Stumbling down the streets tripping over everything that happens to be in his path and some of the stuff that's not. This time I may have overdone it a little but damnit there is nothing to do this town. " There we go my lack of ability to control my self is the town's falt. Yea fuck this place. Wait am I saying this out loud, this can be bad." I've got to get a grip and figure out something to do with my time. What can I do? My talents are spy work but this place has no politically thing so that's out. I can fight but nothing ever happens here anyway and I try not to cause trouble. "I cause my self trouble but thatssss itta". People always look down on me and I don't get it. I'm an upstanding member of the community. As he thinks this he falls into a nearby wall. Eyes flash black for a moment " who the fuck out that there?" They turn back to yellow a moment later when he forgets about the misplaced wall or that he hit it. Only other talent I have. Well, they are not going to erect a statue of me for that. He falls over laughing way too hard at the bad joke in his head. He sets there in the street trying to recompose himself as it begins to rain

Nicolae had taken the evening off. Nova had fit in great at the Tavern, and because of that he finally decided to let someone else run it for a night. He had never not worked at the tavern in all the years it had been open, which was quite a few. He wandered through the streets looking at every little detail. Nicolae loved this town. There had been times where he thought he should move on but something always drew him to stay, and with this new influx of people coming, his talents and guidance was needed. Time to spread your own wings, the parting comment from the newest patron at his bar lingered in his mind. Maybe he was right. Everyone here was accepting, but he still shudder at the thought of revealing his true heritage.
As Nicolae's mind ran on and on with meaningless nothings he heard a faint crash nearby, and what sounded like laughing. Fearing someone was hurt he changed his direction. Once he got to where he thought the noise came from, he looked around. Nicolae didn't see anything at first. As he was about to turn and walk back the way he came he heard a chuckle. Snapping his fingers he summoned a ball of light. In its glow he found the cause of the ruckus. "Oh its you." Nicolae said matter-of-factly. He walked over to Markus and extended out a hand. "Wow bud. Did you bathe in the mead this time?"

Of all the people to find me, it would have to be this judgmental asshole bit where is expected scorn and ridicule what he found was something else. He takes the man's aid and stands to his feet. "Yea. I kinda did I guess" he smirks slightly. "I thought you lived behind that counter of yours. What brings you out to the slims wit us common fork." 'Alright Markus the new word for the year is moderation'. When your hell-born patron is telling you to chill out. Than you have a real problem. You need a new patron.

"I do live there but I needed to step away. Things floating through my mind." Nicolae explained. He didn't want to say that he found trustworthy help considering Markus had lasted all of like twenty minutes. "Can I help you get somewhere Markus? I know our last meeting wasn't the greatest but that was the businessman side of me." He put his arm around the man to help him get his barrings. "Moderation my friend, over-indulgence gets you in trouble."

"Moderation" maybe they are right. "I live my life feeling everything that everyone else feels but I can't relate to it or understand why. It's like being in a rooms full of people but all of them seeking different languages. The alcohol is the only way I have found to get it to stop."

"Have you learned to control it? Maybe quiet the noise or silence it all together?" Nicolae asked. "When I first got my powers, I heard everything the wind carried, saw what it had seen. It drove me mad." Nicolae shuddered at his thought. "But then I found Taos and he taught me to control it. To respect my elements and I was able to only see and hear when I wanted." Then Nicolae knew he would shock Markus. "Maybe I could teach you."

This curse has haunted him since birth but it never crossed his mind that he could learn to control it. Truth be told he had never thought of working on the human side of his powers. Everything was always about the demon powers and how to control them. " I did not know that it could be controlled at all. I know that we have not always seen eye to eye but I would not want a teacher that was a close friend. Someone that would want to take things easy on me. You're a good person but you can be an asshole and that makes you the best kind of trainer. I graciously accept and who knows maybe you can learn something from me as well."

"Maybe I will. After all lessons go both way." Nicolae looked Markus over again. "I have quite a few things I could teach you." Nicolae and Markus continued down the street. Mostly in silence. "First thing is first my friend. Stop the over drinking."
