John gasped softly. "Interesting. I'm from America too, in all honesty." he replied, setting his copy of 'A Dance in Fire' on a nearby table.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seed Neeus nodded. "Well that is true, but I will always make deliveries to other towns, given the chance." --------------------------------------------
"There you are." Qa'Dar said as he approached John and Nick, the recently purchased book in the khajiit's hand.
"And who is this one?" he asked.

Dar Ma enjoyed the breakfast with Talasma, eating a nice meal as she felt the heat from the fire. she poured Talasma a fresh cup of wine , then poured herself one. the wine bottle was now nearly empty. 'I wanted to thank you, for everything you've shown me the past few hours' she said to Talasma.. _ Nicula walked from book row to book row, looking for a book to catch her fancy.. she could hear snatches of conversation to her left and right. Deetsan and Dru Essa were talking about Bravil, and Mach Na was talking to someone as well.

What are the odds?' Nick said, surprised that John was from the same world, and country as he was.. ' well at least he wouldn't be completely alone here ' He turned as Qa Dar came up to them ' Hello I'm Nick. ' he introduced himself..I'm well a local, if you catch my meaning. I've been just talking with John here for a bit..,
- At least you get paid more the further you have to go for a delivery' Mach Na said "I don't travel much, myself, too risky these days. So I have my usual customers, including Deetsan over there. Sadly I have had to raise prices recently due to the recent crisis.. Have you had to raise your prices at all?" she ashked Seed Neeus.
after Browsing for a few minutes, Dru Essa sat down in a chair and looked at the daily Bulletin.

That done Glides gathered his purchases and put them into a shoulder bag he had brought to carry any purchases he had done. He thought he would do a walk around this part of the town before heading back to his room.
No reason to stay in a room during a nice day like this, he thought to himself.
Glides continued walking. He was starting to get a bit hungry and decided to stop in at a cafe to have a snack and a drink before he continued. He ordered a glass of wine and a chocolate dish. He sipped some water as he waited for the order to arrive.

So How about we go to the local er bar, and I get you a drink and we discuss how you got here.. and well swap stories' Nick offered. ' just give me a minute..' he nodded at John then went over to Nicula ' Hey Nicula, could I borrow 50 gold from you?..see I need it so I can buy me and John over there some drinks' ' Nicula dug into her purse and dropped fifty pieces in Nicks hands ' Go ahead, have a few drinks.. just remember to get me a west Weald..' Nicula said, as Nick put the gold into his pocket.
Deetsan was ready to get going, as was Dru Essa.

Talasma smiled. "You are welcome. But it is you that this one has to thank." She explained. "This one isn't usually very intimate let alone with another female, you changed that."
-----------------------------------
"Indeed, I could use a drink." Qa'Dar responded once Nick returned.
"I guess I can say the same." John chimed in, placing his book back on the shelf.
----------------------------------------
"Only a little, I do not like to raise them to the point that nobody can trade." Seed Neeus replied.

Indeed, you do not want to scare off business ' mach Na replied with a nod. ' but sadly, such is the times we live in. Hopefully things will start getting better and Ill get more customers from the other cities in the Empire." - I'm ready to go' Deetsan said after paying Mach Na for a book called ' The thrice-charged dagger' about a sword that carried three enchantments. Nick for his part was reluctant to leave the bookshop, but with so little coin to his name he couldn't afford to buy any books, just browse. at least browsing was free. Dru Essa got her things,including a book she had brought from Mach Na, and headed towards the door " Thank you for the books ' She said to Mach Na as she went out " Anytime dear. Thank you for your patronage." Mach Na said. Deetsan followed Dru Essa out the door ' see you tomorrow Mach Na' She said with a smile ' Anytime dear" Mach Na said.

Holding tightly onto the gold Nicula had given him. Nick headed out of Mach Na's Books and headed towards the nearest pub, which turned out to be the next building over 'A Large sign proclaimed the place to be the " Cheydinhall Bridge Inn' although from what Nick could see, there wasn't any bridge anywhere near the inn " perhaps its just a misnaming, or perhaps there was a bridge near there once but it was moved at some point' He said, as he headed towards the door. nick headed up a flight of stairs and found himself looking at a women standing behind a counter ' Mariana Ancharia at your service, I own the Cheydinhall Bridge Inn I provide beds and food to quality people in town. Have a seat and a drink if you like' she said.

John tossed some gold on the counter. "I'll have some Argonian bloodwine." He said politely.
"The same for me." Qa'Dar uttered as he took a seat next to the boy.

Marina soon brought three bottles of Argonian Bloodwine for Nick, John and Qa' Dar. " here you are gentlemen, just let me know if you need anything else.' she said, as she walked away from the table. Nick took a sip of the drink and found it to be quite strong ' So , tell me a bit about yourself Qa Dar. Where are you from, if i may ask?'Nick inquired. - Nicula was Continuing her conversation with Seed Neeus, getting caught up on what had happened in the month after her rescue of Dar Ma " So I trust Dar Ma is doing well? No flashbacks to her treatment by those lunatics?' Nicula Asked and waited for Seed Neeus to reply, they were sitting in a corner of Mach Nas bookstore that was screened off from the rest of the store by two large bookshelves. _ Deetsan was walking down the street with Dru Essa, both girls enjoying the conversation. Dru Essa was telling Deetsan about her family and about how she had got into being a merchant. the waiter soon brought Glides his Drink.' here you are sir, enjoy ' he said setting it down. -
- Deetsan stopped at the Newlands Lodge which was the cheaper of the two bars in the city. ' hello Dervera' Deetsan called out to the owner ' two meads please' Dervera Romalen, who was the owner of the inn, looked up from washing a pitcher with a dirty rag ' 10 gold, Deetsan. dont see you around here much..' "well I wanted to show my friend here around town and we're a bit parched.' Dervera put two small bottles on the counter and Deetsan paid her the coins. "pick anywhere you want to sit. just dont try to cause any trouble with your magic, alright?'she said

"Thanks." Glides said to the waiter. He took a sip of his drink and opened the book he had bought on the Knight of the Nine. He thought he would do a quick glancing at the book till his order of food came. He didn't think it would take to long. He thought why not get a read of the book in before his food came.

Marina Brought a basket of rolls a few minutes later ' here you are fellows, freshly baked ' Help yourself " she said setting them on the table. Nick nodded as he took one ' thank' he said with a smile to her, as Marina left to return to the counter. ' so, how did you end up here?' He asked john." i.. don;t remember much.. all i remember was climbing in my bed, like I normally do.. then i woke up to the sound of an iron door being smalled shut..

John pondered for a bit. "Come to think of it, I don't remember much either. But I know I had just opened a book I was about to read...before everything went black and I woke up in an underground cell." John explained, taking a roll from the basket and muttering a "thank you."
Qa'Dar overheard John and Nick's words. Nothing to out of the ordinary to him, for the most part, but the khajiit was intrigued.

"That it is. It does seem very familiar though..." John responded, taking a bite of his roll. "Although, I've read so many fantasy novels that I have become familiar with this sort of setting anyhow." He mused.
Qa'Dar took a sip of his wine, calmly.
