Can You Stop It? [V x S] [1x1]

"Hmm, this should suffice to fool even the stronger of beasts senses" Kael muttered to himself as he followed after her, catching up next to her in only a few steps. "I suppose that it will be my coin to supply you with a drink, as a way of thanks even if your company comes with a cost" Kael said as a toothy grin marked his face. "Now then Aurum. Concerning the mage who you traded with. Is there any details that you may be able to remember of him, or her?" The town they were heading towards in the distance was starting to come into view. It wouldn't be long before they arrived.  

[Shiningdragon21]

"So we are looking for someone that fits the description of more the half the known world in your present form. In your other form, I dare not want to find the creature you would have traded with, let alone find why they were called a mage. Should the next helpful insight be that they wore a cloak and carried a staff?" Her quip was quickly countered by his own as he kept his pace. He hadn't caught her expression for once as he was thinking about what little they had to go on narrowing down the mage by race as best he could. As they spoke between the each other the town came upon them. It was bustling as the the mid day sun now beat down upon them. That a war was happening miles away from it was something few could likely tell, minus the wounded soul on the street here or there.

Looking down, Kael noted her smile. He also noted the several razor sharp teeth that were still evident from her transformation. Her quip at him keeping up was likely a challenge at drinking. One that he would properly decline once it came to it. Magical illusions and drinking were not something that usually went well with one another. He did wonder what a drunken dragon may look like tho, but when the thought of her transforming and stumbling about came to him. He was quick to try to shake it from his mind on account of damage likely to be incurred. "Ladies first" Kael said pushing the door of the tavern open for Aurum to enter into.

With Aurum in the establishment, Kael follower her in. She was however with her smaller stature easily able to move thru the semi crowded bar. He however did not have as much of an easy time moving thru. A few times he caught a few looks but those were quickly diverted as he gave each a vicious snarl mimicking the wolf morph he had become. By the time he made his way to be able to see the woman she had already gotten their drinks and been served by the time that he had sat. "Right" he muttered as the waitress asked him for the compensation for the drink to which he payed quickly before looking over at her. "I don't remember saying that I would be partaking of such things, simply that I would satiate your thirst." Looking at the drink that sat in front of him he could smell it from where he sat. While it didn't seem like it was priced to badly the scent belayed it's likely potent strength.

Reaching his paw around the glass Kael looked it over a bit. The closer it was now the stronger the scent had become. It was sweet smelling but the alcohol scent was their hiding itself behind the sweet odor. "To getting what we want" Kael nodded clicking the glass as he pulled it to himself. Should he drink it he wondered or simply place it to the side. If he didn't Aurum would likely continue to goad him the entirety of their trek. Lifting the drink to his lips Kael took a sip. As he suspected the drink was strong, what he didn't expect was that it went down smoothly which was pleasant atleast. Setting the drink down infront of him he wiped his mouth.  

[Shiningdragon21]

As he figured the goading would continue if he didn't finish the drink. Sighing slightly Kael grabbed his glass as he slammed back the entirety of it in a single swig before slamming the glass down. "I suppose the next one will come from your pocket then" Kael said again wiping his mouth. He was likely going to regret this soon if things continued going on in this direction. The drink was strong but for the moment he would be able to hold the drink. If it would atleast get his companion off his back for a bit. He was thinking of a spell that would help him in such a matter with the alcohol and could think of a few but when to use them would be key.  

[Shiningdragon21]

"His right thumb? Well that atleast narrows it down quite a bit" Kael said rubbed his chin. "I can't say it's the best information but it's enough to get some what of a lead." Looking at the drink that had been set in front of him, the mage sighed. She was planning completely to turn this into some kind of competition which he would be at the losing end of if he let it go at her pace. "It would be helpful to head there afterwards. Sipping the drink Kael closed his eyes as he thought about a few things. Setting the drink down he looked over at Aurum. "So then, as you sate yourself on alcohol. Does any other detail come to mind of our friend?"  

[Shiningdragon21]

Again she gave a jest remark. Would she remember more actual facts if she was given more alcohol he wondered. His thoughts were broken tho when she asked him of the reason behind the book. "It's a rarity" he said simply leaning back in his chair. He rested both his hands on his side of the table, taking note of her flushed cheeks in the process. What ever the drink contained was slowly starting to get to Aurum it seemed, strange that he should have likely felt something by now. "The book is something hinted to me by only those who have heard tales of it. I am as much of a collector of books and tomes as you are of collecting random bits of treasure, odds, and ends." He didn't want to stay on the subject of why he needed the book for very long. Seeing that her glass was nearly empty he flagged down the waitress, getting another of the same thing for just her as his own drink had not been touched since the last.
