Fit Shaced

Wrapping an arm around Benkei's shoulder, Ulric began to lead his old friend back to the table where he and Gerhart had been sitting. As his Knight approached, Gerhart quickly and awkwardly sheathed Macht before standing Ulric's chair back up and pulling one out Benkei before quietly positioning himself behind Ulric's seat.

Sitting back down with an audible -clank- of his armor, Ulric pulled Gerhart in close so he could quickly whisper into his ear "We're not in the monastery right now, so you can relax, lad."

As Gerhart sat down, Ulric gestured to him and said "My squire, Gerhart Von Messer. An upstanding example of what the Order represents, if a bit stubborn at times."

DRINKING SONGS

"Well, that hasn't changed. Glad to see the Order of Siegfried still chooses the most bullheaded of the lot." The smile on Benkei's face showed that he meant no malice to the ribbing.

The cask was plonked right next to them and Benkei filled the accompanying mugs liberally. It was no secret that the huge Vacu warrior could sink whole barges of alcohol and still fight like a legend the morning after. Normally an abstinent man, the fact that one of his oldest friends was in the capital was more than enough cause to let his tightly-braided hair down.

He passed Ulric a mug and raised his own. "Bottoms up!" He shouted in his native tongue before slugging the foamy drink down.

"You seem insistent on reuniting her as a fellow adventurer and maybe... something more." Benedict tapped the bar briefly, as if searching for more words. "I would like that she were able to choose her own path, so to say. Your talk earlier about numerous offsprings and early marriage has me thinking..." He looked at Ahyan, frowning again. "do you wish for that to happen to you two?"

Ahyan turned his head to look rather dramatically into the distance. He paused for a bit before responding, as if he sought an appropriate answer.

Actually, he was obscuring the blush that rose up from such a forward question. Did this man have no tact? Who asks that kind of thing?

"What happens between us in the future has yet to be written. But I will say I would not be opposed to it."

His voice was as steady as always.

With Ragnelle

Riko glanced at Elle, meeting her eyes for a brief moment as Elle shrugged. Yuzuki seemed harmless enough, and Riko had little reason to be on guard. Well, if Elle had no problem with it...

"Then I am fine with it too," Riko said. "I am Nishiki Riko. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Lady Yukimura."

Riko gave Elle a brief nod. "Shall we walk?" she said.

She faced Yuzuki again. "Has your stay here in Vale been a pleasant one?"

Sightseeing

"That's a good one" Sienna said as she picked up the antler he pointed towards and spoke. "That will be eh... 13 Lien, here you go" She waited for him to show the money, offered it and took the the coins he himself offered.

"Ah yes the wedding, I planned to go. I am searching for friend of mine in Vale, thinking my chances of finding there are good, I am not used to living in city so it is very hard to navigate. Do you know huntresses? She told me she is one. Tall woman with large sharp teeth, tends to be happy and bit silly. If you could possibly direct me to her I would be very thankful to you, good sir" She bowed as she finished her sentence and began closing her bags, returning her wares to her large backpack.

"Of course. So you still have some sort of affection for her that goes beyond friendship." That was the information Benedict needed.

The room seemed to get slightly colder again. "I have no objections about you getting closer to Elle, but I will have should I find you mistreating her in any way, shape or form." He smiled, but behind that fake expression hid something way more spiteful, if only for a moment. "Are we clear, Mr. Ahyan?"

Wayne gave Tempestas a small smile as they shook hands, nodding quietly before he let go.

And at Arturia's announcement, he quirked a brow. "Are you sure Elle is up for that? How much did you have to do to convince her of it?" As dear as he heard the sisters were to each other, he didn't believe that Elle would let herself be put into such a role so easily.

"Oh, would her name happen to be Fevrier?" Arrluk asked as he swapped his cash with her horns. "I have no idea where she is right now, but she can't have gone far." He shrugged. "Your best bet would be to meet her at the Wedding tomorrow, though. Is she your date there or something?"

Ahyan looked at Benedict. He stared the older man directly, their eyes meeting. His expression was placid, albeit with a slight furrowing of his brow.

However, his hands had clenched into fists. Fire burned behind his black irises.

"I would sooner run myself through with Alf Layla." he replied, his voice calm and measured. "Are we clear, Mr. Remington?"

The Vacuonese knight turned around, his cloak fluttering around him as he walked away.

Having nothing better to do, Vlad simply entered the inn, trying not to call attention to himself as he did so.

Sanfar tried to stifle her laughter as she reached back and gently petted Yuzuki's ears. "There there, she can be quite scary but she means well." She joked as she stepped to the side, letting them see Yuzuki. "Do you need somewhere to stay, Yuzuki?"

Across the establishment Angela sat at a table with her back to the wall. An open bottle of wine with two full glasses sitting on the table. The dark girl was staring directly at Vlad. There was a challenge in her eyes.

Step into my parlor.

Yuzuki's words shocked the crowd here for some reason but she wasn't sure if they had actually answered her question. Without consideration she butted into the ongoing conversation.

"According to the catalogues my mother has, yes. High heels are apparently becoming a fashion trend in some area. Not very practical or comfortable as far as I'm concerend"

The Faunus closed her book and folded in her black wings.

Chug!

Taking up his tankard, Ulric downed the beverage with reckless abandon before slamming the stein down and wiping the foam from his beard. "Oh, now that is the good stuff right there my friend. Now I remember why I like you!"

Meanwhile, Gerhart, who had been sitting in silence for the past little while managed to speak up "Sir Benkei, might I-" but was cut off as Ulric said "No, you can't have some lad."

Gerhart grimaced and took a moment to regain his usually calm demeanor. "Sir Ulric, I wasn't going to ask for a drink."

Not bothering to wait for his Knight's reply, the squire asked "Sir Benkei, what is it you do exactly? Sir Ulric hasn't told me much about you outside of how you two met."

Elle

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Ragnelle grumbled at Sanfar, frowning.

The mage then nodded at Riko. "Yeah, let's go find a dress. Any idea where we can start looking?"

At that moment however, someone else spoke and Ragnelle once more jumped in surprise.

"Sweet fucking Dust, where do you people keep coming from?!"


Arturia

The elder princess smiled at her betrothed.

"I know my sister well, and if there's one thing I'm sure about Ragnelle's character...it is that she will always try her hardest at any task given to her. This I swear to be true, my lord."

With Ragnelle

"I am not entirely convinced of the fashion value of high heels, either," Riko said, with a wry smile. "Perhaps simply because I am Vacuonese."

Though Riko outwardly gave the impression of a calm and collected individual, inside her head she ran through the many variables of the situation Princess Arturia had put them in.

"Ideally we would have a professional tailor fashion your dress from whole cloth, as all of my kimonos are, but er—" Riko paused. "Given that we are pressed for time, we will have to settle for something merely altered and custom fitted."

Would the nobles sneer at Ragnelle's choice of dress if not custom made? Why did Princess Arturia always have to make decisions on such short notice? Princess Arturia's absent-minded whims put them in a tight position with very few options.

Riko paced back and forth, cradling her head in her hands. "I am worried. I fear that—" Riko shook her head. "No. Surely the nobles will not be able to tell the difference? There is a tailoring district not far from here. It is reputable and frequented by nobles, perhaps we can find something there."

To top off all of Riko's worries, the nobles there would most likely question Ragnelle's growing entourage of faunus acquaintances. Riko was in no position to bring this up, of course, given that she was a faunus lucky enough to be able to easily hide her features and appear outwardly human.

"I appreciate that." Though Ahyan probably wouldn't stop to turn around for him, Benedict smiled. That man probably had it in him to both keep up with Elle and keep her safe and loved, should she accept him.

Arrluk and Sienna

"Rrrr? Fevrier heard her name!"

And so those looking were treated to the surreal sight of a titan of a woman cartwheeling into the conversation. No, not just a cartwheel. A cartwheel into a bearhug. She was versatile that way, much to the misfortune of others.

"Sienna! So long, so long! But hunting grounds later. Wedding first. Changing landscape of kingdom. And adventure chances!" She beamed, looking up at her fellow Faunus' face. "Meats of exotic flavour, too. Vale is big kingdom!"

She briefly looked to Arrluk, her big shark grin still on her face as she laughed.

"Skeleton Man, hunt with us? Very Cold Lands are your place! Cold meats for Sienna's family!"

Drinking Which Would Make Conan The Cimmerian Proud

Not a drop remained in the mug, especially since the big Vacu warrior upended it. "I've been saving up this thirst for a year, it better had been the good stuff!"

But as for the younger man's question, Benkei only refilled his mug. "I serve as Ragnelle of Vale's bodyman. I have been for a decade." He said at length, with a note of weary pride.

Arrluk pushed himself backwards with his cane, using his Semblance in conjunction to slide a few inches before coming to a stop. He was honestly a bit grateful that he hadn't reacted fast enough to strike Fevrier; she was, seemingly, pretty harmless. An outsider like him, but who hadn't taken the pains to assimilate like he had.

"I would be honored to go hunting with you." Arrluk said, raising his cane for emphasis. "My cane here is an excellent tool for it, and I haven't been on a real hunt in..." He suppressed an um, "in quite some time. A few years, I would estimate. It would be nice to get back into it. How do you two know each other, anyway?"

Sightseeing BONECRUSHER HUG

You know Fev? Fev is a good fr-" Sienna was halted mid sentence as she got bear hugged by her friend. She quickly smiled and returned the favor, hugging her even tighter, before releasing her and than lifting her up for a few seconds and put her down.

"It's good to see you Fev. I am sorry for being so late, your messanger took a bit of time to find our tent, happens often with nomads. Also trek to Vale was long and harsh"

She sighed and folded her hands. She was slightly bummed out, she wanted to begin "Alright, I will wait for the wedding. Hopefully lots of customers I will find there. Don't want to leave this place with much in my bags"

"Oh, are you hunter too Arrluk? In cold lands huh? Never been in too cold places, though this place is very cold compared to home"

"It is good, always better to be a bigger hunting as long as the target's big enough to feed everyone" She showed a mischievious grin on her face. Fully showing her fangs.

"Be warned, I'm very compete- She stuttered, she was still unused to speaking in this language- Competetive, and I want lots of kills and trophies" The Dromaeosaur clasped her hands as he continued to talk.

"Me and Fev met a while back, she was hunting in the Vacuonese desert and happened to pass us, so we met. Me and her are good friends. Am I right Fev?" She hugged her tight once again"

"We're hunting buddies basically, and she invited me to go on a hunting trip with her"

Angela cleaned her fingernails with a tiny knife. "Is there something in particular that I can help you with mi'lord?" She asked politely, Her accent notably less rough than it was in the tavern. "It was a nice try, but you're not the first man whose tried to follow me home without consent."

Clinky Clinky, Drinky Drinky

"Like I said Gerhart, he's a Royal Bootlick!" Roared Ulric as he burst into cacophonous laughter.

After his laughter had died down, Ulric continued "But even if his allegiances are odd, he is a good man and someone I'm proud to call my friend."

Gerhart nodded with a forced smile on his face in response to his knight. Sir Ulric wasn't usually this jovial, so the squire was incredibly confused about how he needed to act at this point.

"Er, Sir Benkei, I don't suppose you have any squires of your own?"
