That strange character, Ezekiel Evans, started shouting at some people in the tavern who he was somewhat familiar with? Malakaus didn't know, but he didn't seem to be causing any trouble so he didn't bother him. Vesta, the girl he wanted to speak to, had some other arrangement she had to attend to. It likely had something to do with that explosion in the distance, which Malakaus should really go see to himself... Once he was finished with his business here. Vesta did have two of her companions, a Ms Neige and Mr Hishamie, come with him. Ms Neige was another elf and Hishamie appeared to be yet another foreign human. [i][color=firebrick]"Been getting a lot of their types recently..."[/color][/i] Soon a maid came by Malakaus's table. Removing his helmet and laying it on the table he ordered his drink: Apple Cider. To the inexperienced it gave the impression that he was a rustic, old timely taste. For anyone who actually knows what Apple Cider is, he essentially brought A stronger tasting apple juice. As Malakaus disliked the taste of alcohol, he often tried to get pass the usual teasing by ordering something that seems alcoholic. As the maid left to get his order Malakaus was approached by Ms Neige, who seemed somewhat nervous towards him. Was it because he was an orc, a knight, or just a stranger? Perhaps a combination of the three. [color=firebrick]"It's fine. I am Mr. Firebelly, though you can simply call me Malakaus. Please, take a seat, order a drink. I'll pay."[/color] There was another man as well, some stranger that Malakaus only vaguely remembered seeing outside while he was dealing with Vesta and the others. Perhaps he overheard him mentioning a quest? He was armed and armored, so perhaps he was an adventurer or mercenary. In fact, he doesn't know the elf girl either, aside that she is possibly Ms Neige. [color=firebrick]"I'm sorry, I don't think I've gotten your names. I am Malakaus Firebelly. And you are?"[/color] [@Forett][@Seirei No Hai] [hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/MR5RyzW.png[/img] [color=FORESTGREEN][b][h3]ATISHA ELUVIAN[/h3][/b][/color][/center] Atisha simply snorted. It was probably better for the both of them to confront the mad man before he got into the castle; Atisha doesn't trust the guard's competency and they'll likely only get in the way. [color=forestgreen]"He's a strange looking man, armed and armored, running across the rooftops away from a burning building. He must either be a fool or a mad man to start running towards the castle of all places. If we leave now I'm sure we can catch him while he's still on the rooftops."[/color] Without further comment Atisha left the room to go after this mad man. While she wished she had some more time to get properly equipped, she at least had her weapon. And besides that, she has always fought unarmored. Speed is armor, and now matter how powerful a blow, it could not hurt what it can't hit. It wouldn't be long before Atisha rushed out of the castle and onto the rooftops of the city below. She in fact took the same route as that thief did, hopefully showing the guards of a serious preach in security. She could see the mad man make his way towards the castle and Atisha made no efforts to hide herself either; in fact she wanted him to see her and face her. This way she could distract him long enough for reinforcements to arrive, or at least keep his destruction to one area. Pointing her partisan at the mysterious figure Atisha spoke loud and clearly. [color=forestgreen]"Halt and lay down your weapons! You are under suspicion for acts of violence against the city and it's people. Surrender peacefully and you will receive a lawful trial. Otherwise you will be treated to an immediate execution."[/color] Atisha knew she had no actual authority, but if this person was sane he would still lay down his weapons and stop anyways.
