TNT - The Nameless Tavern. (Always Open)

Lavender received the dagger with a nod of thanks, ignoring the bottle that dropped to the floor and noting the dagger’s aura and how similar it was to the temple. The fox-faced woman pitied the imp and how tired it looked.

As a chilling cold swept through the tavern and the wraiths appeared, the woman frowned slightly at her now frozen wine before remembering that there was a more important thing inside the tavern as of now: the wraiths. Lavender attempted to recall if she had ever encountered such creatures before while watching the wraith’s figures move around like those ghosts described in children’s storybooks. She would turn the dagger around in her hands, silently comparing the aura of the dagger, the aura of the temple, and the aura of the wraiths and trying to decide which one was worse.

Lavender positioned the dagger in a way that suggested she was about to attack and faked drawing back her new weapon to strike a nearby wraith from behind to see what happened- something undoubtedly foolish. As if it had a pair of eyes on the back of it’s head, the wraith turned almost immediately and glared, almost like it was daring the woman to attack while somehow looking unimpressed at the same time. All while doing that, it started slowly moving menacingly close. The woman set down the dagger onto the table to shift her chair backwards a little, and really just sat there and waited to see what would happen next. Eventually it narrowed it’s glowing red eyes and drifted away.

Huh, a patient one. At least Lavender hadn’t died yet. She knew it was incredibly dumb of her to trigger such a dangerous being like that, and she understood that she wouldn’t be so lucky the next time.

Lavender pursued her lips. She really did not expect an incantation to somewhat forcefully send an imp to fetch the item, but dark magic was dark magic. It slightly reminded her of a species from a certain seven-book series.

”Yes, we…might as well.” A hint of reluctance was present in her tone. Though she lifted her fox mask again to take a sip of wine she did not relax her posture.

Lavender turns her head in such way that her mask is directly looking at the young boy for a moment, reading his body language as easily as she would a book. Seems like he didn’t really approve of the incantation.

The woman looked back to the place where she last saw the spirit looking being and the other child when she found them- well, the child at least- next to one of the two men she spotted earlier. An interesting pair. Though she was too far away to really listen into the conversation, she concluded that it would be nice to watch their interaction from afar.

(I’m not sure whether or not I should tag you two (marmalised junk and liegelord ) but I’m just gonna be staring from a corner hehe)

Lavender rose an eyebrow questioningly, even though she knew the man couldn’t see her face. Although she supposed she couldn’t blame him- when kept busy enough one tends to forget oneself’s own desires sometimes.

Fire Fox? That was a new one. Normally nicknames given to her would be a tad bit more on the offensive side. Nonetheless, Lavender accepted this nickname as a nice change from what she would be called usually.

”I would be heavily disappointed if the imp couldn’t actually bring Yin Liang here into this tavern, so I would think it would be wise to start small first and then build our way up to actual living creatures, no?” Lavender asked with a sigh. She would turn to the imp and requested something simple- a dagger.

The woman looked up and noticed the dark haired boy looking in her direction, but chose to ignore it and let him decide whether he would come over or not.

Lavender rolled her eyes at the man’s first comment. However, she was decently startled a bit when he spoke in a foreign tongue, one of which she would’ve expected a mage to have mastered, but recovered quickly nonetheless.

‘Some tricks’ seemed to be very useful tricks. An incantation to summon a shadow imp? Gosh. ”What is the limit to what this imp can fetch? If I could I would ask them to get my greatest enemy so I could burn them alive but if they are just limited to drinks I think I’ll pass.” Lavender rose an eyebrow behind the mask as she asked this, and also lifted the hand which was carrying the glass of wine to emphasise her last point.

She would continue scanning around the tavern for interesting characters, noting a being which looked much like a grey spirit of winter and a child that they were talking to. Lavender also attempted to search the crowd for the young darker hair boy she met earlier.

Lavender finally decided to look up to face the man. She took care to show no emotion in her body language but her expression would’ve told anyone she was not intimidated.

”Fine, I suppose.” She started after the man finished speaking. ”None of them are mine, heavens no. If you’re going to get me to take my mask off you could’ve done so more subtly.”

She glanced around the room, humming slightly in surprise of all the conversations she could listen into. She may have decided that there was enough drama for today, but a little bit of eavesdropping never hurt her.

it is a freeform fantasy roleplay, after all.

Lavender grimaced. Out of all the people to approach, it really had to be this guy, didn’t it? She lifted her fox mask just a little and pointedly picked up the glass of wine to take a nonchalant sip.

She watched and she waited. Though her head was not turned towards the man’s direction she was still looking at him, waiting for his next course of action.
