Stian followed the old woman with confidence and whispered back to the young girl.
“Don’t worry. She acts meaner than she is. Really a softie if you ask me”
[i]”I’m only going blind, not deaf. I swear I I’ll kick your teeth in”[/i]
“Charming. Are you really going to act like that for a first-timer?”
The old woman mumbled something to herself as she passed through a curtained off section of the building.
On the other side a small affair of about half a dozen tables greeted them. All but two had 4 seats to them. The latter had 8.
Low, dim Chinese lamps sat at intervals on the ceiling rafters. There was a stage towards the back of the room. It was just the right size for a 16-piece orchestra. It gave the feel of an old speakeasy set in an older Asian tone.
The old woman headed back towards the stage, while Stian took a seat at one of the smaller tables. He gestured towards the seat across from him.
“Take a seat. That old woman may be a little harsh but her sons are much nicer. Though here’s hoping we don’t get her daughter...”
Stian said the last part under his breathe, then turned to look for her reaction.

[i]it was confused look on her face but she's more focused on look at everything for a quick second. Before looking back at him to answer.[/i] "Oh okay i will take your word for it."says Estonia [spoiler]is fine been working too [/spoiler]

He worked his scabbard free from his position at his waist and leaned it against the table. Stian sighed. He was still tired and losing energy. He wouldn’t last without something to eat. Just as he was thinking that a young boy, maybe 19, came from towards the stage and ran to the table where he spoke rapidly to Stian in an old, complex language. Definitely of Eastern decent. Stian gestured towards the young girl and rattled something back at the boy. He nodded and smiled at the young girl. [b]”Hi. I’m Shou. Can I get you drink?”[/b] His English was patchy and broken but the message got across. Stian patiently sat and hummed an off tune to himself. Yet it was strangely relaxing. The boy was about to bounce off the walls waiting. He seemed very quick paced.

"Just water please"says Estonia [i]Estonia was the complete opposite of the boy as she shyly answered him. [/i]

The boy nodded vigorously and took off towards the stage. “Good kid, that one” Stian turned to look at the girl and prompted. “We haven’t got around to any names yet. We can start with something easy. I’m Stian and I’m a magician, I guess. Mage. Warlock. Whatever it is nowadays. Can I ask yours?”

"Im Estonia im a featherfolk."she says [i]as she answers his questions to the best of her ability. She had a feeling that he had more questions though some would harder than others to answer but she would do her best if asked. [/i]
