 T his training crap was way too much sometimes. Dieter had been rather pushy about her getting a little more offensive training under her belt. This all started When she had failed to kill the creature in the sewers that had attacked her and Dieter had to come rescue her. Now he almost was on a mission about making her stronger. But, that's not really what Cass wanted. She was a free spirit and she enjoyed being the clan support with her dancing skills. The dagger on her hip was usually for show and some defense when she was alone. But, that wasn't enough for Dieter. He wanted her to really be able to have a fighting chance. It was sweet, but completely unnecessary. She didn't really know why she was even bothering to train when he wasn't around. It didn't make sense to her. She'd just met the guy. Why would she be working this hard to do something she didn't want to do because he'd practically asked her to? It didn't make that much sense. But, it didn't matter. Now she was off getting herself a small breakfast in town. Normally she'd eat back at the clan, but with her new roommate she was trying to stay out as much as possible. Ivy was usually in the room and it was annoying as hell. Cass and Ivy really didn't get along. Cass walked along and found a spot to pick up something to eat. She ordered and paid for her meal before moving to browse the stands up the street. She did need to decide on a new weapon. The knife was small and she seemed to be doing better with her gloves and that lance that Dieter had found. Her only concern on the lance was it was large and would hinder her natural flow. She'd need to figure out a way around that issue. She needed something small like a pair of gloves or a dagger to keep on her hip.

Juris walked through the market-place of Ivalice, his armored, scaly body clanking ever so softly with each step. This was one of those few times he actually traveled outside of Olympus, mainly just to update his gear and get his armor cleaned. As good as an arena Olympus was, it lacked any blacksmiths or merchants that can repair his armor and sell him items. Well... maybe there was another reason...
Work.
Juris needed work... It has been ages since he's been to this city but it was more likely than not that there was SOMEBODY out there that was in need of a Templar. Single missions... That's all he would do. No being hired by other clans, no being dragged into some other clan's problems.... He had enough of his own... And besides... History has taught him that life only lead to the ruin of everyone else... It'd be better off if he worked alone. The Bangaa worked his way through the crowd of bustling people as best as he could though inevitably, one would be buffered, trying to work against the flow of a moving tide of people. One of those that he had accidentally bumped against... Was a human woman in a dress, blonde hair long and fair. She looked very... Civilian with no visable weapons or gear to speak of. Her very appearance spoke of a gentle up-bringing, having very little to do with the art of combat or even self-defense.
"My apologiesssss." He begged her pardon, turning around to face her, bowing his armored head. "I meant no disssssresssspect. It is jussst sssso crowded here."
Hopefully, that would do. In a city like this, just about anyone was willing to make a scene over the smallest infraction. Some people were so quick to anger. Should his apology satisfy the woman, he would merely continue on his way to the nearest pub... Only place to get work nowadays.

A t least she really wasn't enjoying the small meal she'd picked up. It was a little on the overcooked side and the only reason she was still eating it was because it wasn't too expensive and she was a little hungry. The woman had no idea she was going to have a run in with someone today. Honestly, she figured it would be a normal day of being ignored by everyone and just browsing the wares before going back to her training. That was all she was doing right now. She hadn't been assigned a mission in a while since they went to this weird world and fought some pretty tough characters. It made the warriors and other clans here look a lot less intimidating. It was more crowded here today than it had been the rest of the week. She moved through and had paused for a few moments at a window until she felt a pretty rough bump, making her stumble and lose her balance a bit before she dropped her breakfast. It was a shame but not unforgivable. At least they'd saved her from finishing the pathetic excuse for foor. "H-hey! Watch it!" She said a bit defensively as she looked to see who had bumped her. It seemed it was an armored bangaa. A bangaa that was automatically apologizing to her and explaining that it was just really crowded. The lizard man was bigger than her, so of course it was going to be harder to move around. It was surprising that he hadn't been bumped around more than he had. The dancer let out a soft sigh as she nodded. "It's fine... Sorry for being snappy. It did get a little crowded. You okay?" Cass admitted to Juris. She had just gotten a little aggravated about being bumped. She knew she was small, but sometimes people practically pushed her aside at times. She didn't really give off a threatening vibe so people took advantage. It was understandable why she was so defensive. She let out as soft sigh. Now she needed to figure out what to do now that she'd lost her breakfast.

The woman took the Bangaa's apology graciously and in turn, asked if he was okay. Juris smiled as warmly as a jagged-mouthed armored reptilian could smile, nodding his head.
"Jusssst fine." He confirmed. "Nothing lossst. Town'ssss bussssssy today, hmmm? Sssay... How about I treat you for my missstake? After all, I did forccccce you to drop your... food." He glanced down at what was supposed to be the dancer's breakfast splattered across the ground, half-eaten and mixed in with the dust and rocks scattering the roads. Even if Juris was starving and hadn't eaten for weeks, he wouldn't have touched that. Standards and all. He would offer out an armored hand out to the girl for her to shake, a formal greeting seeing as he would be buying her breakfast!
"I am Knight Templar Jurisss. I wassss heading to the nearby pub to find some work but perhapsss I can treat you to some real breakfassssst before I do. Care to accompany me?" If the woman would take his hand, he would guide them both through the shifting seas of pedestrians taking them across the street to the pub! The place wouldn't be nearly as crowded nor as noisy as the outside, giving the armored reptile some sense of relief. Letting go of the woman's hand, he would sigh heavily and take off his helm, holding it under his arm.
There were plenty of different people in here today from thieves to gunmen to monks to ninjas... All sorts came by this place day in and day out... Bangaa, humans, moogles... Things were pretty calm as well, so long as everyone minded their manners. Sitting himself down at the nearest empty table, Juris would wait for the dancer to join him, smiling all the while
"Sssso... What bringssss you to Ivaliccccce? The people...? The work...?"

C assialyn certainly did not expect to be invited to get breakfast with him. It was an honest mistake and if she was going to be honest, he'd saved her from having to finish it. It really wasn't all that good to begin with. It was a sweet gesture though. Cass blinked a few times and started to decline, but that didn't seem to be an option in her case. The young dancer sighed but nodded and accepted his hand. She smiled and shook it. "Cassialyn Freewin. I'm a Dancer for Helios Ambition....ha... still weird saying that." She giggled a bit in response. She rarely talked to people before about who she was. But, with Dieter handling her past, she was free to do as she pleased. That had been staying with the clan that had saved her and brought her in as one of their own. "But sure, I wouldn't mind accompanying you. But you really don't have to treat me to a meal. You probably saved me from forcing myself to finish it."Cass accepted his hand and let him lead her through the crowd. It was easier seeing as he was bigger than she was and was clearing the path for her by walking first. Cass kept up until they reached the tavern and she brushed off her dress before glancing the place over to find them two seats. She shifted to the table with the bangaa and sat with him as he removed his helm and made himself comfortable. "Well, that's a longer story. Let's just say I got into a bit of trouble and one of the clans based out of the town saved my hide. So, I decided to stay on with them. I was a bit of a gypsy before, never in one place too long. So, it's nice to have a place to call home."Cassialyn didn't mind breezing over the details. She didn't want to blabber about her past relationship and family issues with a complete stranger. Though, the man seemed to be polite to say the least. He'd fit in rather well seeing as Dieter and Ivonne were the two offensive people of the group and Ivonne would hopefully be leaving soon enough. "What about you? Are you just here for some work? I know that our clan could always use the extra help if you wanted to hang around or pick up a tougher mark." The dancer admitted as she watched the reptilian man sitting across from her.

The Bangaa nodded as the Cassialyn gave him the bare-bones summery of her purpose here, this story being a familiar one around town. Yeah... This whole world was one big battle ground of monsters, clans and guards, each one trying to keep their piece of the pie while expanding it in the process. Almost every day the maps seemed to change in regards to who controlled what and so, this was why he stopped listening to gossip concerning clans. There were only a certain few he kept track of nowadays: The most hostile, the most hospitable and the few that contained associates or friends of his. Every other one he simply left to their futile turf-wars, knowing, even if they don't, that they land they "capture" would be taken from them the very next day.
"Yesss... Clansss can provide ressssspite for the needy." Juris agreed, a small smile creeping across his reptilian face. "Though... perhapsss your home is consssstantly moving, isss it not? Your clan musssst not linger here all the time...?" Just as he asked this question, a waitress appeared before them, a young viera approached them with menus, though the Templar simply waved his away. he already knew what he wanted. Placing his order for some cooked meat and biscuits, the viera waitress would obtain Cass' order before disappearing back to where she had come from, leaving the pair alone again.
The dancer mentioned that her clan was always looking for strong arms to aid in their fight, that they could all work together to take down bigger prey than Juris could do alone. The Bangaa smiled and laughed, shaking his head.
"No... I've had my fill with clansss. Letsss jusssst ssssay I've ssssseen what happensss when they go on for too long. No offensssse, my lady Casssssialyn, but I'm a bit wary of anyone trying to hire me into their clan." He smiled apologetically, shrugging his plate-covered shoulders.
"And besssides. With so many of them around lately, it'ssss much eassssier for me to travel alone instead of in packsss. With a good map and a good plan, I've found my way out of difficult ssssituationssss. My apologiesssss if I've dissssapointed you."

* "Depends on the clan. This one saved me from another clan of mercenaries that I was a short term member of... and they didn't have to step in." She smiled a bit before fighting back the faint blush that appeared on her face at the thought of Dieter. She really had gotten a crush on the man, even if he could scare the heck out of her at times with his glares and his actions. He had lobbed off the arm of one of her attackers the first time they met. Though, she supposed the darkness present in a Dark Knight did become overwhelming at times. It was the only explanation that she could come up with. "It used to. Not anymore. They took me in and I've been in the town since. It's actually really nice here. I think I've finally figured my way about the city." The dancer replied with a proud smile as she watched the bangaa. It was kinda of cute how he rolled all his "s" sounds. It reminded her of the friend she'd made in school before her family pulled her out. He did the same thing. Though, not all bangaa's did. So, maybe it was a dialect based out of the area. Though, she wasn't sure how comfortable she felt asking the man. It might be taken as rude and she certainly didn't want to offend the one that was buying her breakfast. The Vera waitress appeared and they two of them ordered before she disappeared to get them for the two. She had gotten some simple eggs and a biscuit. She didn't want to overeat after her morning training and she certainly didn't want to put the man out. She figured she'd attempt to pay for her own meal at the end. But, she doubted he would allow it. He seemed sweet. That's when he declined joining her clan. The dancer gave the bangaa a very odd and confused look. What was he talking about? She hadn't asked if he wanted to join? It took her a moment to realize that he'd taken it as an invitation to join. "Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to give you that impression! I don't have that sort of power! I was just saying that you could tag along if you needed some help. I'm not disappointed at all! Dieter would probably kill me if I was just inviting random people that were nice to me off the street. Though.... after his last recruit it'd be only fair." The last sentence she mumbled a bit to herself. The newest recruit was a Dark Knight that had gotten stuck in their realm because of Dieter. So, she'd gotten stuck rooming with the girl in the meantime. "I didn't mean to make you awkward. Sorry. I just know how tough it can be to take on a hunt alone at times. The small ones sometimes aren't worth the fee... but I know from experience that you sometimes need help with bigger ones. Then again, I'm more a support class than an offensive one. So, you might not even need it. I know Dieter being a Dark Knight can handle a lot on his own." Cass felt rather comfortable talking to the man. He was being open so she had no reason to hide anything. It's not like their clan was some hush hush organization. They were there to help the town. "If you need assistance, we can definitely help. We're in the clan building up the street. Or, you can probably find Dieter or at the the orphanage in low town if you can't reach us. It's always good to have a friend in town." She offered as the waitress appeared with their drinks. Cass sipped on the water as they sat together. "Just passing through I take it?" She asked.

Juris tilted his head to the side as the dancer backpedaled quickly, stating that, in fact, she hadn't intended to hire him on at all! Apparently, she was just extending the invitation into their clan as... unofficial help of some sort...? The fact her boss would "kill" her just for extending a hand in friendship only seemed to concern his biases regarding clans... Unofficial unions tended to break down rather quickly when money isn't distributed the way they should, when someone blames another for one of their member's deaths, when tensions began to rise between the two factions. Of course, he was but one man and was likely not to suffer such fates... besides the money of course. Juris didn't trust people to act fairly when their best interest was somewhere else and they could act on it. If he employed the help of a clan... who knows what they would do once the time had come for the gil to be dished out?
"Do not worry!" He chuckled, shaking his head. "There issss no problem here! I ssssimply missundersssstood!" Cassialyn clarified, stating that she simply wished to help, knowing that there were times the small game wasn't worth it. Indeed, it took several hunts in one day for Juris to make ends meet and while it had been working out for him so far, eventually those jobs would start to drizzle out as the newer clans started to take them, forcing the Bangaa to work his way up. Monster such as sword-biters, Dragons, various oozes, these creatures he would have to combat alone and while he was confident in his skill to kill any one of them, lately they had started to come in packs. Eventually he WOULD have to join some sort of clan... that was obvious... He simply wished to put that off, though as long as possible.
"Your offer isssss very kind. Thissss humble Templar thankssss you." He smiled softly right as the Vera waitress returned with their drinks! Stopping her for but a moment, Juris pulled a small sack of gil from his waste, handing the girl a few small coins, thanking her for her service. The smile that spread across her lips was enough to light this whole pub it felt like, leaving the Bangaa feeling satisfied... The Knights Templar were always generous like that... A habit he'd picked up and enjoyed.
As the Bangaa took a quick swig of his drink, the dancer inquired about him, asking if he was just passing through.
"Indeed. Like I ssssaid, Jusssst looking for work. With all thessssse new clanssss, finding ssssmall jobsss is far more difficult... I get by, however. I asssssumed more work would be available in a ccccccity like thissss."

C assialyn had no idea that the bangaa was taking her quite literally. Dieter wouldn't literally kill her for bringing home a 'stray'. Honestly, it would be just punishment for her dumping Ivy on her without any warning. The dancer giggled a bit at his response. At least he wasn't offended by here. That was a blessing in disguise. He even thanked her for the offer. "You're welcome, Juris. I'm sure they won't mind my offer at least. I just think with all the new additions he might just snap." She smiled a bit in amusement. The drinks came and she was happy to have something different than the same plain water. Things could be worse and she could be dehydrated. She'd been desperate before. It was why she had an emergency stash of gil and water now. The last thing she wanted to do was ever be that worried again. She planned to keep herself planned ahead now. "Yeah, it's gotten tough without joining a clan. I clan jumped a lot till these guys adopted me. Didn't stay with anyone for more than 14 days. So I get it. Hence why I offered if you get stuck finding anything." She smiled again as she sat with him. "You have any recent quests you've been on lately?" |

"Oh... Nothing too interesssssting, I am sure." Juris responded to her question. "A group of dragonsss here, a troublesome blade-biter there... nothing that would impressss someone ssssuch as yourssssself, I'm cccccertain." He smiled dryly. "You and your clan musssst hunt them every day. Like I ssssaid, large jobsss are hard to locate when you are but a ssssssingle persssson. After all, who would entrusssst their good money to one mercccccinary with sssssomething so important?" He shrugged his shoulders, heavily, his metal armor clanking lightly with the movement. It wasn't long after he finished his thought that their ordered foods were brought out to them, the Bangaa's eyes lighting up eagerly! Low and behold it was the same bunny-eared waitress as before, carrying each and every tray with grace that almost seemed magical. Somehow, she was able to balance 3 seperate trays upon which were several plates, all without the least bit of visible strain! Truly, she was a natural at her job!
"You are impressive..." The templar murmured, the tip of his nose twitching as the hot steam radiating off the meat and freshly made bread. His eyes now focused on the waitress, he flashed her a smile, helping her take down the plates from her various trays. "No clansmen I've ever met had the grace you possess." The waitress couldn't help but blush, a deep red flash spreading across her darker toned skin. He simply laughed and withdrew another small amount of gil, enough to pay for their meal and then some. There went the last of his job money... Such was the life of a generous soul. The woman happily took his offering, thanking both Cassialyn and himself for their business before practically dancing away, clutching the money to her chest! He couldn't help but watch her go, feeling quite satisfied with himself. He could only hope she took care of whatever cut she got from him... Perhaps she could even move out of this place and earn money somewhere more dignified...
WELL! Enough with the 'what-ifs', he had food to eat! Juris wasted little time and dove right into his meal, taking just enough care to not grow sloppy and keep himself somewhat orderly. It wasn't long before his food had disappeared from his plate and reappeared in his stomach... Good enough for him! He was starving! He would wait politely for Cass to finish up her meal as well, glancing around at the other patrons... A Bangaa white monk here, a human thief there, a ninja even and a dragoon! The unusual certainly frequented this place... It was the first time he saw a ninja outside of battle.
"Do tell... hassss the turf-warsssss been sssssssssettling reccccccccently? The lassssssst thing I'd dessssssssire is to be caught between one..."

C ass was highly amused by his lax attitude toward the dangers of the marks he handled. They were pretty tough if she was to say so. She had trouble fighting basic creatures sometimes. Though it made sense as she was more support than the offensive fighter in the clan. That's what Dieter seemed to be attempting to alter and fix in the process of everything. She listened closely as he spoke about the issues he had had in the past and she half nodded. "Yeah, really tough. I'd of thought it'd of been easier for a more offensive class..." She half explained as she watched the male bangaa. The waitress then appeared with their meal and she had to admit that it did smell really good. A warm meal here wasn't too bad an idea. She was glad that the bangaa had invited her to join him. It was nice to get out and enjoy the cities once in a while. Especially with this one being her current home. Once the viera left the table, Cass giggled a bit at his actions. "I can't tell if you're just flirting or if you're secretly a womanizer." The dancer teased as she worked on eating hers. Though, the Templar ate his much faster than she did. He was obviously a lot hungrier than she was. But, she finished not too long after he did. That's when he asked an odd question. Though, maybe not so odd to be completely honest. Cass paused to think about it as she drank some of her drink. "You know... now that I think about it. I haven't noticed any here. I know they have had a few issues with the more nefarious clans. You know... the ones that do the attempted kidnappings. But, there's only one I know around here.... otherwise... it's been pretty peaceful." The woman admitted as she watched him a moment. |

The Templar's eyes widened and his expression somewhat shifted into one of minor shock at the dancer's joke, surprised she would even think to kid about such things. He? A womanizer because he gave generously in both coin and compliments? Juris must've been out of the loop for longer than he'd thought if this was how culture had changed so see such things. It was sad, really... that the thought of being kind came with the expectation of rewards. Womanizer... That was rather degrading... While he was certain that wasn't the intent of Cass, he didn't hide it too well that the description fit uncomfortably. "...Neither." He responded after a short pause, his lips curling into a curious smile. "One doesssssn't have to be so insssssinccccere to provide an act of kindnesssss. I gave her the confidencccccccce and the means necessssssary to start her on her way to a better life. A bar is not the... ideal location to spend one'sssss dayssss, at least in the eyes of this humble knight. Whether or not she actssss on it isss her choicccce." His inquiry as to the nature of the turf-wars was met with relaxing news... It seemed they had calmed down quite a bit, at least in this area. That would make moving about and doing missions much easier. With so little conflict, indeed the local jobs would pay less, but they would be in more abundance, at least for a solo mercenary such as himself. It seemed that work would be on the up-and-up! "Excccccellent!" He exclaimed happily. "That'sssss good to know! Perhapssss I will not have to travel sssso sssoon after all." Despite it's flaws, this truly was a nice city. The people were friendly enough, business was bustling, and now the area nearby was calm enough for jobs to bloom.
"Might I inquire one more thing?" Juris asked, reaching over to his helm and taking it in his hands. "What issss your clan like? How doesssss it work? Perhaps... If they are like you... there isss work for usss in the future."

* Cass couldn't help but giggle even more as the templar seemed almost surprised and offended by her comment. She had not meant it as an insult. She just meant that the way he said it seemed way more like flirting than just being polite. It was even funnier. He was such a do-gooder and it was pretty funny. "Hehe. Okay. Whatever you say. But, I think she thought you were flirting." She expressed as they sat together. Not that she really minded either way. It certainly did not affect her in the slightest. Eventually she muffled her soft giggles as he expressed his pleasure at the lack of turf wars. Now that she could understand the excitement for. The lack of these sort of beefs in the street was a nice perk. One that she really hadn't noticed until he pointed it out. That was certainly a perk in her opinion. She'd take it. "Sure. Shoot." She replied to his question about asking one more thing of her. That's when the bangaa finally seemed to start taking interest in her clan. Her eye flickered to his hands as he collected his helm, the question waiting for a response. "Well, they're a pretty weird bunch to say the least. They're not the most formal group and can be a little disorganized at times..." She started as she giggled a bit. There were more than a few times that she watched them trip over the paperwork and she watched things get a little chaotic. "But, out in the field? They're intense. I've never seen a clan work so well together. They flow so well. I'm still trying to figure out how they do it. They're good people though. They rescue people. They help teach. Dieter, the clan member that's been helping me... he's taken a small group of orphans in low town under his wing. He's great... kind..." She started to trail off a bit with a faint smile and a soft blush before she realized she'd gone a little off topic. "I mean, it's hard to get an unbiased opinion from me. I'm part of the clan by choice. Some of them are a little quiet. I don't think I've met them all yet. But, they're great." |

Helios’ Ambitions Right Hand, Dieter Wolfram’s lips remained set in a firm, unyielding line of neutrality as he’d diligently scanned over the array of documents that had been so “graciously” provided by their clan’s secretary, Nils, earlier that morning. A dejected sigh slipped from him as he’d dutifully reviewed the detailed summary of the Clans’ activities to include their number of successful hunts, net gains, tariffs garnished by the city of Rabanastre, a break down of their expenses, and lastly a summary of his own affairs. His distain only intensified as he’d reviewed the invoice of his meager savings, between fostering Cassialyn, Ivonne, Ciru-Ajiru and providing for the Low-Town Orphans, he’d burnt through nearly the entirety of his savings – a few hundred Gil left to his name.
His attention remained raptly focused upon his personal summary before he’d reached up to massage the bridge of his nose – a last ditch effort to abate the headache he’d felt threatening to overtake him. With one final sign, the Archdaemon placed his personal report aside, tidying up the assortment of papers before he’d returned them to Nils’ outstretch, waiting hands. Once the Nu Mou snatched the documents from his hand, dutifully making his way towards the door of Dieter’s office, purposefully lingering at the door as he’d awaited his next set of orders.
“Please see that Syel reviews it as well, adds her Research Stipends, and then give it to Ysera for final review.”
Dieter commanded as he’d rose from behind his desk, running his spindly fingers across his billowing robes to smooth out the incessant imaginary wrinkles. He followed in Nils’ wake, pausing momentarily to inspect himself in the mirror, meticulously tucking a few stray hairs behind the corresponding ear and undoing his hastily done braids only to correct their sloppy appearance and rebind them with a length of teal ribbon. Within the following minute, Dieter had departed from the Clan Hall with a fresh handful of Hunt requests clutched in his hand, he desired to clarify some of them with their requesters – interested in a few of them himself.
However, before he’d found the first employer, his attention was momentarily captured by the sound of Cassialyn’s voice. He failed to suppress the urge to smile wirily, his thoughts momentarily shifting to the memory of her clad in a vibrant blue for their date. It took him only a few precious seconds to locate her in the crowd, his brow arching upwards, his interest piqued as she’d spoke with the iron-clad Bangaa. Who prey tell was this. His sharpened senses picked up on bits and pieces of their conversations, enough for him to discern that she was actively discussing the Clan with the unknown reptilian templar.
“I have to agree, I wouldn’t devote myself entirely to it if I didn’t believe our Clan is one of the finest within Rabanastre.”
Dieter stated proudly, interjecting himself into the conversation.

Juris only smiled as Cassalyn admitted the faults of her clan, if they could call them that. A clan wasn't necessarily supposed to be a military unit, always on guard with their downtime being reserved and respectful even then. They were mercenaries, taking jobs and make money. A little disorganization and informality kept the relationship between the men more cordial and friendly, over all better for moral. What made this explanation even more encouraging was that in the field, Cassalyn described them as nothing less than uniform and excellent at their work, apparently never seeing another clan work in tandem so well! Of course, being a member of such a clan, it wasn't unlikely that she was obligated to speak so kindly about her fellow mercenary, though her tone did in fact convey genuine warmth and admiration...
"Of coursssse." He nodded with a small chuckle as she admitted to her own potential biases. "But ssssomehow I do not figure you for an exaggerator. I will take your-"
Suddenly the voice of a new comer arched over the Bangaa's, shifting the conversation from 2 people to 3. The reptilian knight's expression twisted in confusion, his armor clanking neatly as he turned back behind him to face the newcomer... The knight's eyes widened as he realized that the man speaking was another member of Cassalyn's clan, the way he spoke of them giving him much of the detail he required.
"Ah! Well then, pleasssse!" He quickly got up from his seat, offering it to the man. "Here, have a sssseat! I will ssssimply pull up another!" He smiled graciously at the man before pulling up another chair from one of the nearby empty tables and pulling it up to theirs.
"Greetingsss, Sssser!" The Bangaa smiled warmly at the figure as he sat back down at the table. "My name is Jurissss! Your clan-mate and I have jusssst been dissscusssing a posssssibility of an alliancccce! Perhapssss we may work together in the future?"
