"Old habits die hard," Seno said as he seperated another rib from the rack. He was chewing a mouthful before he noticed how Mishika was eating, with a knife and work. The fact that he was eating with his hands made his suddenly self-concious. He put the rib down and wiped his hands on the napkin before attempting to spear the rib with his fork. "You know, you invite me here, buy me a drink and dinner, and it occurs to me...we haven't introduced ourselves. The name's Seno.

She paused, blinking, and then broke out into a warm laugh. Her laugh was a little louder than even she expected, and she calmly resumed her stature. "My name is Mishika - Mishika Tsumei, it's nice to, well, know your name as well," she said before taking the last sip of her wine, and making a gesture to the bar to bring another.
She wiped her mouth with her napkin, and placed it back down on her lap. She fidgeted to herself, feeling like she was being too formal, but it was partly because of how she grew up... She shook those memories away and continued her meal, feeling slightly more comfortable with the situation. She thought for a moment before commenting, "I was never much with fighting face to face, I had always majored in magick," but she slightly grinned to herself, "But I keep myself prepared for the worst."

The waitress smiled at Leonor. "Assassin.. good good.." She looked around to make sure that noone nearby was listening, before moving closer to Leonor and whispering. "I be the captain aboard the Jaded Scabbard.. I'm sure you know what business I do.. And if ye don't ye must have been livin' in a rum barrel fer a good part of yer life.. Ahm in need of a few new crew members.. seeing as though a good deal of em' got killed in the Battle of Aziraphale.. and by scurvy.. The pay is good.. but twould be better if we could discuss this elsewhere.. this is really not the place to be talkin' of such things.." the waitress paused, and picked up on a conversation going on just behind her. She turned her head and spotted a couple - a man and a woman - sitting at a table in the middle of the room. She scowled, and excused herself from Leonor. She casually sauntered over to the couple, and gave them a dazzling smile. "Would ye like a bit o' grog te go with yer meals? Surely ye wouldn't refuse would ye.. Mah uncle Elryon over there makes the best ale ye'll ever find, and t'would be a cardinal sin not to try some.."

"Hmm..." she smiled, "well, you are right, I've been going here for years, and it is the best. Bring a cup for my friend here, please," she placed a gold coin on the table. "And me, another glass of that wine."

She thought on the lady's words...come to think of it...she needed some good money. Meybe she would take that job...it would really help her right now. She watched her as she walked to the table. Her name...Audrey Thatch, right? The captain's daughter? Yeah, that was it...it would make a lot of money. Yeah, she would take that job, and love it.

"You know," Seno said finishing the last of his previous order of alchohal. "In five minutes your going to have a full sailor on your hands. After the next round of drinks come, I'll give you fifteen more minutes before you have a drunk sailor on your hands." He leaned back in his chair shifting to let his right arm rest on the chair's back. "Now depending what else ya got planned for me after this meal, that could be a good thing or a bad thing."

"Oh, then you might as well tell me where you live now..." and she coyly smirked, "So I can drop you off, so you don't cause any trouble after you're drunk," she finished off, rather proudly. "I dont tolerate groping of any kind, for any reason, so no matter how sloshed you become, you may serve a fate worse than those men earlier" she warned, but as friendly as she could... and gave a smile.

The waitress nodded, and silently picked up the gold peice and slipped it into her apron pocket. As she passed, she gave Leonor a wink as if to say 'welcome aboard then.. ' She filled up two glasses. One Ale mug full of the best ale in the tavern, and a glass of a fine La Luna Red 87'. She picked them up, and carefully brought them to the table at which the couple were sitting. "There ye are.. An ale, and a wine.. Enjoy yer drinks friends..." She smiled and left to join her new friend standing at the bar.
"Well.. is there anything I kin get fer ye..? Mead? A red? Perhaps some sherry might interest ye?"

Leonor looked at Audrey.
"Give me whatever you like. It doesn't matter," she said. "Give me something you think someone like me would want. I'll eat almost anything..."

Fekt... Seno said inwardly. "I can understand that, but what I don't get is why you dragged me here in the first place."

"Drag you? Hardly. I invited you as a guest. You didn't even have to show up," she took a sip of the wine and smiled at it, contently, "Besides, I'm grateful you came, I was looking for some information about the S.E.A. Corps anyway, and if you'd like to share anything else that might be of use, I'd appreciate it," she placed her glass down and took her few last bites of her dinner, musing to herself.

A 20 year old "human" with wings approaches Mishika and Seno, holding a small pile of scrolls. He has a quarterstaff tied to his belt, as well as a case with quill scrolls and inkwells in it. "Pardon me, but would you like to buy a heroic tale of gallantry and adventure?" After a pause he continues, "It's only two gold coins..." He is obviously not from around here.

Mishika blinked at him blankly and took a look at the scrolls. "Those... are... " she grabbed one and looked at it. "Made by you, aren't they?" she didn't look impressed at the penmanship. She looked him up and down and made a weary note of his wings. "Who are you? And WHERE are you from? I've never seen you around here before... and if you knew how business was truely delt around here, you woulda knocked us both unconscious by now" she rolled the scroll up and placed it along with his pile. "Take a seat and order a drink, if you'd like"

"My name's Jerrit, and I'm peddling books. Odd though, not many here seem to appreciate them, for reason I can't fathom." He sat down in the offered chair. "As for knocking you tweo unconcious, that's bad business. The two of you could easily have beaten me up, and besides which, you couldn't read my books if you're unconcious. As for a drink..." He takes a small pouch and dumpd it out on the table, revealing his vast amount of money: about ten gold coins. OOC: (No, he has no idea that someone might take it, anymore than he knows how dangerous it could be to advertise that he isn't good at fighting.) "I really don't have enough money for a drink, unless you mean water. I'm not from aropund here, though people here seem so... unfriendly. Not meaning either of you of course, just... the general atmosphere. I'm never going to sell much literature here. Do any of you have any idea where I could find a job? I'll give you one of my books if you do..."

Seno grumbled inwardly. Obviously she didn't invite me to all this to sleep with me...guess the word drag was too strong...anyhow now this bookworm shows up...wonderful
"Job? There's plenty of jobs in this port. You can mug people, sell things, get paid for being someone's pillow at night," Seno said downing another shot of alchohal. He let out a almost feral grin. "Or you could join the Corp put on some muscle n' crack a few skulls." He flashed his tatoo of the S.E.A Corp insignia on his upper arm.
