[color=1BEFF2]“Yeah well looks can be deceiving…”[/color]

[color=goldenrod][i]Looks can be deceiving, huh, I like that![/i][/color] Kaleb instantly liked the guy he randomly picked to lead him to either the objective of fun or to the princess he was meant to meet up with. And if the guy was two for two, then that only proved Kaleb was just an amazing judge of character or simply the luckiest man alive within the world of Avalia. Everything had gone along smoothly so far. He was able to get most of the items he wanted, he was the sole survivor of the giant snake attack, and finally he had gotten acquainted with a hot redhead elf woman with some dashing green eyes. Oh yeah, and she simply adored his hero status!

[color=1BEFF2]“Let me guess, Princess Annya right? You a friend of Arn or is there more than one guy on a bullshit quest to find an elven princess?”[/color] Initially, Kaleb’s eyes lit up at the mention of Annya’s name, but then he raised an eyebrow at the mention of someone named Arn. From his experience, it was better to “know” as many people as possible. It gave you some footing when networking and establishing legitimacy with new people. A white lie that would just help open up a few more doors. 

[color=goldenrod]“Arn? You know that jackass? Small world huh, but yes, Annya’s the one I’m looking for.”[/color] Kaleb kept his bit about Arn short to keep from saying something wrong about the guy.

[color=1BEFF2]“A party, now that might be a good place to look. Where else would an elven royal be, just as a war was declared, than in a drunken port town at a party.”[/color]

[color=goldenrod]“As crazy as you make that sound, we both know it’s true. A spoiled brat that’s not exactly involved in the battle plans is likely just getting shitfaced to take their mind off of the world falling apart around them.”[/color] Kaleb shrugged for effect. Despite appearing to be an elf, it was clear that Bowyn wasn’t fond of the wealthier sort. [color=goldenrod][i]Social class divide! Of course that would exist here too. Never been without the green, but I have played enough roles to roll with this.[/i][/color]

[Color=goldenrod]“I mean, look at everyone else here. [i]Now[/i] imagine if they were wealthy.”[/color] He added, drawing attention to how carefree the townspeople appeared. Then Bowyn started to mention possible locations where Princess Annya might be. The Sandbar, The Shaky Dock, and the Casino were the big three and Kaleb was more than happy to explore them. 

[color=1BEFF2]“So what’s your business with this princess, elf?”[/color] Kaleb slightly winced his eyes at Bowyn saying “elf” almost as if it was meant to be demeaning. Weren’t they both elves? Perhaps he was a self-hating elf or there was a race Kaleb had not accounted for. [color=goldenrod][i]Keep up the improv KC![/i][/color] He thought as he noticed Bowyn starting off in a direction. Kaleb quickly followed Bowyn, remaining a half step behind on the fellow’s right side. There was no way Kaleb was going to lead the way. Not yet at least.

[color=goldenrod]“I’m not going to insult your intelligence. There’s only one reason why anyone might be looking for [b]her[/b] after what’s occurred in the past couple of days. When it comes to hitting those shithead Dark Elves where it hurts, she’s the one to talk to. She’s responsible for bringing in the…”[/color] Kaleb took a moment to check his surroundings. No one was too close to overhear him if he whispered, and so he spoke. [color=goldenrod]“...humans. Those capable of manipulating the forces of nature as if it’s [i]second nature[/i].”[/color] He was quite proud of that last bit and even smiled to himself. 

[color=goldenrod]“And what might your reason be for searching for the princess? No one just volunteers to help find someone out of the goodness of their heart these days. Wait, don’t tell me Arn dragged you into this. I hope he’s paying you well at least.”[/color]
