As three sits in a chair, he asks "What's the deal with you guys. What made the "all mighty queen" call upon you guys rather than some experienced mercenaries or something."
Seria slipped from the shadows to rejoin the group at Mummy's Meet. She had been observing them from a distance to judge whether they made a good team or not. She sat in the table with them. "Hello friends, how have we been doing." She said in the most casual tone ever as if nothing was at risk in the crisis at hand. Then answered the question.
As three sits in a chair, he asks "What's the deal with you guys. What made the "all mighty queen" call upon you guys rather than some experienced mercenaries or something."
"She didn't call on me, I volunteered..." She replied. "I guess I am an experienced mercenary, but I wouldn't have been the first one who was called."
Rohar is not sure what shawarma is (Neither does Nontyper, just sayin) but she has to assume it is better than what she usually had. Oatmeal and bread with water. "Thank you so much Yurime, I can't wait to try it."
When the waitress comes back, Rohar pulls out one of the coins given to her and asks the waitress. "Can I get a beer... Oh, and a wine?" She looks at Khaddim. "Want to try a beer or wine with me.. I've never had one."
She looks at Three after the waitress hopefully goes to get her drinks. "I have no idea why I was chosen. Soldiers came and took me from my masters quarters this morning." With a huge smile on her huge face. showing more teeth than most people could fit in their mouths, she continues. "And now Im gonna have a beer.. Can you believe it?" In a more serious tone. "I am not even sure what I have been chosen for. I know I am supposed to work with you guys, And you all seem so smart, so I am just trying to stick around and figure it out."
As three sits in a chair, he asks "What's the deal with you guys. What made the "all mighty queen" call upon you guys rather than some experienced mercenaries or something."
As the ever-peckish Kumiho awkwardly sits on her creaking, wooden chair, she hears a question from the Tiefling that even she herself struggles to explain. "I'll be honest with you, I wasn't expecting to be summoned by the queen on such short notice" she replies, pouting a little. "One day I returned to my little shelter after an exhausting day at my temple and found a rolled-up paper on my makeshift bed with a texture I've only started getting used to.All it said was: 'Come to the Pharaoh's temple tomorrow for a very important meeting. Your abilities will be most valued by your royal highness, Kheprina.' and that was it. No briefing. No details about anything whatnot. Just that message." (OOC: I assume the paper here is made out of papyrus)

*Insert fox yelp sound effect as Yurime jolts and becomes startled by the half-elf who appears out of nowhere.* "Oh! H...h... Hi there! Uh... y... y... you're one of the fighters s... s... summoned by the Pharaoh right? N...n...nice to meet you uh... I'm... fine? H...how a...are you doing?"
OOC: Nice to see you with your character this time Anan ^^

Yurime smiles at Rohar nervously before glancing below the table at her crimson kimono to mentally reset.

Gnash shifts slightly at the flippant "all mighty queen" line but is interested enough in the question to not take the bait. He listens intently to everyone speaking then angles his head so that his eye is staring right at the Tiefling. "And what about you, why does her highness send only the third best assassin in her service on this task?"
"Ah, yes. Well, you see... she wants me dead. On past assignments, I have let some people live because I deemed them worthy of life. The queen doesn't like that, and instead of needlessly killing me, she's sending me out on this quest in hopes that I die. And if not, then yay for her, because her problem will be gone."
Gnash snorts and responds, "I've always found assassination to be distasteful but your duty is paramount. Deciding to just abandon it on a whim..." Gnash shakes his head.
"You claim they were worthy of life but once you begin making those choices for yourself then you must also accept you personally judged and sentenced all the others to be worthy of death. That is a hard burden to place upon oneself. Swords were not meant to choose where they fall."
I did not know how it was possible but somehow in this crowded tavern there was still room to be found for us to be seated. When asked what to eat miss Yurime was magnanimous enough to both order and pay for our meal. I did not object but when the meal, shawarma it was decided upon, was set before me I did not feel the pangs of hunger.
'I'm not hungry.' I said in a polite tone and moved the plate towards miss Yurime. If the noises had been any indication, she could use the meal more than I. It was at that point that I noticed out group was not six but seven people strong. Somehow someone had found their way at our table without me noticing. There was no objection: she explained herself as one who had been summoned by the queen like the rest of us but due to circumstances found herself being late to the party. The others did not mind so neither did I.
As three sits in a chair, he asks "What's the deal with you guys. What made the "all mighty queen" call upon you guys rather than some experienced mercenaries or something."
It was a fair question, blunt as it might have been. After the others gave their reasons it came to me to speak mine.
'I was told to aid she who rules the two rivers.' I mentioned dryly like that explained everything. 'So I made the journey to Altharwa to do so.'
I fell silent to watch the moral debate unfolding between Gnash and Three. It might prove illuminating, if not entertaining.
When the waitress comes back, Rohar pulls out one of the coins given to her and asks the waitress. "Can I get a beer... Oh, and a wine?" She looks at Khaddim. "Want to try a beer or wine with me.. I've never had one."
He smiled at her again. She was like a kid, in a good way, Enjoying all that she couldn't get before this mission. "I've only tasted it a few times when my masters had a party, I sneaked a few sips before bringing them to the drinks table. Be careful to not drink too much fast, I've seen what happens when someone gets drunk and it's not pretty or feels good." Said with a small laugh.
As three sits in a chair, he asks "What's the deal with you guys. What made the "all mighty queen" call upon you guys rather than some experienced mercenaries or something."
He then looked at Three now more relaxed, beeing in a tavern and beeing treated like a normal person made him feel safer. "Well, my master got the information that the Queen needed help and offer me as a warrior so he could get a better position and favors from the Queen. He has paid guards but they aren't loyal to him, just to his money, so I was his best option.
"And when did I ask to be this chosen sword? Never. I prefer singing."
Realising that their conversation could lead to animosity between Three and Gnash, he leaned foward to put himself between the two. "No one gets to choose their circumstances of their birth nor what to do in our first steps in life, but when we grow and develop we can find what we want to become and our ideals. Unfortunately sometimes our desires and ideals clash with the place that we live in and we have to either adapt to it or find a way to have a new life. But anyway, after we fulfil our mission I'm sure that all of us will obtain what we need to have the type of life we want to have." said while looking at both of them with a smile.
"She didn't call on me, I volunteered..." She replied. "I guess I am an experienced mercenary, but I wouldn't have been the first one who was called."
Now wanting to change the focus of the conversation between Three and Gnash, Khaddim immediately looked at Seria with a smile "Oh! I'm sorry, I did not see you when we were at the palace. My name is Khaddim, it is a pleasure to meet you miss...?"said leaving the space for the Half-Elf to introduce herself to the group.
"Seria, but don't call me miss. I don't deserve that title." She dipped her head a bit. "And I had to come late because I had some urgent matters to attend to at that time. " She said a bit uncertainly.
The server comes back, placing down a jug of water and ceramic plates laden with thinly cut lamb wrapped up in steaming hot flatbreads with tomatoes and onions. She takes Rohar's order with an air of skepticism, glancing back at the others before going to the kitchen and returning with a bottle of wine and a jug of beer.

The appetising scent was enough to make the nervous Kumiho return to her normal, cheerful state. Seven delicious plates of Shawarma she was looking at as her folded fox ears perk up behind her crown in excitement. "Itadakimasu いただきます!" (Meaning thank you for the food in Japanese) she responds whilst clasping her magenta hands together and smiling once again before she picks up a roll and eagerly chomps down on it.

Rohar didn't think she was hungry til the food hit the table. She tasted the food timidly at first. "Mmm, that's good." She starts eating like a wolf, cramming as much in her mouth at a time as she could get. Eating voraciously. "OH My God, that is amazing."
She sees Rashaken push his away. "You gonna eat yours?"
Distracted from his conversation by both Khaddim and then the arrival of the food Yuri ordered for everyone Gnash politely takes a plate. After a brief prayer of thanks to Heset, goddess of food and drink, he begins to eat. For a creature so outwardly feral looking, his dining etiquette is almost comically refined.
"Thank you for this generous meal Lady Hanasaki. Eat da... key... moss to you as well," Gnash says hesitantly.

She sees Rashaken push his away. "You gonna eat yours?"
The Goliath woman wolved down her meal with a ferocity I had scarcely seen before. I would be wise not to cross her.
'It is yours if you wish.' I gestured at the plate halfway between myself and miss Yurime. 'I am not hungry at present time.'
'It is yours if you wish.' I gestured at the plate halfway between myself and miss Yurime. 'I am not hungry at present time.'
"You sure? Not even a single bite?" she replies once she finished swallowing her first portion. "Ok then." She hesitantly slides the plate between herself and the evenly famished Rohar, who sits opposite to her. "You take whatever you can first, Rohar. I still have yet to finish my share."

"Thank you miss." Said with an honest smile. He then starts to eat his food calmly, tasting the food each second that passes with a little smirk of happiness. It's not everyday that he gets to enjoy this kind of food without needing to finish quick so he wouldn't get punished.

He smiled at the voracity of the giant. "Careful Rohar or you'll choke with the food. Try to enjoy every flavor so you can remember it in the future." Said laughing. He then grabbed the jug of beer to pour two cups (one for him and the other for Rohar) and raised it. "To get our freedom."
Rohar slows down as Yuri speaks to her. "You sure, it is so good I am sure I can eat it all." She doesn't really wait for an answer before digging in again. She forgets about the beer and wine until Khaddim mentions it. "Yes, to our freedom."
She takes a hugh swig of the beer......and spews it back out, (probably at Khaddim, guess he can roll a dex save). "That is disgusting. Why do people drink that?" She looks up at Khaddim. "Oh No, I am so sorry."She jumps up with a napkin to help wipe up wherever the beer went.
