Sharn Tavern: The Tower's Shard

[Kaodi]

Looking from the newcomer to the dwarf, the blue-haired man cannot help but think . o O ( I knew I should of stayed in New Cyre. )

He raises his hand slightly, into a kind of crooked wave, and says, " Nice to meet you too. "

 

[Drowned Hero]

The man replies, " I think I will leave them to it. I can afford to wait awhile until the next employer comes along. "

He turns when the door swings open, seeing the dingy looking dwarf. " Besides, I prefer to get to know people a little before I go gallavanting off into danger with them. " he says, taking his drink after Brews sets it on the counter in front of him. " How much do I owe you for the drink? And is it really as famous as the gentleman here seems to think? "

He sips from the mug before tilting it back to take a swig, then sets it back down on the counter with a thud.

"My name is Kenn." the man rasps, then sneezes twice, shivering.
"Absinthe, please. With hot water."

He raises his hand slightly, into a kind of crooked wave, and says, " Nice to meet you too. "

Khuther looks at the changeling or he thought he was one as he had a strange looking pale skin and and even stranger hair 'hey mate, so you think this is the best place to get a job, right?' 'i've heard Sharn Tavern was the place to do so. This place is quite famous up the mountains.' Khuther sees as a human enters the Inn 'This cloak is soaked! I should get a new one, but this on i got from a second cuisin after one of his trading trips to New Cyre' He snapps with his fingers and the cloak is untied from his neck and the claoth starts to squeeze the water out of it, returning to him when it was pracicaly dry 'nice to have some tricks sometimes' 'Khuther. Khuther Khyber is the name lads'

Brew brings Kenn the absinthe, face more expressionless than normal.
After the absinthe comes the absinthe glass, a sugar bowl, a slotted spoon, and a steaming beaker of hot water.
Kenn's eyes gleam with desperate avidity. The lower bulb of the glass he fills with absinthe, stopping periodically to sneeze. The spoon balances atop the glass.
He shakes the sugar bowl, looking for a smallish lump. The search is interrupted by a violent coughing fit that wracks his entire frame.
Finally he plucks a lump out of the bowl and drops it into the bowl of the spoon.
After a final hacking cough, he slowly pours the hot water over the sugar until the glass is filled and clouded.

Kenn leans over the steaming drink and inhales the fumes desperately, like medicine.
"Aahhh."

Half the glass vanishes at a single draft. Kenn shudders for a moment at the taste, then relaxes and breathes easily. Looking over at the blue-haired man, he smiles wearily and raises his glass in a pledge.
"To your very good health, sir. Or at least better than mine. Kenn Allyard."

The blue-haired man could of sworn he had properly pigmented his skin, but that was besides the point. He eyes Khuther suspiciously, and says, " Are you sure it is the wisest thing to do to advertise a name such as ' Khyber ' ? That will set many on edge, rightly so. "

He then looks to Kenn, and raises his mug slightly. " I guess now that I have the advantage of all of you, I shall introduce myself. I am Veyk. "

Kenn laughs darkly. "Think how edgy you'd be if he kept it secret and you found out?"

He then looks to Kenn, and raises his mug slightly. " I guess now that I have the advantage of all of you, I shall introduce myself. I am Veyk. "[/QUOTE]

"Veyk? The name sounds familiar, but I don't recognize the face. Are you looking for work too?

ooc: [sblock] What is it with the name? Its just a random name i made.... I looked it up on goggl, and its the name of a pass between pakistan and Afghanistan[/sblock]

 

[Kaodi]

Veyk nods, replying, " Yes, I am looking for work. I feel most comfortable working alone, however. But if you think you recognize my name, someone else must share it, because unless you too are a changeling, then you shall have never seen my other face with this name. "

He tips back his mug of McGuffin and swallows the last drop. Glancing at Kenn, he inquires, " So, what do you do when you are not sitting around waiting for someone to need you? "

[sblock]It is, coincidently, also the name of "The Dragon Below," the 'Underdark' so to speak, and a god revered by evil cultists.[/sblock]

Kenn finishes his first glass of absinthe and sets about preparing another.
"I'm a sort of inquisitive: I've a knack for hearing lies on the tongue, and that paid my way in Cyre."
He sips his absinthe slowly.
"I hope it will here, too."

[sblock=ooc]Accidentally naming yourself Khyber in Eberron is sort of akin to accidentally naming yourself Smaug, Asmodeus or Cthulu in other fictions. A humerous coincidence, but if you keep the name it's bound to get a reaction.[/sblock]
