Corum watched them, relaxing. The one over there that had been watching was apparently familiar with his new friend. He would no longer worry about that one, and shifted back to the girl sitting next to him still. She was very young, and a bit absent minded... Her emotions had shown very clearly on her face. Through his travels, in forced service to the one that killed him, he had seen many things, and had been to many lands... This one was of a seemingly familiar breed. He did not like to take those bodies, they didn’t last as long as others. A kelvic, if he wasn’t mistaken. The ones that shape shift. He’d almost been killed by one once, but luckily Ivak had shown him favor. His master was near by and still thought the young Nuit useful, so with a quick word he had killed the beast. He’d made the very stone rise from the ground in spikes as it pounced at him. Though the god was not likely the cause for his master saving him, he liked to thank the divine one anyway. His faith was usually the only think that kept him sane through out his fifty years as one of the undead. Fifty years without sleep, and far too much time to think.

" So your other form is a rabbit, then? That is nice... I tire of the humans here..." His eyes never closed, he had no need to blink. He breathed only so that he could speak, and only spoke when something interesting had happened, or some one interesting was near by. This was such an occasion. The others that seemed to be of her race could smell the death on him, and for that he was warry of her. They usually tried to kill him, and he was all alone this time...

“I’m a wanderer. I need little reason past that to be anywhere, friend,” she replied. She tossed a few glances at the drunkenly distracted men around her. If any man was listening, would anybody really be conscious enough to understand? “You remember the ‘Call’ that some of the Konti women feel. I’ve been serving as a town healer to those who have no one to mend their ailments.”

She looked into Leur’s eyes for a moment. “I just don’t know. The wanderlust is always driving me from place to place, and I can’t seem to settle comfortably anywhere. But it’s such a pleasure to see you again. Who are the others you were with?" Laoi whipped her head gently towards the Nuit and the...Kelvic, Laoi identified. The morphing sentient races were more difficult for her to recognize, but her insight was gradually improving.

Doing her best to calm her nerves, Iris sat as quietly as she could as the nuit said nothing for a moment, perhaps he was thinking. But then he spoke again, as he was sure to do, eventually.

The nuit seemed to state it, "" So your other form is a rabbit, then? That is nice... I tire of the humans here..." at least, that's how it sounded to Iris. It irritated her, not only that he seemed so knowledgeable in comparison to herself, and always seemed to be two steps ahead of her, but because he had gotten that part of her wrong.

Iris didn't really understand why she didn't like others to think of her being able to shift into another animal, she just knew that it bothered her. It's like when she got too cold in her dove form and ruffled her feathers. If she were in her dove form right now, she'd be ruffling her feathers.

"A dove, actually," she said, highly irritated with the nuit. Oh why oh why did I bother following him? she thought to herself, this obviously isn't going well.

"I understand," Leur chimed. "I'm also fond of aimlessly wandering from city to city, town to town. You should know, we did travel together for quite a while," he flashed a smile.
"Come, come, sit with me and my companions! The man is a Nuit, as I'm sure you've gathered. His name is Corum. He seems to be a gentle soul. As for the girl... I'm not sure of her name or race, although I'm sure she's not human." Leur glanced at his latter party, hoping they would accept Laoi.

Corum then remembered that she, just like any other living, needed sustenance. “ my apologies. I rather like birds better anyway... the air is so free... Do you want something to drink, friend? Sorry for not having offered earlier, some times i forget that others need to eat... I will pay.” It was long sense he’d had so many people to talk to. It had been a while sence he had bought anything, and he needed silver and copper mizas anyway... Though his unlife has been but one death after another, he was still kind. The only time he was unsafe was when he was threatened, angery, or in need of a new body.

Iris was startled by the nuit's strange manner. Especially when he just so happened to suddenly recall, that unlike him, she needed to eat and drink in order to stay alive. Supposedly, that wasn't the issue in his case, considering, he was supposedly, already dead.

Trying to forget about how strange she found him, and to concentrate on his words instead, Iris couldn't help but wonder what on earth it was that she actually wanted. She realized that she wasn't thirsty, or rather, that she didn't want to drink out of fear that she'd make the clump in her throat worse, so was she hungry?

Iris looked down at her stomach, and listened to it rumble, hungrily. She rubbed it with her right hand absently, and smiled weakly up at the nuit, "I guess I'm a little hungry," she said as she pulled an apple out of her bag. She had picked up a number of them on her travels.

The apple was a round red one, with just a single bruise on its right half, but she didn't care. Iris shined it on her dress before taking a big bite. Crunch. The apple was sweet and the juice dripped down the side of the apple and into the corners of her mouth. She thought she'd offer the nuit one, but then she remembered, that he didn't eat.

Laoi nodded. “Kelvic,” she told him.

Despite the predominantly human town, she managed to associate with the only nonhumans in the town, she was sure. There was little need to use a human name, then. Laoi would be appropriate for any introductions.

The Konti woman glanced back over to the table, breathing in more tension than was present before. Perhaps having other races join them would break up anything that was passing between the two. Or at least that was the optimistic way to see things. She decided to keep her observations to herself, vague excitement creeping into her. She had never come across a Nuit, much less spoke to one.

She turned back to face Leur. “Alright” was her consentment.

"Kelvic, eh? Makes sense; her face is rather animalistic." he replied. With that, Leur headed for the table.
The girl was eating an apple happily, looking as if she were savoring it rather intensely. Leur wondered how Corum and the girl were getting along... There seemed to be some tension between the two. The atmosphere seemed...awkward. Leur hoped that, once Laoi and he were present, things would calm down.

Corum simply watched. He remembered, so long ago, that the thing she held was not of his liking. He had been a lover of animal flesh in life. This girl seemed nice, though fear was present in her face... Corum then stopped breatheing. He did not plan on talking, and doing so was not required for him to exist. His chest calmed as he glanced at his friend and the girl who had followed them. Though he was young compared to others of his kind, Corum was an old man compared to his present companions. He longed for the morrow to turn, so that he may return to his studies. For now, though, he was content to stay in the company of others. He waved at the bar and ordered more water from afar. It seemed his aquatic friend had returned and he would most likely want more.

“ so, what brings you to this city? is there something that interest you?... and hello once more, my friend."

She allowed Leur to lead him back to his table, brushing off the eyes of the humans in the bar who rarely saw so many outside races in one place. Once close to them, she became aware of a myriad of feelings passing between them ranging from defensive to prying. Laoi found herself slightly nervous to be around the Nuit. The undead unsettled her, and though she was compelled to know more about him, she exercised causal caution with the stranger. He must be used to that, she told herself to try to avoid labeling herself as xenophobic.

The Kelvic was an entirely different creature all together. Laoi found herself more comfortable with her and stood on the side of Leur closer to the girl. After meeting the eyes of both of her new acquaintances, she watched for her companion's response.
