Alric douses the bird in some water hoping that the smoke will die out.

 Anson walks in and watches this. He lets out a sigh and brings over some tinker's tool "What did you manage to do?" he asked, little on the impatient side

 Alric looks over at him and sighs. "I honestly dont know. I was trying to fix the singing mechanism and then it broke."

 Anson sighed "Im no dwarf but i do work with mechanic's" he said, inspecting the bird

*Im on for a little :]*

Anson was outside, he was humming while using his hands to do something better then pickpocket the tavern's patrons. He had some woodcarver's tool's next to him while working on whittling a thick log

Lore was being her usually self, being the cause of many headaches in the tavern. she was sitting in the rafter's having a spot of breakfast while watching the tavern-goers. occasionally she would drop down a gold coin on the table below her but often it was a fake.

Allison was outside. She was walking around in the forest, getting in her morning exercise. 

 Ettor sneaks up on Lore and made some scratching sounds on the wood behind her.

 *:D ettor be back!!*

She turns her head and gives a small wave. "Well howdy" she said even though it was clear she wasnt southren

 "Oh, dang it, you didn't get startled. Oh, well, hello to you, too." Ettor levitated next to her on the rafter beam and sat down.

 "Now what in the realms are you?" she asked, raising an eyebrow  "I've seen most things, but your a new one". she leaned forward, about 3 inches away from his neck and sniffed him "You smell like a living thing though, so you aren't a lich or a undead"

 "Correct! I'm a human, but I can't die at all!"

 "So a immortal then" she said with a grin "Lucky duckling"

 "HA! I wouldn't really consider myself lucky, being immortal is kind of boring most of the time."

 "I would love to be immortal. Never aging but also being able to see empires rise, grow old, and then fall. To be there for important moments in future history. To write it all down so one day people know what life was like right in the here and now"

 "Oh, so you like collecting knowledge? Would you like to hear a story, then?"

 "Of course, from a old timer such as yourself" she said with a small chuckle

 He chuckled and cleared his throat. "Once there was a boy, a young one, no older than 12, and one night, he had a dream, a dark, shadowy dream. In that dream, he met an ancient god-like being, and the being offered him immortality in exchange if they could use his body to revive themselves. This god-like being was an ancient god of destruction and despair called Equinox. Equinoc was thought to have been destroyed in a long-forgotten war between gods. Anyways, the boy accepted the offer, and many years passed by as the boy grew up and slowly forgot all about the dream. The boy, now a man, was out collecting water for his sick mother one day, when suddenly, he passed out, having the same dark, shadowy dream, where he spoke again to Equinox. "The deal will take effect today now that you are in your prime." Equinox said. The man's memory up until then were blocked out, hidden from him, and he woke up, surrounded by the ruins of his village that he didn't know was his village. A lifetime later, Equinox had finally reached the point where he could exit the man's body, and he did. As he did so, the man's memories of his home came flooding back to him, but they seemed so insignificant compared to the amount of time he lived, he didn't recognize them until a year later, as he was looking through his memories." He gave Lore a bit of time to process the story. "And that is how I became immortal, darling."

 She listened to every word carefully. At the end of the story, she pulled out a small book from her hip pouch and began writing in it. She snapped it shut with a grin, her blue eyes ablaze with curiosity "That was truly magnificent" she said

 "Thank you, thank you, no need for applause, though it is welcome."

 "Oh please, Applause is for those lacking confidence" she said, her words witty but sharp like knives

 "Well, I assure you, I don't lack in confidence at all. When you're immortal, you learn there is nothing to be fearful of."

 "Except eternity" she said with a grin

 "Not really, I know it'll be boring, so I'm not exactly afraid of it."

 "Being alone, watching the planet waste away, knowing that you can never die but you wish you could" she said and gave him a small smile "Thats sounds like a nightmare to me"

 He shrugged. "Eh, you kind of accept it when you know it's coming and unavoidable. Besides, I could always just go to another world."

 Lore shrugs "I suppose". She watched the tavern patrons and kicked her feet a bit. 

 Ettor stretched and leaned back a bit, supporting himself mid-air by levitating.

 Lore kept an eye on him with messing with small stone in her palm

 He held out his hand, spoke a few lines in abyssal, and a spider the size of a large tarantula appeared in his palm. 

 Lore raised an eyebrow, watching it closely. 

 It suddenly jumped onto her leg and looked up at her with it's small, beady eyes.

 With a flick of her hand, she sent it flying off of her. she watched as it hit the ground.

 It disappeared in shadow and reappeared on the back of her hand. It did a little spider dance. Ettor laughed a little bit.

 She sighed "I can tell your going to be a pain in the-" she stopped before finishing her sentence. She looked around quickly, as if something had caught her attention.
