An empty road lead to an empty tavern, and not long after its filled with strangers. [i]I really should start rethinking my profession if my luck is going to treat me like this..[/i] The thief thought to himself. He wasn't really sure what to think, and his thoughts were interrupted at the sight of a coin purse plopping onto the counter. As he reached for it though, the Northerner slammed the flat of her hatchet into the pouch and slid it more towards her hand. Xavalzo had retracted his hand back so fast you'd think he was trying to avoid a viper's bite. He looked up at the woman across from him, her stare colder than the most frozen tundras. Xavalzo had to gulp down a lump of fear that had collected in his throat before his thoughts began to clear up again. [i]Wait.. was she really challenging a thief over money.[/i] He thought to himself, confidence slowly regaining. [i]Well then, as risky as it is, that's a game I can play...[/i]

With a smirk, the man leaned against the counter meeting the warrior's stare. He didn't say anything, but instead gave her nothing more than a wink and moved onto the next "customer" as she headed over to the hearth. [color=f7941d]"[/color][color=f7941d]Right away missy, drink coming right up."[/color] He found another mug, which looked clean enough to be used, poured another bottle into it, and slid it along the counter down to her. [i]Am I really serving drinks now?[/i]

As he did so, the conjuring mage with all his flashy magic came up with a rather [i]brilliant[/i] idea. They all should [color=9e0b0f][i][b]share[/b][/i][/color] ownership of the bar. Now Xavalzo knew all about sharing things, well more so in a one way direction, but sure he knew about it. This type of sharing wasn't particularly his fancy, especially when it came to money. [i]Although.. its not a bad idea. Would be a neat little side project, rebuilding a lonely tavern back up.[/i] The thief thought to himself. If anyone were following him or searching, he'd have a nice place to hide from them in.

[color=f7941d]"As much as i'd wish to detest splitting the profits made by [i]my tavern[/i], I think I can stomach sharing it amongst us if we all put the effort into getting this place up to  top shape again."[/color] The thief added, eyeing the Northern warrior who was warming up by the fire. His attention was quickly stolen away by the regal looking knight and his flashy spells which summoned a lumbering giant of some sort of otherworldly looking golem. [color=f7941d]"Woah.."[/color] The thief managed, slowly taking his dagger off the counter and sliding it back into his sleeve. [color=f7941d]"Yeah he looks like he could do some heavy lifting.."[/color] Xavalzo however hoped the knight would send his golem away soon. Such a big creature being inside a ruined building did make him slightly nervous, especially since they were on the edge of a mountain cliff. The short man began playing another tune, and the thief gave him a smiling nod. Instead of howling winds and muffled breezes, a nice tune was finally being carried in the air again.
