The Sudden Approach of Unexplainable Power: IC

[unleashed]

“Ah, well that makes sense, I guess... though I don’t think I’ll worry too much about assessing the mood, before returning for a drink or two,” Aekalos chuckles. “So where should I meet you gentlemen when I return... or will you find me?” he asks, as he allows his eyes to roam the room.

Meriick replies, "I'll be informing the cap'ains crew of your mission. Look for us being aboard ship - although we'll likely not be there. You can leave the place of your stay with the ship's guard and the three of us will be meeting you wherever you be finding lodging when you return. You remember the name of our ship, Aekalos?"

Out of the corner of his eye, Aekalos can see the swagger of the waitress as she heads toward the table with a smile on her face.

“Indeed, the Queen Forseth is firmly planted in my mind, Merrick... no need to worry on that score,” Aekalos says, his head turning to watch the waitress approach as he asks, “So will you gentlemen heading out soon or staying a while yet?”

 

[Nonlethal Force]

"No," Merrick replies. "I imagine we'll stay around a bit longer."

 

[unleashed]

“Indeed, it does seem a pity to leave, even though the fighting is finished... though I suppose I’ll need to quit drinking and find my bed soon enough, to be fully fit for that early start I’ve spoken of,” Aekalos remarks, smiling as the waitress gets closer. “So tell me a little about the Queen Forseth, what kind of ship is she and where does she sail?”

Merrick begins to reply but notices the waitress coming back. He smiles to Aekalos and waits patiently.

"Looks like you were a winner after all, hun." The waitress smiles toward Aekalos and then looks to Tiergar. "Just give the man your ten gold." She then reaches into a pocket on the belt that snugly fits her hips. She removes two gold from the pouch and adds one to Tiergar's ten. "The odds were in your favor. Enough people bet on the upstart that the odds went to 60% Graff payoff. So you get a reward of 12 for the twenty your bet." She then kisses the last gold piece and adds it to Aekalos' pile.

Aekalos’ eyes follow her every action, his smile widening as the last coin is kissed. Taking up the kissed coin, he brings it to his own lips, before placing it carefully in a pocket and patting it, before slipping the rest of his winnings casually into a pouch.

“Well, I felt like a winner already, my lovely,” Aekalos says, grinning at the waitress as his eyes return to hers, “though a few coins coming back my way, after my poor choices earlier tonight, are certainly welcome.”

The waitress smiles, but Badrick speaks before she can. "Eh, they just want you to come back. If you never win ... you'd quit coming!"

 

[unleashed]

“Come now Badrick, I wouldn’t quit coming even if I never won... the ladies are far too lovely for that,” Aekalos says, offering a playful smile and wink to the waitress, “though I might stop betting so wildly after a while. Then I only bet what I can afford to lose and consider it lost once the bet is made... so anything I then win is a bonus,” he chuckles.

The woman leans over the table to collect what empty mugs are resting on the surface of the table. Of course, this gives all who are willing to check out her once more an opportunity. When she straightens back up she adds, "I suppose this is an appropriate place to make the gold-digging girl comment about liking a man with gold to throw around, but I'm just not that kind of girl. I'd rather say I hope you had a good time and relaxed while you all were here."
