"Your welcome" as she places the meals in front of both of them.
She stares at Ifritius with a smile. "Would you like a drink, or something" As she stutters to the male hobbit...

Sure little one.

Yes my dear..would love a fresh liquor

She gets the two drinks. "Here is a Goblins brew for you, Barbus and her is a special Grapan Liquor for you, Ifritius," she quickly scampers off to the kitchen with butterflied in her stomach..

I see they had shut the town down, I wonder what can be done to return the town to normalcy.

I am afraid this is your brother's fault, by taking the contract the demons handed him, he may have left them a way to the surface, a whole new realm for them to conquer. Ultimately, what is going to have to happen is, we are going to have to confront them and push them back to where they came from. It is going to be messy, lives may be lost, but, for the good of us all, we should abide by the laws of the land and offer help when we all can afford it, but, right now, I do not believe the group here at the tavern is ready yet for such an undertaking, maybe in time, as they grow in experience, they will be ready to push the demons back into the underdark, maybe even further, into the pits of hell where they belong. So the best thing they could do is prepare for the coming battles. Train, Train, Train, maybe you could hurry up and get the school ready so that the townspeople have an edge in combat, I am sure you can teach them a thing or two from your book. I may be able to help with the magiks of the land, I could offer my abilities as a healer and try to keep the people alive as long as I can. I can also identify "unknown" magical items to unlock thier full magical potential, as well as add magic to ordinary weapons for added umph.

That's right, you have done it in the past on our raids on the Temple of Ra, and the Removal of Thor from power, and you have yet to let us down, so with our help and guidance, the people of Sinatorium are going to be a formidable force.

Calliope wanders back into the tavern from the kitchen. She doesnt want to spill the plate she has prepared for herself. She pulls her chair over near Ifritius and climbs up into it.

"Ifritius, I am impressed with your knowledge and abilities. Maybe some day when I am ready, you can teach me a new skill? she turns and smiles at Barbus, "When will the training begin again? I have missed you my sweet friend?" she starts eating her cheese and egg pie, White beets and Milktoast.

you are ready only when you believe you are, I could teach til I am blue in the face, but both your heart and mind must be aligned in order to recieve knowledge. *slaps hands together and slowly separates them, revealing a daisy, which he immediately puts in his hat, then opens his mouth and pulls the same daisy out stem first, and hangs it in the air floating above the table*

Ahh the school, I am finishing up some work and writing a lesson plan, it should be open to the public within the next few days, however, I will be holding a seminar the next time I am here at night, so if you like, I shall compensate you for spreading the word, that at night when I am here, I will be teaching the philosophy of Drow combat.

Calliope tries to grab the daisy, but it moves quickly in the air."I like that. If you dont mind, everyone here thinks Im a silly senseless hobbit. I would like them to know that I can play, be silly and be serious at the same time." she droops back in her chair after several attempts to grab the flower.

"Barbus, I would like to attend this training and I would be happy to market your class." she smiles at him knowing that she would do anything for him, but as long as he is wanting to pay her, by all means she will take it.

I would be happy that you would attend. I know you would learn quite a bit and it would help in the battle against the demons approaching the Sinatorium.

My dear, I could show you a few things, but nothing you couldnt handle. In time you will acquire more. He smiles at her innocence.

"Very well then gentlemen.I am off to put Pan in my room." She picks up the dishes off the table, "Oh, how did you like the Roasted boar's tail with hot sauce, cheese and egg pie,white beets and milktoast? I did remember that you cant eat mushrooms Ifritius." she trembles as she smiles. She moves toward the kitchen with her hands full. Slowly opens the door so she doesnt let Pan, her horned cat out.

*Rathil reenters the inn and takes a seat behind the bar.*

She points to the menu on the slate, "Hi Rathil, would you care to indulge." she scoops Pan, her horned cat, up from the floor.

MENU FOR THE DAY

Roasted boar's tail with hot sauce
Cheese and egg pie
White beets
Milktoast

Ah, no thank you little one. So I hear you got yourself locked in the cellar? Are you alright?

"Well it wasnt my fault. The door slammed shut and a barrel of brew fell over, at least that is what Alatariel told me. I am embarrassed about it all. At least Pan caught all the mice." she laughed. "You still wont eat! I insist on something. Ill just bring something too you anyway, we still have venison soup. That would go easy on you."

She looks through the corner of her eye< at Ifritius, in a lady like manner. She thinks to herself, he is kinda cute for being so old.

*Laughs a bit*

There is no sense in eating when one is not hungry my dear.

"Okay, be that way, but when you are, dont think Im gonna come running. Im going to learn the philosophy of Drow combat at barbus' academy and Ifridius will teach me some skills. Of course nothing earth shattering Im sure." She knows they dont think she is ready but maybe they underestimate her.

She retreats with Pan up the stairs to put him in her room before any crowd gets here and somebody decides to play kick the cat.

That sounds most excellent. I do so hope you are intending on joining Alatariel in my training room when it is up and operational. She will need the help of a skilled rogue.

"Why yes Rathil. Just let me know when and where and I shall be there. I would most definitely want to help Alatariel. She means the world to me."

Good Good, and I hope you have a few others joining you as well. It should be in three days time when the sun sets. So do spread the word. This training room was designed for 4 or 5 people. It might be dangerous if only 2 of you enter.

*Phara enters the inn, followed by a cold breeze, she takes a seat.* "May I have a brew please" *Calliope serves her the brew and Phara goes to her corner seat to observe the strange new comer*

"Hi Phara, didnt you say not that long ago that you wanted to train with Rathil on an adventure? she walks over to her table and taps her fingers with a grin. "Come on, play with us."
