Fantasy Rosewind Tavern (Walk in Always Welcome!)

[NorikoStar]

"No! Fuck you. If you think I'm letting anyone call me a little mortal then you've got a lot to learn!" He continued glaring at the people in the corner for a moment, before crossing his arms and sitting down in a huff. He still didn't approach the table, preferring to sit apart. Arrow pulled a knife from his coat and twirled it through his fingers. It seemed to be a calming ritual. His breathing evened out as he continued, and the smug grin made its way back onto his face. "So, old man, my humblest apologies for that, earlier, y'know. Don't know what came over me. Must have been Miku, over there. She's pretty annoying, don't'cha think?"

 

[ElenaIsCool]

Temota growled. The nickname did have something to do with her name but still. How dare he accuse her of annoying him if she did pretty much nothing!

"Why you.." She hissed glaring at him"My name isn't Miku either, its Temotamiku or just call me Temota, or you're too stupid to remember that too"

Shiki facepalmed. Now she was acting chidish

 

[NorikoStar]

"Eh, let's compromise. You can be Motami, and I'll be awesome." He grinned at her, though his face was still flushed from his earlier anger. "Or you can be a stupid mortal, whatever, I don't care. I don't count, see, I'm cooler than that."

 

[ElenaIsCool]

Temota's eye twitched. He loved annoying her, didn't he?
"It's not Motami, I'd rather call you an annoying mortal instead and I know i'm not stupid, so I'll settle for mortal, which only immortal beings can call me" She stated matter-of-factly.

 

[NorikoStar]

"Ah, my apologies, princess." He laughed. "I am an annoying mortal. I acknowledge that in myself, which means you have no power over me. Try again, sweetheart," he drawled, twirling the knife in one hand, though his eyes were blazing. "Honestly, you should really learn to compromise. It'll do you some good! Like when you get caught by guards while trying to sneak into a castle, and you compromise by killing them instead of letting them set off the alarm. Or..." He thought for a moment. "Hm, that's actually one of the best compromises I've ever done."

 

[ElenaIsCool]

Temota growled. There he went again, with the princess thing. An Idea popped up in her brain. The most unlikely thing she's ever done. She sighed and looked at him square in the eye with a smirk

"You're wrong there, handsome. I do have power over you, since I'm your princess" She said flirtatiously coyly "And I'll settle to call you mortal since you love it"

Shiki couldn't believe his ears and looked at his twin with his jaw dropped. She hated flirting and she was flirting? This night probably also changed his sister.

 

[NorikoStar]

Arrow laughed heartily. "Look, while I appreciate the offer, and I do appreciate the compliment, I'm not a pedophile and I don't go for little girls." He rolled his eyes. "M'lady. Proper women wait their turn, come on, use your fan. Wait, did that go out? I totally forgot. Ah, whatever. For I am a gallant hero," he intoned dramatically, raising his hands theatrically, "and I do not wait for women to turn eighteen to spirit them away."

 

[ElenaIsCool]

Temota rolled her eyes. He was such a gentleman huh. Little girl? Seriously?

"I'm twenty three, idiot" She said. She was listening to Shiki and Arrow's conversation before the cloaked figure came in. This guy's memory was weird, or he didn't want to remember on purpose.

 

[NorikoStar]

"You're, like, half my age! I'm not into children!" Arrow looked offended and appalled. "You're a good twenty years younger than me! So, yeah, pardon me if I'm not begging to tap that!" He raised his hands as if in surrender and groaned. "Look, I'm a flirt, but I'm not a pedophile, I'm literally just playing it for laughs, so, yeah, princess, if you could stop that. That'd be great."

 

[ElenaIsCool]

Temota smiled. Now she had it. A nice way to annoy him for the rest of the time she knew him.

"Oh sure sure I'll stop..Not" She said. She decided to not annoy him at a moment like this. Much later would do. She continued eating

Shiki sighed and rubbed his temples. Those two would kill themselves before they even left the tavern.

 

[NorikoStar]

"If you keep giving me ideas, I'll have to take that as an invitation," he drawled, solemnly promising to himself that he wouldn't show any more irritation. The ring knife was being tossed into the air, now, periodically, and pulled out of the wooden table. After a bit of juggling it around, he was calmer than before. Arrow put the smug bastard grin back on his face and covered up any trace of annoyance.

 

[ElenaIsCool]

Temota rolled her eyes again and muttered something not even I can hear.

Shiki shook his head and turned to Arrow "Before you kill eachother by annoying yourselves to death, please let us eat in peace" He sighed

 

[NorikoStar]

"Please, go ahead, it's not like I'm stopping you." He flashed his teeth in a grin and pulled a small pouch from his coat. He dug around inside before finding what looked to be a rice cake and crunching down on it. The mouse on the table did the same, reaching into its tiny little pack and finding some corn to nibble on.

 

[ElenaIsCool]

Shiki tilted his head"Don't you wanna come eat here?"

Temota rolled her eyes"Let him eat over there. The less annoying, the better"

 

[NorikoStar]

"No, it's basic strategy," he said through a mouthful of rice cake. "You can't trust anything you didn't make yourself, not 'less you've known 'em for a while."

 

[ElenaIsCool]

Temota raised a brow and continued eating

Shiki blinked"If they wanted to kill us, they would have done so..Way before all of this"

 

[NorikoStar]

"That's not it. Those could be laced with suggestion potions. They could have a compulsion agent in 'em. They could be sedatives but, whatever it is, I'm not going near it." He rolled his eyes. "You're really inexperienced, you know that? Trying to throw off charm spells is a bitch. It's even worse when you've ingested it."

 

[ElenaIsCool]

Shiki shrugged and kept on eating

"Why don't you do it?" Temota sneered

 

[NorikoStar]

"Why don't I do what? Oh, let me guess, eat the food so generously presented to me? Uh, because I'm not fucking stupid! I'd rather be hungry than mind-controlled, thanks." He finished his rice cake and crossed his legs. "But, by all means, go ahead. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun dying on some stupid quest that you couldn't even reject."

 

[ElenaIsCool]

Temota glared at him. He did have some point there that was just..Well.She didn't know yet.

"Then why are you here then? If you wanted to have a drink then have it and leave! It'll make it less crowded and less annoying. We don't need a thief with us"

Shiki glared at his sister"That was just rude!"
Temota glared back"Shut the fuck up"

 

[NorikoStar]

"Are you absolutely stupid? Like, I was having my doubts earlier, but, like. A thousand gold? I'd be living like a king! That's a hundred years' of a typical peasant's salary!" Arrow rolled his eyes. "Besides, I can't exactly leave. Hello, weird-ass rainstorm outside? It wasn't even that bad earlier."

 

[ElenaIsCool]

Temota rolled her eyes"Then when it's over, you can leave"

 

[NorikoStar]

"You are possibly one of the least money-savvy girls I have ever met, and that's saying something. You're even worse than that noble girl, what was her name- I don't remember." He sighed mock-sadly. "You're going to get swindled out of all your gold, and it will be sad for you, and I will laugh."

 

[ElenaIsCool]

Temota rolled her eyes"If I lose gold, I'll get some once again"

 

[NorikoStar]

His eyebrows made a jump halfway across his face. "Wow. You're serious. Okay. Uh. Let me put this in perspective- you lose a hundred gold! Congratulations, you're broke. Now you have to work ten years- typical peasant salary, ten a year- to make that money back. That is a really idealistic and naive perspective and, for all my bastardry, I'm not going to let you walk away uneducated, princess."
