Alakai was glad that Kali took the lead. He was fine in parties and during their levelling. But social gatherings of this kind had always been his nemesis. In fact, he had only ever gone to one in his entire life. The man sat down beside his friend, and once they were offered drinks Kali started on introductions first. Though she kept it to superficial things. In fact, it was only game related things at that. Which was probably a good way to go about it for now.

"Well, as I just said, I'm Alakai, a monk." He started a little shyly once she was finished. "I picked cooking as profession because, well, it was one of my few hobbies outside of gaming that I had before all this. I've been playing since early beta, and know quite a bit about the game you could say." Right as Alakai was finished the youngest looking guild member raised his hand as if he wanted to ask a question. "Say, Um...I'm Helm, a Bard and Joan's younger brother." That immediately explained his younger appearance as he didn't look older than 14. "I was wondering...since your name is Alakai, are you that [i]famous[/i] Alakai my brother keeps talking about? The guy from that top raiding guild in WoW said to be the master planner and raid leader for all of their raids?" Alakai suddenly perked up, his eyes looking at the boy in surprise. Sure he used the same name, but one of the reasons he started playing Elder Tale was to start anew. He didn't like all the attention his old guild in WoW had been getting. Even if it was just a bit of renown for being a top guild.

At that point a red-faced Joan came running towards his younger brother, smacking him up the head. "S-shut up bro! I-I don't talk about him that much! And a guy like that would never be here!" Alakai sighed, deciding that lying would get him nowhere anyway. Especially if they were going to join this guild it would come out sooner or later. "Ah...w-well...I guess I am...I'm not that great though, really..." He told the brother, feeling like he was getting too much praise for just being good at planning ahead. Though Joan's reaction was amusing to say the least. He stared shocked at Alakai, as if he had just seen his idol or something. "You...are?!" Joan finally exclaimed, still unsure of what to make of the situation.

It wasn't until June came from behind and smacked Joan on the back before he came to his senses. "Yo Joan! Stop staring and sit down okay? We're here to drink after all!" Joan cleared his throat, taking a deep breath and sitting down. "Well...uh...yea let's drink." Clearly the guy was embarrassed enough already about what had just happened, so Alakai at least decided forget about it and just move on. He didn't want that kind of attention anyway.
