A beauty meets another giant. (Aleksi)

[Titus]

Spring 56th, 513 AV- The Sharp Tongue Pub

Titus groaned, gulping down his ale. He let out a long line of swears before leaning back in his chair stareing at the roof. He was ticked at his latest fights, he knew he could do better. He looked down at the now half empty mug and finished it off with one loud, satisfying gulp. He sighed and looked around. No one interesting was here, except a few barmaids who were decent on the eyes. "Maybe... I should get a friend" he said with a slight smile. "Calm myself down then get to some serious training" he laughed to himself. He let out a sigh and his mind faded out, he remebered his fight with the giant. How he couldnt land a hit, how the giant man-handled him all over the warfield. His fist tightened in anger, before he snapped back to reality and his hands slowly started to relaxe. "Im so bored... Maybe I should travel" he said to himself as he closed his eyes.

[Aleksi]

That was an interesting couple of days, Aleksi thought to herself before heading to the place where she could hear the most noise from. It had to be a bar of some sort. As soon as she opened the door, she could see that she was right. A cloud of smoke and unpleasant scents hit her on her way in. Ahhh, that's the life, she thought and then turned around towards the door, nodding at the large cat and her Strider to stay put. It was crowded in there, but not many interesting faces for her to notice. After all, she knew only one person in this city and she was not sure she wanted to meet any more at that point in time. Looking about for the closest table with less than five men around it, she frowned. Only ONE was there, and well... with her usual luck, another giant was sitting there, and he didn't seem very pleased. Rolling her eyes at the thought of her last, first meeting with one of those, she mumbled What is this, a city of giants? before heading that way. Her fingers moved up to adjust her leather top and move the bag off of her shoulder. Eyes made their way to the man there and she spoke, quietly, clearly not looking for much of an answer Mind if I sit down? I can't be bothered with more than one at a time...

[Titus]

Titus had started drifting into a half-drunken sleepy state, when he heard a voice. He opened his eyes, to see a beautiful women standing there. He chuckled abit, before sitting up straight and nodding. "Feel free" he said as he reached for his mug only to notice that it was empty. He grumbled a bit before ordering another one, then he looked back to the women. "Would you like a drink?" he said in a booming voice that seemed to echo around the place. He yawned and streched out his massive arms, then went to readjust his studded leather armor. "Petching crap cost more then its worth" he mumbled before he finally got it.

[Aleksi]

Aleksi forced somewhat of a smile as she heard the man speak. Oh well, here we go again, she thought to herself as he sat up straight and clearly was ready to begin a conversation. When he asked about a drink, she nodded and added in a calm, somewhat high-pitched voice The strongest thing you've got around, I certainly need it Ans she did need it. After all, she was quite bruised up, sleepy and dearly missing both hunting and riding her Strider. Then again, she has had so much fun in this city so far, that it was slightly overwhelming. She didn't say much more after ordering a drink, but she just looked at the man stretch his huge form.... well, huge compared to her... He seemed almost as big as Xi... Shaking her head, she frowned and just mumbled The name's Aleksi

[Titus]

Titus raised his hand, bringing a barmaid over, and order her a drink. "Titus" he said, he looked at her body for a second before looking away. He coughed and leaned back in his chair. The barmaid brought over the drinks and set them on the table. Titus nodded tipping her and she walked away. "So why is such a... pretty girl like you doing in Nyka?" he asked looking down at the drinks. "I mean, you're obivously not from here" he mumbled taking a swig of the ale. He placed the mug back down, resting his arm on the table. He looked her in the eyes, sensing something diffrent that he couldnt put his finger on.

[Aleksi]

She nodded at the barmaid and took the mug in her hand. Not even bothering to look anywhere near feminine, she took a gulp of the drink before frowning at it. And they call this strong, she mumbled before letting her light green eyes go to the man sitting across from her. Rolling her shoulders back a bit, hearing the bones crackle and muscles relax, she added quietly I am from Endrykas... and am looking for a friend. His comments nearly made her sick. Complimenting her like that without having any idea of who she was, was something she was used to at home and hated every bit of it.. And I thought this place couldn't get any more strange... this one is far worse so far, she thought to herself and somewhat hoped that this encounter would fix itself before her urge to slam him with the mug she is holding turned into reality

[Titus]

"The only thing strong here is the monks, the mercenary gi- women and that bloody giant" he said. He finished the second mug with ease, and sighed leaning against the table. He cracked his neck and each of his fingers. "Edrykas eh..." he said looking back up at her. "And this friend is in Nyka?" he asked not really interested. His mind bouncing between a few diffrent topics. He looked around the bar, waiting for the girl to reply and for maybe something interesting to happen. His shoulders and back ached, He stood up to streach them out and ordered another ale before sitting back down.

[Aleksi]

Aleksi listened to what he was hearing only with half of her potential while finishing the drink. After he finished the first sentence though, she couldn't but notice the giant he mentioned. Almost giggling, she remembered Xi again and mumbled, just before ordering another ale. Well, you are not little yourself.... who is this giant you speak of? And monks? Warrior women? This is getting more interesting by the second, she finished her sentence with a deep sigh. Her eyes followed the man's movements, still being a tad wary with everything being so crowded in there. She didn't seem to want to speak of the subject that made her come to Nyka. It was personal, painful and it made her react in a way she didn't want to, around strangers, so she just mumbled quietly Not that I know of, she was taken away...

[Titus]

"If I knew the awnser I would tell you. All I can say is the bloody giant, is bigger then me with fist that feel like they've been incased in steel" he said. "Pechting giant" he added, before letting out a long sigh. "The monks are sort of the peacekeepers of the city, if you want to call them that. They are great fighters, and the women was interesting." he said before the barmaid brought his ale. There was a long pause before he looked at her face and said "I am sorry about your friend. I havent heard anything about anyone being taken here. But I havent really had my fingers on the pulse of the city". He felt kind of bad for her, which was like him. He shook his head and began drinking the ale.

[Aleksi]

Aleksi giggled as she heard him describe the so called giant. All that came to her mind, was the man that she had met as soon as she came into town. Shrugging lightly, she picked up the new mug that was just put on her desk and added Did that giant by any chance have blue eyes and a black beard? She then just nodded as the answer to the last topic. Doing her best not to allow her eyes to tear up, she gulped down quite a bit of ale. If she continued at that rate, someone would have to carry her to the room, especially since all she could think about now, was the Kelvic and the misery she must be going through... After all, she had just escaped the slavers before she met Aleksi... and Aleksi swore to her that she'd keep her safe...
