Untaimed lands

Charles looked puzzled but curiously looked at the bow and quiver "i know the bow was the hunter who came in about a moon ago but as told ye before he was careless and was killed by a boar the quiver ive never seen a material that its scaly and rough but durable and looks so amazing" Charles ran his hand over it "it feels like rock from a deep mine"

charles now was curious he looks trinity "leafborn clan that is your clan I beleave well then how is it Hermaus came across it " he looks worried then explains "well he came in with it to first ask me to buy it from him when I refused he then asked if he could work for some coin I asked him if he was a hunter since he had the bow and he replied yes he was keen so he went out and did it for a week till one day he didn't come on time and I went out to look for him and found his body with a boar tusk in the chest so I gathered his bow and quiver to keep If any one came looking for him but since your need are greater oh and he had this ring " it was a black band ring with a serpant head made of emerald

Flyn accepted the food with an eager smile and a nod and was for now put at ease about the guards by the dwarfs words. He munched on the delicious hot bread spread with goat cream cheese and butter and is innards were overtaken by the spreading of a comforting and fulfilling warmth that made him feel so good. It had been cold traveling the night before, but he hadn't quite realized just how much since he was consistently moving and walking forwards, barely without any rest because of his eagerness to find a place to buy food and much - needed supplies. The food was so delicious he was distracted by the smell and taste so much that he did not notice the dwarf walk back to the counter and pour the mead until the dwarf had placed it on his table. Listening to him, he nodded in understanding and took a swig as the dwarf retreated back to the kitchen. He could understand. He was surprised that guards of the king himself would be so rude. Or was the king just as bad as well - ?
Flyn didn't know too much about royalty. He had been traveling so long now pompous people of high station had not interested him in the slightest.
Eating slowly and now very contentedly, he suddenly jumped as he heard a thud, and saw the hooded women who had walked in earlier kneeled on the floor just outside of the kitchen, her blond hair hanging down the sides of her face. Startled as he looked in the direction where she had been seated at her table eating only minutes ago, he was just about to go and help her up when the dwarf came out and led her back into the kitchen.
Now terribly confused, Flyn stared in the direction of the kitchen for a few moments before turning around and going back to munching on his bread. He had only been here maybe half an hour to an hour and already he was confused as to what was actually going on. She had looked like she may be frightened, but it seemed that, whatever the problem was, the dwarf seemed to be tending to her.
He was so hungry that while this loaf was delicious, by the end of it he still felt a hole in his stomach. Even just one day had made him absolutely starving.
Suddenly, he stopped in the midst of his thoughts. The image in his mind of the hooded lady fallen on the ground with her hair falling over her face came into his mind again. He thought of how frightened she looked.
Those men...the guards that had come in just before - was it her they were after...?

Charles smiled " well thanks you im Charles Ironfuse of the stonehammer clan of ashstone mountains my father was king Bolgren Ironfuse the 4th king of ashstone mountain he tried to force me to marry a women called Bethelda the Large but I couldn't for I love another we ran off in to the hills but the kings guard followed us aventualy ambushing us in the middle of the night they tied me up to a tree as they bruttaly bashed and raped my poor Aylth they murderd her infront of my eyes and left me out there to die " tears came to his eyes. "if I could I would kill them all but I choose not to cause vengeance is a dark road none want to travel" he wiped his tears away "right then lassie I have an order for you 4 legs of venison 15 rabbits 4 deer pelts and 4 bunches of both thyme and wild spring onions as well as 6 large ginger roots and a sack of wild snow berrys and black mushroom "

"You're so giving with you're resources, sir" spoke the argonian. "I am much obliged. If the rest of the town is just as friendly as you I think I should be very happy to stay on longer - term. Another mead would be nice, and the food smells amazing I could smell it all the way from out here while you were cooking it." He took the plate and drank the last of his current drink. Mmmmm. He smelled the scent of the food and it smelt so GOOD - he took a mouthful and savored the flavor. He felt like he hadn't eaten in a week. He was still curious about the girl, but he hesitated to pry as it may not be his business - although if she was the girl and she had indeed stolen something maybe he ought...? He didn't know. He still didn't like the guards and did not really feel the want to help them with anything, regardless of whether they were workers of the king, or not.

Charles wonders back over with another pint off mead. " how is the meal " he smiles noticing the look of enjoyment on the argonian face " this mead is one of my new ones i'm testing its lint frost berry purple pepper seed and red snow berry with a hint of winter bee honey and cinnamon topped with ripe Cajun berry juice "

The argonian smiled. "I admit that I am starving, so everything tastes real good when you're as hungry as I am now" He took a sip of the new cup of mead "but I can see that you are a gifted cook as it is, this food is very, very good. The mead is delicious as well, thank you." he hesitated as he took another mouthful of food before asking "I don't know if I should be asking this...let me know if I am intruding, but - I can't help but feel that those guards that came in and the girl who just left from you're kitchen are somehow connected. I don't know why I am so curious...but I am. I feel like something big has happened right in front of me but I'm not understanding what it is...Do you mind me asking what's going on...? I feel like you know more about it than I do."

Charles looks at the argonian and leans in to whisper " it is indeed there is a bounty out on her but its false the guard was lying I was born with a gift of truth seeing and I saw that he was hiding the real reason so I have helped her out given her a job here as a hunter and a room to hide in when she isn't hunting but I am afraid of what will be her fate if she is found but please do not mention this to any one else I trust you cause I know your heart is kind ". he nods as he takes the empty pint glasses away and he wanders of to the kitchen placing down the glasses in the sink "now where did I put my pie dishes " as he trips over a stack of pie dishes knocking them all over the ground and picks him self up "ah there they are". he then picks up a few of them and places on the bench as he walks washed his hands and dryed them as he walked over to the pantry and takes out a big scoop of flour out of a sack with a mug a knob of butter a pinch of salt and Place the flour, butter and salt into a large clean bowl adding cold water to the mixture slowly from a mug near the sink filled with water Charles then proceeded to mix the mixture with his hands till it formed a dough. he then proceeded to take the dough out of the bowl and placing it on the bench which he lightly floured first and grabbed an empty mead bottle and rolled out the pastry and cutting out the pastry in to the pie dishes using a small knife. he also made shell lids for each pie as he went repeted this till all the pastry was used up.

Flyn wasn't sure what kind of an answer he was going to get or whether the dwarf was even going to tell him anything. What he DID find out surprised him, though. You couldn't have really known too much about the womans character just by looking at her because she was so covered up. You couldn't even see her face clearly. He hadn't really noticed her until she had fallen over and her hood had fallen down from off of her head. The only reason why this had sparked his interest was because it had occurred to him that she was the woman that the guards were looking for, but also because the inn keeper seemed so interested in her as well.
He was also curious. This dwarf seemed very wise. If he was correct about the woman being innocent and knew that he himself was trustworthy as well without knowing either of them from a bar of soap he must be very gifted, indeed. Either that extremely unwise to tell a stranger such a thing - but Flyn didn't believe that. He almost 100% knew that the dwarf knew what he was doing. He was feeling very compelled to stay, now. It seemed like allot was happening, his interest was peeked like no other place he had dwelled in before and he too, now thinking that if those vile obnoxious guards caught this innocent woman, feared what might happen to her.
He ate the rest of his meal in silence. He was just short of being able to finish it off - he was too full - but the meal had been amazing. He had also drunk enough to more than satisfy himself as well, as he was a responsible man and by no means a heavy drinker.
Soon he wasn't thinking clearly, for his thoughts kept drifting, and now he was struggling to keep his eyes open. He realized just how much sleep he'd lost, and sat back very slowly, pushing his plate forward a little bit away from him. He dearly wished he could fit every morsel in but it was literally impossible. His eyes only half opened, he lay back in his chair for a few minutes, resting his stomach before he made his way upstairs to bed, as he felt like it was almost impossible to move. He couldn't think over the mornings events anymore - for every time he did he drifted and his thoughts mashed together until he didn't know what he was thinking.

Flyn noticed the wave and barely nodded in response. He hadn't even put his things in his room yet, he still had it all on him. So eager was he to have a feed - when the dwarf had caught his attention, he was almost tempted to go speak to him again, but he knew he wouldn't be able to make any sense of his own words or anything that anyone said to him, so he continued on his way up to his room. Finding it, he unlocked the door, let himself in and, merely dropping his things to one side of the room, threw himself onto the bed. He hated mess and disorganization but he knew he wouldn't be able to concentrate enough in order to get everything put away. And with that - he fell into a deeep, deep slumber.

charles looked at the wolf pup and notices that the cub had green claws that glowed like magic he had seen before somewhere before " where did ye find that" he said inquisitively as he looked closer at the wolf cub and kneeled down infront of it " i swear ive seen something like " Charles eyes went white and for a moment he saw threw the wolfs eyes then he returned " it is i can not beleave it that is the spirit of the northern winds fanglore is its name"

Flyn tossed in his sleep. He began to become aware that he was not quite asleep anymore. Opening his eyes his sight was blurred. He looked out of the window and saw the sun shining in. He wondered what time it was. The bed was indeed comfortable, just like the dwarf had said. Flyn really liked this place already. The Inn was very cosy and inviting. He'd be very happy to stay here for an extended period of time.
Sitting up, he could hear people walking about outside of his door and window. Although he wasn't sure for how long he had slept - whether long or short - he felt he ought to get up now. If he slept right through the day he was not going to be able to sleep when the night came when he was supposed to sleep.
Standing up, he stretched. He was going to wake himself up by having a wash and changing out of his smelly travel - weary clothes into something else, and go and have a better more awake look at the town. Who knows...maybe he would spot a vacancy he could fill as well.
Freshening himself up, he estimated he had been asleep for a handful of hours - maybe four or five...but wasn't a hundred percent certain. He decided he would go and inquire to the Inn Keeper as to how late it was if he was still around. Making his way down the stairs, he stopped short as he heard a howling noise. Just a tiny bit startled, because it sounded like it came from directly downstairs. Was there a dog in the house - ?
Coming to the bottom room, he walked in and saw the little puppy/cub directing it's attention at the bird, another wild animal which Flyn had recognized to have seen on the girls shoulder that morning.
Walking over, he looked down at the little puppy, and then said apologetically, as he could see that there was some sort of conversation going on "Excuse me, sorry to interrupt, I just want to know if you have the time, please - ? I'm not sure how long I have slept for."

Charles turned to the the argonian and wave " ah it is a fraction past 12 high noon" charles smiled at the wolf cub " did you enjoy your sleep sir " raising his head again and facing the argonian " ive just put another batch of my mixed berry pies on but lunch service will be comeing up very shortly" charles turns to trinity as he nods at her" if you may trinity can the pup play out side while the food service is on and he can return in the evening after dinner service is closed " with this he turned to go back to the kitchen

"I really needed a nap those beds are comfortable too, thank you. Oh lovely, yes, I probably should stop for a small bite to eat before I go out - nothing too heavy though - I'm still feeling the weight of this mornings breakfast."
The argonian was going to let Charles go when he noticed as he turned towards the bar with the thought of perhaps getting a drink that there was a letter written up advertising a position in that very Inn.
Flyn held out his claw to the retreating figure "Excuse me sir, before you go, I just saw your letter...do you still need a helper? I was just about to go out and look for a job right after lunch. I would be happy to work here and help you, if you are willing to try me."
