Ian smiled and laughed, "Give us some time, and we'll figure it out," he bit into a piece of bread that he hadn't touched. Pandora whispered into Ian's ear and smiled at him, Ian in return smiled and adjusted his seat once again. Ian got up as Pandora did so along side him.

"I am sorry Mr. Kokabiel, we must be off, we'll consider your offer," Ian placed a few dollars on the bar and the two left, the Catina door swinging a bit before it closed.

I'm sorry, but I need to get some affairs in my life in order, I'll be bringing another character in once I can organize myself better

Cathy waved after the duo as they leave. "Goodbye now. Remember, if you ever want to come back to the Cantina, it's only a doorway away!"

[Side Room]

Finn was still listening to the music.

"Why were you running?" asked Xavier. "I've had to run a few times. They ended an awful lot with me jumping off the tops of tall buildings; but you can do that with wings." He shrugged, opening and closing the wings in question.

"Did you need to run through open country, or was it raining or something? It kinda seems that way to me, but... I don't know, most of my chasing is mostly done through cities."

William finally stops and puts the lid on the piano so he can turn around and lean back while he eats cookies with Cyrus.

"So," Cyrus says to Finn, "You look like one of the few people here that won't scare me to death. What's your name?"

[Side Room—Finn]

Finn was slightly surprised when the pianist's friend addressed him. He subconsciously scooted back in the booth, before easing up and regaining his inner composer. At least he wasn't being a stampering mess that purposely tripped to avoid a conversation.

He lifted his hand to rub the back of his hand, his goofy smile widening. "It's Finn. That's nice music. There was passion between the notes." He realized his speech was still a bit clipped. He got to stop doing that. "If you don't mind saying, w-what world do you come from?"

Saliha drew back as Xavier flared his wings, eyes going wide, plainly impressed. She felt a small flutter in her belly- a strange feeling, one that wasn’t altogether unpleasant. It wasn’t one she thought she had ever felt before. Strange. She curiously poked her tummy with a slender finger. “I think I’m hungry...”

Then she snapped back to Xavier, noticing she hadn’t actually responded to him. “It rains a lot, yes. And that wets the dirt which makes mud.” She lifted a filth-caked arm as if to demonstrate. "I'm worth money, so mercenaries chase me." She continued, glaring once again in Wesley's direction.

"I'm from Fliegen. William's from the Republic of Geier, though."

William turns back to the piano, stuffs another cookie in his mouth, and plays the anthem of the republic, a solemn march. Cyrus joins Finn in the booth. "He likes things quiet when he plays, you see. Where are you from?"

"The bar sells anything," said Xavier, poking a finger toward it, "and takes any money. Yes, it sells anything. My brother was here once, and ordered something that doesn't exist in our world. You could probably get raw bison if you wanted."

He had noticed the look in Saliha's eyes as he opened his wings. He wasn't sure what he thought about it; sure, interspecies romances were a big no-no, but she wasn't that far from a chimera. Stick on some wings, make her a little bit taller, and there you go.

Even if he didn't feel the same back, at least her feelings didn't make him squirm now.

“… Really?!” Her face lit up, or something like it. Then it fell again. “I- I don’t have any money…” She scuffed her foot against the floor, frustrated. Looking away, a low, miserable growl rose up from her throat. This had the side-effect of exposing the back of her neck and the tones muscles that stretched vertically down it to Xavier.

Samuel took a momentary step back; the military-grade hardening built into him meant it mostly wasn't getting through. Just a little, picked up by the nervous system enhancements, filtered as junk data mostly.

"Hold on! I'm not sure what you think that's accomplishing but," threat level over threshold according to the enhancements and the Jacket snapped back into existence, cutting off the send, "it's not working."

"Here, I've got some." Xavier dug into his pocket and pulled out several bills. "Don't worry about paying me back, Vincent said he was paying me for this anyway, and I've got plenty of money even without that." He held it out to her. "Take it."

Kokabiel was drawn to Saliha's complaints of lack of money like a moth to a flame. He walked up to her, a large gold made by no Earthly civilization in his hands, and said, "I'll pay for you, for the price of a single story." Then he realized Vincent had beaten him to it, and gave a weary sigh. "No matter." Then, to both Saliha and Vincent, he said, "still, I find myself once again alone. May I sit here?"

Kiora propped the guitar back on its stand and hopped off the stage, giving a quick wave of thanks at William. She slid into the booth with Finn and Cyrus, jumping into the conversation.

"Your friend's a pretty good player," she said. "Wish my keyboardist was so versatile."

She stretched and slumped in her seat. "Feels good to be human again."

"Yes, very good, for someone who taught himself for so long. You should have seen him when he finally picked up a theory book. He was all, 'The hell is this shit? I already know how to play!'" Cyrus chuckles.

Samuel's sudden disappearance made Lafayette jump and cry out. Things weren't supposed to suddenly flash out of existence like that! Even Lafayette could understand that — until he saw, that Samuel was still right there, standing there, in his ghostly form.

"Uhn..." Full, actual human words were so much more difficult now. His physical brain may have been structured to be able to interpret them, but still, they felt foreign. So foreign... "Uhn..."

And the thing that had disappeared... it had disappeared... this was very sad...

Wesley sat up, taking his crossed feet down off of the stool he was resting them on. Pulling himself back up to the table, he said to Xavier, “Forget it. I’ll let her buy off my money, for your sake. Don’t worry about it. You get something for yourself- unless you insist on buying something for the lady…” He was grinning from ear to ear, giving the impression that Xavier wouldn’t be hearing the end of this for quite a while. Oh yes, Wesley thought. This encounter right here would provide ammunition for decades worth of chiding.

Saliha was downright amazed. A generous mercenary? Now she’d seen everything. She looked to Xavier, in wonder of what decision he would make. Would he want to pay himself? And what would she take that to mean?

[Side Room—Finn]

"I don't recognize those countries." Finn said as Cyrus took the seat across of him. "But the world I'm on is called Earth." How should he word this? "I lived most of my life by Oxford University, but I'm staying as an exchange student in Memphis, Tennessee, United States." He started to mumble during those last words. "Does those names sound familiar? We may live on alternate versions of our worlds."

Due to fading connections, I'll probably get off after a few posts.

"Well, if you want to give her money, go ahead," said Xavier. "I've got no problem with it. Just as long as she gets something to eat."

He turned to the man who had just sat down. "If it's a story you want, I'll give it to you, free of charge. I've got a bunch, but it all depends on what kind you want. Of course, I can't remember them all equally. Give me a moment..." He gathered his memories and thought for a second. "Okay, do you want to hear about the one that emulates a slasher movie or Die Hard in an ancient alien doomsday device?"

Kokabiel had nothing to lose by passing the Saliha a single coin — he had accumulated plenty as a side effect of his usual business — and slid it to her. Then his eyes widened with genuine interest, and he said, "ancient alien doomsday device? My. That... yes, that may relevant to my interests. Please, do enlighten me."

Good night for now, though.

"Fifteen," Finn said. He looked on the young end of his age, considering his petite frame. "I was supposed to stay for only one semester but...stuff happened." He didn't feel comfortable enough to explain about all the bandages under his clothes, his recently-removed cast, Oxford and Memphis Guilds, and Bryan.

Night.

Samuel shook his head, slowly. "It...whatever it was, didn't work. And since nobody jumped in to stop you I assume it wasn't meant to hurt."

Return to eye contact, if that had meaning; Samuel hoped it did. "What was it that you saw?" No immediate response, so an extra question. "Why was it important?"

Saliha ordered up a T-bone steak the instant the words left Xavier’s mouth, though not without a slight measure of disappointment. When it arrived, she lifted the thick, medium rare slab of meat by three fingers into her mouth which snapped shut around it. After a few moments of vigorous chewing, she spat out a chunk of bone and swallowed. The meal traveled visibly down her esophagus in several smaller pieces, stretching her thin throat as it passed down to fill her stomach.

She sat back in her chair, sated, her tongue hanging out one side of her mouth. She looked to Xavier, but he had begun speaking with somebody else. Huh. At least that somebody had slipped her a coin, which she didn't recognize as any type of worldly currency. It wasn't old Empire gold, but it was a metal coin. Hm. Strange.

"I'm twenty-one," Kiora said. "Doesn't feel much different from eighteen, to be honest."


At the bar, Kohana turned to the boy who'd ordered mead. "So," she said, taking a fresh sip from her wine glass. "Any reason in particular why your companion is so enthralled by my companion?"

She did have to vaguely wonder what constituted 'violence' in the Cantina, in case she didn't lime the boy's answer.
