Hylar We live to fight...Dorune looked around to the serving girls and looked at the one walking towards them. Before she came to close, he announced his order of two ales quickly which was unlike this semi-flirtatious man. He then turned and looked at Zachary and stared into his eyes for a moment, sizing up his spirit from what he could see. He smiled slightly and leaned back in his chair, "I am gathering a group of sorts to participate in the expedition commencing on the morrow. You look like one that could handle himself in a sticky situation and could watch someones back well and I was wondering if you might be interested in joining," Dorune finished. He then looked and saw the serving girl coming up with their ales.We fight to die. Zachary took his beverage gratefully and took a long swig before replying. He then said, "What's this expidition all about?" He certainly wasn't denying that he could handle himself, but he was somewhat hesitant about joining a mysterious expidition.

Dorune looked at Zachary oddly and then spoke slowly, "The expedition? The one to the borders of Ashran? Surely you have heard? Why else would you be in Alinia? Have you not noticed the incredible amounts of travelers here in Arrad?" Dorune shook his head slightly and handed a few coins over to the serving girl and took his drink to his lips. He then stopped and looked back at the serving girl and grinned. She grinned back at him and he beckoned her down and whispered to her. She nodded and he pressed a few more coins into her hand.
We fight to die.

"Of course i've noticed the amount of travellers," said Luke, "but I hadn't heard anything of an expedition. The only reason I'm here is because I'm a wanderer; I go from place to place. This town, however, had a strange, sort of magnetic pull to it. I just had to come here. And now I know why." He took another swig of ale.

[Didn't we talk about the whole..."quoting bothers Hylar" thing?]
Dorune shook his head, a chuckle escaping him. "Alright, if you say so. I don't see how the word can not reach someone," he then raised his drink to his lips and drank easily half of it in one swig. He set it down with a slight sigh, his eyes closed for a moment. He leaned forward, his hair falling in his face and said, "The world is holding its breath for what happens in Ashran," Dorune said depressingly and pushed the hair out of his face, the light catching in his bright blue eyes, "Mark my words." The serving girl then came back over and whispered something to Dorune and then grinned at him. Dorune smiled back and whispered, "Thank you, miss."
We fight to die.

Zachary's brow furrowed at this cryptic remark, and at the serving girl's strange behavior. "What do you mean?" Zachary asked, not bothering to ask what the girl had whispered.

Dorune shook his head and said, "Its not important, Zachary. What is important is that we will be leaving on the morrow for unexplored lands together. Fate has chosen it to be so," he looked around at the people, his eyes noting that the man who had been face down on the table was now gone and said, "we need sleep for our venture. The inn was full, but I have arranged for us to have the rooms of another for a small fee and..." he grinned, "A short visit to a certain serving girl tonight."
We fight to die.

"If you say so..." Zachary said, leaning back and a wide smile spread across his face.
"So, you basically just hired yourself a prostitute?" he asked, barely able to keep the laughter from his voice; pathetic man, he thought.

Dorune laughed at the man's statement, "I guess you could say that if you wished, but only if there is time. I may have it slip my mind," Dorune laughed again and took a sip of his ale and smiled at Zachary, "Even if I did, it got you a room, so don't think think of me as pathetic or anything. I am sacrificing myself for you," Dorune barely contained his grin, "I think I am going to enjoy this trip, Zachary. We'll make a good..." Dorune stopped and looked up at the white haired man now standing over them; the same man from earlier who was face down on his table. "Can I help you, sir?" Dorune asked.
We fight to die.

Zachary shook his head at the man with a smile plastered on his face.
"I think I'll be alright without a quick lay," he said. "I can fend for myself." Zachary looked over at the man as Dorune directed his attention to him.

Salyf looked out of the window of her room. It showed a crowd of people on a market street, with vendors calling prices, and children playing games. She smiled sadly at herself, but quickly shook the old memories away. Sighing, she left the inn room, careful to lock and hid the key, and went down to the bar.

Time looked down at the two men and looked from one to the other. He looked at Dorune as he addressed him and said, "Yes you can and I can help you. First you must know, Dorune, that one more of your party is in this inn. She will join you shortly. I will also be traveling with you for a short while, but know that we will be leaving within the hour." Time looked at Zachary, "It is very nice to make your acquaintance, Zachary Leonus. My master has much respect for you, also." Time sat down at the table and took a drink of an ale that seemed to appear from no where.
We fight to die.

Zachary stared from the man, mouth agape, to the stairs as a young lady descended from the upstairs inn, back to the old man.
"How do you know my name?" he asked. "Who are you?"

'A brawl?' Salyf thought as she heard the party of three. She sat at a counter seat and ordered mulled wine. She first thought of the fine weaponry they carried, but dismissed the thought. It was too risky to get, and probably not worth it without her gang. 'Not that they're mine. Anymore, that is.' She thought, bemused.

"I know many things you cannot comprehend, Zachary Leonus, but as for who I am," he laughed lightly, "I am known by many names, but my most commonly known name is Time. If you have heard of me, no, I am not a myth. I am fully real."
Dorune looked at the man, his eyes narrowed. He thought about this for a moment, The Omen Man? Here? Why? He could not find an answer to any of these questions inside of his mind, but did not speak them aloud either. He looked over to the stairs at the woman who had descended and sighed. That must be her, he thought and then looked back to Time. "Well, Omen Man, you bring her over. You're the one in charge," Dorune said neutrally.
We fight to die.
