I was planning on letting some posts go by while Thelin drank but I guess I have to post now. Can Minor Ilusion create a smell? Because this tavern needs an air freshner

Thelin

Location: Crossed Swords Tavern
Interacting With: Fenmal

Thelin too made his way to the bar, fading well into the group walking with him. He was nearly invisible in the group's forest like legs. At least to him they were that way. It was one of the best parts of being a gnome who enjoyed not being seen. He quickly remembered the not so fun part of being a gnome in a town obviously not settled by his people, and that was the distance between everything. It was all so far away, maybe not for someone twice his height, but for a man of his stature and his less than 2 foot legs, it meant a lot of power walking to keep up and eventually he simply fell behind, not finding the effort to be worth his time. "Ah, would it kill you guys to slow down? Walking so fast is so... not fun." the gnome complained. He watched the group walk on and had to jog to keep up, jostling the now overly tired hummingbirds awake once more. They were displeased but flitted about until he reached the tavern, where they quickly dispersed and announced his arrival.

It had seemed he was the last of the group to arrive, at least he thought. There were so many humans around it was hard to pick the ones he knew from the crowd and that's when he saw it. An oasis in this desert of humans. Another gnome, and he seemed to be running the place. Thelin was ecstatic to say the least and climbed up a bar stool, his chin peeking over the edge of a table and he stared for a moment at this gnome. This reminder of home, his natural movements and emotions so pure, so happy. It was the greatest mix of homesickness and euphoria that even the most skilled of bards could not portray in song! He hopped up, now standing on his chair and forgetting he wasn't buying his own drink that night. "This gnome needs a drink! And it'd be a shame he drink without his kin!" he yelped. He was holding a few coins above his head and he watched as the gnome perked up and looked to him. The smiles shared across the room were one for the history books.

An unexpected turn. Ling had reached out to this group of people who obviously hated them and they responded with rejection and hatred. Ok, maybe it was a little bit expected, but that doesn't make it not rude. He had done nothing to these people but exist, and he acted without malice, yet received malice? It was unheard of, in his mind, to reject a person's offer of help like that and this moment definitely left a sour taste in his mouth that was going to linger and fester like an open unwashed wound. His first interaction being negative wasn't to be ignore. Despite all of this anger and resentment, Ling's face showed none of it. He was expressionless and cold. He stared at the forehead of the fire bender, a major chi point for most benders and imagined how a strike there would topple the man down to size. He obviously had some strong feelings toward chi blockers and Ling didn't care for any of it. He simply wanted to fit in, at least he used to. Now that he was rejected he wanted to be needed, and begged to for a helping hand. Surely they wouldn't force him to come to that point, they just needed time to adjust to him.

As the avatar left and gave him a minute alone to just look around at everyone he noticed a certain, unprofessional and low life attitude coming from the water bender. She didn't seem like she belonged, everyone was so skilled in their respective arts and she just wasn't up to the task it seemed, disinterested in helping the avatar in any way. Ling didn't like her one bit, she needed some discipline in her life and she would get it one day, but she also interested him because of this. She was like a bit of green in a desert of plainness, and it was a great relief. Maybe after the chi blockers attacked her she'd shape up. Maybe he'd ship out with them when they came, they'd be far more accepting of him than this group and both had sent him an invite. But only one promised him the ability to return home, and he wasn't one to just up and leave a job after a little bit of backlash from the co-workers. "Fine, but when the chi blockers attack and I'm the only one left standing don't cry to me. I'll let you poor excuses for warrior pick yourselves up." The words spat out of Ling's mouth like flames, if he were a bender it would have been more visible.

And the avatar returned and asked of the nation's current statuses, and the fire bender detailed attacks on the mainland which Ling was unaware of. Surprising, given his father's detailed reports, but it wouldn't be too outrageous if his father had been lying to him to keep him out of the nation. An early return to join the fight would have been disastrous for the family name after all. His father was in for an earful the second he could find ink and a parchment. "Is the Fire Nation really at that much of a risk? I've been away for quite some time now and would love to talk about this with you more in the future, Lee, was it?" Ling said. He hated this excuse for a firebender from the start, but had to fake a nice outlook on the poor fool for information. If his family had been injured in any way there would be hell to pay for those rogue chi blockers. Worse if he knew them or trained with them at one of the many temples he's visited in his time being exiled.

Ling looked back to the waterbender. She was so out of place, almost as out of place as him. It intrigued him greatly, but he kept his straight face, hiding hints at emotion or curiosity. He'd gotten quite good at the whole apathy thing, emotions had begun to take a backseat in his life as did most other people. He didn't know why and didn't care to find out at the current time. He just wanted to take his new found anger out and if he harmed anyone on this ship he'd be in over his head in his current state. He hadn't trained in a few days in preparation for his trip into and through Ba Sing Se. Too much corruption and poverty for someone to look wealthy there for too long without being scammed. He could still smell the stink of the city from the boat as it drifted away, and Ling hated it. He had high hopes for his first visit, not trusting what others said and just marching on in. Too bad his first visit ended so poorly, it spoiled his second, be it brief visit, even though he did get to meet the avatar this time.

Thelin

Location: Salarn Gate
Interacting With:Kyra, Natashia, Sundos

Thelin watched as the dire wolf walked into the darkness, not fading until it was out of the town. One of the perks of being a gnome was natural night vision, even if his vatange point was low enough that he couldn't see all too far. He let a sigh out and walked out from behind the cleric and walked up to the center of the two. "Well, I too have a personal disdain for wolf kind, the kind that can eat a gnome in one bite are a bit worse. He chuckled. His mood seemed to do a 180 now that the wolf was gone. "Now I think I could use a- Again a voice interrupted him. But he wasn't mad, as this one offered a Drink.

And with that, Thelin knew he was in love. Well, not with this girl no. He wasn't one for relationships, even the one night ones. He enjoyed the single life and his 50's were wild enough that he was ready to just explore before settling down. "Drinks are my favorite! And I don't know about you guys but I have no idea where anything is in this town. Those militia men outside weren't helpful at all. Had to sne- convince them to let me in the hard way. the gnome flexed his right arm and grabbed his bicep, or at least where a bicep was supposed to be. He let out a laugh as the hummingbird landed in his hood. Nobody, especially not a gnome, could look manly with a family of hummingbirds on his back.

The gnome did a quick look back to where the wolf disappeared to and confirmed it's disappearance. And it was in fact gone. Nice wolf it seemed, but still a wolf. Not exactly the greatest thing. Thelin looked to the ranger, then the Cleric and finally the woman asking if she could buy him a drink. I'll also take a drink from you, if you insist on treating me like a lady tonight, what was your name?" Thelin joked, poking more fun at the cleric who mistook his cloak for a feminine form. He had to crane his neck just to talk to all of these humans. He hoped he wouldn't have to get used to it but as his experience showed, most gnomes were back home and not out on the road where giant wolves could swallow them whole.
