[The Rearing Stallion] First Time in The Tavern (open) .

[Taryn]

Taverns-- Taryn didn't understand them all too well, but that was coming from a creature that only ate clay. They were loud and crowded, and often contained drunken, bumbling men whose feet fell quite awkwardly. Not exactly the safest place for a young man of his stature, but the thrill was why he came here. It was a deadly game of tag, avoiding the footfalls of drunken giants.

Things were beginning to get difficult, though. The crowd was getting a bit too randy, and it was becoming more challenging for Taryn not to get stepped on. With a huff, Taryn picked up the tails of his long scarf, so that they wouldn't get stepped on, and looked around sharply for a table that wasn't crowded with plastered humans. He spied a particular table of about three or four men, all of whom seemed to have their wits about them and were calmly conversing. That was the table at which Taryn would seek reffuge.

Taryn took off running, dodging clumsy footfalls as he went. He narrowly avoided the barmaid's hurried steps as she left Taryn's intended table and beelined for another table of drunken men. Taryn made the final sprint to the table, pausing beside one of the chairs. It was far too high for him so climb, and there were no decent handholds or footholds.

"Excuse me?" Taryn shouted, hopping up so as to draw the attention of one of the men, "Excuse me, mind if I join as well?"

[Poku]

"...Need... clay... so... hungry..." came a faint voice among the noisy ruckus of the 'Rearing Stallion'. The little Pycon girl stumbled her way through the dim and danky tavern, it was the first stop she had made since her week long travel to the city of Syliras. Some of the local folk gave Poku a long, curious stare as she waddled along before returning to their drinks and talk of nonsense.

All the tables seemed noisy and full of activity except for at the far end of the room. Not really having a plan in mind she slumped over toward the corner of the bar, perhaps they had some sort of spare clay on them? As Puko approached the table she could make out three human men and what appeared to be another Pycon such as herself sat around and coversing with one another. Without hesitation the little clay girl began to climb up the leg of the table and pushed herself up on to the top. There she collapsed face first on the center of the table with only enough energy to say two words, "...need... clay...".

[Elmoch]

Elmoch was listening quietly, but started laughing out loud after Nate was done talking. "Nothing guilty about me. I know what I see in their eyes," he interrupted his speech to grab the new mug of ale from the barmaid who had just arrived, and then, after a sip he proceeded, "I know that they believe I'm a trouble-maker. Maybe it's just because of the way I dress, or maybe it's because I don't trust their authoritarian grasp the same way that you do." He gazed deep into Nathaniel's eyes, as if challenging him.

He then, after a moment, turned his sight to Hidaki. "Hey, man, you're a bit quiet there, aren't you?" he asked with a kind smile, "What do you think about the knights? Don't you think they're overly authoritarian? You've got to pick a side."

"Excuse me?" Elmoch heard and looked at the newly arrived Pycon. He seemed a bit surprised, as he had never seen a Pycon before. "Well...sure!" he said, with a large smile, pulling a new chair for the clay-like man to sit, and offering his right hand as means of transporting the Pycon to the chair. Regardless of whether the Pycon chose to accept his gesture or not, he would later approach his face to the small man to take a closer look. "Well, not to be rude, but...what are you?" he asked. He then saw the other Pycon arriving, and this one seemed rather weak. She was mumbling something about clay. "Clay...? What do you need clay for?"

[Hidaki Kono]

Not paying attention as he watched Elmoch and Nate talk, Hidaki nodded his head at Taryn when he asked if he could join them. He enjoyed havening people over but didn't really know when there were too many people at one spot. He had hoped that maybe some one would bring over a table to put with this one to make more room for every one. He had also hoped that every one would get along, although he wouldn't mind jumping into a tavern fist fight.

He then looked puzzled when Elmoch asked him that question. "I cant really answer that question cause i have only been in this town for a day," he said to Elmoch. He never payed much mind to the guards or knew what some looked like.

Hidaki also looked at the Pycon when it appeared on the table. He had also wondered this strange thing was , but didn't wish to ask. He then looked at Elmoch saying "well why don't we give it some clay and find out?" He reached into his back, and pulled out a a clay shaped coin. The clay coined looked weathered and had some markings on it that looked like words, but are now unreadable to any one. He didn't mind parting with it so he placed it right in front of the Pycon.

[Llewelyn]

OOCNo offense to any of your characters, mines just has a hate for humans. Your PCs are just to cute to not rp with! :3

A weathered looking man sat and watched them with distaste. He sneered at them openly, 'Petching humans and their silly conversations'. Many of the humans acquired a snicker at the awkwardness they were displaying towards each other and the verbal jousting ("mine's bigger" sort of thing). Though it was obvious there was to be no fight for this place had little to no brawls, he couldn't help but hope for a disagreement of some sort to liven things up. His eyes kept flitting back to a group of three men, the oldest no more than 35. They seemed to not know each other but still acted friendly. Humans could be strange.

He took a bite of his apple and sighed. 'Were there no places free of these vermin?' The benshira man ordered his 4th mug of ale meanwhile drinking deeply from his 3rd. Fruit and ale, could it get any better? Well it could if these all filthy mongrels would get out of here.

Meanwhile scowling he noticed a small clay figure enter the bar. It seemed to be struggling along and heading right towards the men he'd noticed. Worried what such an ignorant breed would do to such a precious creature he stood up and swerved over to them. The pycon was picked up and sat on the chair beside the older man. While all this was happening, a SECOND pycon climbed up and collapsed right on the table in front of them all. In his drunken stupor he waddled over and put his hand on the table to steady himself, a little harder than he had intended.

[Poku]

As the little Pycon girl lay flat on her stomach, arms and legs stretched out as if something dead she would hear one of the three men ask why she needed clay. "...I ..." Little did these humans know that clay was a Pycon's source of food and water, without clay they would become weak and eventually turn to stone.

Before Poku could finish her sentence one of the humans placed a clay shaped coin right in front of the Pycon. First she sniffed it, then out came a little clay tongue to lick it, with all the remaining strength Poku had left she pulled herself toward the clay coin and stuffed the whole thing in her mouth.

The Pycon looked rather comical as she chewed on the clay coin as the mass of it caused her mouth and cheeks to stretch out, with one big gulp the coin was lost forever. There was a moment of silence from Poku but then suddenly she was alive and up on her feet. "Thank you, you haved saved my life! My name is Poku and I am in your debt good Sir!" She would announce excitedly toward the human that gave her the clay.

[Nathaniel]

Nathaniel watched as the little Pycon girl suddenly became full of life again and smiled, happy to see that she was okay. "Poku is a cute name for such a pretty girl. However, i must still ask in all my ignorance... why did you need clay?"

Just as he asked this he felt Llewelyn's hand hit the table hard and he jumped. "Are you out of your mind!" but when he saw that the man was drunken he simply sighed and pulled up a chair. "At least sit down so you'll look less foolish"

[Hidaki Kono]

Hidaki shook his head a Poku after she said she had a debt to repay to him." It is alright it I am glad that you are feeling better." He was happy to see poku was alright, but was still curious why see needed clay. Sence Nate had already asked the question he only waited for her to respond to Nate. When Llew soaked his his hand on the table Hidaki didn't was alittle surprised at hearing a sudden slam. Be he could say anything tough Nate ended up confronting him. So Hidaki didn't need to say anything further in that sitituation.

[Poku]

The little Pycon would giggle slightly as the younger of the three human men praised her which was then later followed by the previous question 'why did you need clay?' Poku brushed the dirt from her body and stood up straight in the middle of the wooden table before making a speech, "As you may or may not know I am a Pycon, for a Pycon clay for us is what you humans would refer to as food or wate-" Her sentence was suddenly cut off as a man came and slammed his hand down on the table causing it to shake a little. Poku looked up at the slightly drunken looking individual, ...was it something I said...?

[Llewelyn]

Llewelyn coughed slightly and blinked. 'Me? Foolish, these petching humans..' Before he could cause trouble he blurted, "What the hell, why not?" He sat down slowly as to not make another disturbance. The benshira man stared around the table at the confused faces. Unsure of what to say he waved for another mug of ale.

An awkward silence seemed to be about him. After wiping froth from his mouth he motioned for whatever it is these veil humans were discussing to continue. "No need to stop on my account." He sent a silent pray to Leth he wasn't so drunk that they had no idea what he was saying. Nervously, he took out a banana and began eating it.
