Derek watched as Casi was swallowed up into the sea of humans, barely hearing her as she waved them goodbye. She was most likely eager to do some exploring, and probably some stealing now that she was back in a city once again. He started off for the dragon's inn. Named so after the first earth dragon: Drakne. It wasn't the most popular, but they had good food and nice beds to sleep in; and one of the nice things about it was that no one knows where it is unless you have been there before. It was about fifteen minutes from the city entrance, on one of the side streets that can't be found if you don't know where to look. He looked up at the sign over the door, which had a great tan colored dragon spilling fire from his mouth.The door itself was decorated with intricate carvings, that created five creatures of myth: a dragon, pheonix gryphon, a Skybax, however the rest was faded with old age and he couldn't tell what the other two were. He turned the doornob, the door swung inward on oiled hinges, as he stepped across the threshold. Immediately, his nose picked up a multitude of smells coming from the many table that scattered the large circular room. His eyes gazed over as humans and scaleys talked, the soft rush of noise having sort of a calming effect.(scaleys: basicly raptors that can talk. It is a slang term used. their race are called carnasours) ) To the left he could see the stairs that led up to the bed rooms. On the back wall, right in the center was the bar, which was loaded with shelves filled with bottles of drinks that could make you drunk within two sips. He found an empty table and sat down in a chair that faced the door. All he had to do now was wait for Hatori. He wondered what the lizard has been doing all these years, most likely eating people..he never understood why he didn't just ask first before making threats, but there was no questioning how much info he got when he threatened people. He ordered a glass of water and a shot of dacvern(which is kind of beer with a firey spice). He stared down at the wood table and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, all the while listening to the others conversations hoping to catch any new information about what was going on.
