Aira went over to Tarath, and held out her hand to help him up. She tried to be as nice as she could to strangers, and it helped a bit. She had no home anymore. Her village was gone. She didn't quite remember what had happened, but for some reason, she felt like it was her fault.

Tarath smiled drunkenly and waved his finger at Aira "Ah ah ah, you won't get me like that again. I can get myself up." He said dumbly and stood. He suddenly felt dizzy, he stumbled over by the fireplace and sat in one of the large poofy chairs that sat there.

"I won't say, 'I told you so' but well... I told you so." Elizabeth said, laughing. "Don't waste your time, Aira -is it?- and let him be the drunken fool that he is for now." she managed to stop her laughing and regain her normaliy.
"If he falls asleep, let's shave his head." she added, softly to the young woman. "It'd serve him right."

Aria nodded in responce to her name, and then shrugged, as to say *oh well.* She sat back down at the bar, and began a small conversation with Andune.
'She may be right about the monsters.' Andune told her. 'I have been smelling something strange. Best be on your guard.'
Getting her stuff, Aria went over to Elizabeth, and made the sign for *sleep* for it was late, and tomarrow she needed to find a small job to do. She was almost out of money.

((yea, sorry about that, i was gone for awhile because my computer was screwed and I couldn't pull up the sight.. I really don't have time for reading everything, so I'm just going to pretend I went to the bathroom or something... I know corny, but that's all i could think of...)) Rei was so excited. Aira communicated the way people on her planet did. She perked up, after returning from the restroom, she had discovered that a few newcomers had arrived, including the girl that had the dragon's eye on her throat. *did you teach yourself signing?* she asked. *It is the native "language" of my home planet... for some reason we never saw a reason to use our vocal cords.* she laughed. *what is your name? My name is Rei*
Darc watched from the table, fascinated by the quick hand movements that were used for communication. He was leaning back in his chair to the point where three of the chair's legs had lost its purpose. But finally, the leg gave way and he came crashing down with a loud clatter. "BWAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" He screamed automatically as he fell. He landed on his back, crushing his right wing. He got up and caressed the tip of his wing tenderly, pulling them close around him, for he was blushing from embarassment.
Rei looked up after the loud clamor. Spying Darc (sprawled out on the floor... and now getting up), she giggled and signaled for Aira to pause. She ran over to Darc who was now attempting to hide his face with his wings. *Are you alright?* she asked in sign, forgetting that she didn't have to use the hand signals any longer. Darc looked at her, puzzled. "OH! I mean, are you alright?" she asked again, this time with her vocal abilities. Darc nodded and sat down, placing his feet on the table defiantly. Rei slapped his boots off the table. "You're so rude! Why can't you just lighten up for once? You don't have to put up this tough guy act anymore. You're not on Orcoth," she snapped. She signed a few curse words at him, kind of relishing the thought that he didn't catch any of the hand signs.

Tarath watched the goings on in the tavern with little intrest, his eyes were cloudy as he had ordered yet another rum. He sat up in the chair and eyed Darc as he fell. He laughed, rather loudly actually. "Hey, that happened to me!" He said his words slightly slurred. What are you doing?! screamed a voice in Tarath's head, he winced and not knowing who it was attempted to push it out of his mind, when he was unsucsessful he slumped in the chair, speaking aloud. "What do you want..." He asked. Speak mind to mind you drunken fool. Said the voice angrily. fine, What d'you want? he asked. The voice in his head sounded crosser now. Get out of there, you're making a fool of yourself, not to mention she's coming. The voice said. Tarath didn't comprehend and shut the voice out of his head, listening to the music of the tavern.

Aria signed *my name is Aria, and I had to teach myself to sign* she smiled, and decided to stay longer. She could go with little sleep.

*interesting* Rei signed. ((just to let you know, this wasn't improvised, she seriously did use sign language... there was an intro here ssomewhere where she had landed in the forest and wasn't used to talking, she hadn't done that in forever, and she had secretely taught herself to speak in the forbidden library...)) *You teaching yourself if very similar to our native language... I've never seen anything like it. Where are you from???* she asked. This girl amused and astonished her. She felt like she was already a friend... Even though they had only talked for less than a few minutes.

The voice continued to prod it's way into his thoughts until he gave in. Fine! I'll go, just one more.. He began but was cut off. NO! She's coming! Dear god! Get out here NOW! The voice roared, Tarath flinched at the anger. Okay, I'm coming. He said and stood, his legs felt like jelly, he mannaged to wobble out the door to be met by a sinister looking figure. "Finally." The figure said, it was the voice that was intruding on his mind, a familiar voice. The figure threw back it's hood and smiled coldly at Tarath. The face was that of a woman, she looked no older than sixteen, her hair was raven in coloration and her eyes were a smoky gray, peircing. "How'd she get here so fast?" The woman asked accusingly and handed a small flask to Tarath. He sipped it hungrily and immidatly felt the effects of the rum slacken, he could walk normally now and his mind began to clear. "I don't know." He said and handed the flask back to the woman who nodded upon recieving it. "We'd better go." the woman said, Tarath nodded and followed her to the stables.

||Woah! Gone for a few days and BAM! Sorry for the late reply.||
"What is going on here?" the young woman mused to herself, being a might confused as the other two tavern guests had come into play, along with another woman she could not recognize from any time before. "Tsk, tsk." she said, shaking her brown locks absently.
"I should learn not to fall into my mind like that," she said to herself, softly so that only those who listened carefully could listen and comprehend. "One moment I'm back in my world and the next I'm stuck here, how sad. How sad, how sad!" she continued to address herself, at a normal tone of voice and volume now.
Her musings and speach directed the attention of some others, though not too many paid terrible much attention. She paced a bit about in a small area, taking surprisingly graceful steps and movements that were unnatural to all but the best of dancers.

*A small village, but it is gone now. It was destroyed a few hundred years ago, while I was still very young.* she signed. She didn't remember what had happened at all. *What about you? Where are you from? And you can speak. I'm not deaf, just mute.*

Rei sighed and blushed at the same time. She could speak, which made her feel stupid for not just speaking like she could have. She breathed in heavily and exhaled. "Yes, I can talk... Sorry, I hope I didn't offend. I just love speaking in sign because almost no one else here knows what we could be talking about. I love the whole secrecy thing," she paused hesitantly. "I'm from Athron... completely different planet, I'm afraid."
she panicked. No! Don't you DARE tell her that you're... WERE royalty. Keep your cool. Don't ruin it. She smiled uncomfortably and defiantly began to speak. "I... was....." she struggled. Her entire body wouldn't allow her to say anymore. She straightened up and decided to change the subject. "I came here on my..." she searched for the right word. Something she'd understand, anything. "Umm, well, it's quite a creature. I've had him since i was a child. His name is Sarrif, he's my... uh, guardian, if you will," she finished.
Darc relaxed, thinking everything had blown over. Then he heard Rei's musical voice and realized that she was speaking now? He scratched his arm until he decided to go over and speak. Or just observe... He couldn't decide. It was so awkward. He'd never really approached anyone before. Nobody ever acted like he even existed, unless they wanted something, then they'd beat him up until he did it. Causing him to quickly learn how to fight. After rolling it around a bit, he started to walk over to Rei. Trying to decide what he'd say... Before he even realized he was walking, he looked up and realized he was standing right in the middle of their conversation... "Heh... sorry... umm," he turned to Aria. "Hi." he smiled awkwardly. Then feeling like he'd gotten himself into something that he'd never be able to get out of easily, or smoothly the way he wanted to, he turned to Rei, who was eyeing him, shrugged, and stepped out of the way.

Aria smiled. *don't worry about it. It's good to travel. I travel because...* her expression saddened. *My village is no more. I have no home.* As she signed, she could feel an unseen weight lifting off of her heart.
'It is a good thing to tell someone who will listen. It relieves some of your burden.' Andune told Aria.

When the man and woman left a cat steaked in.Jumping up onto a chair she rubbed against the girls talking. She purred wanting to be scratched. A tag on her coller stated that her name was 'Sylvaina'.

Aria looked down at the cat, and silently giggled. She began to scratch the cat behind the ear.
