Zhar'Ryk looked over at the tavern with a snort of smoke and small embers which burnt away when they hit the air. [color=9e0b0f]"Go raibh maith agat. Lun yuk, juki heu."[/color] Looking back at the shifter he gave a light nod before venturing over there, hopefully walking away with some kind of job. It didn't take long for the ancient dragon to make his way to the front door of the place. The door itself was rather small but that was a normal occurance for Zhar'Ryk. He ducked down and entered, quickly seeing that he towered over many. Upon entering he had gotten many looks; some filled with hostility, some more of fear and others were a mix. But overall there was definitely tension in the air. "Hey there, sir! Take a seat anywhere you like." He gave a quick smile to the bartender as he made his way over to an end seat by himself and withdrew a small emerald and placed it on the table. [color=ed1c24]"One round for the fellows at the bar. First one's on me."[/color] One man had given him a disgusted look and got up, slamming a piece of silver on the table and stormed out, the rest grinned and raised their glasses to him. "So, whadda havin." Asked the bartender as he made his way over to him, a big grin on his face as he took the emerald and placed it in the sack that hung from his waist. Zhar'Ryk shrugged and clicked his tongue as he shook his head. [color=9e0b0f]"Something good will do."[/color] "I gotcha." The bartender moved off down to the end of the counter and began to poor him a glass of lager. As he returned Zhar'Ryk looked out towards the door and spoke. [color=9e0b0f]"What was his problem?"[/color] "Who's problem? The one who walked out?" Zhar nodded. "Well, he's been bugging me to turn this bar into a human only bar and I won't do it because I need the business. I've got a bunch of you guys and gals coming in and out of this city and a lot of people think this tavern is pretty top notch so they wanna stop by and see what the hubbub is about." He started picking up a few glasses as Zhar'Ryk cocked his head to the side, listening intently. [color=9e0b0f]"But I don't see how this brings me and all the other....."non-humans" into this."[/color] "I was getting to that. First he was evicted from his apartment because some high elf raised his rent and he couldn't pay for it and then he goes and gets robbed by some Halfling thief. If you ask me, he has some shit luck but he now has this idea that anyone who isn't human is scum and shoulnt even be in this part of town or at least from what I hear from him time to time the city which is kinda comical since their are some high elves and whatnot in the government." [color=9e0b0f]"So because of that he couldn't handle a simple gesture of kindness from one?"[/color] The bartender shrugged. "Beats the hell outta me. I would've been happy with it. But the sad thing is-" He gestured for Zhar'Ryk to lean in closer, which he did. "I heard that he had started a small group who plan on driving as many of the non-humans as possible, which would put a major dent into my business, ya know." He nodded. Zhar'Ryk grinned. [i][color=9e0b0f]'Finally, something to do.'[/color][/i] [color=9e0b0f]"I could look into it if you want. See what information I can dig up."[/color] The man's eyebrows rose. "Really? I-I-I don't know what to say. I'll pay ya for your troubles and the drinks on me." [color=9e0b0f]"Yeah no worries. Just I need to know if you hard anything about where he now sta-"[/color] He was quickly knocked off the barstool by a bottle to the side of the head. The bartender reeled back as the current occupants stopped their chatter. From the ground he shook his head, bits of glass flew from out of his hair as he brought a hand up to feel his head. As he pulled away, he could see crimson on his glove, ever so slowly dripping off of it. [color=2e3192]"You subclasses need to get the hell out of our city! You cause us nothing but trouble!"[/color] The yelling was quickly followed up with the sounds of others jeering at him. He looked over and saw six others behind him. [color=9e0b0f]"I didn't do anything to you. So why do you attack me."[/color] Zhar'Ryk's tone was going from a simple question to more of anger. [color=0054a6]"Because all of you do nothing but take and take and never give anything back in return except violence and lies!"[/color] Zhar'Ryk slowly got up, killer intent present on his face. As he stood fully erect, he turned to the man, wide eyed in anger as he quickly heaved the man off the ground with minimum effort and thrusted him into the wall by the collar of his shirt. [color=9e0b0f]"Violence! Lies! Like what your doing and saying right now!? You don't know violence! I was doing nothing but offering to by you and the other guests a drink out of sheer charity! Not to show off wealth! But your stupid "Human" mind wanted to think otherwise."[/color] The man's eyes widened as his friends tried to shake Zhar'Ryk off of him but he would not budge. [color=9e0b0f]"And then you go about breaking a glass over my head for nothing!"[/color] He removed him from against the wall and to the door way. He raised the human up and over his head with the intent of chucking him through the door and onto the street but that was short lived as one of the non-human hating allies came up from behind and tackled him into the door way and out onto the street where another five were waiting for him, blades drawn. As Zhar'Ryk stumbled out onto the street, he twisted his body and bent back, narrowly avoiding a blade that might have taken off his head. Twisting back, he grabbed hold of one of the anti-creature protestors and chucked him up into the air and down the street, sadly, in the path of his shifting friend he met not too long ago. He then came to a thud on the ground where he began to fight off the one who now dogpiled him. It didn't take long but after they were off of him he rolled back and stood up a good 10 feet away from them, unhitching Strunmah from his back as he did so. Once he was up, he let strunmah free fall to the ground, the tip of the blade causing a slight tremor and rater into the ground, causing a few of them to flinch.
