Alessio finished polishing down the bar table in front of him and looked up into the large room that lay all around. The small tables all sat in assorted places across the stone floor, but most were empty today, except for the ones closest to the fireplace, in which a body of yellow and red heat flickered across the stone and leeched at the charred wood beneath it.
It was a normal day today, just like any other. But it was a little cold, and many people had either stayed at home or come to their local pub... which just happened to be here. A couple of waitresses on duty walked to and from tables, writing down things on some parchment, while carrying plates of assorted foods and meals. Another barman beside him poured a frothy ale into a large mug for an elderly looking man at the counter.
Alessio smiled to himself warmly. This was a good place to be. it was homely and welcoming, and his business was doing superbly. And he had also managed to get quite of bit of information out of the locals here in the Diamond City. It was the only island left in Lilan where people from any alleigance could come to relax. Things Alessio overhead could get quite interesting around here...

Rocky walked down the street of diamond city she was starting to get a bit aggravated was it her or was it just every place she went was cold. She entered into a pub in a attempt to get warm she looked around wondering what to do if she could sit herself or not the place was doing fairly well in business she let out a sigh and took a seat at the bar and listened to the people around her talk. She ran her hand through her hair she looked a few chairs down at a old man who was drinking from a large mug. While the man behind the bar smiling warmly to himself he was obviously enjoying his time working here, she tilted her head to a side and asked him with a smile tugging at her lips "Enjoying yourself ?"

Alessio looked up to a bright young woman sitting at the bar. She was obviously a fallen angel, but he wasn't phased. "I am, young lady." Alessio replied warmly. "This is a friendly place to be and it certainly feels good to one's mind knowing that war is left at the door." He only just then noted that that rhymed.
"My name is Alessio Khalora." He held out his hand. "So what can I do for you this evening?

The door bust open as a young girl tumbled inside. Cluching something in her fists, she ran over to the bar counter and sat next to another girl at the bar to hide herself from being visable through the window. She tucked the posession inside her vest, making sure it was not overt. But the item caught a glint of the light that shown down from the lamps overhead. She didn't dare look over to the window now to see if the coast was clear. But she found herself peeking over the other's shoulder to see if faces peered in. But all she found was a view of the shops across the street. She slowly leaned back, regretting that she came into this quiet place. An awkward silence buzzed in her ears. She was blushing from coming into the Inn like that and she was scared to make eye contact with anyone. She was scrupulous, listening to any sign of someone netering the Inn. She gave a sarcastic smile, slowly bringing her eyes up to the owner of the Inn.

"Well..." Alessio began, surprised, but amused. "That was quite an entrance there pirate."
He noticed that she was glancing at the windows and door behind her. He didn't even know if she was paying much attention to him. "Are you hiding from something missy?"
And then he remembered his manners, remembering that the first young lady was still there, "Sorry about that, I guess I'll have to make those introductions again, My name is Alessio Khalora." He looked from one to the other. "What ails you?"

She frowned for no reason. Maybe it was becasue she thought he would catch on to what she had just done. She knew she had to leave races at outside and not squabble over nothing, but she somehow didn't feel right in this Inn. She moved around on her seat uncomfortably. it was not the seat, but her lack of patience. She nodded to the man that had just introduced himself to the other girl, Alessio. "Water," She said, not feeling like talking and then adding "please" to not sound so rude.

Alessio nodded to the young pirate and turned around to get some water out of a tap and into a glass. He came back and set it down in front of her.
"Whats put you in such a dismall mood this evening madam?"

Morwen cought the madam in his strange talk. She had never been called that before. In fact she wasn't quite sure what "madam" was used for. So her frown small frown stayed. "Oh, nothing," she said too quickly. "Must be the weather," she said too fast again. Fast enough to not even think about what she just said...

Alessio noted that she was in a very unconfortable position here. Years of King had allowed him to easily pinpoint the honest from the less. He saw a small bulge from inside her coat, and he already had his suspisions about where she had come from.
"My apologies again," He said to the firsy girl again before returning to Morwen, "Now miss, as a patron of this city I am obliged to ask what that is in you coat pocket. So, you can either tell me what has happened, or I can give you to someone else who will find out." His tone was hardly aggressive or intimidating, but rather in a understanding tone, like a father would talk to a daughter...

Morwen scowled at him. She knew this wasn't the right place to come in. But noticing that he said "tell me" instead of "give it", she noted this to use this against him if he took them from her. She slowly reached into her vest, not even glancing at the other girl. She produced a gold box from her vest pocket and set it on the counter and 5 necklaces made of crystals and jades. A medal was taken out too. Made of pure silver with a crown and a sword engraved on it. It shown brightly in the lamp's light. A perfectly rounded and polished rock was taken out aswell. The beauiful layers wrapped around it's middle.
She opened the gold box to reveal hand-made mirriors with ornate designs carved and spiraled into them. She slowly looked up to him with proud eyes. A guilty smile spread across her face like slapped on butter. Her freckles really stood out from the wrinkles that were created from the smile. Her hand was at the ready. ready to grab the items if he tried to take them. It was in her blood to steal and she couldn't help that. But she knew she could help her love for stealing MORE than one item. Her hand shook as it rested above her knee, preparing to pounce at any second.
A plan was already rushing through her mind. If he made any movement showing he were to take the posessions, she would grab-n-go. Her blue eyes were still set, unblinking, on his face. She hoped he would think she was an amazing theif to steal this much. But she had a feeling, like all the others she ran into around here, that this one would be no different and would try to steal them.

Khalora looked carefully at the assorted pieces at jewelery. At first he though it was just a simple snatch and go, but more and more kept coming out. His eyes bulged as the stream of preciousness streamed out. Holy God, this girl was good...
He half-laughed, "Pirates are pirates." He looked at her eyes, he had no intention of stealing the items off her. He was already well-off financially. "Put them away madam, and don't let me see them again." He didn't want anything to do with the theivery, but he was impressed nonetheless. "I think that thats earnt you a drink," said Alessio, and after a quick glance at the fallen angel to make she wasn't going to attack either of them after all of those jewels had come out, he went to make a large mug of rum.
"On the house..."

Rocky raised an eyebrow at the site of the other girl taking out all these precious items and showing them to Alessio after he asked her what she had in her pockets not blinking to see what Alessio would do. These pirates were something else she thought to herself as Alessio glanced at her as if to make sure she would not start a fight with the other girl but for what, so she shrugged it off as he turned to make a drink saying it was one the house she looked at the other girl that was siting by her "Do you sell those, or do you keep them after you take them?" she said asking the other girl about what she did with her treasures she always did wonder what pirates did with the itmes that they took or found.

Alessio set the mug down in front of the pirate, but didn't say anything further, listening to how she would reply to the fallen angel's question...

Morwen hesitated to reply. She did not want to reveal a pirate's secrets to everyone. But she smiled and answewred, "I'm suppose to bring them back to my ship, but I keep most of them for myself. The trick is to come off like you are not a good theif and then the other pirates won't get suspious about there being not many treasures. I say I'm too loud to go into... well... you know... the wealthy's places. I'll probably just give them the gold box, for it is too heavy for me to carry around constantly." She hopd she hadn't given out too much information. Her eyes swelled with surprise, "But don't tell any other pirate I just said that! Or any else one for that matter." She stared wide eyed at the other girl, hoping she would say she wouldn't tell.
Morwen forgot about the drink that Alessio was about to get. But apparently he had stopped to take in what she had just said.

Alessio smiled, "I've got many a secret from patrons who have come and gone to my house young lady. And I haven't uttered a word of them to anyone, and never will. Whats your keep you'll keep. I won't tell anyone." He tapped he mug again. "Yours to do what you want with now..."
He thought strangely, its usually the drunk ones who give up their secrets so easily, but he shrugged it off...
