Talon nods, silent and thoughtful at first. He was just ready to let the old drunkard lead them at this point. But after a moment he set aside the anime comments to talk about bar games. With a shake of his head, he chuckles, "I don't think I've played darts before...and probably like just one game of pool, ever." 

He shrugs, walking side by side with the fae guy, sharing his acquaintance's nervousness as they enter the alleyway. Luckily, the drunkard stopped at a door just about a third of the way down the dark side street. Makes it easier to run away if they need to. He sighs inwardly though; they were in the starting area, weren't they? They shouldn't have to run away from anything here. 

And so, he led the both of them in after the old man. Inside was pretty much what one might expect a tavern to look like. There was the fireplace in the back, the bar, tables, chairs, ruffians. Talon smiled slightly. People were a good sign here. Looking around, he counted a table of people playing some sort of dice game, five separate people, and a bartender. She, like everyone was dressed in common clothes in a darker grungey color scheme. The lighting in here was on the dark side, but with candles and light crystals scattered around. 

Curious, he reaches out to touch one such crystal. There was a gentle glow, but no heat. "Interesting..."

The drunkard looks at him and shakes his head, "What's so interesting about that? Stupid, sheltered kid don't even know about light crystals?"

"Hanson, are you hassling people again?" The bartender demands, looking up sharply from talking to the customer at the bar. The old man huffs as he walks up and takes a seat, "Don't blame me, Patty. Ye should have seen how they spoke to me..."

"Well, you don't give the best impression do you?" she smirks, sliding the man a mug of beer, "Here, I bet you conned them out of a drink didn't you?"

"I wouldn't have gotten a chance, even if I tried. They got no money."

"Oh? Well then you're lucky. I'll still let you have it on the house - but only one."

"Thanks beautiful, you're a doll..."

She grins, turning her attention to the two young adventurers, "So what business are you two looking for?"
