As they were passing around flyers, Rukeewei struck up short conversations with people he knew or recognized, to give a bit more credibility to Ariel's advertisement. He was more than happy to speak to Ariel when she struck up a conversation, however. "Yes, myself and my egg-brother were hatched here. Our parents were fishermen, which made for a modest lifestyle. Certainly, both of us were used to working from a young age. It's pretty easy to tell just from appearances that this place has a lot of nobility, a lot of wealthy individuals. They are not unique in the fact that they tend to look down on the working class folk, but even so, we did alright. I still have many of my childhood friends, a few of which reside in the noble district. Neercana's family used to have a manor there, but they lost their wealth a few generations ago. Mostly, it was the mismanagement of a few bad eggs in their family, but they survived. Neer's mother opened the [i]Loom and Lapis[/i], then passed it onto Neer when she died. We've all known each other since we were hatchlings, so she and my brother just sort of fell in together. Really she was the only woman he was confident enough to speak to. For me, I just wanted to do something other than fishing for the rest of my life. I've always had somewhat of an affinity for drinks, and to a lesser extent cooking. Once I learned how to brew alcohols, making new and interesting drinks just sorta came naturally. Opening a tavern seemed like a natural choice. I took a loan like you did, then opened the [i]Wamasu's Nest[/i] with my brother." Rukeewei explained, giving a brief background of himself and the people closest to him. 

After passing out a few more flyers, Rukeewei looked to Ariel curiously. "So what about you? What was Morrowind like, and how were you drawn to alchemy? So far, the body paint you have been testing on me has been working well, so you seem to have a diverse skillset."
