Aeryn came downstairs, bag in hand and sat down at the bar.

"Raslak." One last drink before she went.

[OOC: As a la back room post, may be gone for quite some time. I'll probably be able to get access to dial up, so I'll be able to keep up, but no time to RP. If you don't mind slight slowness over-threading is no problem. I'll be here all night.]

"Bless you." Guppy says absently from half way down the bar.

He is wearing a red bugs bunny jumper with 'What's up doc?' on the back and looks like he might actually have slept.

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"You look better." She remarked from her seat, dropping the bag to the floor with a satisfying clunk.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Thanks. I was too tired not to sleep, even if I did keep waking up. Plus Abs is trying to help me get back on my feet."

He eyes the bag.

"You're going again?"

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

Aeryn grunted. It was the kind of non-committal noise which translated to 'I'm glad you're getting help.'

"Nothing dangerous this time."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Good, because it's not that long since your last dangerous mission."

He sips his tea. "Is it a holiday?"

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"No, it hasn't been that long. I have no desire to bring any more corpses back." Aeryn laughed bitterly.

"Not this time. Just some business." Which made it sound dangerous.

[guppy_sandhu]

Indeed it does.

"Well take care out there. I have something for you by the way."

He opens a box, takes out a rock cake, places it on the lid of the box and passes it over.

"It's not much, but I'd like to thank you for being here for me."

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

Aeryn took it and eyed it suspiciously. She didn't recieve presents often, but being from Guppy it wasn't likely to be poisoned, or a bomb, right?

"What is it?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"It's a rock cake. My Nana sent me some. With this jumper." he adds, taking a rock cake out of the box and biting into it to show it's not poisonous.

Lookit! One witch inna bar. She's looking at the bag.

"Are you going somewhere?"

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Might be" Aeryn sipped her drink expertly. Let's face it, there's no love lost between the two.

[capt_angie]

"For good?" Nope. No love lost there at all.

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"No." And her eyes said what her mouth wouldn't bother to. You'd like that, wouldn't you.

[capt_angie]

Couldn't be bothered one way or another is the unspoken reply.

"What are you going for?"

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"To find out about something." So I can sleep at night.

[capt_angie]

Somthing Aeryn probably wouldn't tell Angie even if she asked with a pretty please and a cherry on top, so she doesn't even try.

"And Andrei?"

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

John related things tend to be that way. If they don't talk about it, threats can be kept to a minimum.

"With his father's, as usual. Not that it's any of your business."

[elrond-healer.livejournal.com]

A being who walks very much like a warrior with inhuman grace, comes to the bar and orders a drink in a quiet, almost lyrical language. Elrond sees Aeryn and nods to her as he sips from his drink. If she is looking when he drinks, she may see the light fall on his sharply pointed ears.

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

Aeryn nods back. Clearly not human.

[elrond-healer.livejournal.com]

He speaks again, this time in the standard of the place.

"A good evening to you, warrior."

His voice is musical in tone, quiet, and he acknowledges her with his eyes.

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"And to you..." She left the end open. Polite. Cold.

[elrond-healer.livejournal.com]

He almost!smiles and nods again.

"Elrond Peredhel, formerly of Rivendell, the land called Middle Earth."

His eyes dip to ehr gear and he nods again.

"You seem headed out, what war calls you?"

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"No war, just something I have to do."

Aeryn look at the bag as though it surprised her.

"Not this time anyway."

[elrond-healer.livejournal.com]

"Then may success come to you, where-ever your path may take you."

He raises his drink and salutes her with it, then drinks again.

[just-a-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Thank you?" Aeryn said, perhaps a little taken aback by the friendliness.
