*She chuckles at the blink and starts eating.* ... wow, this is really good! *Happily eats some more, only noew noticing how hungry she was. Gods, she hasn't eaten anything since... Lunch, yesterday?* So, uhm... *Glances at the maps* The unmarked places, are you going to go there in the future? [Dragon blushes a bit when she chuckles but quickly recovers, smiling when she compliments the meal.] "Thanks! Course, you helped cook it." [Dragon glances at the maps after she comments.] "Huh? Oh, yeah!" [He nods and takes another bite, finishing it off before speaking again.] "I plan to see as much as I can before my time is up. Only stopped here because this place has so much to see, since it is a Planar trade city."

*She smiles at the blush* Don't worry. Wouldn't laugh at you. You just reminded me of something, that's all. *Shakes her head, still smiling* Nah, not really... *Eats some more* You do? That's cool! Yeah, this place is pretty interesting. Been here long?

If you don't want to answer, you don't have to. Yes you did. " [Dragon thinks about it and grins.] "Well, long for me, yes. I've been here about three years so far, The place is very interesting and has lots of weird things happening all the time."

Nah, that's okay. I'm a bit curious myself. You reminded me of a situation my sister and me got ourselves in. We were at this noble's banquet, because my mother and uncle were performing there. She and I posed as nobles and got a spot at the table. However, not knowing the customs of the place, we started eating the moment we got served. Right when the lord of the manor was going to give a speech. We were sitting there eating as though we weren't interested in what he was going to say. All those nobles were staring at us. You should've seen their faces. Three years? Wow, that is long. *Nods* Like that eathquake. *Looks at him and tilts her head to the side a bit* If you don't mind my asking, how old are you?

[Dragon nearly chokes on his Chow Mien, laughing.]
"Hey, serves them right in a sense. Nobles get on my nerves sometimes, so high and mighty. That must have been great! That was saying you were above the guy serving you! Ha!
Yeah, it is... longest I've been in a place for ages."
[Dragon nods as he gets another serving.]
"Yeah... that was really weird. I've been in plenty of earthquakes, but never one with a feeling like that. That, and Eluria doesn't have earthquakes... this is the first one I've ever heard about, unless you count gate disturbances, like with the Bank.
Me? I'm twenty four years old."

*Grins* Yep. It was great, yes. *Chews and swallows another bite* Mhmmm... Don't think I've ever been anywhere that long. *Thinks* ... the Bank? What happened, what bank? Ah, I see. *Calculates. Twenty-four, twenty-four... Around- between two and three hundred years, comparative Elven age? Something like it. Hm. Not bad. Too bad he isn't an Elf... She finds herself thinking he'll be dead in as little as, what? Sixty years? Gods, that's nothing. She shakes off the very unpleasant thought.*

"According to Councillor Rift, it was swallowed up in a gate that ripped open. To the Nine. He stopped the Devils from pouring out into the city. Really, it was like an earthquake then, with the ground splitting under that bank. That place was there for years, and then BAM!, gone."
[Dragon finishes up his serving and pushes the plate aside. He finds himself watching her eat, but that wasn't so uncommon with a guest. She was a very, very good looking guest, though. Well, he hoped she would be well with this running away business. It got hard sometimes, especially when you start missing your family.]

And it just targetted the bank? The Devils must have been low on money, then. *Blushes as she feels his eyes on her and quickly finishes her meal. She looks up at him and smiles.*

She looks up at him and smiles.* "Actually, the hole was under the bank and part of the street. Really, some people believe it, others don't. Rift said it wasn't really by any choice of theirs, just a convergence of Planes. Which does happen from time to time, but it is rare from what I hear. Really, I have no idea how it works, so don't ask me. I don't trust Rift too much, though. He is a really cold hearted bastard." [He smiles back and starts clearing the dishes when he notices she is done.]

Okay, I won't. *Shrugs* Wouldn't know, never had the pleasure. *Gets up and grabs a towel to dry the dishes.*

Hey, she was downright helpful. He handed her a dish when he was done cleaning it off, continuing to do this until they were finished.] "Yeah... met him once. Didn't like him that much. I'm glad you haven't met him. He is a really creepy guy."

*She dries off all the plates and puts them back where she'd seen him get them.*
Oh? Perhaps all the council members are. I met councillor Lunaria at my cousin's wedding- or, saw him, anyway- and he was pretty creepy, too.

Strange guy... with a really, really nasty look in his eyes, as if he is about to explode at any given moment. He was at your cousin's wedding? Wow, she must be really high up. Lunaria rarely leaves his library.

*Smiles back at him*
You're welcome. Least I can do, really.
Yes, I know what you mean. He was looking at everyone as though he'd prefer to kill them right then and there. Don't know what he was doing there, either.
Nah, she's just an innkeep, runs the Evensong. Guess they're friends. She's okay, I don't really know her too well. She's got a cute kid, though.

[Dragon smiles back and walks back to the table, sitting down at the couch.] "I hear he doesn't like Humans all that much. Hey, she runs the Evensong? Wow, that would take some guts. The place has a bit of a reputation with some shady business. A kid? Kids are nice... they can be a pain in the ass, but I like them. So hey, what is your family like?"
