"Well then, I'd suppose it'd be best that we start makin' our way." Aera snorted, her eyes bemusedly lingering on the riled up Templar. She took Youhei's arm and led him forward, mostly for his sake than hers--it'd be strange to see a man walkin around at night by himself, but dismissed once they saw who was on his arm-- and led the group to the local tavern.

It wasn't much but an oversized shack itself, but the atmosphere was contagious and widespread. Once Aera walked in, she was greeted with multiple hollers and greetings which quickly tapered off once the gleaming Templars stepped into the bar. Aera waved her hands up, sheepish grin painted on her features as she got comfortable on a rickety barstool, and she merely said, "They're here to investigate the happin's round here. No harm, no foul, i'll keep an eye on 'em..." she dwindled off as she poured the contents of her bag onto the bar table, for all to see. "I've got some nibbles here that'd probably taste lovely in that kettle of yours, Nan'. Mind firin' up that thing and gettin some chili cookin'?"

As Aera expected the folk were pleased upon the sight of a gun, knowing that it must've been taken from someone not worth having it, and with the presence of food, be it canned or fresh, they were even more elated. The rag-tag band went back to picking their strings and howling out their tunes, and the booze was passed out with even more fevor than before. The red-haired woman then motioned for her companions to join her, and took the time to inform them as to why it was so festive around here. "It's not always like this. You just missed out on a wedding, so they're still celebrating it a day after. Traditions and all, but enjoy yourself and enjoy the booze....cept you, cutie." she motioned to Youhei, "You owe me a drink, eh?" a mischievous twinkle settled in her eyes, as she playfully nudged him, but the glint of armor that caught her eye soberly reminded her of her other companions. "Oh, right. Well then, Mr. knights, ask your questions. I promise I'll answer them as best I can, I suppose."
