[i]"You one of them nomadic folk, then? Amish or whatever they call them?" JT inquired, the bartender bringing her a beer. JT knew the bartender, and he was always willing to give him and friends free drinks after JT helped the guy. [/i]

"No, just, never really been around too many people." [b][i]She says smiling a bit. Something said about her though that she didn't want to talk about her pasy[/i][/b]
-
[i]"Well, you'll love it here," JT sarcastically replied, the bottle of Stella Artois being put on front of her. "I'm JT. Not my real name, long story." [/i]
-
"I'm Eris." [b][i]She said, not hiding her won name after not having it used for so long now. She picked up the drink as she took a small sip.[/i][/b]
-
[i]"Nice name." [/i]
-
"thank you" [b][i]She said, as she drank a bit. She seemed surprised by the drink, as if she wasn't used to it[/i][/b]
-
[i]JT noticed the odd feeling that she had, and gave a quick chuckle. "First drink's always real bad tasting, the second is where it gets good." [/i]
-
[b][i]She laughed a bit as well, taking another drink[/i][/b] "It's just something uncommon where I'm from. To drink, that is."
-
[i]"They outlaw it?" [/i]
-
"No, it's just something mainly done by the wealthy. Others have other things to worry about."
-
[i]"Yeah, that makes sense. Is it expensive over there?"[/i]
-
"Yes. And it's considered a very important affair. From what I can see, a lot different then here." [b][i]She said, taking a sip[/i][/b]
-
[i]"Around 'ere, the wealthy have wine and the middle class has whiskey." [/i]
-
"The middle class didn't drink much, and a lower class citizen like me could only dream of it."
-
[i]"You don't strike me as the poor type." [/i]
-
"Some people helped me when I got here." [b][i]She said, adjustment no the black band around her neck a bit, as she took another drink.[/i][/b] "I've started making some money as well. Where I'm from, you can usually tell someone's status by their [i]Vashka[/i]. Or, coverings, in English." [b][i]She said, showing the coverings on her arms, as well as sliding up the lower leg of her pants to reveal similar coverings on her legs[/i][/b]
-
[i]"Got a bank account? I'll contribute some cash your way." [/i]
-
"Thank you, but you don't have to. I can't ask that from a random person." [b][i]She says. [/i][/b]
-
[i]"Just shut up and take the cash," JT jokingly said. He had literal billions, money was no issue to him. [/i]
-
"Thank you then." [b][i]She said smiling a bit[/i][/b]
-
[i]"Not an issue. Where can I transfer it to you?" [/i]
-
[b][i]She gave him the information he would need, though careful not to give any extra[/i][/b]
-
[i]A few moments later, her bank account was a few thousand dollars richer. [/i]
-
[b][i]She took another drink, before speaking.[/i][/b] "Why show all this kindness to someone random like me?"
-
[i]"Why not?" [/i]
-
"It's just, not the kindness I'm used to back home."
