*The Cock Crows.*

[Mon-da-oth]

Rhode glances at Faen with a slight look of confusion crossing his brow.

"Is ain't ask'n if'n he bes interested in yous."

He continues to glare down at Remi while balling up his fists.

[Vahene]

Faen's eyes widened as she comprehended what Rhode truly said, "No,
no!"

She spoke a bit too quickly. "He's a loud-mouthed, irritating, arrogant,
egotistical, maniacal cad, but that doesn't mean that he or his demonic
familiar need to be.. dealt with. Besides, doing it myself would give me
satisfaction like you wouldn't believe," she added the last sentence under
her breath.

[Minuvas]

Minuvas saw the Father enter the building, and strode after in a lumbering manner.

He billowed the wooden door open, the door slapped against the opposite end almost as if Minuvas had smashed it open - although he remain in a polite and neat posture, no signs of struggle or show of strength upon him.

He overlooked the room, and the commoners that stank up the place, with disdain. Each step he tooks towards the bar thudded with a heavy clink of metal and chain ruffling underneath his armor.

A long iron chain also made a slight grinding sound, as the heavy book that swung from it attached around his shoulder swooped back and forth lightly as he walked. His Crimson cape was more beautiful than ever, clearly the one he was wearing now was new and it seemed to be tailored eloquently.

Finally the thudding of his feet stopped, he regarded Roggins without a single glance - infact the Dwarf seemed to have quickly made his way to the opposite end of the bar in a swift fashion.

Minuvas merely placed his hand squarely on the shoulder of Father Willis, as he attempted to gain his attention " Father, surely - what brings you to this Den of Thieves, and rogues. Silent rebels against the Emperor lurk this room, despite the glance of both Talon and Watch upon them. ..."

Minuvas merely smiled, and before Father Willis could say anything , Minuvas already had laid out the gold to pay for whatever he was going to be drinking. "When you are finished here, let us speak at the Temple..."

With that, Minuvas turned about - nodding to the Talon Captain on his way out.

[Vahene]

Faen simply stared at Minuvas with astonishment visible on her face. She
quickly covered it - rage beginning to fill her. After attending every
service, and every sermon the man gave, he only had eyes for himself,
his money, and how to further prosper both. It wasn't that Faen
disagreed with those priorities, but it annoyed her when the person was
head of her master's church. To her it was blasphemous to ignore
Lochwar for those things. It should be done through Lochwar.

Silently, Faen marked down a much needed conversation with her brother
in her mind, and under her breath, loud enough for only Rhode and Remi
to hear, she muttered something about priests and how their egos fill
enough space to destroy the Plane of Shadows, leaving only pea-sized
brains.

[Mon-da-oth]

Rhode cackled at Faen's comment and patted Remi on the shoulder before turning back to the bar where he took the stool he had claimed earlier next to Grayle.

Without a word he reached over a plucked one of the bones that Grayle had finished with out of the bowl and snapped it in half against the edge of the counter.

As best as his swollen lip would allow he began to noisily suck the marrow out of the bone.

[Father Willis]

Nodding to Minuvas as he headed out of the Mistyvale, Father Willis returns to drinking his tea, peacefully in the corner of the bar. He closes his eyes and calmly breathes in the scent of spices emanating from the tea. It had been quite some time since he'd enjoyed such a civilized commodity, and as he'd only recently returned from lands that were ... lacking in civility, to put it lightly, he had been longing for such an indulgence.

Slowly sipping the tea until the last drop, he called Master Roggins over to him, patiently awaiting his attention. After a few moments, the dwarf appeared. Father Willis leaned over the bar to speak quietly, hardly above a murmur to Roggins... Roggins shook his head in the negative and shrugged, apologizing, then went about his merry way, taking the coin that Minuvas had left.

At that, Father Willis casually pulled the crimson hood of his robe above his head, and made his way out the door.

[Stormknife]

Remi was about to respond to Rhode when Hurricane Minuvas swept into the room. He stopped, thought about saying something, then changed his mind. It took a lot of effort not to laugh at her remark.

He leaned over and whispered into her ear: "You know, darlin', mebbe that ego's compensatin' for somethin'...and what's with the crazy man?"


(( I don't mind if y'all want to rough Remi up a bit, but I'm not going to be at the computer at all tomorrow...so be nice to him until I get a chance to respond. XD ))
