The Purple Sage
There would be the softest sigh as Lamot returned to the bar, shaking his head and pouring a beer to one of the newcomers. He knew what they were, and didn't bother with carding her. Kamaria came over to him for her little speech, and at least his face would light up with that cryptic half smile that replaced it.
"Kamaria, I know perfectly well how to use you, that isn't the issue. part of me wanting to teach you how to fight with your fists is that I think it would just be more beneficial in an actual fight to me. I know how skilled some of these others can be, but I have managed to deal with more than one pair by myself with the bat. Just saved time and effort, really. Don't worry about being useless, because you're not. It might just come down to using you in nontraditional ways."
His shoulders would shrug, he knew there was a pair in the room with them, and worst case, he could probably get his hands on a stungun or the like through his associates for her, but the issue wasn't really there for him. He was a brawler, a bruiser. He could make do with impromptu weapons, but it did really seem to concern her.
"I'll make you a deal. I'll spend half a day a week training with you, if you spend half a day a week learning how to hold your own in a fistfight, I mean, after all, I might not be around when you find a pair closing in on you. Besides, I don't think its completely as bad as you think. No everyone is so violent as you give them aspirations too, and a lot of humans are worse than some wielders."
Of course, when the argument of the two new people reached a crescendo, he would give that half smile, ruffling Kamaria's hair, and pressing his finger to his lips with a wink before moving over to the girl who had come in. He would lean on the bar with one elbow, proping his hand on his chin. She was definately something, he would give her that. Just which half of the pair he wouldn't know until the other stormed out.
"Don't worry. If you don't try to pick a fight in here with us, I won't have to hurt you both. First one's on the house. and try to not cause a scene with your boyfriend in the future, its an embarrassment to you, to me, to everyone else who has to see it, and honestly, its not like it was even a very good one."
With that he would turn back to moving along the bar, filling drink orders as he moved, a twinkle in his eyes until he leaned back against the centre of the bar, the faintest groove in the wood showing its where he stood as some guardian of the alcohol.
