“Criminal how?” Lucina would ask without thinking, then it hit her that she probably shouldn’t pry, her cheeks burning in embarrassment. “N-never mind! Don’t answer that. It’s not my place to ask, sorry. Um... I’m glad you were able to escape though!” She laughs a bit nervously, her eyes looking everywhere else but Belial. “But truth be told, other aasimar aren’t that great. N-not to say you guys aren’t great! But the ones I’ve met have either been snobbish or full of themselves or an awful mixture of the two. Except my mom. She’s been through a lot but she’s very humble and loving... to me anyways.” She clarifies, not realizing the effects of the tea had made her more chatty than she normally is.
Though, she’s taken aback at Belial’s compliments. “Thank you? I, um, you’re pretty too! Well, all of you are pretty!” She’d say aloud to the group, but then shushes up a bit so that only those around her could hear. “Except the dwarf. He’s not ugly but his mannerisms could use some work. My mother would whip him into shape if given the chance that’s for sure.”

Belial is glad that Lucina walked back her question about her parents. And she finds it kind of cute how the tea was making her so chatty. "Don't be so nervous, you're doing fine." She laughs when she brings up the Dwarf. "He is pretty bawdy, isn't he? And he's always flirting with us." Then she turns to Blade, offering him a cup as well. "You've been pretty quiet so far, why don't you tell us about yourself?"

Eilian looks up and the dwarf and the centaur approach. His eye brighten upon hearing the word Douven.
"You knew Douven? I always wondered what happened to him! He had questions about the old burial site southwest of the village. Thought a dragon might be buried there! I told him it was probably just an old trash heap, but he wouldn't hear of it, no sir! Well, of course I gave him directions to the place. I am something of a historian of the area, you know! Oh yes, Douven! Well, he took my directions, and we haven't seen him since. I do hope the poor man is all right!"
Eilian pens a small map showing the way to the burial site.
Camilla took a seat and observed. They seem like nice people so far. Quite the variety of personalities. Not to mention is was nice to use my healing abilities again. The first time I just wanted to have a normal life. I got anything but that. What do I do now? Do I put myself, and others, in danger again? What if i'm not capable? What if i'm not good enough? Camilla looked up from her thoughts and ordered food and drink. She spent her time eating slowly, as if suddenly unsure of something. Remembering something, she looked at the stew.
"I hope this doesn't have any mushrooms in it.."she said to herself.
Caim, whose curiosity had been piqued, trails the others to the corner table and watches as Eilian pens the small map, shooting a look across the room over to Alia while raising his eyebrows. "A dragon, you say? Well, that sounds like something we should absolutely investigate," he says in a much too loud voice, a toothy smile spreading across his face. "Wouldn't you agree, dear sister?"
Blade sits quietly in a seat with the party, not really speaking. When food and drink comes around, he goes to take off his helmet, letting his black fall out as he sets the helmet on the table. Very handsome, even for a half-angel, it's a haunting beauty as his skin holds an Ashen-White color. However, his vibrant violet eyes seem to break from this as they glance at Belial, ".....nothing to tell. Why does it matter?" He accepts the cup from her, bowing his in thanks.
Belial shrugs. "I just wanted to get to know you better. We're going to be traveling together, I figured that we should know you as more than just the armored dude that doesn't talk."

Blade looks deep into Belial's eyes, clearly not fully sure if her words were honest, however after a moment his gaze flickers and he looks back at his drink, "...nothing wrong with that...thank you for your kindness."
Fauna watches as Eilian draws the map, thinking for a moment before she speaks hesitantly, almost worried about the answer she would get. "Did he mention meeting someone else on his travels? Someone named Aristonius Zym? Or perhaps he mentioned being followed?" Her ears fold back nervously and she fidgets slightly, toying with her fingers. Both Caim and Sir (F-ThatName) can tell that asking the question in general seemed to worry her.

If possible, Fauna's ears droop a little more in disappointment but she nods. "Okay... Thank you anyway. If on my journey I find Douven, I'll make sure to let you know sir." She pauses for a moment in thought. "And... If... Aristonius... does come by... Or another centaur asking about me, Fauna... Could you give him this?" She digs into her pack and retrieves a small scrap of paper, handing it to Eilian. It seems to be written an interesting type of Sylvan.
I've been searching for you for a while now. They sent me out on expedition when you didn't return.
I'm hoping to find Douven on my journey. You're messages hidden throughout his path lead me to believe you are with him. If not following after him.
I will keep hope and continue searching for you no matter what. If you see this... Please contact me. I miss you.
Your daughter, Fauna
Fauna then looks to Sir F-ThaName before down at the floor in thought. "I have finished asking my questions. We can return to the group when you are ready Mister."

Blade silently drinks the rest of the cup, then gazes at the rest of the party. His brood remains constant, and his gaze doesn't move much, not really focused on anyone, more into the distance. "Did it hurt?....when you fell?" Out of seemingly nowhere, he quietly asks Belial, still looking into the distance as he does.
"Fell...from what?" Asked Belial, who was now getting really weirded out by Blade, especially since he wasn't even looking at her. She glanced at Lucina and anyone else who was sitting nearby, hoping that they would say something and get her out of a conversation that had now become awkward.

Blade looked over to her, slightly surprised, "...were you born a Fallen?... Apologies, that was rude of me. I didn't mean to assume." This time his voice actually does change a little, sounding genuinely sorry.
With a sudden pop, one of the lenses in Camilla's glasses shattered - most likely due to the horrible conversational attempt that was going on with Blade and Belial. She took off her glasses and looked at the lens. "Aw, man.."she quietly moaned. "I just got these fixed, too."
"Hmmm." Alia says thoughtfully. "What place do you think is most likely to have news of a sage?"
