, unkind, and consumed by power but he isn't! He's...intelligent, and witty, and kind and I don't know what's happening to me!"
