Jeonbae took another sip out of his glass as Chu and Aksaja both grabbed their drinks, the two talking to each other briefly. The former sighed, and turned back to Jeonbae.

''Say, does it explain why those guys walk around the city like they are on their job?'' he asked, referring to the hunters. Jeonbae nodded.

"Most likely. What my friend told me while I was out was that..." He paused, looking around nervously before continuing. "Certain people are capturing dragons, and draining the magic out of them for use as an energy source."

"This, of course, kills them, and the older, the more energy can be extracted. My guess is the reason why we see them around the city is because they've been ordered to look for dragons and take their energy."

"We need to not start any fights, and to be as normal as possible." Jeonbae tilted the glass back, the rest of his drink draining from it. He slammed the glass on the table. 

"These hunters will go to any lengths to get a dragon in their possession. You need to be incredibly careful around them, any sign you're one and they won't hesitate." He brushed back a few strands of purple hair near his ear, showing a decent-sized scar running from the top of his ear to his jaw. 

"This is only one of them. I won't waste your time with the others, you can see where this is going."

"However, don't be scared. In the event they do capture one of us, we have the ability to fight our way out of the town and escape," he explained, smiling. His gaze softened slightly, the alcohol warming him from the inside out. He looked around the room again. More people had made their way in, Moris the bartender working on several tables' drinks. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, though a hooded figure was seated, alone, at a table, over a glass of dark liquor. Jeonbae shrugged it off.
