Iris made her descent towards the coast. Bathed, refreshed and in a new set of clothes, free of rips or blood stains. Also free of any obligations except for a standing appointment with the bottle. If the butterfly showed up, it would make an appetizer to go with the liquor. An interesting conversation about faraway lands to chew on is just what Iris needed to lift the boredom of drinking alone and divert thoughts away from pressing plans. Dusk washed over her as she entered the Hanged Man, still fairly quiet and populated by only a few patrons. She expected many feet to trickle in after her in the following hours. Hazel eyes made a quick scan of the faces inside on her way across the room. She reached the bar and raised her hand in that ubiquitous gesture that summoned drinks into one’s grasp. Mug in hand, she pushed herself off the counter and claimed a table on the side of the room. She sat with her back to the wall taking occasional sips of the biter drink, each sip turning it sweeter. |

Alina stared at the exterior of the tavern. Standing there, she only moved when she began to receive looks. Well, more looks than she was already receiving for being a Fae in Torchline.
Sighing, she pushed open the door. Blinking at the vastly different interior, she scowled. As the patrons turned to stare at her, she stared right back, scanning them for any sign of the woman who'd invited her here. Eventually she spotted Iris seated at a table next to one of the walls. The huntress shoved through the small crowd to the stranger. Not sitting, the Fae rested her hands on the back of a chair. "I'm here," she announced, totally unnecessarily. make me a big tall tree

Ignore the stares, comments, and other unwelcome attention, Alina just stood before the woman. The huntress narrowed her eyes, and her lips curled upwards for the briefest of moments. "Nope. You're the only one who gave me trouble." Still standing, she inclined her head towards the stranger.
Unstrapping the spear from its holster, the Fae leaned it against the nearby wall. Not making a move to sit, she rested one hand on the back of the chair again and the other on her hip. Eying the drinks as the bartender set them down, she sighed. "What were you hoping to talk to me about?" One of her feet began tapping, though Iris couldn't see it. make me a big tall tree

Narrowing her eyes at the stranger, Alina ran her hands along the back of the chair. "Why?" She glared at the patrons that were still watching her, though it did little to deter their stares.
The huntress hadn't changed from their altercation, and she had the cuts and bruises to show for it. At the other woman's joke, the Fae blinked. "Both snails attempt to fertilize each other." Cocking her head to one side, her lips curled upwards. As Iris explained the actual reason why she'd asked Alina to the bar, she nodded. Shifting so that her arms were resting on the back of the chair, she drummed her fingers on the wood. "What customs would you like to know about?" make me a big tall tree

As the locals continued to observe Alina in what they probably thought was a covert manner, she grimaced. She slipped one hand down to the knife that rested at her hip. Pulling it out, she began playing with it, rolling it along her knuckles. Unlike most blades, this wasn't made of metal. Instead, it was made of obsidian, dark and brutal looking and wickedly sharp.
Shrugging at the other woman's question, the Fae shook her head. "Nothing so fancy. I'm a huntress." Flipping the knife up and catching it in her palm, she raised her eyebrows at the stranger. "How about you? What do you do when you're not accosting strangers in alleyways?" make me a big tall tree

Still playing with the knife, Alina nodded at Iris' response. The Fae kept an eye on the crowd with her peripheral vision. However, most of them were at least being discreet in their observations now. "What sort of administrative work? And what does your family trade?" Pushing off the back of the chair, she slid around it and sat. Sheathing her knife, she took a sip of the ale.
Jaw dropping at the other woman's question, the huntress blinked a few times. "You think we eat humans?!" Scowling, she shook her head and leaned back. Folding her arms across her chest, her nostrils flare. "Oh for the love of...I hunt game." Her jaw feathered with tension. make me a big tall tree

Setting the mug back on the table, Alina traced her fingers around the rim of it. Raising her eyebrows at Iris' words, the huntress frowned. Her finger tapped along the side of her cup for moment before she spoke. "If it's that tedious why do you keep doing it?"
Scowling at the other woman's laughter, the Fae pressed her lips together. "What do you mean?" Shrugging at Iris' comment about the knife, the Fae glanced down at the blade. "Handsome?" Frowning, she lifted her gaze and met the other woman's eyes. "I bartered for it at our market. Was a simple enough trade." Her fingers strayed to the weapon's hilt again, resting there. make me a big tall tree

"It is." Frowning, Alina drummed her fingers on the table. Scratching the back of her head, she peered at Iris. "If you told your family you were unhappy in your current role, wouldn't they release you from your obligations and help you find a new position?"
Shrugging, the huntress tilted her mug back and forth with one hand. The fingers of the other were still resting on the dagger that the other woman was so enamored of. "Was there a question in there somewhere?" The Fae's lips twitched. "You're right. I don't leave the Greatwood often. Every once in a while, though, I visit the other lands to do reconnoissance." Raisign her eyebrows, she met Iris' gaze head on. make me a big tall tree
