Walking into the tavern at the start of business he had good hopes of an exciting workday as a cooler. Then it sinks in that most of the people here are good-natured and that he was more likely to get into a fight than most of the kind well mannered and boring citizens of this one, two maybe three-horse town. Laughing out loud at the joke he had told in his head a few things became obvious. He was already getting drunk. He will spend most of his paycheck here long before he gets it and last but not least he will probably never be needed to stop a bar fight before it gets started unless he starts it. "I'm just to damn lazy and drunk for all that" did I say that out loud? He thinks to himself.

Nicolae stared down Markus. "Are you drunk? I won't tolerate that here. I pride myself on running a safe and respectful Tavern." He looked again at the man and waved his hands. A chair moved across the floor and a puff of wind knocked him down into it. Sit here and sober up.

"Give me about five minutes" and I'll be fine. I have not been able to relax much since I got here and I guess I got carried away" despite his intoxication he seems to be very aware of his surroundings. As the chair slides and he falls into it he turns the chair in one direction and his body in the other, so he is now sitting trading the back of the chair. He leans across the back of the chair. "Ok boss perhaps we had different ideas as to what this job is I signed up for. I thought the point was for no one to know I work here till I have to act. So that said. What is my job?"

"Tis not true work to just sit around. Not many people act up in my place. Indeed I do like the extra hand, but showing up to work in such a state is unacceptable." Nicolae looked the man directly in the eye as he spoke. The Tavern was a place of peace and he made sure of that. Sure some of the newcomers might need this lesson taught. Nicolae returned to the bar where he pour drinks for the customers he had. Thinking all the while about task he could have the man do while he worked. He did need a new bar-hand since Pachel had taken off. He reminisced of the fine boy that he had taken under his wings. He chuckled to himself at the unintended joke. Pachel had let him down with his hatred of others. Markus had the makings of a fine man. Maybe he would be better suited for the stables. Ayradosis and Rune would love to have fresh blood to torment.

"Look I meant no disrespect but my talents are combat, charm, women, stealth, and loyalty. I can't do much else. Most bars have trouble and were a bouncer tends to cause property damage and loss of customers I use a different approach." He pushes a mood of calm at his boss as a demonstration. He does not put all he has into it but more than enough to show it's usefulness

"Loyalty is something I can use. You can do your calming magic when the time is needed. Right now I need a bar hand on certain nights." Nicolae watched as Markus shot a wave of magic toward him. His angel side made him resistant and immune to some magics, empathy and projection was two of them. "It doesn't work on me boy." Nicolae stared him down again. "Are we going to have any other problems."

His eyes turn jet black as he stands up quickly when he hears the word boy. "The only problem you are going to have is if you call me boy again. Even if do think you can take me you can't do it without us fighting in a hole where your bar once stood" he shuts his eye and tries to calm down taking a few deep breaths. "As you can see service industry is not my strong suit. Sorry....."

"Clearly it isn't. You may take your leave now." Nicolae said authoritatively. He did not apologize for calling Markus 'boy'. "I will not fight on this ground but if you want we can take it outside. I will not be disrespected in my own establishment." Nicolae pointed to the door. Part of him wanted to be done with this encounter, but part of him wanted a good fight. He hadn't seen action in a long time.

" you disrespected me you pompous ass. The only thing I did was stand up for my self. You attacked me and I let it go out of respect than you call me a boy and I'm just supposed to take it. What kind of a DICKtator are you anyway? You can take back your words and we can let this go or we can take it outside and you will wish you had."

"We will have our time." Nicolae said smugly. He wanted to just smack the attitude of this man but he would not do it here. Not without being in a controlled environment.

"Sounds like a plan and a promise." His eyes turn yellow as he cools down "oh and a little tip for you be good be bad or be somewhere in between but dont be fake cuz once you do your nothing at all and you your good. So you get mad take it out on me if you need to the others may not take it as well. Just let me know fist next time" tosses a small purse of coins to him " go get whatever you need in order to get over your problem." His eyes turn blue "these people here, they need you" he walk out of the tavern

Nicolae watched the man leave. He didn't trust him. All was welcome here. Had Nicolae been challenged. Thought swirled through his head. They would meet again. Hopefully he wouldn't be intoxicated. Nicolae returned to his task. Still on edge from the altercation.
