Elric stood for a few more moments in the lull of conversation. He gave a wave to Charlotte, "Have a good rest of the night, and give David my regards." Elric continued his stride, as he walked into the Jolly Hippogriff. It was packed as usual, and had a wide variety of individuals there, some drinking, others telling tall tales, and engaging in various humorous jests. However, Elric needed to find... 

That is when he saw a hand waving in a frantic motion, carrying a mug of something, "ELRIC! Over here!" shouted out the familiar voice. Elric strolled over towards a rather packed section of the tavern, near the front, where Samuel was sitting in on a stool, at a small table, with a variety of other gentlemen sitting down. Elric took the stool across from Samuel. 

"SO what took you so long Barber? Did ya get another customer?" He said, as he drank from his mug, as some of the ale dribbled onto his chain-mail. Elric nodded, "Yes, sorry for the wait Samuel." Samuel waved his hand, as he slammed his mug onto the table. He reached for his belt, as he pulled out a three pieces of silver and put them on the table. Elric slid them over towards him, and placed them into the small pocket, "Thank you Samuel." Elric paused, "Say Samuel, did you talk to the chains of..." He was immediately interrupted as Samuel slammed both of his hands on the table, and gave a quick nod to the barber. "OH yes, I need to ask them! Thanks for reminding me!" 

Samuel quickly ran out of the bar, knowing that he needed to confirm the ability to get some time off. Elric paused for a moment, getting up. He glanced around, checking to see how busy the various servers were. Which was to say, yes, they were still busy. Hm, well a sight perked Elric's attention. Yet, it was rather odd, usually he was here as well. [i]Well I guess I should ask.[/i], Elric made his way up the stairs, where he had saw Corinne earlier. 

"Hello Corinne, lovely night isn't it?"
