Thea laughed. "The pose is ridiculous, but the scarf is rather dashing -- oof! Pardon me, m'lady." She turned and curtsied an apology at Rysela before turning back to Liore. "The bowyer may be busy right now, sir, so I suggest I take you to The Plucked Goose, just outside market. Would you be averse to such a proposition?" She placed her basket on her hip and pulled a lock of her hair forward, chewing on it thoughtfully.

((oh ho ho..))
A slender brow raised under the cloth, and he put a finger to his chin thoughtfully.."What..is that an Inn or something?" He cringed a bit as his stomach replied with a grow. "Ahh.." He wrapped his arms around his midsection bashfully.."I suppose a hot meal would be nice..."
Liore hadn't noticed until now, But his head was outright throbbing. a hand went up to massage it gently as he followed the girl to the inn, praying that his "disguise" would be enough. He figured he'd have a chance to take a look at his sword in the room. Oh sweet sweet bliss he felt as he finally entered the inn, and a rush of warm air wooshed around him, and he quickly shut the door behind him, making some sort of goofy cat-like grin as he did. The double fireplaces seemed to heat the room quite well, not to mention the abundance of warm-blooded patrons, who seemed to regard him as they would a drunkard.

Oscar pointed over towards Liore and nudged his friend, "That one look good?" He asked. "Hmm... he looks... familiar... but yah, I think 'e'll do quite nicely." Silius replied.
Oscar and Silius got up and went through their routine. Silius made a big show, challenging any one to a game, and betting alot of money on it. Oscar took up the challenge and won that money. Silius then walked over to Liore, stumbling and shuffling like a drunkard, and leaned against him. "What *hic* say you friend? 'ou look like a pleasent sort *hic* good wit a knife a what not? *hic* Wanna play a friendly game?"

"eeeshh.." Liore grimaced, leaning his head away from Silius. A look of comprehension traced his face as he suddenly realized this was the kid from before..He thought. Maybe. Most humans looked the same to him. He palmed the door with his hand and stood up straight. "Hey....Aren't you that kid--" He stopped, realizing he'd blow his cover that he just now aquired.. "--..I mean...aren't you a little young to be drinking?" Liore's eyes looked darkened under the low-worn sash around his head, and he peered down to Silius. "And no....I'm more of an archer...swords....kind of guy." His eyes scaned the room, and fell upon the bounty that Oscar had just won...his eyes lit up, and he grinned back to Silius...his expression was different now, less happy-go-lucky, and more sly and devious. "But for you, my friend?.....I can do knives."
He patted a hand on The smaller man's shoulder, chuckling.."So, Tell me about this...game."

Silius saw the change in Liore's expresion and realised he might be just alittle to deep. Still, if he 'magically' sobered up now him and Oscar would probably get thrown out of the Inn. "Alirhgt... arligth... alrigth *hic* see, we just put a friendly wager down. Not much, ya know a few hunderd coins *hic* orrr... somethinh... and we play for a bit, throwing the knives at those... bulleyesh over there. Three knives, close... *hich* closest to the center with the three wins... *hic* Like this." Silius bent his arm back, took carefull aim, and loosed a knife across the inn. Of course he missed so horribly that Oscar had to duck, lest he be hit in the face. "I'll... *hic* go first... how's about four hunnerd coinsh."
Silius walked up to a line that was chalked on the ground and wobbled there for a while. Then he brought back a dagger and loosed it, it hit in the second ring of Liore's target. "Hahaha, shtupid knivesh, don't know which target they goesh to!"

hmm.. He pondered as he rubbed his chin with his fingers, his small goatee making a bristly sound against the two leather wraps around his fingers. He stole a glance to Silius's stupid-grinning self, and rolled his head a bit, the cracking in his neck and spine sounded..unhealthy, to say the least. He picked up one of the small throwing knives and tossed it up, and catching it again, pondering.."hmmm....You know...This is a lot different then archery. I mean you have to account for the balancing of the blade, and the length of your arm, and everything..Shooting an arrow is more point-and-shoot." He grinned again, knowing full well there was way more to bows than that..but he figured he'd need to play up this stupid tourist guise for a lot longer if he planned to make any.."pals" here. He drew his right arm back, and loosed the dagger, watching it sail through the air...where would it hit?
((i'll let you decide that, since i wanna see where you want this game to go. *has plans for both ways*))

Silius grimaced as the knife hit the bullseye. Alright, he thought to himself, looks like 'e's good. Silius readied his knife and threw it. It smacked into the bullseye. Silius looked over at Liore, "*Hic* Hah! I'm ganna win! *hic*"

"oh really...? If you say so." He loosed another dagger and smirked as it nailed the border of the bullseye and the innermost ring. "this game confuses me though...I don't quite understand the rules.." He frowned a bit, hoping the money he won from thsi game would buy him some strong spirits, or even afford someone to figure out why the hell the sword was stuck in the sheath.

Oh 'ell, Silius thought, ... I think I'm going to lose! Shouldn't have thrown away that first throw... ah well... Silius threw his dagger, it landed only slightly to the left of the second dagger. He then waited to see what would happen, hoping against hope that the man would miss.

gotta win, gotta win....come on Liore... He mused to himself, flicking another knife eagerly, grimacing as it strikes the same dagger he just threw, loosing it from the target, and causing the new dagger to slip slightly from it's spot..."...ooh..stay stay ...staaaay...." He stuck his hands out as if coaxing the dagger like a dog.
That booze is MINE.. he inwardly cheered. [/i]Maybe my luck's starting to turn around..[/i]

In the meantime, Thea had been sitting at the bar, talking animatedly with her friend the barkeep. They had stopped mid-conversation to stare at the contest taking place. She squinted slightly at the two drunken fools, only to recognize them as Silius and Oscar. She swore softly. "Theo," she said exasperatedly to the barkeep, "Why did you let those two con L- err, my friend into that game?? They should know better! And for that matter, so should you!" Theo shrugged. "You should keep a better eye on your 'friends', Matthea," he replied, a little uncaringly. Thea stood and approached the trio, glaring daggers at the two men. "Why hello there, Silius, Oscar." She curstied. "Just a friendly game with my friend, eh?" Her voice was filled with barely restrained ire. Usually this would amuse her, but she'd gotten slightly protective of Liore in this small time she'd begun to help him. One of her main faults, that.
|| I can change this later if you wish, King, but I'm assuming Silius and Oscar have lived in the town as long as Thea has... it's a small enough town that she would know them and their tricks. She only didn't recognize them before because she was so enthralled by Liore. ||

Silius grimmaced as the dagger hit the bullseye. I... I lost... I never lose... damn me for being so cocky! He was about to hand over the four hundred promised when Thea walked up. "Oh aye, just a friendly game... ... and look at that I lost. Thanks for the game mister, it's been fun!" Silius said, all traces of his drunken stuppor gone. With that he tried to slip away slowly, motioning Oscar to follow and hoping that Thea would distract the man long enough that they could get out and be gone.

"....whu...HEY!" He stole and glance to Thea, and then to the two scamps who were trying to make a break for it. He NEVER forgot about money. "Where's my prize?" He called as he stepped after them. Hunger pains made him grimace, and he stopped.."...uuhn..Food."

"Run! Run!" Silius yelled at Oscar. They both made a break for the front door dodging the few patrons who tried to stop them. Silius opened the door and... ran right into another door. He rebounded, falling flat on his ass. "Wha..." Silius said, his gaze slowly moving upward.
Towering over him was a short stocky sort of fellow who didn't look to be over 4' 5", he had long fiery hair and a huge fiery, braided beard. His body was covered with a strange blue tatoo design, and what the tatoo didn't cover the scars did. His face had a strange skull tatooed on it, and out of the skulls eyesockets burned two bright green eyes. His left arm had a blue dragon coiling up it, his right arm had shards of glass, and looked like it had been permanetly died red. The only thing he wore was a chainmail loincloth and bladed gauntlets on either arm.
Silius screamed and back peddaled. "Ach, sorry there laddie, seems I 'ave that affect on alot o' people nowadays." Grimm Stonefire said smiling, which looked more like a grimace because of the extensive scaring on his face. "What's this now," he said looking around, taking in the situation, "you wouldn't 'ave happened to be running from that kind man over thare now would ya?" Grimm pointed towards Liore. "What's wrong? Owe him money and didn't want to pay? Well, good thing ah showed up then. Comeon you two." Grimm picked the two boys by their shirts and walked over to Liore. "Here ya go, 'ope they actually got yer money... now then. BARKEEEP! AH NEED ALE AND AH BE NEEDING SOME NOW!"
Grimm happily made his way to the bar, smiling at the barkeep. "Give me yer strongest!" Grimm shouted. The barkeep grimaced and put out a mug of frothy ale for Grimm. "That'll be five pieces of gold." The barkeep told him. "Alright, 'ere ya go." Grimm handed the bar keep his gold and took a sip... which he immediatly spit back out again. "Ya call this ale? Me children wouldn't even drink this stoff! Don't ya got anything stronger!" "Stronger... we got... the bucket." "Tha bucket? Ah likes the sound o' that. What is it?" "Well, we ring out the mop every night at close, the bucket is where all the alcohol goes." "Give me a glass." The barkeeper obeyed, chuckling to himself. No one withstood the bucket, if it didn't knock you flat it killed you. "Alright, one gold piece" "Here ya go," Grimm said handing the piece to the barkeep. He took a swig and smiled, "Now this, this be ale, me thanks." The barkeep could only look on in amazement. You see, he'd never met a Dwarf before.
OOC:Sorry, couldn't resist... I love him so.
