"Ah, I's born in this little place," the manager said. "Now, tell me, yer lookin' for a room to rent?"

[XxMystic]

Alyssa
Alyssa watched as Cole headed to the table of trouble makers. She had her guard up for Fleas sake. Such a young girl should not have to endure such things. Alyssa dealt with plenty of those types on her ship. She drank some over water mainly to keep her self to stay cool. She had a feeling these boys would not let up without a fight. Alyssa let a sigh out, as if saying "here we go again."
When Cole had closed in on them on of the red headed ones looked Cole up and down with a perplexed expression. Him? This boy? confronting them? Ha. what nerves he must have The red head thought. "Watch it boy, you don't the right to address us as so. Don't you know who we are?' He said before one of his fellow mates turned around to Flea and touched her. The red head didn't even have time to turn his attention back until he saw his fellow mate being punched square in the face by the man in front of them.
Alyssa already started to stand up to escort Flea out, but when the filthy rat started addressing flea and touched her, Alyssa shot up ready to run one through. Cole was able to react much faster than her. She watched Cole punch the culprit. Alyssa made sure Flea left the general before standing alongside Cole.
The man that Cole punched stood up, with a red mark staining his face. Oh he was beyond mad. The rest of the group stood alongside him to take up for one of their group members that just got blasted in the face. "You. are. dead." He said through clenched teeth before swinging toward Cole.
Alyssa intercepted the mans punch with a hard metal tray that was laying on a near by table. The man hit the tray, bending the tray with a yelp of his own. "Well looks like you owe me another lunch." She joked to Cole.
The others surrounded them ready to put this blonde young man and other woman down.

Nic
Wouldn't hurt for him to stay a little while. He was tired. Especially since he lost his borrowed horse hours earlier. I started growing fond of the little tavern and the woman he was able to converse with. "I suppose I will be." He replied to the manager. "I'll need a decent room for a decent price. You think you have one?" Nic said.

((Sorry that took me a little longer to get back to. Been a little more swamped than I'd like to be. And again don't worry about Coles gift I am not picky and don't mind at all even if you do. Hope life is going good with you!))

[Shellpepper]

The manager grinned a nearly toothless smile at Nic. "Aye, tha' I've got for sure!" He said. "Cam on, I'll have the girl bring you another drink once I get you settled into your new room."

[XxMystic]

Nic grimaced at the mans lack of teeth, but got up anyway following behind him in the tavern. Not a friendly guy to look at from the outside and inside. Nic thouht shaking his head. "Alrighty another drink does sound good." He mumbled.

[Shellpepper]

"This way, this way," the weird old guy said. "Girl, bring 'im a glass in room 2."
Arabella nodded and watched Nic, shocked, as her boss started leading him upstairs.

[XxMystic]

Nic took in his surrondings, he didn't stay in many taverns. Nic walked up the creeky old stairs running his hand along the wall feeling the rough wood under his hands. "How many rooms you have upstairs?" He asked. This place was bigger tham he orifinally thought.

[Shellpepper]

"Three," the keeper said. "The girl stays in one." He looked Nic up and down. "Meaning she stays in room one. Door ain't that strong, if you pick up what I's layin out." He laughed and walked Nic to room 2 and opened the door. "There'll be extra charge for breakin' things, mind you."

[XxMystic]

Nic gritted hia teeth what kind of place is this dude running? He thought to himself angerily. "I hope that was a joke, that you don't really tell your customers that. I mean you do protect your employees, right?" Nic grunted seeing his room. There will be an extra charge for breaking things. He'd pay one just to break this guys nose." He thought to himself shaking his head. Nic felt bad for Arabella being in such an environment.

[Shellpepper]

"Ah, come on, I's just jokin' ya," the keeper grumbled. "Ne'r had nobody pesterin her a'fore, anyhow."

[XxMystic]

Nic grinded his teeth clearly aggitated. "Sure hope so." He mumbled starting to regret giving this man any of his buisness. People like that always made nic furious.
