[color=4bbeff]”And I would be Taric, Aspect of the Protector and the Shield of Valoran. It is pleasure to meet you both.”[/color]

They were informed that all currency was taken, though it would be easier to take gold than find out how much Jack’s currency was worth. Gold is a relatively straightforward if inflexible currency, being worth however much gold the coin contained, whereas Jacks was either exchangeable for an amount of gold in his nation or had an entirely abstract worth. Any way Taric had offered and gotten the info he asked for, so it would be rude to rescind his offer. He paid for whatever people wanted, took his drink and settled down at the one remaining empty table opposite the bar, the chair he sat in creaking under the weight of his jewel encrusted armor, imaging the others might join him. 

They were joined at the bar by a young woman who had just arrived who was wearing a belly dancer ensemble and gold jewelry. It was a quite the eye-catching ensemble but what was even more striking was her incredibly long purple ponytail. While his hair was, in his opinion, quite splendid, it paled in comparison to the newcomers mystical locks. 

Once the others orders and questions mostly taken care off Moxi turns her attention Shantae, her manner of talking is probably incredibly inappropriate when directed at a the girl, and she asked how she could help the half-genie hero. The blocky Steve turned to greet her as well while Taric spoke more with Jack.

Jack himself had what might be called a rugged aesthetic, a man who had seen may battles and survived what looked to be a number of varied injuries in the line of duty. It spoke of very dangerous city and a stalwart officer who could not be dissuaded from putting himself in the line of fire again and again till the town was safe. There was a beauty in such fierce determination, if Taric was correct in his assessment this was a man to be admired. The man himself spoke of a call from a cloud to come to the city to help deal with a crises, a virus of some sort.

[color=4bbeff]” My world and this one contain some very strange things, so i don’t think it sounds mad. I would have thought a virus would be a thing for healers not warriors, so I wonder what kind of infection needs force of arms to contain.”[/color]

Perhaps this is what the protector had guided him to the city for, summoning heroes from other worlds certainly seemed like it was something of a last resort, something that threatened them all. Also if there was a funeral where said heros were staying then it seemed like it was a dangerous task as well. The city itself and the rest of the arcade had seemed relatively peaceful so either this was a hidden threat or it was some kind of plague that needed to be contained before it spread from one world to the others? Somebody certainly needed protecting, be it the heroes themselves or entire worlds and so Taric decided that he would see if he could find out more. After breakfast.

[color=4bbeff]”As for why I am here, well, I think you have just given me my answer. Or part of it at least. Sometimes I wish the Protector was less cryptic in what a problem is before I arrived where i have been sent but I assume I was sent here by them to help deal with this virus you spoke of.”[/color]

Food was then brought by Susanne the waitress shortly after: [s]5 dozen eggs[/s] scrambled eggs, fried mushrooms and some toast for Taric.

[color=4bbeff]”If that is why I am here I look forward to fighting alongside another defender of the innocent”[/color]
