Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Now we're talking." Said the warrior with a grin, he then untied a sack of money and placed it on the table. He was looking for a good time, but with his profession, a pair of magically combining swords were something that could prove useful in the future. "Today's earnings, how's that?" he asked? Eric confirmed that it would do and brought the previous loser over to sanction the event.

The warrior took Mina's hand. "Don't think I'll go easy on you." Their arms were kept firmly on the table. The countdown was set, three...two...one...go! The warrior was surprised, Mina looked tough, but he wasn't expecting to have this much trouble with her. With a night full of weaklings, an actual challenger was exciting. Not just for him, but everyone in the bar began to crowd around to watch.

"Heh, of course I am." Said the warrior. He managed to get his hand back up to where they started. As strong as he was, he couldn't keep this up forever and there was one way that Mina could be him, stamina. It took some, nearly fifteen minutes worth of arm wrestling, but the warrior's hand finally hit the table.

"Good arm on ya, well a deal is a deal. I can make that back tomorrow anyway. I work with the town's guild. If you ever join it, look for Dolan." Said the warrior, as agreed he handed the sack of money to the winner.

Eric gave her a thumbs up as well, at the time he was playing darts for money and won his own fair amount. He used his guns as payments for his first few sets, followed by his earnings. Not only did they have money to eat, but now enough to find a place to stay for more than one night.

The two found themselves a table, ate well and enjoyed themselves at the pub, it was a rough crowd sure, but all for good reason. "Hey, Mina, you never did tell me what happend to you after they took me to the cells, did you break out on the way?"

Eric almost choked on his drink. "Wait-wait-wait, what now? You said they put something in you? I don't understand what you mean there, what else can they put in you other than someone else's child?" He asked, he almost completely missed the good and bad parts of her quick story.

"Concept, like conception?" He thought outwardly. In either case this was bad. The breeding home was not as it appeared. Monsters...that was what they were doing all this time. What would they gain in doing something like that. "Well, I guess we can only trust her word that whatever it is in you really is good. I shouldn't have been so slow, could had prevented this."

"Glad to see you're keeping positive in all of this. Just try not to eat us out of the money we earned." Eric replied, he so unsure how she kept a smile in a situation like this, but he feared it would disappear if he questioned it. In any case, he finished what he had let to eat and let out a yawn. "I hope I'm not the only one tired after this day, think we better find a an available inn, thats what they call them here right?" He asked Mina, things were a bit different here on Duon sometimes.

"You say that but I'm keeping a gun underneath my pillow." He muttered with crossed arms. He was not going to give them a chance this time incase they did come in. Eric rose from his seat, paid the bill by the bar and left the pub. The night seemed quiet enough, but thats the part that made him stay on his toes the most. "Well, the night's quiet enough, think you can find us a inn to go to? I didn't exactly get a chance to explore Duon when I touched down."

"You still have a better idea of the surrounding area than I do." Said Eric encouragingly. She got them this far, so he had no doubts in her being able to get them to simple inn. "The breeding houses weren't always like that right? Weren't they to help women who could not have children themselves?" He asked Mina.
