Alstair smiled as he led Ilithylia down the streets admiring the sights and sounds of the city of his youth.

Ilithyia smiled into the night, marveling at the city.

"Oh, how beautiful it all looks! So much different from Muffey and Brunnhold." She laughed into the night, strangely intoxicated by the thought of actually staying out late for once.

Alstair raised an eyebrow.
"You sound as if this is your first time in the city?" He said amused." I can't blame you though. Even now after all these years I still marvel every time I pass through the gates."

"It is my first time in this city. I only got here a few days ago! This was actually my first day of service." Ilithyia grinned again, biting her lip. "Up until today, I pretty much slept, cleaned the barracks and read. But today was the end of the monotony!" She smoothed her gown with a free hand, and quickly touched her hair, making sure it was still set right. She shouldn't care how she looked; no matter what, she was only ever average. But tonight she did care, and liked the feeling that someone was actually admiring her looks.

Alstair laughed.
"On the contrary. Things around this city tend to keep orderly. It boils down to patrols and more patrols. But, with any luck I will be stirring the pot enough to rile some action from the resistance and others." He said politely as they strolled. "I hope you do not mind if I indulge in drinking tonight madam. It has been a great while since I have had a beautiful women and a strong drink in the same night."
As they walked Alstair spotted the doorway to the Paper Tiger.
"Ah here we are. Such a homey little tavern."

Beautiful... the word should have felt like slap, and usually had, in the past. But from Alstair, it sounded like he meant it. And that, more than anything, was why her eyes in that second seemed to mist, and she well and truly gave up fighting against her desire.

"I wouldn't mind, though I think I'll abstain, Mr. Murdoh. I'm not very good at holding my liquor." Ilithyia said with a grin. As they entered, Ilithyia understood why Alstair called it homey; if felt like walking into your favorite bar, no matter how far you were from it. The cherry wood warmed her heart; her own room at home had been in the rich, reddish color.

Alstair looked about trying to find a spot amongst the crowded bar. He did not spot any familiar faces which, probably was a good thing.
"Let us try to find a spot shall we?" he said moving towards an empty table in the rear of the room.

Nodding happily, she followed his lead, until they were situated at a small table near the back of the room. Ilithyia cecked her hair once again, and smiled at Alstair.

"So, tell me more about yourself, Mr. Murdoh."

Alstair settled into his chair.
"What is there to say. I am a mere soldier with a dream. In the past I have done some regrettable acts and wish to make amends for them. When I was your age I shipped off to Hesse. I did some terrible things that I regretted and found out that it was all for nothing. I shortly afterwords swore to put an end to meaningless bloodshed." He said looking around for a waitress.

Ilithyia smiled sadly the words, and laid her fingers across his arm.

"Well, I think you are doing wonderfully." So, he was a war-torn soldier as well as being a revolutionary. It startled her to realize how much tat effected her; she really was a sucker for tragedy.

(( Well, I vote we wait for a waitress and call it a night! This has been an amazingly fun progression, but I'm sleepy! XP ))

Alstair looked at her surprised at first then almost happily. He would never had thought that the day would lead him into such interesting things. he almost was tempted to settle down right then and there. But, his dream still hung about him like a specter and would forever over shadow him. He only hoped it would not be the death of him or this girl.
((Agreed. I have work in the morning...stupid work study...))

((Hey guys, would you mind putting up a timestamp, I'm not sure what time you're in. I'll post as though it's evening though.))

((Also, Fion is a bar. maid. *poses heroicly* *falls over* XD ))


Oh Gods, it was him again. Fion swept through the crowds serving drinks as fast as she could manage them. She took a split second to glance over at Alstair.

He had a woman with him. Well, well, well.

Fion handed out her last round of drinks and went over to serve the couple.

"Hello Sir, Madame." Fion said, ducking her head politely. "Is there anything I can serve you tonight?"

Smiling Alstair looked at Fion.
"Ah madam Fion! How are you this fine evening?" He said sweetly."Madam Ilithyia and myself were feeling in need of a relaxing evening after hearing the horrid diatribe of Hanz Morde. As you can imagine I am in dire need of a drink."
This last line was uttered with an ironic edge as he thought back to his talk with Dom Leon. Fion had seemed interested in their doings then would she be so curious tonight?

Ilithyia smiled at the BAR MAID, and dipped her head politely. So, he was a regular here too. Shaking her head, Ilithyia merely removed her hand from Alstair's arm and rearranged her napkin. The woman's presence had at least reminded that some propriety was called for.

((lawls, SUPER FION, waiting tables at the speed of light! Is it a Waitress? A Flight Attendant? No, it's a BAR MAID, to the rescue! ))

((I'll remember next time!))

Alstair looked at Fion bemused.
"What would you suggest madam?" He said politely enough."I myself would prefer a good strong drink. Preferably something that makes me think traitorous thoughts this fine evening." He laughed as he finished speaking.
It was a rumbling sound that came from the throat. A strong life filled noise.

"Miss Ilithyia what will you be having tonight,my treat of course." He asked turning his attention to the younger Seventen.

She merely grinned at Alstair, and delicately mused. Brushing her hand over where her snap should be, she smiled jovially.

"I'm tempted to try something stronger, but a rum free Rare Whice sounds nice about now."

Alstair's eyes wandered past where Ilithyia's hand had moved.

"I think I'll have a Vulker's Sap with Ice please." He said pleasantly."I get the feeling you must have a sweet tooth young miss."

Biting her lip in childlike embarassment, Ilithyia averted her eyes and nodded.

"I do indeed, Mr. Murdoh. I'm afraid it's one of my few indulgences." It was a silly thing to admit to, to have a desire for the decadent tastes, but nonetheless she was doing just that. Tonight felt like a night for foolishness.

Alstair smiled at the his young partners reaction.
"It is nothing to be ashamed of. It shows you are still young at heart in my eyes which is a truly wonderful thing. I much prefer that over someone who is bitter and never sees any pleasure such things." He replied cheerfully smiling at her.

She smiled at Alstair's responce, and tilted her head in agreement, but also in a question.

"I guess I never really looked at it that way before. I just saw my fondness as a flaw, a vice even. Then again, I never thought of youth as a good thing, either." Ilithyia smoothed her dress, again worried over her appearance. Had she chosen poorly in dress? Second guessing was a pain, but she really couldn't help herself.

Alstair looked her over carefully. His eyes were not as intense as they normally were and even held a small bit of softness in them.
"Youth is not something that should be frowned upon. I wasted mine slaving away to master the arts of steel and blood and now wish that I had simply lived a normal life without the pain and bloodshed I caused. Don't regret being young it is a precious gift."

Such an impassioned speech from him startled her, and the softness in Alstair's eyes just about made her stand up and hug him. Oh Alioe, he's a broken toy soldier, mad as any moony, and here is is, sitting with me after sweeping me off my feet with talk of revolutions. And clocking hell if I don't want him all the more.

"I will heed your words, Mr. Murdoh, and try and enjoy my youth as best I might." While the words themselves could have been taken as a flirt, the tine was more serious, and somehow more sincere.

For the briefest moment color filled Alstair's cheeks.
"I...apologize. I tend to get rather passionate over minor things..." He murmured as adjusted a button upon his cuff. "Perhaps it is a sign that already I'm going senile!" He laughed at the comment his voice slightly strained.
Lord man, you're acting like a schoolboy! Get a hold of yourself!
He already was mentally kicking himself for getting carried away again.

Seeing Alstair's sudden discomfort, Ilithyia reacted without much thought. Pulling one of his hands into hers, she smiled encouragingly at him, eyes wide.

"Please, don't be ashamed by passion, Mr. Murdoh! There are too many ways to be bland, and not enough people throwing themselves into what they believe in." She laughed happily, thrumming with the innocent crush she'd developed. "Besides, I enjoy talking to you when you're so feeling about a subject."

Alstair smiled and made no effort to move his hand.
"Thank you miss Ilithyia for being able to stand my banter. Many find my...devotion a bit unnerving." He replied his voice dripping with a sarcastic tone as he glanced briefly at Fion.
