Welcome to Gaia! ::

It wasn't a spectacular bar. No, in fact it seemed quite plain, but it was clean and was kept that way. Absolutely spotless. It was a new place to get a drink, but there was no place that you could have a lie down after too much drink. There was a wide selection of drinks behind the bar.
Two large creatures, too big to be human, but too human to be anything else, stood in the room looking menacing. They weren't trying to, it was just default for them. Even though, the room wasn't unfriendly. It seemed to radiate warmth.
There was a single man standing behind the bar. Nobody knows his name, and he is very tolerant of people and their stupidity, as long as they leave it at the door. He was also very smart. He could tell you anything that you wanted to know, and get you just about anything that you wanted. Nobody knows his name, but you may call him Barkeep. This is his bar. He can be a very great ally, as long as you don't start trouble. And keep his secrets, secret.

Erin came into the bar. He didn't exactly know why he came into the bar. He didn't want to drink. He never drank. It made him clumsy and clumsy hands drop volatile substances on the ground where they blow up. He sat down at the bar.
"What'll you have?" asked Barkeep.
"Something that won't get me drunk, I suppose."
"Alright. Here you go. Fresh, fruit cocktail. Non-alcoholic. Enjoy."
He gripped it with his right hand. He wore gloves to hide the fact that it wasn't real. He also wore a jacket with long sleeves at all times so that it wouldn't be seen that it went so far. He had tried to make a synthetic skin once, but it rotted within a week. He didn't try them anymore. He tried his cocktail.

Jason was feeling down on himself for his reaction to the wolves and when he entered he heard the conversation going on between the barkeep and Sye, "This should be enough to compensate you for any missed customers," Jason tossed a heavy purse to the barkeep if checked it would be filled with platinum and gold pieces, "If you leave the bar to gather supplies for it during the time of our meeting I will throw in another bag as a bonus and will protect your bar should it undergo any sort of siege, not just today but anytime in the future if we can conduct business here on a regular basis." He paused and looked at the man, "We could build your reputation here in town and also each meeting will be accompanied by more purse's like that."

The Queen walks up with Chacho near her, She made sure not to leave the young one behind, there is so many nasty things hiding in the shadows around here she didnt want the young one to come across any danger. Walking into the bar she held the door for Chacho to enter, "Did we get everything squared away Jason?" She smiles and nods politetly to the barkeeper. "Hello, I am Ms. Atta. This is a lovly eatery you have, very nice." She praised the cleanseness of the place, and noticed Lilyna sitting down and smiles to her as well. She sits up on a barstool, and looked at the menu, "Might as well get food and drinks for the whole while we are here" She had a feeling that Barkeep already knew who they were mostly, and their intentions of being there. She gave him a tender smile of greetings and looks to the child now, "Now Chacho, look at the menu, and order what you disire, all of you, and please, do not worry about prices." she finished speaking to the group she came with. Atta wouldn't speak of any business until everything was squared away.

Barkeep had caught the bag in midair, his hand reaching for it before Jason had even brought it around. He then tossed it back to Jason before the knight could retract his hand. "No. I won't leave my bar. I know you won't trash it, but I'm not sure that if I leave my two guards won't do that. They have orders not to allow anyone into the bar while I'm not here, and no matter what I say now, they won't change their minds. I won't leave the bar. Besides, I don't know if you guys wouldn't be behind here cleaning me out of my drink. I can trust the queen and Miss Lilyna and even Chacho, but I have learned never to trust warriors, no matter how trustworthy they are. And the First Knight," he stared pointedly at Jason, "and the Queen's champion," he shifted the gaze to Sye, "are most notable warriors. So I can't trust you. And you won't bribe me like that again, or I will have Mungo and Jungo throw you bodily from the bar. The secrets passed here will be safe as they would be within the treasury."
He merely nodded to the wolf that came into his bar. He already recognized her for what she was, and she was probably smarter then most people he knew. He however, also knew about her ability to mind speak among other things. He didn't construct a wall around his mind, though. He had a fortress for his mind and it was always there. He never had to worry. He kept a pleasant smile on his face as she sat down. "You needn't worry about anything while you're in my bar, Alpha Lilyna. I'm not as closed minded as most."
He bowed his head in greeting to the queen as she entered into his bar. "Greetings Queen Atta. Drinks are on the house today. Oh and your warriors? Don't let them exhaust themselves trying to erect a barrier against eavesdroppers. Magic doesn't work here. Don't worry though. The walls are soundproofed and the magic listening spells won't work either. And nobody will be able to hear past Mungo once he's in front of the door."
He listened to the orders and immediately went to work providing the requested sustenance. These were the faction leaders, so he didn't spare any expense on the china or silverware. He then gave Sye and Jason their mead and a house special and then had Jungo take them farther away from the meeting.

((I'm still going to the assumption that the queen doesn't want anyone else interfering with the meeting besides herself.))

Jason's pouch landed in his hand and he withdrew the purse back into the confines of his leather cloak, "Well you are not a very good judge of character are you now?" Jason had never touched a drop of alcohol in his life nor would he start. His body ran on purity and his knighthood could only be maintained if he kept his body pure and his intentions selfless. He looked to the body guards he had for his tavern and he shrugged them off. "I also wouldn't think it wise to threaten a member of the royal court. We are not pigs and we are not cut throats like the bloodthirsty mercenaries or the immoral thieves that reside here. We are honest and pure with our intentions so let me make one thing clear. I will not tolerate being talked down upon. As we are both humans I wish that you respect me as such and I you. If we are clear on that then my duty calls." Jason wasn't an angry person but the barkeep had struck a nerve with some of his words. "It also wasn't bribery it was payment." He didn't wait for an answer and he stalked away to stand guard several feet away from his queen and he wondered how they ended up here instead of the safety of the castle, being in the city with her had put him on edge and he didn't like that they were in public dealing with negotiations.

((Barkeep runs a tight shift. This is nice for him. The drinks are on the house. What more do you want? Free information?))
Sye took his mead and went next to Jason, keeping an eye on everywhere Jason couldn't see. "Don't let him get under your skin, Jason. It's what always gets me into trouble. Not everyone can see purity in its fullness. A lot of people will see you and just think that you're just as normal as they are. Let them. They are blind to the truth. Let the ignorant be in bliss. We know the true you. You are as kind and loyal as any man could want as a friend or guardian." Sye didn't like it when Jason got angry. If Jason was angry, then who would watch Sye's temper for him?

Sye smirked. "Yeah, but you've always been better at taking words to heart. I'm not as pure as you've been." He took a deep drink of his mead, feeling the burning sensations it made as it went down his throat. "Really, it surprises me that you haven't gone to get your title changed into Paladin. You're purer then half those jokers anyway." Sye took a bite out of the daily special. He wondered what was so special about it. He took another quaff of his mead. This stuff was strong. He remained alert, but his mind had begun to get a little fuzzy. He pushed it away. "You might be smarter then me too. That stuff is potent."
