Open [The Rearing Stallion] Copper Linings (Artur)

[Anders]

"Oh! Yes! My name is Anders," he smiled warmly, appreciatively, but also somewhat stiffly as he gratefully sat down with them. "And I appreciate your generosity." He maintained a smile through the quick nod of his head toward Solin and Hadyn.

As he sat, Solin stood and approached the bear. "It appears that he's going to pick up where I left off..." Anders chuckled as he twisted his body around to follow Solin with his eyes. After a moment or two of watching Solin address the very slowly waking stranger, Anders finished his laugh in full and turned back around.

"I naturally assumed that you two already knew each other but it appears that we are all strangers here, together, tonight," he began, addressing Hadyn. "So I'm curious, what is it that brings you out to the Rearing Stallion for the company of complete strangers, tonight?" he asked her.

"Myself, I am simply breaking up some monotony. I've been very wrapped up in my work, lately. It's nice to get out and talk to some actual, living beings for once." I am in a bit of a need for the company of a few jovial patrons of the Stallion, tonight. Too much of a predictable routine is bad for the soul, do you know what I mean?"

[Solin]

The large man slowly lifted head and mutter with confusion in his voice. Solin gave the large man a smirk and motioned with his hand to the mug of beer. The drowsy man asked if he was OK with him sharing his drink and Solin smiled and said softly, “Yes, I am trying to save the world. Aren't I?” He knew he might be over playing the joke, but it didn't matter to him now. He was committed to his bad comedy. Even if it made him look like a fool. The kelvic watched as the large man as he examined the frothy drink. The man took a drink, and Solin couldn't help himself from smiling and chuckling at his surprise. The large man seemed to react to the beer like a first time drinker, and he confirmed it by the end of his rant. Solin laughed out and said to man, “It supposed to taste like piss in the beginning friend, but over a night of drinking it, the alcohol will numb your tongue and bitter taste of it of the brew will slowly fade away. Also some beers taste better than others, but in the end, they all kind of taste like liquid bread.” Solin stood up and motioned the other two to the table and introduced them, “My name is Solin Valhir, and I am a hunter, and I am known across the Bronze Woods as Scourge of the Bunnies.” He smiled at Haydn and introduced her to the large man, “This lovely lady is Haydn, and the dark haired fellow who tried to wake you earlier is named Anders.”

Solin knew he might be over doing it, but after the last hunting trip, he needed a to let loose and relax. The woman named Hadyn seemed friendly enough, and Ander seemed to be eager to get to enough the other people around him. Solin just wanted to drink, kick his feet back, and forget about the world around him. Ander seemed to be in conversation with Hadyn, so he didn't want to disturbed the two. He sat back down in his chair and poured himself a mug of ale. Solin lifted his beer to his lips and took a small drink of the yellowish brown liquid. The kelvic put the mug on the table and said with a smile, “I do have to agree with you today the beer is quite bitter ” He looked at the large man and asked with a smile, “Sorry, I hope I wasn't to rude there, but I wanted to ask your name?" Solin took another small drink of his beer waiting for the large man to answer.
