"Well Dernin's sounds like a good place to eat, but I do have to admit that Hindel's sounds intriguing. I've never had a chicken on a stick or a fizzy drink and I'd rather try one, especially since we might not get the chance again. What do you suggest Isuzu? You did live here, after all."

Isuzu smiles at Percival as she mulls over his question, "that is a difficult choice to make... both are excellent, Dernin's Bistro is hard to beat and did come highly recommended to us by a superior office and it is rather close about a block away down Galifar Lake Way so I think we should go there. Perhaps there is something he wants us to see or try, so it would bad manners to disappoint don't you think? And we can save the chicken on a stick and a fizzy drink on way back through when our mission is complete. As well I am sure Kora still wants to get a tattoo with me so we only have so much time before we have to get back to the ship."
Dernin‘s Bistro is a beautiful two-story restaurant that seems to be about half full when you arrive. The front gate of the restaurant has a woman standing by a podium, long blonde hair, green eyes, pointy ears poking from inside her hair.
”Welcome to Dernin’s, table for six (6)?”
You can smell the delicious locale dishes, and see the smiles on the patrons faces.

(Rewind to Isuzu and Percival's last interaction...)
Kora looks between the two of them as Isuzu blushes prettily and Percival fumbles with his denials. Oh? she thinks. Oh."Oooohh..." she says out loud. And then she smiles widely. And gives Percival a friendly fist thump to the shoulder.
Later, she double takes when Isuzu says, As well I am sure Kora still wants to get a tattoo with me."Oh, ho. No. I will gladly accompany you, if you need someone to hold your hand, but I'll not be marking my body. We are sisters already, and ink will not make it moreso."
When they arrive at the restaurant, she will answer the long blonde elfin woman (after a long appraising look (!)), "Yes, six, if you would be so kind."

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. I love it so.
Percival notices the way Kora is looking at him and Isuzu. "Stop that. This is nothing of that sort." Although, she is pretty and she takes a liking to me. Still, this is the middle of a war. No time for courtship and my mother didn't raise me to take a woman's virtue and cast her aside.

Isuzu looks at Kora slightly confused, "I do not understand, you are saying that is it not a custom for those in the same unit to get tattoos as a sign of faith and fidelity? I am happy to be your battle-sister no matter what the price. Or is it because I am new to the unit and as the youngest, it is a rite of passage I must perform alone with you to bear witness. And again, what embarrassing parts? Please forgive my ignorance, that why up until now I have often stayed apart and remained so silent! I did not wish for you to see what an inept fool that I am. But I feel like I should trust you... you would not lead me astray, would you?"
OOC: Sorry I just could not resist this conversation to not respond to it...
The hostess will lead you to a table out on the patio on the second floor, enough seating for all and a pleasant view as well. She lays down six (6) menus on the table and says, “Your waiter will be right with you. Please look at our wine list, we have some rare vintages. Also, don’t forget to ask about the military discount.”
With that she will smile and walk away, back down the stairs and past the two other tables that are occupied up here. Both have a pair of humans seated, and both are engrossed with their meals and conversations to notice a small squad of soldiers come upstairs.
You will notice that the menu has the House Ghallanda Seal of Inspection, meaning that though this isn’t a House Ghallanda restaurant, it is at least inspected by them and holds true to Ghallanda standards.

((OOG I’m all for it lol I like the idea of y’all trying to figure out who you are and what your relation is to each other. Also the reason I haven’t sped this up with you get your food, get you ink, get some chicken and are back on the ship. Also, this is it. From here on out you’ll be working non stop. So a nice time on the lakeside, enjoying each other’s company seems fitting lol And Eberron feels very Final Fantasy VIII like to me. I am imagining all of at Zell’s hometown of Balamb lol that’s just me though...))

She stops to think a moment, to give this the seriousness with which Isuzu is asking it. "I have seen old soldiers, grizzled and grey, with their bodies marked. Some have scars, some have ink, many have both. Their experiences are told on their skin, but also in the way they carry themselves, and through their eyes you can see it written on their souls. All of these, and none of these make a warrior. I choose not to mark my skin, not because I think it ugly, or foolish, but to leave a map where fate and Shali can mark my journey. Already I have one scar," she motions to her ribcage, "Where a training blade slipped its muzzle. It may not be a mark of glory, but it is my journey, marked. But this is my choice. I hope you can trust me, because I would not lead you anywhere, Isuzu. Instead, I would stand by your side where you choose to go on your own."
A beat passes.

Isuzu begins to blush at the conversation now and turns away no longer interested in the topic of conversation or tattoos in general. Then pauses and turns, "apologies but I seem to remember an important task that I need to attend to so I will be unable to dine with you all this evening, perhaps another time, but thank you." Isuzu continues and makes her exit from the group until out of sight then will pass her time exploring the vessel a bit and dining alone onboard, not leaving the ship... then later she will return to their shared cabin to bed down for the night.
((OOG Oddie... this music... I freaking love it! I listened to that one song earlier like five times at work today. Seriously, perfect fit... and awe :-/ Isuzu is going through it. Poor thing. ))

Thanks, I love Ruelle's music, really the only singer these days that I am really, really into at all, otherwise I stick to basically 70's and 80's music like Fleetwood Mac, Blondie, and host of others from that time period. And that particular song is my favorite of all her stuff and the song here above in this post is a very close second!
"I say we hit Dernin's, then Yoko's Oh Nos and then Hindel's on the way back to the ship!"
Once seated at their table Kashkaval's mage hand will start doodling tattoo ideas on a scrap of parchment while they discuss what to eat.
Not only is this a representation of chaos, but also can be seen as a compass indicating the travel he's done and is doing both personally and for the war, and on top of that there are 8 points - one for each of us in Greywind - Kashkaval, Kora, Isuzu, Johnathon, Percival, Sylrie, Winehand and Sarge
Sylrie takes his seat next to the others, "Sad that Isuzu had to leave, but I'm so ready to have some..." Sylrie opens the menu and points at a random thing, "Trout...with Orange Saffron Sauce." he then nods accepting of his decision and sets his menu back down. As he does so he see's Kashie's Mage Hand going to town on a scrap of paper. "That's not bad Kashie, that spell has such utility, you think maybe you could teach me how you do that?"
She's a little morose on the way to the restaurant, but perks up at the hostess, then again a little morose when they end up at a table for five. "That looks nice," she says distractedly at Kashkaval's doodling. "Very pointy."
Where would Greywind like to go?
