Hearing the woman’s words, she couldn't help the smile that spread on her lips between her mouth and the lip of the cup. Setting the carved cup down on the bar top, she turned her body more towards her new friend. “Well I have to say it would be quite difficult really, unless you engage in it with a mortal yourself. I mean how do you intend to observe such an act unless you’re invited?” Watching Anath turn inward in that moment, her eyes shifting to her own hands.

Zafira was amused by her curiosity with this act that many species must take to give a high survival rate for their species, even Vampires of pure blood could copulate and produce offspring. Although Zafira isn’t one of those who have given life for the survivability of her kind, she found this notion amusing.

“What do you hope to accomplish learning from your observations..” With the meaning of her name spoken outward, she lifted what was left of her drink to allow it to grace her tongue and belly at last. To succeed, a victory. Yes.

Looking at the palm filled hand of Anath, she gratefully took the seeds from her new friend. Looking at them closely in her own palm, she smiled. “No need for apologies for not knowing my family name, it is very old and probably forgotten.” Turning in time to see Corbin sliding in next to her, his statement of meeting yet another vampire twice in one night. It must have been truly astonishing to him, as it wasn’t to her. Although it wasn’t that rare to her, Zafira often kept to herself on purpose. Time to time she would find fledglings from other nests, vampires turned by older vampires looking to grow families or covens.

“Thank you Anath, I appreciate the gesture. I agree, life needs death, and vice versa.. It is how the cycle continues.” Carefully placing the seeds into a small pouch tied to her side, she pulled the string closing it tightly.

Turning ever so slightly towards Corbin studying him a moment, she answered him. “I partake in rum.” She couldn’t say it had much to do with her new friend or it was just mere coincidence that Corbin had run into two other vampires this evening. Oh yes, Zafira was clearly aware of them when she had entered the tavern, but mingling with her own kind was low on her totem pole of things to do. She had always found many of her kind so archaic, and stuck in their past.

Lifting her cup to her lips once more, the fireworks presented to her by the rum touching her tongue sparked again. Moving the liquid around in her mouth carefully allowing it to touch every taste bud, she swallowed. “Anath, what brings you to a place like this? “

Carrying her drink with her, Zafira heard a woman’s voice catch her as she passed by a barstool near a man feeding a box. Pausing in midstep, she looked at the woman who had quite the energy to her, the spellbinding vibe that flowed from her was immense. It was amazing how the woman projected herself all over the tavern, holding a multitude of conversations at once.

Stepping forward to the empty barstool, the horn made cup graced the dark wood of the bar top once more. Silence stood on her face as she joined the woman who welcomed Zafira to join her, a look of contemplation sat on her face as she read the woman carefully. In all her years walking the crust of this planet, this was one of the most interesting looking beings she had come into contact with, or maybe it was simply the white rose that sprouted from her second eye.

“Thank you for your kindness, I would love to sit with you, stranger. “ In one full smooth movement Zafira had seated herself with the woman who then continued to joke that her bark was far worse than her bite. Smirking at the idiom the woman chose to use, Zafira finally brought the horn into the cool folds of her fingers. Lifting the rum to her lips was pure bliss in her mind, the touch of the dark liquid to her tongue exploded like fireworks in her mouth. The sense of taste to a vampire was unlike any other being, she could taste every ingredient put into creating the rum down to the very wood the barrel the rum fermented in.

Holding the rum a moment longer on her tongue, she finally allowed the dark liquid to fall down her throat. Setting the cup at rest on the bar top, she turned to her new found companion. “Hello, let me introduce myself, so I am not a stranger any longer. I am Zafira Hawkthorne.”

Ah! Well I tend to write a little more meat to my posts, and last night I kind of just threw all that together before going to bed. It has been many years since I've joined a classic tavern thread. And with this new character, I am feeling her out and developing her as I play her.

Zafira Hawkthorne

Standing at the bar, Zafira awaited to be greeted by the bartender. A young lad stepped forward after briefly attending to a man at the far corner of the bar, leaning into the bar she spoke carefully for him to hear her. Her voice was sultry, yet authoritative when giving him her order. “Yes, a large dark rum.” About to pull away from the bar, she remembered to end her sentence with a “Please.”

Watching the young bartender move from the bar to select a dark ceramic bottle that held a very dark rum, he pulled a cup carved from a bulls horn from a shelf just under the bar counter. While the bartender worked at his task given by Zafira, she stood against the bar looking about at the other patrons of this massively busy establishment. It appeared that the welcoming smoke of the fireplace pulled many adventurers from a day's work to come rest at its tables, its kitchens pulled families out to eat from home; and welcomed the loners to its corners for those strong drinks to contemplate life's quandaries.

To the eye of others Zafira stood a good five foot seven inches, tall for a woman of her stature, although she was athletically built her body held curves in the right places. She kept her silver-gray hair cut short, long on top, shaved on the sides and underneath. To the eye Zafira didn’t carry in weapons, although her body was dressed in leather. Leather pants held tight against her legs, boots climbing to just below her knees. The high collar of her jacket framed her angular face, black and yellow gold lace spread over the space which would give the peekers the visual of her cleavage. The shoulders of her jacket are so intricately sewn together in the pattern to give shape to shoulder armor, it appeared she was some type of warrior or someone’s general.

Finally, the bartender completed his task, sliding the horned cup in front of Zafira. Looking at the cup, she instinctively made coins appear before the boy to pay for her rum. He stood blinking a moment, as he hadn’t seen her hands move to place the payment upon the wood top of the counter. Smiling and with a nod, she took her drink from the bar top and searched for an open barstool further down the bar.

Those that have no qualms, would you like to write with me?

@Chris488

I am certainly down for some interactions with others!

I am currently writing out a follow up to my weak first post.

Zafira found herself at the tavern, the building seemed to be the hot spot for the lonely, the not so lonely; and for the adventurers looking to let out some steam. Sliding past a large man leaving the seemingly small opening to the tavern comparatively to his stature, the vampire made her way through the crowded entry way.

Pushing past the few people trying to stumble their way out of the tavern, Zafira made her way up the staircase to her left, leading to the main floor holding all the tables. Looking around at the crowded tables of laughing and hollering patrons, she turned immediately, bee-lining it to the bar. Waiting for the right moment to squeeze in between two occupied barstools, she awaited the bartender to greet her.
