"I'm telling ya! you better be clearing off our turf before noon otherwise I'm gonna be slugging ya one!"
"YOUR turf?? How the hell this this become your turf? How about you guys clear off OUR turf before I slug YOU one!"
It was quite a intimidating scene in Nakadrak . A group of people had amassed outside a bounty hunter tavern. It was obvious there were two sides present. In the middle a tall man with dark red hair kept in a low ponytail had his arms folded and a look of displeasure. Opposite him stood a much older man, not as tall and sporting a small beard with white hair. Next to them stood two very different creatures; A very large toad who kept croaking his annoyance, and a Black bull who was the size of a large horse.
These two weren't the ones who were talking. On the sides the men were shouting insults and various threats, while a blond haired girl and her sandy haired friend where throwing their own insults back. The kulgenki were also joining in on the slinging match; However the boys falcon was busy trying to keep the kitten from fighting the various animals that were next to them.
Poke was also next to her friends, trying to come up with her own retorts. Varun stood behind her, his wings unfolded and looking very menacing to the opposing group, and probably half the reason why they hadn't charged. That didn't give the the advantage; the bull kelgenki looked just as scary..

Roja had only recently returned to Nanadrak. It was nice to be home. He was normally traveling elsewhere updating maps and guiding people as an explorer. Roja Normally liked coming to the bounty hunter tavern since they always had the most up to date information. It tended to cost a lot in drinks but the information was always current. While approaching the place he noticed the crowd formed in front of the building. Did they get back into town on a bad day or something? He simply did not keep track of the politics of groups outside of his own.
When the kudu came closer the intent of the crowd become clearer. He carefully approached some of the less aggressive looking people towards the edge of the crowd. "Hey, whats going on here?"
Sentry was out and standing close to his humakin. The posturing and bickering of the other kulgenki left him uneasy. It felt like the fighting might become more than words soon.

It wasn't too often that Blade would stop by the tavern where the bounty hunters hung out. After all, considering his trade, he had been chased after once or twice before. Maybe not by these hunters in particular, but just in general.
But that day, as he passed by the place, he heard quite a ruckus from outside. It didn't sound like an average barfight, so it was quite a curiosity. From behind, Maelthra peered over his shoulder and towards the building.
"What do you think is going on in there?" asked the dragon.
"Beats me," the human replied with a shrug. They heard yelling, but it was hard to tell what was being said exactly. With a frown, he glanced up at his Kulgenki before approaching the tavern and eventually stepping inside. Now that he was closer, he had a better idea of the argument here; it sounded like there was a turf war going on.
Maelthra, being taller than his human, managed to spot a familiar blue dragon across the room interestingly enough. It seemed that Poke was involved with this somehow.
"Seems like there's some territory issues..." muttered Blade, overhearing someone asking what was going on. He didn't have much of an idea himself, so that was all he had to offer. But putting it that way made it sound more like gang warfare than anything else.

two men in the back looked behind when two people had asked them what was going on. They looked at them as if they were nuts
"Must be travelers" One said.
" The Shadow reapers are trying to take over the The Nameless guild's area. They say they're a danger to Nakadrak's safety, because they don't kill of their bounty to prevent people from finding out our location, and the nameless guild is saying the Shadow reapers are to ruthless in their methods." They then both turned around to watch the fight some more.
"Your too soft Morgan" Jameth finally spoke up, his hand in the air to silence his colleges. "A bounty hunter is not a sheriff. They do not gallivant around the town and keep the peace by arresting criminals. Do you have any idea of how many of these people are from other nations?!. It is vital we keep the location of Nakadrak a secret, but it wont stay secret for long once the people you arrest get out.
"Last time I checked, we were not a executioner service either" Morgan replied back in a calm but rather annoyed manner. "Our job is to bring in people who have a bounty on their heads, then receive pay for them. We have no dealings in what happens to the people after that. And in the vast majority of the cases they are supposed to be brought back alive!"
"There are still cases that require the death of the bounty, and in which case you neglect to preform that duty, and you then put everyone at risk by but finishing them off!"
"Please point out a time when this has happened, because I do not remember posting up any bounties that have required the skills of a assassin"
"I believe this would be the case for anyone that proves to be a threat to Nakadrak" Jameth replied coldly. "Anyone who threatened to reveal it's location"
"We're bounty hunters, not assassins!" poke snapped at the man. "As long as we bring the bounty back in then we don't need to kill them! we just can't go off'ing all our bounties because of the slight chance they're another countries spy!"
"you guys are just a bunch of weaklings who are afraid to taste blood!" a random man shouted out. Another man on the opposite side shouted back saying " We're been here much longer then you, you have no right to kick us out!" The shouting began again on both sides, Sounding a little louder this time. The bull kulgenki started to stomp his hooves on the ground, waving his head around and showing off his massive curved horns. Varun quickly moved closer to poke and zoe, Lowing his head and hissing a warning at the bull to stay back, showing off his razor sharp teeth.

Despite the fact that this was not his fight Roja decided to stay and watch the crowd. He was becoming concerned that if the fighting does
Sentry crackled with a bit of errant energy and growled. This looked like it was about to get ugly, why were they staying? "We should get out of here... Come back later once they aren't nearly so... busy."
Roja scoffed at his friend's suggestion. "They are bounty hunters, not ruffians. How they deal with competition and disagreements reflects how they will deal with bystanders while perusing a target." If Roja couldn't go get a drink then he felt he should at lest watch the show. He had occasionally needed to place a bounty so this was somewhat interesting to him.

The explanation given was simple enough. Though what had caught his attention more was the fact that Poke was apparently on one of the sides. Blade hadn't quite been aware that she was a bounty hunter until now. One thing for certain, he'd have to be careful around her in the future.
With somewhat of a grimace, he glanced at the metallic looking wolf before looking back towards the argument. This wasn't his fight by any means, so he just stood back and watched for the time being. Quite frankly he thought that there were times were killing someone was the better option.
---
The havoc over at the tavern was causing quite a stir. After catching wind of trouble, a blue eagle came soaring about to investigate further. Thriz didn't enter the tavern, but listened in as much as he could to get a feel of what was going on. Once he had enough, he relayed the information to his Humakin while staying put to keep an eye (or ear in this case) on things. If things got too out of hand, he'll have to intervene before his companion arrived.

While varun was surveying the opposite group for weakness and signs of a approaching attack, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that blade, and another Humankin he was not familiar with, were watching the groups argue against one another.
Poke, I hate to distract you but your friend is here
Huh? Poke looked around the tavern and realized that he was indeed in the tavern. She coughed uncomfortably and looked back to Jameth. She had neglected to tell blade about her profession, either because she didn't see the point or it had slipped her mind. At any rate she didn't have time to talk to him now.
"Our conditions are simple. You either combine your guild with ours, or you cease to operate" Jameth stated, raising his voice so he could be heard over the opposing roar.
"And Our conditions are even more so" Morgan replied. "You stay out of our business, and we'll stay out of yours"
"Things are starting to get a bit to heated..." Jake Looked around worriedly, keeping close to zoe who had picked up her kitten to keep her out of harms way. "If a fight broke out in the tavern..."
"not only would people get hurt, but the tavern might be...."
Zoe said as well.
"I'm more worried about our friends, not this tavern" Morgan overheard them talk and decided to add his own opinion in. "Just stay back and let me handle this"
"If you wish to settle this without anyone getting hurt, then perhaps you should agree to our demands?" Jameth asked with a small hint of a smirk to his words.
"I'm not about to give into blackmail" Morgan replied coldly.
