Nicolae stood at his bar as he waited for for his patrons to come and get their fill.
Hearing the door open and close he looked up. "Welcome! Take a seat and order away..."

Starting over is never easy but after his heritage was discovered in the city he grew up in Markus did the only thing he could think of, run. Maybe this mist falls will be different, he thinks to himself as he walks into the pub. "I could use a drink of whatever you got that can help me relax and please tell me that you have food hear," he says in a slightly strained voice while looking at the man behind the counter.

Nicolae watched as a man sat down at the bar. "I got some food here. Let me grab you a bite." The barkeep place a mug of whiskey on the counter and slid it to the new comer. "First ones always on the house for first timers," said Nicolae with a coy smile. He went to the back and brought out a plate of bread, cheese and cured meat. "Welcome to Mist Falls my dear."

With no hesitation, he starts eating and drinking. The food barely chewed before he swallows and the drink consumed way to fast considering the proof of the liquor. In no time he has finished his food and drink and seems to have calmed down from his ravunis frenzy. He looks up and remembers not only his lack of manners but that this food will only take the edge off for a few days. He is still weak and pail for now. "I'm sorry sir. You must think of me absolutely barbaric. Please forgive me but I have not ate in days and have been feeling quite under the weather" he takes a moment to brush the crumbs off and recompose himself. "May I have another mug?" He sets a small pouch of silver pieces on the bar.

"Barbaric...no....a hungry traveler...yes," joked Nicolae. It was not uncommon for a passerby to stop in and eat and drink their fill. Nicolae produced another plate of food for the traveler. "The name is Nicolae," he introduced collecting the coin. "Where be it you travel from?"

"Markus and as for where I am traveling from I would rather not speak on at this time if you don't mind" he seeks of his past with hesitation. "I am here on a fresh start and would simply prefer not the have the past tarnish the present. At least not right away." He takes a sip from the mug and a few bites of food. "Being the local barkeep I'm sure that you have all sorts of stories about the town. I'd like to hear some if you have the time"

"The stories are numerous my friend, why just the other day I had a horse walk through the bar. Invited of course." said Nicolae slyly, thinking back to just a few days before. "You never know what you will find here: magic, passion, vampires, fairies and even a few lycans. As far as your past is concerned. Taos our Mayor gives everyone a fresh start."

"Do you ever have trouble at the bar. I'm looking for a job and have a talent for being rather convincing when it comes to calming people down" his voice starts off strong than kinda tapers off as he relies on how strange that must sound as well as that it came out of nowhere. "Also are there any rooms available here or elsewhere?"

"There are always a few bad apples." Said Nicolae. Everyone in town knew that the tavern was a place of peace. "I could always use a hand. The room I have here is occupied but I believe I could make room at my dwelling for a fine man like you," offered the barkeep with a wink. "You can start tomorrow."

Taken back by the statement he recoils slightly as his eyes change as if someone placed drips of die in the centers of his pupil's red jets out from the center and slowly consumes all the wight. "The job means a lot but I'll have to decline about the room at your place. That just would not work out" his voice sounding slightly gravely as he spoke but still appreciative. In a similar fashion, his eyes change back to blue. "I'll see you for work tomorrow. I have to go." He bolts out the door with the kind of speed you would expect if the bar was on fire

Nicolae stood at the bar dumbfounded by the sudden exit of the traveler. "Well then..." said Nicolae as he washed a glass and returned to waiting for the next patron.

Azura wondered into the tavern looking around curiously. There were so many different scents in this town that she'd never experienced before. She wasn't sure where to start exploring, but the rumble in her stomach told her to follow the strongest scent that was food related. Not to mention seeing someone look like they almost bolted out the door peeked her curiosity. Her eyes roamed from the ceiling, to the fire, eventually landing on the barkeep. "Uh, have any specials for a wondering traveler?" She ask with a playful grin.

"Why Yes!" exclaimed Nicolae. He was always excited to meet new people. "First drink is on the house." He turned and walked into the back room. When he returned he presented a tray of meat, cheese, and bread. "I am always prepared for a hungry traveler." "I can provide anything you could need. Food, drink, a bed. Just name it." Nicolae left to new comer to ponder her thoughts over the food. "I'm always around if you need me." he said with a wink.

Free was definitely one of Azura's favorite words, so she gladly took a seat as he brought out some food. Her eyes widened at the assortment before her, "I see! Do you usually get a lot of them?" She asked curiously as she dug in to the food starting with the meat. She felt like she hadn't had any in ages. She was so engrossed int he food she hadn't even looked up at him to be able to tell he'd winked at her, but that didn't mean she wasn't listening. She knew she needed all those things, even if just for a night or two. "Thank you sir." She chimed once she was completely done, "I owe you a favor for the kindness, but in the mean time do you know of a safe place I can rest?" She could sleep in her fox form in the forest that was surrounding the town she supposed, but she was never really comfortable that way, perhaps it was the human part of her that didn't like it.

"We seem to be getting a lot of newcomers here recently," said Nicolae. He watched as she ate the food happily. He could tell she had traveled quite a distance. He looked up from cleaning his mugs when she asked about a place to stay. "I do have a couple rooms at my place. I am never there. I pretty much live here." Nicolae gestured to his tavern. It was more like home to him. Perhaps he should open an inn. He was hardly at his abode any way. "I can show it to you if you like, and no kindness needed to me. Just share the kindness with others." With all that being said he poured another round for the woman and refilled her plate.

"Maybe something's in the air." She joked giggling. Azura paused a moment when he offered up his own home. While she wasn't really in much of a position to decline...she wasn't so sure about staying at a strangers home with no expectations. Her mother's teachings to be cautious of strangers starting to nag her in the back of her mind. "Ok, but let me start with you. I'd feel awful for getting something for nothing. especially something as big a a room to stay in your own home." She explained as he gave her even more food and drink, "How about a trade? You say you're here most of the time, what if I upkeep you're home while I stay? I can clean, cook, run errands, and do yard work!" while she had a little money on her paying for rent would be a bit much, and she still had to afford food after tonight. "It'll be spotless I promise!" she flashed him a grin and a thumbs up.

"It's a deal." Nicolae said and held out his hand. "Welcome again to Mist Falls. You can find my house across the road. Its unlocked, help yourself."

Azura was grinning from ear to ear! How did she wind up so lucky as to run into possibly one of the kindest strangers in the world? She eagerly shook his hand and then finished her meal. "Thank you!" She chimed and hopped up out of the seat. "I'll go find it and get started." He reminded her of what she'd expect a guardian angel to be like. Then just like that with a simple wave she was off.
Once outside the door she made sure the coast was clear of others before using her magic to turn invisible. He said the house was unlocked but just in case she walked up to the wrong one, or even the right one she didn't want something thinking she was breaking in or something.

Nicolae smiled to himself. He honestly loved helping people. There were always travelers that came to his tavern. Even with his dark past his angelic attitude was still there. He was truly a guardian of the town. Content that another was welcomed properly, he returned to cleaning his drinkware and waited for the next person to grace his establishment.

As Kora made her way into the Falcon Tavern, she looked around, taken slightly aback not so much by the variety of beings that were populating the place, as she heard about Mist Falls beforehand, but mostly the fact that the pub seemed to have such a good aura to it: no one being at each other's throats, regardless of the race, was really refreshing . "The gift." she said beteen her and herself, with a slight smile on her face, as she was pleased to see such a cohesiveness and peace she only knows from the Heavens where she comes from.

Nicolae tensed up as he felt the presence of an angel. He hadn't come across one since he had been banished from the heavens. Shaking off the feeling he turned to his new patron. "Blessed be and welcome to Mist Falls! What can I get for you?"

A young man slowly walks in the tavern he sniffs at the air a moment before lower a very ornate and odd looking walking stick, it's gold plated with a large clear quartz stone at the too about the size of a man's fist. He taps his way across the floor over to a stool at the bar. "Hello?!? Is someone here? I would hate to think that I showed up after hours." He sits on the stool and wraps his left leg around his walking stick pining it upright against the stool.

"Well hello my dear boy," said Nicolae as he walked out of the back room. "What can I do for you?"

He turns towards the voice his hands gliding along the bar to keep his bearings. "Yes the name is siriso, I would like a little food, a little drink, and any info you can give me about this town. I feel compelled to settle down here I've not the slightest clue why" despite his young appearance he seeks as if he is far older then he appears. "Have you dwelled here long sir....?" He realized at this point he had no name to five the man. He moves around slightly showing discomfort in the way his sentence was left hanging.

"Sure thing." Nicolae returned to the backroom to provide the array of meats and cheeses along with a mead. "First one is always on the house." Nicolae looked the male over, there was something ancient about the young man in front of him. "The name is Nicolae, this is my tavern. Welcome to Mist Falls." He pondered the boy's question for a moment. "There is lots to do around here. The falls are amazing to cool off in, even though we are deep in the forest, it still gets hot as hell here." Nicolae turned to polish some mugs as he thought some more about the guy's strangeness. "I have been here for a minute."

He looks to the direction of the voice quite puzzled. "I'm not as much here of the entertainment and not here for the scenery ether if you could not tell." He smiles at his own joke before continuing. "No. If I am being lead to living here it is for a greater calling. Tell me of your fellow citizens you have met during this 'minute' of your stay here." He feels around for the food and drink and begins slowly eating after separating the cheese from the meet on the player. Then turning his mug and sliding it no more than an inch to the right

Nicolae felt stupid for his comment. He watched as Siriso moved the stuff around. "There are many people here." he started, "Here you can find what you are looking for. This place has a way of 'bringing you home.' Many people are drawn to this town because here they can find peace and freedom from judgment and ridicule." Nicolae paused for a moment. This man was strange. He gave off an eerie feeling. "Are you looking for something specific?"

He looks concerned for a moment. "Where you find peace and freedom you soon find evil and corruption there. If I'm here then there is a storm on the horizon." He eats a few more pieces of meat and cheese before standing up and grabbing his walking stick. He turns to look directly at the barkeep. "If you don't use them more they will grow weak. If this is a place without persecution as you describe perhaps this could be a place for you to spread your wings as well and not just helping your patrons to spread theirs" he turns towards the door and taps his way out

Nicolae looked blankly at the blind man. 'How did he know?' Absentmindedly he moved his hands to shoulders. Nicolae never thought about revealing himself. He had always believed that he was placed here to guide others. Nicolae was an angel after all, even if it was only half.
He watched as Siriso walked out. Nicolae was truly baffled.

Nova nearly bumps into a man as she rushes in. "Sorry" she breathed as she comes up to the bar. I was...hungry." And she absently wipes her mouth as she moves into the kitchen and takes a few rabbits from her bag. "For the stews" she said as she adverted Nicolae's gaze. "What have i missed?" She inquired of her boss as she picked up a rag and looked around. "I see new faces!"
