Quest response;;
Stepping into the dimly lit tavern was like stepping into a different dimension- the dark and dreary mood of the village stopped at the threshold of the building, inside there were many cheers and toasts, kalons talking animatedly as they ordered and spoke. Tiny lanterns hung and floated midair, a magical sight
The mood was instantly uplifting, and with some renewed energy she strode in.
Immediately she saw a flustered kalon, and realizing with knitted brows that she had often been in that situation, she stepped over to greet him.
--
After he spoke to her, Fir's eyes raked the inn for possible solutions.
Luckily, the kalon (who had introduced himself as Briceus) realized her plight of not being able to speak. He gave a hefty sigh and turned to look out of the corner of his eye at the stranger, trying to act casual but acting strangely jerky. Her attention drifted back to soft murmur of voices, no single detail leaping out at her as how she could help him.
Until.
She caught the innkeeper's hands flying and folding something. They whispered over paper and as he finished, setting it down on the table, she saw it was origami.
Tapping the table excitedly to gain his attention, she mimicked the folding gesture. He picked it up and nodded to her.

"Oh-oh yes! I fold different things, its a bit of a stress relieve-" His eyes widened as Fir took his paw and guided him to his feet. He stumbled and tripped- right into the kalon he had been eyeing.
The two tumbled to the floor in a tangled mess of, "Ohh my bad!" and "so sorry!" as they tried to separate their limbs. Poor Briceus hadn't seen that the kalon he had tripped into was the very stranger he wanted to, so talking came naturally.
He stood and briskly dusted himself off, offering a hand to the kalon, who took it after picking up the dropped piece of folded paper.

"This is gorgeous- do you think, maybe you could teach me?" The kalon pushed back her hood as she spoke, still laughing from the accident. Briceus, who had been stunned into silence, stood flustered once more. "I can pay for lesson if you would want-"
"No, no. It'll be my treat."

Fir left the two as they took a seat at a nearby table, talking vividly to eachother and taking turns blushing.

Castor carefully adjusted his spellbook on the bartable as he started to prepare his orisons and spells for the day. Without preparation, the magical ink in his book wouldn't function, making a healing or damaging spell fizzle out as soon as he uttered it. The little dive was cozy and Castor distracted himself by sometimes glancing over at what drinks were served. Or, well, the looks of the drinks. They were really fun to look at, even if they weren't really his kind of fare.

The bartender seemed to be flitting about almost as fast as Castor's pen as it traced the runes on the pages with mana-charged ink. An orison for sparks, creating water... the bartender gave him a long look, which Castor caught in the corner of his eye. A spell to cause a fire bolt, a spell for a storm of stars... the bartender slowly crept over.

'Excuse me? Ah, are you any good at introducing people?" The bartender asked, making Castor look up and tilt his head.

"Ah... maybe? Oh! Wait, what if I cast a spell on you!" There was a spell! "Inspire courage," it was called. Castor quickly flipped to the page, drawing out the runes with his ink.

The bartender looked over curiously, watching with awe as Castor focused to magic from the ink. "Hold out your hand... It works best that way!" Castor instructed, demonstrating by placing his own hand above the spellbook. The bartender did just that, his eyes locked onto the scintillant blue ink. Castor didn't know if he could feel the magic in the air like a trained mage would- perhaps there would be something, though.

He focused, the runes on the paper doing most of the work. The pages glowed and then the ink wicked away in a small flash."There!"
Castor smiled, looking up at the Kalon he helped. That'll do it! Do you feel a bit more courageous or brave?"

Quest response;;

The trio of kits grinned among themselves, eyes flashing mischievously, and Apricot, the scamp, immediately raised his sing-song voice.

"Bri and red-hair sitting in a tree! K-I-S-"

The inn keeper, flaming scarlet cheeks, quickly hushed the incorrigible kit, but the damage had been done. The stranger with red hair turned in his seat, raising a paw to brush his bangs away from his eyes, brow raised in amusement. Bree stammered an apology, bowing and backing toward the kitchen without raising his eyes, but a kind chuckle from the stranger made him look up.

"Are these rug-rats bothering you, inn-keep? I think I could probably scare up a motherly type figure to herd them on their way, if it suits you."

Avenue huffed at that, sorely offended. She was almost 12 for crying out loud, not a baby! Evaline stroked her hair briefly to calm her and eyed the stranger with a sly grin.
"Only if you could catch us."

Apricot, already hopping on his toes, grinned a big toothy grin. He LOVED chase! The best game ever!

"Oh, no. I'm sure they're just fine where they are.." Bri murmured, giving the kits a stern side-eye. But before he could even finish the sentence, Apricot squealed in laughter and expertly palmed a loose bracelet from the inn-keep's slender wrist. Huh, a sneak-thief in the inn! He darted through the crowd, and was most of the way to the door, the other two kits hot on his heels, before Bri could even squeak in surprise. He hurried from behind the counter, apologizing to the customers smirking into their cups, and dashed after the trio out into the street. The stranger, not to be taunted and outdone by a kit, followed them out unhurriedly.

"Can't catch me!" Apricot sang in his kit's voice, high and clear. The other two, Evaline and Avenue, joined in with a silly, "You're slow as sap and snails! We're fast as cats and trains on rails!" That nonsense threw them into fits of laughter, as kits are amused by any old thing.

Suddenly, out of an alley stepped the stranger, right in front of the three, looming large as an flaming autumn oak. The kits skidded and tripped and rolled to a stop in front of him, gaping. Apricot in particular, used to being the fastest around, was astounded. "B-b-but.."

Bri jogged up behind the kits and plucked the bracelet from the un-resisting Apricot, slipping it back on his wrist. He blushed at the stranger while the kits clambered to their feet, demanding loudly to know how he did that, tugging at his jacket and hands in the way of younglings everywhere.

"Thank you for your help. I'm sure these scamps would have run me all over town to get this back, and I'm rather fond of it. I think you've earned yourself a drink, on the house. I'm Briceus."

The stranger smiled his slow, soft smile at Bri and tipped his chin down in a nod, "Cole, and I'll accept that drink, as long as company is included." His eyes danced in amusement as Bri flushed with pleasure, and the pair walked back to the inn with trail of kits in tow still demanding to know Cole's stealthy secret.

The poor innkeeper was super red.
But the party members had no idea what to do about who Briceus was stuttering and fanning their face over. Seventy's party agreed to try helping out for a promised reward. They all leaned on the counter giving the kalon tips.
"Maybe you could use a pickup line or something i don't know."
Seventy shrugged
"Briceus you could just talk to them." Bear commented
"Maybe give them a gift to show your affections?" Forager added
"I uh can't do anything about that see...they might not be interested.
They seem to be married or something..."
"But that stranger you pointed out has nobody near them..."
Bear pointed out after some confuse ment
Briceus lost it and started coughing.
He than put his head on the counter.
"Your lying to us." Forager suddenly
remarked sternly
Briceus shook his head and started babbling to himself
"Like i said they can't be interested."
The innkeeper than lifted his head and glance at them nervously.
Forager leaned in and growled
"Well say something to them or else."
Briceus seemed startled and shouted
"Well hops ill give you my time if you take a chance to carrot about me!"
The sound echoed through the bar.
Everyone in the bar turned to stare at the party.
Forager backed up in shock and his jaw dropped. Seventy started laughing really hard and slamming her right paw on the bar.
Bear glanced at Forager.
Forager lowered his hood on his head and turned away with embarrassment.
Briceus looked horrified,stuttered something unheard and began fiddling with drink glasses.
"Ok well how about i get you guys some drinks than."
"But we ordered nothing."
"Ahahaha on the house just excuse the social blunder!"
Forager raised his hood a bit and glanced at the bar keeper.
"Thanks...so uh how did you get this place...cutie?"
Seventy just covered her face snickering while Bear stared shocked at what Forager had just said.
They had thought the mystery kalon was a stranger but it was just a rouge.

Damn! Right as things were going right for us, that little weasel, literally, snatched it from us!
"What if we lured it out with cheese?", suggested Apollyon grabbing the cubes of the cheese they had bought from the shop not far down the road.
"No, no, that's chipmunks you're thinking about.", corrected Rossa taking a cub to snack on. Roxanne took a large heaving breath at these twos comments. Morons. Better idea than what she had in mind though, nothing.
"Jokes aside, Roxanne, we're mole women for good sake. My kingdom is literally a huge mess of holes!", exclaimed Rossa knocking two empty bottles, from the already trashed table, onto the floor.
"Bri, do you think you can get us a potion that'll shrink us?", asked Rossa leaning against it. "If you can, me and Rox can get your ring back.", she added grabbing Roxanne over. He nodded and they were in their way.
A quick bit later they were met with their potion. They looked towards each other and gave a ready nod.
"Bottoms up.", smiled Ross's gulping down her bit of it. In moments they were small as ants. They ran across the table, ready for what lay under the building.
As soon as they entered they were met with a fright. Weasels. Not just one or two, 15 adults. This may be harder than previously expected...
It was dark. It was small. It was trouble. Though both of them could easily navigate tunnels, neither had knowledge in avoiding weasels. They jumped and swung around tryin to scan over the crowd, to locate the weseal who stole it. Bingo! Silently screaming, Roxanne gave a point toward their guy, the largest of the group. She looked towards her and got ready.
She swiftly took it from beside the weasel but in doing so awoke the creature. Run! The two sprinted as fast as one could out of their until day light. Out of breath the two returned handing their friend his lovely gold ring.

But alas the chat didn't happen.
The rouge was unheard over the loud sorrys and flustered mess.
The sound of clinking drink glasses and Forager's too quiet question.
Maybe it had just been a misunderstanding?
It must of actually been that stranger.
Forager had just freaked the innkeeper guy out into saying something awkward.
But now the rouge felt humiliated.
He was a fool.
Seventy was still laughing at him.
Bear was still staring at him.
Briceus apologized again for his social blunder.
At least Forager's threat and the party's flirting tips were the final thing to change the innkeepers mind. Though nobody knew how it had worked. He went to leave the bar for the stranger. That pretty lady kalon Briceus had pointed out earlier that had been mistaken for a lie. Than chaos happened. Briceus ran off after the weasel and everyone took off after him. Forager gladly covered his face again and followed.
They had to get the guys ring back.
The best guy for the job was the rouge. His party could get that weasel.
Seventy would never let Forager live this night down after they caught that little thief.
They would spent all day searching for the weasel for that lucky ring.

edit:sorry wasnt long enough hope we are allowed to edit to fix that:/

An audible gasp leaves Jia-Ae as he sobers up quick from his fits of laughter. Eyes widening to the size of moons, the male watches as the weasel darts between the tables and seats and proceeds to quickly grab the inn keeper's wrist as he darts after the sly creature. Without much thought, Jia-Ae drags Briceus with him as he leans in to catch the weasel, only releasing the poor inn keeper from his grasp in favor of diving in to catch the creature. "Smarmy little creature" the man mutters under his breath as his fingers enclose around thin air and the weasel makes it's successful escape for the second time that night.

Jia-Ae refused to give up, however, and continued to chase the creature as it fled. Without wheedling tricks or sly bargains, the small man, instead, dives in with brute force, determined to catch the creature with his two hands.

Unfortunately for the weasel- or perhaps fortunately for Jia-Ae, the weasel accidentally finds itself dropping the ring and running off, in an attempt to escape from Jia-Ae. And soon, the small male has the ring in his hands, a little huff of a breath heaving out of his chest as he hands it to the inn keeper.
