    Ilpholin is left staring at Adir in disbelief. "We'll practically be neighbors then," the nymph says with a level of uncertainty in her voice. "I'd have to admit, I never thought you'd be willing to go that far. Expansionism is a dangerous business. Though maybe not as dangerous as raising seven kids."

    "We grew up together, actually! Uh. When she was there, anyway. Her and Sarget liked to travel,"
    says Adir. "She was my first kiss and everything." He snickers happily, grinning, and drinks some more. His face shifts, remembering. "I mean... not... not everything. The kiss, mostly. Never mind."

    "Neighbors? I guess you've heard of old Empy then,"
    Adir raises his eyebrows. "Huh. But... yeah. I mean. There isn't much I wouldn't do for them." His smile turns dopey. "The kids and her make me happier than I've ever been. I got down on my knees and told the Empress I'd cook, if that's what she needed. Isn't that funny, you guys telling me how good I was at it?"

    "The childhood friend dream?" Ilpholin had no idea the relationship was that idyllic. "At least you explored other options first." Got some experience, made sure that's what they really wanted. It all seems to work out perfectly. And they lived happily ever after...

    It's enough to make a nymph jealous.

    "Yeah, she's further south of me," Ilpholin explains. She's afraid Adir has some inflated romantic ideas about what it means to be a knight. "Cooking would be an unusual task for a knight. Then again, I don't know much about what she's like as a person. Perhaps that's the kind of thing she's looking for? Have you been given any assignments yet?"

    Suddenly, out of the entrance comes a dude who kind of looks like this (^^^^). He stumbles about, clearly drunk, and then starts to babble things like:
    Stupid vanguard doesn't need more firepower,, they need more courge. COurge? Courage!

    Deer tails are designed to be smushed? Ilpholin doesn't really know. So she just tuts lightly. "Then you lack imagination." Her grin is interrupted somewhat as someone stumbles in and falls to the floor. She eyes him cautiously before deciding he's capable of sleeping it off right there and turns her attention back to Adir.

    "Don't get hazed too hard. You'll need to work on your martial skills, won't you? Regular training and all that to stay in shape and be a proper knight?" Ilpholin sips her wine and 'assesses' his body again. "Well maybe not to stay in shape. But since you'll be a short trip away, I could always train you. My home has good facilities for combat training and it would be better for me to have a live partner. Mister Squiggles is good at a lot of things, but his holo opponents are a little predictable."

    Adir is a bit too engaged with Ilpholin and a bit too far on the tipsy side to even look at the unconscious stranger. The stag just grins. "I mean, I guess so. I'm definitely gonna be rusty..." Adir laments, though he still smiles.

    "If you think you can keep from ogling me too much, I just might take you up on that,"
    the stag winks. "Don't think I haven't noticed. Not dumb. Everybody thinks so, though..." He takes a swig, eyes hooded and glazed. "Not too dumb to be a knight."

    The bird like man suddenly springs up, looks around, and sighs.

    I blacked out again. Stupid human beverages.

    The man then walks towards the bar, and requests something not made by a human.

    A bartender looks him over.
    Is he the sort who wants a refined elven drink? No, obviously not.
    A deeply distressing mixer made by horrible entities from beyond the shroud? Better not.
    A fox cola? Everyone likes that, but from the way he was talking he's looking for something harder.

    An oppressively heavy dwarven ale should do. Now, the barkeep seems to be human. And on fire. But the contents of the mug set down in front of the Dread Druid should be just fine.

    The strange bird man grabs it, puts it to his lips, drinks for ten seconds, and puts down the empty mugs.

    After beign upstairs for an hour, Hidrus walk down again. He looks pretty messy, with wrinkled clothes and messy hair. The black circles around his eyes are even more marked, and his espression is one of deep irritation.

    The barkeep raises an eyebrow at him chugging down the whole thing. But here's another mug slapped down for him.

    Then she turns to Hidrus.
    "Something wrong with your room?"

    The fireplace in the common blazes particularly bright, throwing off a shower of sparks.

    Hidrus scratces his right horn. He tries to reach the tip, but the horn is too long.

    "the fact is, it looks like i am expected to sleep on a fluffy slab of cloth. i, humm, belive that here everyone uses them. but it's useless to hold off the visions of blood and death that plague the subconscious of my people."

    He lowers his head and stretches out his arm, reaching for the end of the horn.

    Even when she's not attempting to make double entendres, they're still there. Madness. Or she's just that good. Then again, everything's a double entendre if you look deep enough into the rabbit hole.

    "The way you're treated?" Ilpholin tilts her head a little. "Maybe it's cause of the kids. People dumb down for children. Maybe it bleeds over into interacting with their parents? I dunno. Way out of my field of expertise." She waves the line of thought off with her hand. "Or are we talking straight up racism here? I can't tell you the number of idiots I've met who think fey only understand critters and plants." The last part comes out as something of a growl. Admittedly this problem doesn't seem to be that big an issue in Central Nexus.
