The clouds in the sky part to allow the moon to shine down, the only sounds to be heard are leaves rustling in the wind and the sound of your own footsteps as you make your way down an old beaten trail. As you walk, the glint of a sign catches your eye in the distance, as you near the structure you notice that what looked to be an abandoned building in the distance is instead a bustling tavern. The sign that was glinting in the moon light shines with a light crimson tinge to it, reading the words 'Tavern for the Weary Heart'. While on the outside, voices and the sounds of merriment can be heard inside the tavern. As you open the door, instead of an old creaky rustic sound, the door moves without making the slightest bit of noise. As you look around, you will notice there are people of all races smiling and talking to one another, enjoying drinks at the bar, or food among friends. A fire glimmers towards the back of the common room, a warm welcome to those that have traveled far. What appears to be a white fox pup approaches your feet and sits down before you, a smile showing in his eyes as he wags his tail, watching closely before speaking into your mind.

"Hello and welcome to the Tavern for the Weary Heart. This establishment has been created for the sole purpose of bringing experienced and new travelers together. So please, come in and enjoy your stay, after all we all need to relax sometime."

After flipping around the sign on the front door from 'Closed' to 'Open', Yuuichi smiles to himself as he makes his way towards the bar, his tail wagging along the way. Once reaching the bar, he reaches into a cupboard and starts pulling out glasses, taking a soft cloth to them as he makes sure they are as clean as possible. I finally did it. I have finally opened up my own establishment. He hums softly as he cleans the glasses, his ears twitching in anticipation at the prospect of people coming to his tavern.

Angil skipped through the door, large smile on her face. Hi there Yuu-kun! She announced as she walked up to the bar. She leaned over the bar and ruffled his hair some. I hope we get some interesting people in today. She walked behind the counter and grabbed her apron and pad.

After glaring at Angil for a few moments for messing with his hair, Yuuichi starts to laugh as he continues cleaning. It's great to see you as well Angil. And yes, I have to agree, I hope we do as well. It is kind of surreal to think we finally made it here and opened our own place. He stops cleaning for a moment as he looks at her, tying her apron. By the way Angil, are you thirsty?

Angil put her finger up to her chin as if to think. Um...Sure. Fix me anything you would like. She walked back to the kitchen and grabbed the mop and mop bucket. She wheeled it to the front and started to mop. She hummed a little tune that was cute and cheerful.

After laughing a bit on the inside, Yuuichi turns to walk down the bar a bit, searching from something to give to Angil. Just remember Angil, you gave me permission for it this time. He looks over his shoulder at her for a couple moments, an evil grin on his lips. After turning back, he grabs a few bottles from under the counter and pours a little of each into a shaker. He places a couple pieces of ice in the shaker before closing it and starts to mix the liquids together. After thoroughly mixing them, he pours the contents into a glass and fills the rest of the glass with a soft drink. Here you go Angil, one I haven't given you before. It is called an 'Assassin'. Just please be easy on it as you drink it, no matter how much you like the taste. He slides the glass with enough force it moves down the bar and stops parallel to where Angil is mopping.

Angil giggled a little. Hey now. My brother left me in your care. Remember the last time I tried one of your drinks? She stops moping and reaches for the drink. Assassin? Oh joy. I will have to be careful. She lifted it up to her lips, but before she takes the first sip she lowers it again. This better not kill me. She said jokingly. She took a sip and her face wrinkled up. It was very sweet but also very good. Oh wow. I will have to ask you to make this when I'm not working! She sets the drink back down and continues to mop

Yuuichi rolls his eyes at the mention of Angil's older brother. Nobody ever said your brother was sane in his decision. Nor did he have much choice in the matter. And no, it won't kill you, this one is a simple drink, not an experiment like last time, I promise. Yuuichi walks back down the bar towards Angil, trying to keep from laughing at her final remark. Whats wrong Angil, afraid its a little too strong for you?

Angil smiles again, looking over her shoulder to Yuuichi. No its not too strong. She grabs the drink again and takes a nice big gulp. She shivers as it goes down. She glares at him as if she was challenging him. Angil sets the drink back down and continues to mop, taking a sip here and there. By the time she was done Angil had a little difficulty focusing.

Virsat wasn't a typical or ideal Vampire. He was somewhat afraid of humans, and on his face, just below his right eye rested a brand. The tall six foot something Vampire hesitated just at the door of this tavern. It was the name of it that had quickly caught his attention. The sun was up and he shifted a bit uncomfortably on his feet. His skin was beginning to itch and already felt as if he had a bad sunburn. The pale creature did have a rather nice tolerance of sunlight, but it didn't hold up for very long.

Crimson eyes darted this way and that as Virsat opened the door and stepped in. Quickly, probably too quickly, he pulled the door closed behind him. His right hand moved, reaching up to tug softly at the black collar he still wore, despite the fact he was free now. He moved almost cautiously to the bar. His eyes sweeping over the two here. Probably owners and what not. That tall frame slid easily onto a bar stool and he tried not to look nervous. Ha. A nervous Vampire.

Yuuichi smiles as he sees Angil's focus starting to slip, like always. Oh dear Angil, when will you learn, your tolerance is worse than most human teenagers. His ears start to twitch a bit as he hears the door open, causing him to look over his shoulder at the visitor. He turns to watch the man, a bit curious at the way he is acting. This one should be interesting, especially as nervous as he seems. Wonder if I can give him something to calm that. Once the man seats himself, Yuuichi walks down the bar and smiles happily as he extends his right hand to him. Hello sir. My name is Yuuichi, is there anything I may help you with? A drink or some food maybe?

((O.O.C.: Just as a heads up Kry, you may want to let that be the only post with the picture. Apparently I was mistaken or I was too lax when I returned to this site. But it seems posting the picture in the post is considered 'Flobbing'. Just wanted to forewarn you to keep you out of trouble.))

][Ah. I see. Okay, thanks for the heads up, but I can't help but laugh. Flobbing is a funny word to say/type.][

Virsat was trying to hide his nervousness. He had somehow become lost from his two travel companions and had no idea where they were. He had woken up and they were just...gone. Had they abandoned him like he always thought? Probably...he didn't want to believe that though. Those crimson eyes blinked as the bartender came over to him and spoke. Virsat looked at the extended hand for a moment, and reached out to take it gently in his cool pale one. In that one movement, Virsat's nervousness had already melted away. There were no humans here. Nothing to fear.

Virsat did not shake Yuuichi's hand, instead he dipped his hand and raised that hand to lightly brush his cool pale lips against the back of it. "I am called Virsat, it is a pleasure to meet you." His voice, like his skin was rather cool, and just a bit soft. He released Yuuichi's hand and smiled slightly, just enough to let his fangs show. "I was wondering if your establishment catered to the needs of my kind?" His nervousness hadn't fully returned, but he did seem a little wary now. He usually avoided humans, but other establishments run by demons and elves and other supernatural creatures had chased him off. Even other vampires had chased him away.

He had reached up, once again the fingers of his hand toyed with the collar around his neck. His eyes didn't leave Yuuichi.

Yuuichi shivers a little bit at the cool touch, not quite used to vampires. I'm sure we can work something out. I mean, is there any particular type your after? Yuuichi leans down in a conspiratorial way to whisper in Virsat's ear. All I ask, Master Virsat, is that you do not attack my employees, nor any other customers that come in. If you feel the thirst, let me know and I will see about helping you sate it. Yuuichi stands back up with a smile on his face and winks at Virsat. Now, if you may excuse me for a moment, I should be able to find what you are looking for. Mind you, this may be a substitute for what you like.

Getting to the tavern and bursting in a little after the vampire, Enne stood in the doorway panting for a moment before turning to Yuuichi. "Sorry I'm late! I forgot to wake up early..." she said giving a quick bow. She looked around the place after saying that and noticed that there were barely any people there, by what it seemed to her only one worth noticing was the guy sitting at the bar. Which Yuuichi already had covered. "Darn, could have slept in more without worrying too much."

Virsat had nodded slightly and whispered back before Yuuichi moved off to find him something. "...I don't attack people...and please..never call me 'master'." He had shivered slightly but at the use of that word. "...I don't like hurting people.." He added very softly. Almost to soft to be heard, then he had sat back up and turned slightly to give a wary glance to the person that burst in. For a moment, Virsat chewed his bottom lip.

Before stepping into the back room of the bar, Yuuichi stops and turns to see Ennu. No worries, we aren't that busy right now, so I'm not mad. Just try not to make a habit of it. He steps into the back room and closes the door behind him. I'm sorry Virsat, but I don't have any humans here to sate you....so I guess you will have to do with my blood for the moment. Yuuichi pulls his shirt off and grabs a medical kit out of a nearby cupboard. Slowly, he picks up a knife and places the tip at a point that would bleed, but not be visible once he puts his shirt back on. With his free hand, he grabs an ornate golden goblet and holds it underneath where he has the knife. Well, here goes nothing... He slits himself a bit with the knife and holds the goblet steady as his blood seeps into it. As it nears being filled, he sets the knife and goblet down on the counter next to him and applies pressure with his left hand to staunch the flow of blood as he grabs some bandages with his right. After bandaging himself up, and cleaning the knife, Yuuichi puts his shirt back on and walks out of the back room with the goblet in hand, his face a slight bit paler than it was a few moments ago, along with him being a little bit unsteady.

((O.O.C.: Mode, as I said to Kry as well, you may want to let that be the only post you have with the picture in it. I don't want to be the reason you guys get in trouble or anything.))

[[Alright thanks, still don't get whats so bad about this 'flobbing' though. Probably just people being perfectionist or something...]]

Ennu walked over by Yuuichi once he came out of the back room and looked him and the goblet of blood over. She simply said, "Pale." before walking off towards the kitchen. "Orange... orange... where is the fruit and the cooks when you need 'em?" En thought out loud. She finally found one, peeled it half-way, and placed it on a table. "Eat this Yuuichi." she said before going back to the kitchen to clean up any mess that was made.

He smiles a bit as he looks at the orange. Thank you Ennu. By the way, don't tell Angil about this, else I will be in trouble. She doesn't like the thought of me doing anything that can harm me, even though I'm the one that is supposed to protect her. He places the goblet in front of Vistar and grins happily. Here you are, sorry it isn't human, but hopefully what I was able to give will suffice. Also, no worries, I won't call you that again, it is merely a force of habit for me. Please forgive me. He takes a couple steps away from Vistar and grabs the orange, looking at it curiously, laughing to himself as he thinks about the fact Ennu doesn't know him, or the fact he hates oranges. After tossing it in the trash, Yuuichi pulls a bottle up from underneath the bar and fills a glass for himself to sip on. Water, so much nicer than oranges. I'm sure you could agree with me that oranges taste bad, right Vistar?

((O.O.C.: I could probably explain the reasoning, but I don't think I should here.))

Virsat had blinked when Yuuichi came back looking pale and a bit unsteady. Though the vampire would have been surprised if Yuuichi had actually had a human he could feed off of. Virsat had never in his long life taken human blood. His past was a complicated, painful one and not one he was going to mention. He had been ready to stand, to go and help Yuuichi as the man seemed a little unsteady. When Yuuichi tossed the orange in the trash, Virsat did stand, and moved over to pick it up. He wiped it clean on his shirt and held it to Yuuichi. "Please. You should eat this....you should not have harmed yourself for my sake. This will help replenish and strengthen you." A slight frown on his lips as he looked at the orange. "I..cannot..remember how such a thing tastes.."

After shaking his head a bit and refusing the orange for a second time, Yuuichi looks Virsat in the eye. As I said, I will keep to my water, it will help me a lot more than a nasty orange will. I may be a creature of the forest, but I've never been a fan of fruit. He takes a pretty heavy drink of his glass of water before speaking again. Plus, if you have dealt with Angil the way I have, then you would understand, a simple wound like this is nothing compared to her wrath. He starts laughing and smiling happily, his tail wagging as well. But thank you very much for your concern, it isn't common among your kind. The last bit Yuuichi threw in almost like an afterthought, his cheeks turning a slight red in embarrassment after thinking it over though, considering that could be taken as an insult.

((O.O.C.: Alas, I will be back later tonight, I'm happy to see that you guys are enjoying this somewhat, I hope. Take care, until next we meet =^.^= ))

Virsat still stood holding the orange. "The fruit has more nutrients in it to replenish what you lost faster than simple water.." His brow furrowed slightly and he still held the orange out to Yuuichi. Though, at Yuuichi's last comment, Virsat had flinched slightly, it was true though and Virsat was sure he knew the cruelties of his kind better than anyone. He shook his head slightly and tossed the orange back in the trash. "Then...would you prefer that I act in a manner more befitting of my kind?" He grit his teeth and moved back to his stool. His pale hands wrapped around the goblet and he pulled it closer.

Virsat inhaled deeply. Taking in the scent of the blood that filled his goblet and sighed softly. "...I have never taken human blood...I have never attacked a person...I live on the blood of animals...I may not remember exactly what it was like to be human, but I do know, that kindness and gentleness are not weaknesses. They are things that should be given freely to everyone. My kind is a vicious, murderous, abusive lot and I strive hard not to lose myself to such things that come almost second nature to me." He was frowning, but he drank deeply from the goblet. Savoring the taste with a slight shiver.

Sofia stifled a yawn as she walked up outside the tavern her gaze drawn immediately towards the sign. Ok the sign looked a little creepy but the establishment itself didn't look too bad. It couldn't possibly be any more dangerous than the place she'd just managed to get away from. Could it? Biting her lip Sofia hesitated outside the tavern her arms wrapped around herself as she debated whether to come in or keep moving. She'd been traveling for the better part of the evening, would she be pushing her luck if she kept going? Probably, well that settled it. There was no way she was going to back to that place! She wasn't going to let herself be caught and taken back to some sleazy house where some even sleazier male could use for his own selfish whims-

The dainty girl's head jerked up hearing the faintest crackling sound. Immediately her heart jumped into her throat as her mind assumed the worst. She'd been found!Letting out a soft scream she whirled away from the seemingly empty road she'd walked down and all but ran into the tavern her green eyes wide with fright as she slammed the door behind her.Gulping and shivering in obvious terror as she slid down into a position keeping her slender figure pressed against the door. 'Please don't let it be him..please don't let him come in! Please!' she prayed frantically as she took several deep breaths trying to calm herself down.

Yuuichi smiles a bit as he listens to Virsat speak and nods his head in understanding. Please forgive me for the last remark, I meant no harm by it. I merely meant it more in the lines of a compliment instead of an insult. I have been near the vampire kind a few times in my life, yet you are the first I have met that had any sense of compassion left. It caught me by surprise. Yuuichi looks down for a moment, his ears lowering slightly as he thinks of the past. But it is a very nice surprise to hear you have such a strong amount of self control that you have never attacked a human before. I'm glad that I know I shouldn't have to keep an eye after you when you visit us.

Yuuichi's ears twitch a bit as he hears the door slam, causing his head to jerk in the direction of the sound. He watches the woman pressing herself against the door for a few moments, curious about her behavior. Finally, with a warm smile as he looks at her, he decides to speak. Please miss, come in, have a seat. This place is a safe haven. He studies her breathing carefully, wondering what could be on the other side of the doors that would scare this young woman so much.

Virsat had nodded slightly to Yuuichi. He probably should not have gotten quite as angry as he had at the young man. Silently he scolded himself and took a sip of what was left in the goblet. Slowly turning to see who had entered now. The scent that filled his nostrils was human. Virsat stiffened. Humans were creatures to be feared. They hunted his kind ruthlessly and were the only creatures he had ever seen who could match a Vampire in the art of cruelty.

Virsat had lived a somewhat sheltered life. "...Humans...are dangerous.." He looked wide-eyed to Yuuichi, and it took considerable effort to keep from trembling. What if the human attacked him? What should he do? She was blocking the door, he couldn't get out with her blocking it like that. Though she also seemed rather afraid of something. It could be a trick. Humans could not be trusted. They staked you while you slept and chained you up before lighting you on fire. Virsat did shake slightly at that thought.
