Alexis smiled at Velai's flirting, even if it was short-lived due to the man's advances towards the bartender. When he turned his attention to her, she looked at the man she was confronting in confusion as he spoke to her like she was a child, calling himself a Dragon while putting his head on the bar as if merely interacting with her was too much trouble for him. As he spoke, she reluctantly put the gems she'd picked out back in her bag, sighing quietly before speaking to the man again. [color=696969]"Fine. I accept your favor, and thank you very much."[/color] She bowed her head slightly as she thanked him, before she jumped at a sudden noise as one of the patrons jumped up onto his table and started shouting about the group attacking the borders and mocking the dragonslayers of Fotia. He must've overheard her talking about her fears of traveling right now.

After the other man took care of the drunkard, she turned to address him as he asked about if the army was from Nero. [color=696969]"I've heard that they're an army of rogues, not loyal to any country. Though I can see why it'd make sense to think they were from Nero..."[/color] After she finished speaking, she started thinking about what these men's names were. She was pretty sure this one, the less flamboyant of the two men, was Soron, but as she continued to listen to the conversation she gained no clues to the other one's name.

[color=696969]"I didn't know they only fight at night though."[/color] Alexis sighed before continuing. [color=696969]"If I'd known that I would have just waited in the last town for morning before coming here, instead of traveling through the night like an idiot."[/color] She shook her head at herself, crossing her arms as she did.

More conversation passed, and then she was surprised again. She laughed slightly as the dragon-man stood and feigned drunkenness, buying the whole bar a drink before dropping the act. [color=696969]"Sir, you might have a problem. You've been a bit too giving for a stranger, and now I'm convinced you're secretly some kind of serial murderer."[/color] She smiley jokingly at him as she spoke, but her words did hold some truth. Never, in all her life, had she encountered anyone who was so gratuitous. It may be an effort to be liked wherever he goes, but the way he was going about it now would raise some suspicion in almost anybody. 

As he began to dictate a letter to his companion, Alexis finally learned the Dragon-man's name. Suleykaar. Suleykaar the suspicious dragon-man. She watched as Soron whistled, and a small dragon came through the door. She took a few steps back as the little dragon came near, nearly crashing into another random patron as she watched the creature land on Soron's shoulder. He spoke to the creature in some language she'd never heard before, and then disappeared for a moment to send the little dragon on its way. After he came back her curiosity started to get the better of her, and she started asking the two men each question she'd thought of in the last two minutes.

[color=696969]"What language were you just speaking? And how did you get a little dragon? Does the little dragon have a name? Who even are you guys, writing to a king just like that?"[/color] She shook her head at herself again as she realized that last question was a bit too rude. [color=696969]"Nevermind, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be sticking my nose where it doesn't belong. My name is Alexis, by the way."[/color] 

She looked over to the door as a couple of girls walked in. The entire bar's attention seemed drawn to the Seraphim/Dragon duo as they walked over to a table in the corner, but Alexis was able to pull her eyes away after just a second, instead looking over at Velai. [color=696969]"Since he's payed already, may I have another cup of that Crimson Tree Sap please?"[/color]
