He makes a small gesture with his head.
I'm not, but my sister is.
The girl steps forward and curtsies, giving the bartender a cleavage-shot- if he's looking. She treats him to a charming smile.
I'm a Bard. I would gladly perform here in exchange for a room and food.

He's looking, appreciating the view.
'Alright then. You can start tonight. Any problems with guests, we've got people to deal with them, just call them.'
The barkeeper points out a couple of people sitting at a table, eating. At first, they don't look like much, but a closer look reveals they're still on their guard, even while at a meal, and their weapons look in good condition, and used frequently.

They both smile, he bows and she curtsies again. After getting directions to the room and the key, they head off towards their room. Once there, he throws the pack on the floor, flops down on a bed and yawns widely.
You show-off.
Hey, it worked. Put your hand on your mouth, you ruffian.
She starts unpacking the backpack. There's a beautiful harp there, a few weapons, clothes and two blankets and all sorts of things people on the road would need. She takes out a roll of cookies, takes two and throws the roll over to her brother. He catches it with one hand.
Yes Mommy.
Very funny, rich boy.
Baaah. Hey, what are you doing?
Doing yoga, what does it look like?
She has untied her top and thrown it on the bed, slides out of her skirt. He raises his eyebrows at her back, where the black tattoo of a tiger on the top right just under the shoulder seems to be trying to claw its way out of the constriction of her bra. He has the same tattoo on his upper left arm. She takes a long black dress with a high collar from the backpack and slips into it.
Looks like you're trying to make yourself look high-society.
Oh hush. I was cold. Buttons.
He gets up and lazily buttons up the dress before sitting down again.
Going out then?
Yeah, why not? Have a look around town. Might as well. Coming?
He yawns again and lies down, stretching.
No way. I'm tired.
Lazy is the word. All right then, see you.
She leaves him in the room and goes downstairs, carrying a handbag, a fine blackcloak over her shoulders. She waves at the innkeep and steps into the streets.

After a while, he opens his eyes again and watches the twilight outside. Is it a starry twilight? That would be passingly amusing. He walks to the window and looks out. Nope, no such luck. Clouds and Autumn rain. Bah. The room is dark, she's not back yet. He walks out of the room, closes and locks the door behind him, and walks downstairs. He sits down with a bottle of beer, occasionally drinking straight from the bottle. Though he is sitting in a corner, someone eventually notices him and walks up to him, a young lady in red with a giganormous coiffure. She promptly sits down on his lap.
"Aww, where were you? You walked out so-"
He blinks and shoves her off his lap with perhaps more force than strictly necessary.
... what the Hells? Stay away from me!
She lands on her butt and gives him a hurt and confused and angry look, gets up and walks away with her nose in the air. The young man takes a swig of his beer and blinks a few more times. That was interesting.

Tinnu returns after a few hours and waves happily at her brother.
Hey there sleepyhead.
Very funny that. Did you have fun?
Met someone nice, but other than that it was rather boring overall really.
He gets up and walks her upstairs.
You?
Nah, nothing.

After her evening performance, they both wake rather late, and Tinnu spends some lazy time watching her brother, who is asleep with all his blankets wrapped around him like a coccoon. She resists the near-overwhelming urge to tickle him, but she knows that will keep him moody all day, so she decides against it. Instead she slips out of bed, gets a bath, and is all ready and fresh by the time he opens one groggy eye.
Wakey wakey sleepyhead! The day is half gone!
Exactly how I like it.
He grumbles a bit and stays exactly where he is.
Come on, get up, we should explore the town now we have the chance.
Hrmph.
Oh well fine. See you!
She runs out, leaving him to grumble and mutter and turn in his bed. He closes his eyes and slips back into blissful warm sleep while she runs out of the inn, looking for something fun to do.

The bartender grins and winks at Tinnu as she runs past. There'd been a pretty big crowd last night, it was not often they had a pretty female bard perform and word had gotten around quickly.

*They arrive at the Friends, Kage still standing just to the right of Tinnu. He smiles and turns to her, waiting for her to lead the rest of the way. He had known the way here, even if she had never mentioned where it was they were going. It was more like he was following the direction she was going then anything else, as if he could tell where her next step would be placed by her movements.*

Tinnu smiles at Kage and leads him up the stairs towards her room. As she opens the door and really really hopes her brother will not be there... But there is no sign of Ivren anywhere, considering he's climbed onto the roof about an hour earlier to watch the city from up high.

*Kage closes the door as he walks in and walks up to Tinnu. He smiles once and then kisses her lightly, testing reactions in a sense. He didn't want to push too swiftly, just in case he had read her incorrectly, and he was also giving her the chance to step out this, should she wish.*

She smiles back, returns the kiss, and taking his sleeves pulls him a bit closer to her while she takes a step back, towards the bed.
Up on the roof, Ivren saw the two of them walk into the building. He just rolled his eyes and watches the birds fly over the rooftops.

*Kage didn't sleep. It was rare that he ever does. He was still awake after she had drifted off.
He finishes getting dressed and glances at Tinnu. She was a very passionate woman, that was for certain.
He smiled... and vanished.*

Tinnu wakes a few hours later, and shakes her head to truly wake up. She rubs her eyes and looks around. He's gone. Ah well, been fun- now where did she leave that shoe... She slides out of bed and starts dressing. When done, she pokes her head out into the hallway. She walks downstairs and finds Ivren in the common room, a beer in his hand, a woman in red glaring at him from the other side of the room. She giggles and sits down by him.
All done then?
Yep.
Had fun?
Yes, was good.
He shakes his head and takes a swig of his beer.
Taken that potion yet?
Thought you had it.
Of course not, it's in the pack.
Oh okay.
She gets up and he follows her upstairs. He sits down on his own bed and watches as she goes through the backpack.
You could have made the bed you know.
She rolls her eyes, takes the cork off a small bottle, and drinks the contents. It's bitter.
So did you even ask his name?
Did I have to?
He groans.
Yes, yes you did. Gods Tinnu. This isn't normal.
Not listening...
Funny. I'm serious okay? You're only a hundred and thirty-one, Tinnu. You shouldn't even know that potion exists, much less be taking it. Regularly. Relatively that guy must have been what, twice your age?
She sighs.
You're not my father, you don't have to lecture me.
No, I'm your brother. Sooner or later you're going to end up with a nasty disease. If some nutter you picked up doesn't slice your throat in your sleep first.
She checks her reflection in the mirror, glances at the bed and smiles vaguely, her thoughts elsewhere. Somewhere she had fun and wasn't being lectured to, most likely.
Are you even listening to me?
Mhmmm hm.
Tinnu?
Oh- er, yes, of course I am. Puh, don't worry so much.
He frowns.
I saved you from a weirdo before. Plenty of times before. One day I'm going to be too late, that's what's going to happen if you keep this up.
He had saved her from some drunk in a bar, that was how they first met. She had then tried to flirt with him until he pointed out they had the same eyes and might be related.
Relax already.
She grabs her cloak.
Cool down, I'm just going for a walk.
Not alone you're not.
She grumbles when he gets up and picks up his old leather coat.
I don't need a babysitter.
You've been here two days and you got a man as many times. So yes, yes you do.
Hey, that's not true! I only had one, just the one.
He smirks.
Come on. What do you think I am, blind and stupid? There was something going on and I know you well enough by now, little sister.
She mutters under her breath.
Honest.
Sure. Now, were we going out?
She gives him a very defiant look.
Yes.
Good. Let's go then.
They walk down the stairs and out to the street.
So are you seeing him again?
Don't suppose so.
He shakes his head and follows her, glaring death at every male who so much as looks her way. He's pissed off today. Might have something to do with not sleeping in a bed. Or sleeping at all, for that matter.

*A wolf seems to appear laying down near the fireplace. The wolf wasn't there one moment then the next he was*
*It shifts about momentarily getting a bit more comfortable then only moves because of breathing*

The wolf and its sudden appearance get glances from the patrons, but they soon return to their drinks. The bouncers however keep an extra eye on the animal, some careful questions soon determining it doesn't belong to anybody there.
