The Pig's Foot Tavern [Friendly chat is where its at]

"Why? Well.......Because you need my help, don't you?" He said trying to giver her his softest smile in order to ease her somewhat . He was amused when that crack on the ground caused her to tighten her grip on his hand to stop herself from tripping and somehow blush 'Heh, she looks pretty cute like that' He thought as they slowly made there way, he didn't want to rush her or anything " Listen, I don't truly want to pry but if you want....... you can tell me about the reason you can't sleep when you're ready" He said. Once they arrived, they were met with inquisitive eyes 'My goodness, I certainly should have expected this' He thought as they returned to the table they originally sat at . Pulling back a chair, he gently motioned for her to sit while he himself would sit soon after.

Anas mind roamed on why she was letting this guy touch her hand, how much of the day was left and if it would be a good idea to dart away. Shaking that idea off, she didn't want to cause him more trouble than was necessary, after all he did pay for food and just kicked some thugs butt for her. While she was walking with him, she tried to keep as a far away distance as she could while still being able to glance up at him with an incredibly stubborn or annoyed look on her face. The blush was still there from the embarresement of tripping over a stupid little fault in the street. Listening to him, she didn't reply; only chose to look around her, watching for anything or anyone whom may recognize her and presume shes in trouble or think she needs to have more trouble.

Did she need his help? At that moment she had, slowly she began to blame him for her panic attack and attempt of suicide. It was a childish thought but if he hadn't of bugged her then she wouldn't have panicked! No, no, no, it was completely my fault thinking somewhat ashamedly. She had fallen into that mindset again of the hungry, paranoid little theif. Habits that had developed over the course of a year had stuck hard and fast in her personality, frequently forgetting a certain somebody was looking out for her already, usually when she was running like bloody heck away from people. For once in her life, she really was at a loss of what to do, they had entered the tavern again and he had taken his seat. Ana only got a glimpse of everyones eyes and wished to be in a corner, or better yet under a rock for her stupidity and embarresement.

Sitting in the chair he motioned to, she decided she should do some explaining, if not a little "nightmares," muttering lightly. It was such a stupid reason, but she had no other way of describing her hellish sleeping patterns. Not only did they make her scared to sleep, but it pointed out the things that could happen to her, death, death, death, death, and more death "that's all I'm saying."

Kreig looked her intently, noting her obvious emotions ' She's really really really easy to read' He thought as he took his seat. She looked angry, ashamed and all the other not-so-little things he noted earlier today. His eyes perked up when she said nightmares 'Nightmares? well that would explain her tired looks, still.....are they really so horrible to prevent her from wanting sleep" He thought, then circled his eyes around the bar, it seems the patrons lost interest in their situation and returned to simple pleasure of their food and drink 'I hope, for this girl's sake'

Crossing her arms and slouching in the chair with her foot doing a little up and down jig, Ana was fully intent on staying awake. His quiet, facial inquisitive response surprised her, making her wary that he was planning something as he scanned the room. I'm going to have to run for real soon.. Ana thought to herself dryly, how long would this man take up her time? Though she had all the time in the world right now, well till night fall that is she'd stay a bit longer but she'd refuse to speak any more on the matter as it made her feel a bit ill. Those amber colored eyes began to water a bit, her breathing a little heavier than usual, the images of the nightmares were very much alive in her memory.

Shaking her head to get rid of the thoughts, it wasn't a good time to dwell on them nor was it ever to think of them. Looking back to him, composure regained "don't give me that look" her voice chilled lightly "I said I'm not saying anything more" and she really meant it. Kreig would have to beat the living daylights out of her to make her spill an ounce more, knowing this would not be the case after of having beat the thug up before.

Then it hit her, patting her clothes lightly around her without trying to be noticable. She'd lost the petching purse! Eyes glancing down under the table, it was gone, gone, gone, gone! Nowheres to be seen! Mood hitting the dumps, it certainly was her luck, she could be saved from a thug but she couldn't keep her hands on petching money or goods for long.

"I wasn't giving you look, I was giving everyone else a look" he said quietly as he rested his head on his hand, looking around once more " Do remember we hadn't exactly left quietly, so far they seem to have lost interest" he said looking at her calmly " And as much as I realiy wish to inquire further, I'll respect your wishes "

He noticed how quickly she got depressed as she searched near frantically for something' what? did she lose her coin purse or something along the lines?' He raised an eyebrow as he rested his head on the table now 'well, anyway, she's pretty adamant about not letting me help her. Guess I should let her leave, though I think its best for her to stay' He looked at her , now slightly depressed himself and sighed "If you want to leave now,leave...."

Anas face flushed and the purse was forgotten once again, he was right and she was snapping at him for no good reason, she couldn't help that though her nightmares put her on edge. He had just fed and protected her, what does she go and do? She treats him like crap and that, that made her feel sick as she just started realizing her aditude wasn't something she should defend. She only hoped he wouldn't retaliate on her, or maybe a retaliation would have put her in her place? It didn't matter, Kreigs aditude seemed to slump with hers and that worried her to a certain point. Did I cause that? Looking down, crossing her arms and feeling bad about it she wondered what she could do.

Then it popped in her head, face brightening at the prospect of fixing what she did but then cringed at his words replying in a small voice "sorry, I just.." she just had a hard time trusting people she had just met. Ana couldn't help feeling bad about her actions however "I'm just paranoid," inhaling deeply she remained quiet for a few minutes before letting out a sigh, she was tired, eyes scanning the room before her and then back down to Kreigs head "we can meet again here, if you want?" Standing up, she wasn't specific with how much time would pass before they would meet again but she wanted to see if he actually did care, she would situate herself in a hiding spot during the morning to watch the tavern.

If he returned and kept returning after 3 days, then she'd open a bit up to him about the nightmares but if he didn't end up doing what she silently wished he would do, well syanara 'ol Kreig. Simple as that, it was a strange way for her to believe something but it was a small start. "Seeya Kreig, I really do hope I see you again.." turning and walking out before he could stop her, Ana made her way back to the slums while taking extra precaution of how stealthy she was being, she would not make the same mistake of believing the real world was apart of her nightmares and then throw herself into danger again (well she would try, sometimes the real world seemed to be like her nightmares.)

"I hope to see you too" he said with a sudden smile as she quickly left, the concept of helping her quite appealing to the brawlers heart "This should be entertaining he said" As he sat around. This girl indeed seemed to need quite a lot, and while he might not be able to help her completely with some issues, he wanted to be someone whom she can rely on to listen about her worries and the like 'I do like to listen' He thought as he looked around the tavern some more, receiving some quick glances now and then 'Their quick gazes is tempting me to crush them ' So far none of them seemed to left to follow his new friend, which comforted Kreig somewhat as he kept glancing at the door and back to the Tavern goers " Hopefully these gents know whats good for them...." Since Kreig was quite the frequent goes to this join, he was certain some of them knew somewhat of his combat prowess and had no doubt he'd meet his new friend again.
