Chres ate his meal quietly as people started gathering around the bar area. It was starting to get rather crowded with quite a few interesting looking characters. A courier, a man in armor, another man eating some Quail, and.... a noble? In a place like this? Maybe he's a poor noble, Chres figured.
Sil was back in her fairy form, fluttering in front of Chres's face. Head tilted to the side with her right index finger on her lip. Something appeared to have caught her attention. Chres raised an eyebrow questioningly and glanced at what she was looking at. Oh, the nobleman's Familiar.
What is that? Sil asked in wonder.
I want to say it's... yup! It's a dog. Definitely a dog. It almost looks like a cat, but cats are teeny tiny. So it's definitely not a cat! Hehe, I'm so smart. Sil nodded to herself, smiling happily.
Chres put his hand over his mouth and gave Sil a look.
Sil... really? He said with his thoughts. It would be weird if he starting talking out loud in front of all these people. He had a familiar yes, but it still felt weird to him when he spoke out loud in front of people nearby.
Sil turned her head at Chres and smiled.
Really what?Sil... it's a Familiar.It's a familiar with what?Chres removed his hand from his face, arched an eyebrow and stared at her flatly.
Was... was that a joke?A... joke? She asked, cocking her head as she did so.
Aaaaaaaand facepalm. Chres shook his head and sighed.
Your innocence never ceases to amaze me, Sil.And your big nose never ceases to amaze me! She said giggling and turning her attention back to the other Familiar.
I'm going toooooo... There was a short pause. Chres tilted his head expectantly. Wondering if she was planning on finishing that senten-
poke it. -Ah. There we go. Sil flew off to go poke the poor Familiar.
Chres didn't bother to watch. He turned his attention back to the three men and their game, took another sip of flavored water from his flask and then got up out of his seat. In the back of his mind he could hear Sil's giggles and her childishly voice saying,
Poke. Poke. Poke. each time she poked the noble's familiar. Chres paid her no attention as he approached the three men, walking as if drunk.
Chres purposefully bumped into one of the three men, knocking the man's drink into his lap. The man jumped out of his seat, his pants soaking wet. The other two men stopped their game and stared at Chres.
"Watch where you're walking! Drunken fool...""Drunk?" Chres said, slurring the word on purpose. Chres slowly looked up at the man doing his best to look out of it. He then looked down at the man's pants and chuckled.
"Aaaaaahhhh, I see. That's why you peed yourself." Chres laughed out loud and grabbed the mug of ale from one of the man's companions. Chres raised the mug to his lips.
S'pose it doesn't matter anyway. You already smelled god awful. The man's companions began to rise from their chairs as Chres took a sip of the ale, cringed, and then spat it back out to his right. The man, whose drink Chres just stole, got sprayed in the face. He responded reasonably though. Chres got punched in the face.
"Hey!" That was the innkeeper. Probably not too happy to have a fight break out in his place of business.
The three men began to approach Chres.
Chres! The punch had sent him backwards, against a nearby wall.
You forgot to stick out your tongue at them! One of the men took out a knife. Chres smiled slightly at the sight of it. His death has been long overdue.
Also Chres, I believe their pants are still on. Chres closed his eyes in acceptance as the man raised his knife to strike.
