Not wanting to pry, but slightly curious, Lily watched Anthony for a moment, then cleared her throat. "So, um, what brings you here?"

Master Guan sips his tea quietly, listening to the conversation without looking like it.

"Me?" Anthony asked, resting a hand, covered in elaborate rings, against his chest to address himself. "Just passing by, really. In search of new friends and all that."

"Oh, I see. Are you a traveler then?" Lily asked, ears perking slightly as she leaned forward on the bar, watching him with wide green eyes. "Have you been to many places, or is this your first time out?"

"I've been to a lot of places, but not many around here." He explained, finishing off his wine and setting it to the side. "Originally, I was from a place called Nariak."

"Nariak." Lily murmured, testing the name on her tongue. "Is that very far? I've never heard of it... but then, my memories cover the south and west... might be in another direction."

"It's a bit away, but not unmanagable on two legs." Anthony explained, "And Nariak is located East, I believe. It's just a touch warmer than here, too."

"Hmm... maybe Arlen and I should consider wintering there from now on." Lily murmured, wrinkling her nose. "Then maybe he wouldn't get so sick..."

Anthony chuckled, "I would still recommend heading south. It's not much warmer over there." He said, folding his legs.

Guan quietly sets his empty cup down, not wanting to interrupt Lily's conversation to ask for another one.
Guan's politeness is wasted as Lily's conversation is undoubtadly interrupted by a hacking cough coming from the top of the stairs as Arlen begins his slow and careful descent.

"That is very true." Lily admitted, smiling. "Maybe the desert down that way would be better..." The coughing reached her ears, and they immediately twitched towards the stairs, eyes following. "Excuse me." she murmured to the two men, then made her way to Arlen, offering her arm.

Arlen leans aianst Lily, not having a free hand with holding a comforter around him with one and a rag for when he coughs with the other. "Sorry Lily,' he said a bit drowsily.
Guan frowned a bit as he watched Lily aid Arlen downstairs.

Anthony nodded and glanced to the stairs as well as he watched Arlen come downstairs. "Well, if you'll excuse me, I'd much like to know if there's a room available."

"Hey, it's okay." Lily murmured, wrapping her arm around his waist, offering her support. At Anthony's words, she looked up, obviously distracted. "Uh, yeah, there is. Hold on a minute, and I can get you a key." She called as she guided Arlen to a couch.

Arlen gladly sank onto the couch and curled up in the blanket, coughing again.
