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

It was a good thing that he had packed quite a number of coins on his travels. With the way Aurum was going thru the drinks that were set in front of her. "Quite extensive indeed" he agreed. "What purpose it has, even I am not to sure of. Nothing but rumors and hearsay of what spells may lie inside of it. Finding it will bring the answers of it's contents. As to teaching you spells, Hmm we shall see when the time comes." Pulling his drink closer Kael took another sip of it as he watched the dragoness. "I would imagine many of those books in your horde would have spells or what not within their pages."

"Simple. The pay is good. The same reason as most would jump on the chance. With such a job, I want for not." Some what his pride was hurt being called coddled but he let if pass. She didn't know who he truly was so her words were just that. "Some of the perks are that in lieu of research, I get to travel in search of such things to teach the little coddled prince." Pushing his glass to the side he leaned on the table. "So then, what about you. Such a high class to be traveling with a spells teacher. What could possibly be the reason for such a drastic change for one of royalty?" In turn he turned the questions back onto her.

She planned to continue drinking. What a thing to be doing in mid day, in a bar drowning one thing of booze down after the next. Taking another sip from his drink he set it to the side. She was likely the youngest of the children in line for succession. She held a rebellious attitude that seemed to have followed her from her younger days he suspected. "You drink alcohol as if it were water on a hot day" Kael commented at the number of glasses that were starting to litter her side. Surely by this amount she was getting close to the end. Which would not bode well should she be completely hammered in mid day.

Sighing again and knocking back the rest of the pint that was in front of him he set it upside down on the table. "So then should I keep you drinking? It would seem that the more you drink the more you remember about our friend. I suppose if this continues to get all that you know I will have to spend a life's worth of savings getting you sloshed." Kael commented to Aurum. That it took her to drink to remember the details to an extent annoyed him. Whether it was the case of that or she simply wanted to delay things by keeping him enticed he wasn't sure. A male mage, who was missing a right thumb and wore a cloak. Still not much to go by. If he was wearing gloves it was likely difficult to tell if he was in fact missing the thumb or not. "The mage likely fancies drink more then I as well." Kael said giving a long exasperated exhale. She was being difficult. Whether by intent or accident tho was the question of the matter. "Before any of the rest of the day wastes away let us get going, before you or I put more down upon the mental poison." Reaching out he grabbed the new mug and took a few drinks of it, finishing it off just so that she would not goad him on it.

Standing from the table, Kaelthas followed after the girl weaving thru the bar as easily as he had when they entered. It was something to not the drop in skill that Aurum was displaying. Vocally she may not be attesting to the level of drink she had consumed but her body and movements were showing it well enough. Getting outside, the sun was still strong in the sky. It's warmth flowing over him greatly which contrasted to the darkened atmosphere of the bar they had been in. It was such a contrast he had to squint for a time as his vision adjusted to the barrage of light. "To the market then." There they would likely inquire around about a mage that fit the description as well as attain items for the travel that was likely to be infront of them.  

[Shiningdragon21]

"I had planned to" Kael said simply to Aurum before moving farther into the market. He moved around from stall to stall working for deals and haggling prices. Much like a human settlement barter and haggling was a strong economic factor in the beast kingdom. After awhile Kaelthas had attained a pack along with a plethora of items. Many ranging from food and drink to other random assortment of items. Returning in front of Aurum, Kaelthas looked down at her. "Alright then, It's light enough for a trek but enough items to sustain for weekly travel" he commented to her. During his time in the market he had as well asked around about the mage but had only come across one who seemed to know who he was speaking off. His information said that the man had been speaking of going farther into the kingdom of beasts but did not specify as to where.

"Well to add to that I can say for sure that they went north east towards the center of the kingdom." It was narrowing more and more as they went about gathering information. An age and facial features would have been a bonus to be added but from what he could tell, what little information they were going to get they already had. "I don't think you would have liked if I left. You would have lost the trinket you were promised." Goading a little at the dragoness's want of his rewards a smirk came to his face for a moment. "So then madam. By your leave we shall begin towards the capital. Most likely during this time of war, might be hesitant to head so deep into a land they were at war with. Kael held no such thoughts. After searching for the book as long as he had been, he cared little for the beasts nor the war that was raging.
