[i]This is stupid,[/i] Varis said inside of that head with his in that same little pompous tone he always spoke with. Slowly, Varis placed his short sword back into its scabbard that was situated on Varis' left on his hip before taking a seat on the stool behind him, not minding the "ally" he sat next to, staring at the rather unusual party, his eyes wandering over the various characters that were soon to become his "ally." When his eyes found themselves on the drow, his eyes lingered on her as he began to assess her -- as he did with various other people he had met before. [i]I've found myself allied with a useless elf, a morally-screwed drow, a human who has anger issues, a short dwarf, a cocky archer, a goblin who thinks he's a dragon, and a halfling...[/i]

Varis turned around to face the counter top, balling up his right hand in a fist as he laid his head to rest on it. [i]... And I'm doing this to get a bearing of my surroundings...[/i] Varis' eyes darted over to the corner, looking over at the dwarf for a short while before they returned to continue gazing at the wooden counter. [i]... Buying a map means I wouldn't have to deal with this crap.[/i] His eyes then darted over to the corner of his eye socket once more, this time only to gaze at the cocky marksman for a few seconds before returning back to gaze at the wooden counter top once more. [i]And a few people in this group likely wants to kill me...[/i]

"Water," Varis shot out at the bartender who took a few steps over to the half-elf. The sudden and quickly reply that came out of Varis, which didn't even warrant a look or a glare at the bartender from him, merely caused the bartender to shrug once more before bringing a cup of water and a pitcher of the same, clear fluid to him. Now, instead of gazing at the wooden counter top -- which Varis had found to be boring -- he now glared at the clear fluid as it sat in its cup that was made out of some sort of clay. 

Varis' gaze remained on the clear fluid for a few more seconds before his eyes once again darted over to the corner, only to find its place on the tall human this time -- the one who had clear anger problems. His eyes then shifted back once more to where it once was originally as he stared into the cup of water, deep in thought. Varis wasn't thinking about his mission on hand, nor was he thinking about the job that he and his... "allies" were now to undertake and complete. He was now thinking about the group.

Varis, even though he had been brutally trained from childbirth by some assassin who had killed his parents -- which he still has yet to forgiv the man for that posthumously -- in the art of stealth and steel, was unsure if he could take some of the people on in this fight. Sure, his "father" may have taught him how to fight with various weapons which varied from the sword to the dagger, but his training mostly focused on stealth and the art of silent killing -- which couldn't really be called an [i]art[/i]. Varis had no advantage with some of these people here one-on-one, but what advantage he did have against these so-called allies of his would be when nightfall would come and sleep would overtake them. Of course, Varis was merely thinking ahead for himself. Clearly, with such a group full of... different races, there were bound to be problems ahead, problems that he could easily avoid if he just up and left the group.

But for some odd reason, he didn't want to.

For some odd reason, instead of leaving this horrible group that were full of equally horrible people -- at least in Varis' eyes -- he wanted to stay. Varis raised his eyebrow at his cup of water as weirdly intrusive thoughts entered his head, but began to preoccupy himself as he began to make a list. It was a list that held a bit of importance inside of Varis' head, a list that he had made to list his allies from order of greatest to least in one subject.[hider=List][list][*]Weird, stupid goblin
