Completed [The Rearing Stallion] A choice of light and dark

[Lucy Tides]

The heavy stares of the patrons at the bar made Lucy's skin crawl. A shiver ran down her back as she glanced at Fallon. The group all seemed to be at odds with Azzy for simple words. 'Then again, words do make the person.' She cracked her knuckles listening to Fallon wondering how Azzy would answer. She nearly had to bite her tongue back listen to the ridiculous response. 'This is getting to out of hand, especially the way she's talking us down like we're her lessors. Rude, all of it.' She stayed quite though watching Perc explode on the woman. She laughed at a few comments he made because they were blatantly truthful.

"What are my true feelings? Are you completely daft?" Lucy asked and laughed annoyed at the woman. "I live by a code like all of my pod, we wear our hearts on our sleeves and hide no thoughts. To me you are an annoying woman whose not only bothering everyone in the tavern but you can't seem to help but be incredibly cocky with everything you say and do, this makes you sound stupid because you can't keep to one thing." Lucy said and sat back in her chair, her hands folded in her lap.

"I don't think I can stand your presence anymore. So either you leave or I will." Lucy said and pushed herself away from the table. She stood up and stretched, cracking her back. 'Woman like her always hit the wrong nerves.'

[Fallon]

Fallon laughed. It was a deep, roaring mocking laugh. It was one that could only be used to express her deepest thoughts, of what she felt at the moment in time. For here before her who chased around tales, and spun herself a web so tight that Fallon doubted she would be able to get out in one piece. Be it truth or not, the woman before her had placed herself into a very deep hole. Lies or truth, it entertained her to say the least. And what made her laugh more was the willing parting of such information.
“And her before us, we have the most interesting of us all,” A smirk of amusement fell upon the face of Fallon “If we spin such tales this night, then I must spin my own to at least meet your shadow.”
Fallon went to her feet at that point her right hand performing a large sweeping gesture whilst her other simply hung at her side. She smothered a laugh, reaching into her depths to pull forth what would have sounded more like a farfetched story than any actual truth.

“From the icy plains of Avanthal to the darkest of dungeons in Sahova, I have travelled throughout these lands, never resting, never sleep. To train myself to a marvellous and fantastic mage better than any have ever seen! For I am a genius upon geniuses’, wise upon wise! For even I, this drunken half-wit, have stared into the eyes of wisdom and learning and reached forth into its depths and grasped upon it,” she flashed a grin, her mind shaking off the notion for combat. The fight, to her, was already won even with the rather grouchy remarks from both Perc and Lucy. She gave a low chuckle and begun easing her astral back into her flesh, “I have fought with monsters, and swum in the sea. I have roamed upon the land in the wake of death itself and dragged myself free of it! For I am the ridiculous Fallon Skylar, who dares destine to be a Knight.”

Lies, or truth? Either way, even to the patrons of the tavern who watched the young woman spew nonsense gave the odd chuckle here and there. She shook her head at Azcadelia, as the final strings began to attach themselves back to her physical. “I think, I should make a job of myself as a story teller. What do you two think? Actually, dear people, what do you all think? Am I not indeed good at this fable making?”
There was a few mocking laughs from other patrons, a shout here and there of her being terrible, but Fallon accepted it with good grace. It had been a while since she last let out a rather spontaneous display, and it would no doubt be the last in a while. Fallon straightened herself, “Now, I believe you have your answer from my good friend Perc here. You know how to get there, and there is little more that we can offer in services to you Spy.”

It was at this point she gave a nod to Lucy “And thank you, dear Lucy for you input. May we have further discussions about your people at some point? I found it after all rather fascinating,” She gave a smile, a real smile, not the mocking sort that she gave towards the redhead. She gave a gentle clap of the hand against Lucy’s arm before returning her attention once more to the table before her.
“And so, my dears, with that final speech and story, and most importantly your knowledge sated Miss Azcadelia Rosan, I bid you all good night and hope you have much merry making,” she gave a nod to Perc and Lucy, but held her gaze to Azcadelia “Perc, do be a good squire, no, gentleman and make sure our dear Lucy gets back to her lodgings- in whatever form that may be- when she is done. Now, come Orvin.”
And with that Fallon took a simple stride away from the table and towards the exit of the Rearing Stallion, head held high and her shoulders back, before finally disappearing through the door.

[Azcadelia]

Perc spouted off about Azcadelia's lying, which lies they were not. All was a true tell but no doubt the influence of drink, others and exhaustion had faded his mind. Perc seemed, to her, like a dog following behind Fallon and her ways. Lucy's tale was excused, Azcadelia was more focused on Fallon. The shorter woman held a grin before spouting off in a roaring laughter and jutting up to address the entire tavern.

This display made Azcadelia muffle a laugh. Hilariously entertaining this was. Fallon told of her experiences and all other tales, lies or not, it was attention grabbing. The patrons of the bar hollered out at Fallon, some of yays others of nays. Once Fallon was through with her gallantry she turned her glare to Azcadelia and Azcadelia, in return, smiled at the woman. After Azcadeli'a smartassed notion Fallon hollered something to Perc and left the table.

The eyes of the patrons watched Fallon as she exited The Rearing Stallion. Azcadelia watched, too. Once Fallon had left the red haired magus turned back to face Perc and, the now standing, Lucy. "Quite a dramatic display," Azcadelia said mockingly before waving over a bar waitress and handing a coin bag to her. "This woman and his man's drinks are own me," she smiled at Perc and tilted her head in a girlish manner, "my treat."

Her words spent, her mannerisms apparent Azcadelia walked towards Perc and laid a tender kiss on his cheek before striding off out of the tavern being Fallon. Half-way through the bar she turns and blows a kiss to Lucy. "You be a good girl now, Lucy." Those were her final words before the bell of the tavern door chimed at her exit.

Once outside Azcadelia made her way to the Dyres District. Of course she had known where the Knight's Recruitment Office was, she had lived in Syliras her whole life. That, and only that, was the lie she told.

((OOC: That'd be my exit out of the thread. I have to go sign her up for the Knight's. Pleasure threading with you all! You'll be seeing much, much more of Azcadelia in the future.))

[Perc]

Perc just couldn't help it, the way fall was pulling the woman's story into discredit by telling a completely of the wall story was just to funny for him to keep glowering at the annoying wretch of a woman and he burst out in laughter at the way she was acting. "that was just plain terrible Fall." Perc said with an amused shake of his head, his anger mostly blown over after her comical act. "I'm going home as well Fall, I gotta get up early for my patron anyway." He downed the last of his ale and stood up. Not to mention the mood was completely ruined by the mess the redheaded woman had made anyway. At Fall's request to get lucy home Perc just gave a glance at the tall woman, noting that indeed she seemed to be a bit tipsy and he quite clearly remembered her asking for a tour around syliras. Even though she looked like a person who could take care of herself perc wouldn't want her to get lost while half tipsy, people did stupid things when under the influence of alcohol. "Sure sure fall, I'll get her home, if she doesn't mind. Though I doubt she really needs it." Perc said in a matter of fact tone to the leaving Fall. When the woman began to speak again he couldn't hold back the tired sigh he let out at the way she was acting again. And when she leaned in to give him a kiss on the cheek Perc roughly shoved her away with an annoyed look on his face. When the woman left the bar perc let out a sigh of relief. "I hope I never need to see that woman again," he turned towards lucy. "So do you want me to escort you home or do you think you are able to get home without any of your help?" The large man stood up and paid the waitress for his ale. "Just keep the money the woman gave you as a tip. I'm sure not going to use or take it." Perc said with a hint of distaste in his voice as he mentioned the woman. Before turning back towards Lucy waiting for her answer.

[Lucy Tides]

The young Svefra watched her silver-tongue friend leave with her faithful wolf companion. She grimaced as Azzy paid for their drinks then tried to kiss Perc. She couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to slug the woman in the face as she told her to be a good girl. 'Girl? In my society I'm considered a leader!' She ticked her tongue on the roof of her mouth in disgust and then heard Perc sigh in relief. She watched him pay for his ale but like most Svefra she wasn't going to turn down her free drink so she made no attempt at the coins in her pocket.

"If you don't mind, I actually don't even remember how I got here." Lucy said honestly and started out of the tavern. She walked out the doors and waited there wondering which way it was to her place. "Do you know that in my society eighteen is considered to a be an independent? Honestly the nerve of that red head calling me a girl." She seethed through her teeth and shook her head, making her longs black curls go with it. "Anyways, which way to the rented apartment from here? Just point and I'll go, I think you've had a long enough night and shouldn't have to worry about me." Lucy said and yawned, she was always more tired when she drank.

[Perc]

Perc followed lucy outside of the rearing stallion. He gave looked through the street, letting out another relieved sigh when the red headed woman was gone. 'Thank god she actually left.' perc thought. He nodded in agreement with lucy's statement. "She did act like a complete vagik to everybody, looking down like that on everybody. Besides did you hear her talk about how she was the child of a crime ring boss? Every child in syliras knows the knights have syliras completely under control. If she wasn't lying about that she really has lost every contact with the reality she lives in," Perc said in distaste about the woman. "Sure, just follow the road to the left of the rearing stallion," he pointed in the right direction for good measure. "Take the second road to the left, follow it to the end and go right, you should see the apartments right before you then," Perc explained. "Well, I'll see you later then?"

[Lucy Tides]

Lucy listened to Perc express his opinion about the red head, feeling as if Perc was talking for her as well. She watched him point in the right direction and smiled at him. "Of course, I'm sure we'll run into each other again. If you ever need anything it's apartment 345." Lucy said and turned down the right corridor. She stumbled her way down it unwilling to listen to Perc's answer because her eyes kept shutting. 'Wonder when I will be able to see them all again. Got work tomorrow.'
