"Don't mention it." Aaron said. He started pick up the chairs knocked over during the fight, as well as the other debris knocked onto the floor. "All right people. Get out of here if you've already eaten." He said, and he tried to get the people to leave the tavern. Some left, some stayed, though mostly the drunks. Aaron suspected it was because of the fact that most of them have no where else to go. He turned to look at the hole in the ceiling. He still couldn't beleive the man had done that, even more surprised he waited so long to put an end to the fight. Oh well, Aaron thought,It's his tavern. Aaron thought about leaving the tavern himself, but he figured he might as well stay to eat. He found the waitress under a table. He extended his hand to her. "Come on out, I think it's over."

"I don't care if there's fighting in the tavern! I only care if they touch the ale!" Riel grabbed her bow and quiver before slinging them over her shoulder hastily while running towards the outpost. "Come on Girl and Wolf thing!" She called out to them as she almost tripped in the snow but caught her balance ~How long until I can stop acting like this?~ The thought went through her mind with a sigh, running into the gates of the outpost.

The wounded waitress frowned as Karl started heading out. He didn't do anything but try to remove the werewolf from the tavern. A shaky sigh escaped her lips as she looked to the owner who staggered slightly. The old man was still drunk. Her eyes then glanced to the extended hand of Aaron's and slowly reached out her good one but paused, noticing her hand was covered in blood. Ew.
"Uhm, I'll get out on my own thank you." The girl spoke softly as she pulled her hand back and crawled out from under the table before standing. Her gaze shifted to her hand again before hearing the tavern owner begin to speak again, causing her to look up at him.
"And you, you coward, you're fired." The owner pointed a wobbly finger at the woman, sneering at her. "Hiding under the table. HA!" He turned towards his office again, muttering to himself while staggering back to it.
"Well..there goes my way for money." Cade's eyes flickered to the big bag of money left by Karl, thinking to herself. I don't deserve to get that much.. She quickly walked up to the table, trying to wipe as much blood off her good hand before grabbing the back of money and turning to look at Aaron. "Sorry for this inconvenience sir. The other districts of the city have taverns as well if you are still hungry." She bowed low to the vampire before stepping around the debris to head out the broken door to look for Karl. In hopes he hadn't gone far, she called out. "Hey sir? Mr. werewolf?!"

Karl barely made it two steps out of the door before dumping the drunk in the nearest rain barrel. He sputtered and thrashed as he regained consiousness and Karl threw him to the ground. "Thanks alot." Karl said, sarcastically, spitting on the ground next to him. "Just so you know if either of us tries going back in there we'll be given a brand new silver brooch."
Walking a little farther away he realized he had left some of his armor behind, and that he would have to remake it; he also remembered all the money he left for all the food he didn't eat and the ale he didn't drink. He kicked a rock in frustration. "I guess that wasn't the last customer of the day then."
"Hey sir? Mr. werewolf?!"
Karl turned to see the waitress, Cade, running after him. "Yes?" He called back.

"Rather not have this entire tribe of Werewolves wiped out with fighting.." Ninette claimed with a sigh. As Riel ran towards the outpost and tripped, a smirk crossed the girls lips in amusement. "Someone needs to slow down on the ale.." This was more muttered towards her pet wolf who sat obediently beside her horse until she looked down at him, running her horse forward. "Come on Torth!"
The wolf had his cold gaze locked on anything that moved within range of his owner until his ear flicked at his next command. Yipping, the wolf raced after the horse and Riel back to the Outpost.

Riel shook her head with a growl, looking back to the woman riding the horse, "That's it! I'm done with acting nice, funny, and friendly." Riel turned back around and ran up to the Tavern door before pushing it in; eyes gazing across it. "Alright, what's going on in here...?!" Her voice was cold, the commotion stopped as she spoke and drew her blade, "I asked... WHAT IS GOING ON ?!" The womans voice echoed throughout the outpost, alerting every Were that she was probably left unapproachable.

Aaron stood in the center of the tavern. He had no idea what to do now. Lunch was shot, his day was shot, and one of the patrons was almost shot. He walked out of tavern into the midday sun, flipping his hood up. "Have a nice day." He said to the werewolve that got thrown out with the drunk. He walked down the streets of the town square. Once he reached the Hemata District he walked into the tavern.
"Your rent's late." Said the tavern owner as Aaron walked in.
"I know." Aaron replied. He walked up to his room, took of his cloak, and lay down in his bed. He slept, hoping to wake up some time in the night.

Cade slid around the werewolf who had wounded her arm, eying him carefully as the dumbfounded man wandered off. Her gaze shifted over to Aaron as he made his way out and into the other direction. Of course she did this while still running and ran right into Karl, causing her to stumble backward in fear. "Oh! I'm sorry. uhmm.."
Losing her train of though, she tried to remember why exactly she was calling for him. She soon felt the heavy weight of the bag in her hand however. "Oh yes. Here, you might want this back." Cade lifted her hand up, holding out the back to him with her good arm before continuing. "Sorry if you smell human blood on it or see it. I uhm, tried to wipe off my hand as much as I could." She looked down to the gashes in her other arm, her sheer sleeve of her dress torn up and stained red. Her face twisted up in disgust and pain. This entire time she had been worried about the others that she just now realized the darn wound hurt! Why did you have to look?!

Karl looked down at Cade’s wounded arm and gave a disapproving grunt. “Naw, keep it,” he said, pushing the money bag away, “It’s the least I could do after I trashed your tavern like that.” He turned and looked back to the tavern; the owner was trying to lift the door back onto its busted hinges. “I’d like to help fix it up, but then again I also like living.”
The owner noticed them talking and gave a disgusted grunt. He gave them a ‘go away’ motion with one arm and continued with his work. “I don’t think your boss wants me within sight of this place, so I’ll just go.”

Cade looked down at the money he pushed away, sighing softly as he mentioned -your- tavern. "It's not my tavern so don't bother trying to pay for it." She held the bag of money out again persistently. Her head turned to follow Karl's gaze, frowning at the owner. She would go and help him but he fired her so why bother? "Don't bother."
She glared at the owner for trying to shoo them away and called out. "I'm coming back for my stuff. You're not keeping it!" Sighing she turned to look up at Karl again. "I've been fired so he's not my boss anymore." She lifted her wounded arm up to rub the back of her head, pulling back a handful of dark brown hair out of her face while thinking. Finally she muttered lowly to herself. "What am I going to do about a place to stay? My sister is still up there in Kaldaka and she sleeps outside in the wilderness."

Fired? Great, he got her fired. "Well, I guess I won't feel bad about taking this then." He said, grabbing the money. He notticed the owner looking very pissed off and stormed back inside, probobly to grab the gun again. "We should probobly get moving then." He put a hand on her shoulder and guided her a few steps forward, "Well, seeing as how I pretty much got you fired you're welcome to stay at my place for a while, I got an extra room. But I don't expect you to or anything, it's just an idea."

Cade allowed him to take the money, dropping her hand back over her wound to rub at it. "Least I can do after I snapped and beat a werewolf over the head with a broom. What was I thinking?" She turned to look at the owner storming back into his tavern until Karl rested a hand on her shoulder and guided her away. "Probably a good idea. No telling what he's getting." Cade took the few steps he guided her then kept walking, smiling at the offer. "Really? You'd do that? I'd really like that."

Karl and Cade walked through the square towards one of the back alleys. The weather was holding up for the moment and Karl was pleased. They arrived at his shop and Karl walked in through the front door, pushing the door open farther for Cade to follow him in. "Well, here it is."
The first floor was his shop. The right side of the room had a few benches and tables with various tools, metals, and half finished projects on them. A door opened out to a patio where the forge was. The left side of the room had a table with a few chairs, a brick fireplace, and a cast iron stove, as well as a few cupboards full of food and plates. The room was divided down the middle by a staircase leading to the second floor, "You're room is up the stairs to the left, there's only two doors so you can't miss it. The other is my room." The room Karl was giving her to use was his uncle's study. It wasn't exactly a bedroom, but it had a cot in it for some reason.

Cade followed him down the back alley to his place, her ocean blue eyes immediately darting from one end to the other curiously. Blacksmith, should of known. I wonder if this is the one my sister rips off all the time. She turned to look at him as he spoke about a room and took a mental note of where it is, glancing to the stairs. "Thank you for doing this."
She curiously wandered over to the right side, studying the tools a moment as if she's never seen them before. As she was inspecting them, she casually spoke about her sister. "You haven't been getting a female human as a customer constantly to shoe her horse have you? She makes me write coupons for free meals to rip the poor werewolf out of some gold. Not sure if it's for the one here or up north at Kaldaka." Cade was still talking casually, forgetting about her wound again. "Well anyways, it seems to work. Apparently she's a good persuader. Or maybe it's her pet wolf who persuades. Doubtful though, don't think werewolves would be afraid of a normal gray wolf." Finally the girl stopped talking, blushing. She looked down, allowing her hair to fall in front of her face. "I'm sorry. Talking too much."

Karl wasn't exactly paying attention. He had followed her to the shop and began to re-orgonize his belongings, listening off and on throughout her story. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad, he told himself, he would have someone to talk to. Heck, he could do with being a little more social. He then noticed she had stopped talking.
"I'm sorry. Talking too much."
"No, you're not." He glanced around the room a little, "Uhh, a human girl? Naw, I only get customers too cheap to use the big names out in the square. Besides, I don't do horse shoes. I learned armor from my uncle back in Kaldaka, then he opened shop here and left it to me when he died about a year ago." Karl motioned up to the second floor, "The room you're usin's his study. Come to think of it, I've never really took the time to really look around in there." He stopped for a moment, now he was rambling.

Cadelaria turned to look at Karl curiously as he spoke. Unlike him, she actually listened intently. It was something she was good at. Normally the poor girl was too shy to babble on like she just did. A smile crossed the woman's lips in relief to hear that this wasn't the werewolf. Though soon that smile faded at the mention of his uncles death, seeing that topic wasn't fit for a smile.
Her eyes flickered up to the stairs again before looking at Karl again. "I'm sorry to hear about your uncle." She tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear, wincing as she used the arm with the gashes. "You wouldn't happen to have some bandages and some water for my arm?" Maybe changing the subject would help not remind him of the deceased, nor her. She was about to mention her parents death but decided against it. She looked to see if Karl still had his gashes, unsure if he regenerated fast like people said werewolves could do.
ooc: I think it was Karl that got wounded right?

(( yes, Karl got some cuts over his face ))
Karl looked puzzled for a moment, did he have bandages? Being a werewolf he never really had any use for them, but it would be rude not to check. "Uhh, I don't know. Hold on, I'll check." He crossed over into his kitchen area and opened a few cupboards. "Don't worry about me and my uncle. He was really more of a teacher than a father to me." He opened a desk drawer and nessled in between a few folds of fabric and a box of sewing needles was a large tin with a red cross on it. Karl laughed to himself, that was Uncle, always ready for anything. He set the tin down on the table and started walking for the patio door, "I'll go get you some water, make yourself at home."

Cade was soon realizing that a werewolf probably didn't need use for first aid except for...What does Ninette deliver to the pack up north? Silver shots? No..that's poisonous to them. Her face twisted in confusion, putting a finger to her lips deep in thought. When she noticed him pull out a first aid box, a sigh of relief escaped her. "Alright." Was all she said, allowing him to leave for water.
Cade walked up to the table and popped open the box, pulling out a few bandage wraps then checking to see what else was inside. Oh yes! Shots to reverse the effect of silver! That's what she delivers. That finally snapped in her head and she snapped her fingers when she remembered it. She turned her head to look at her arm, noticing the entire sleeve was soaked in blood. "No wonder I'm feeling a bit light headed." Shaking her head, she grabbed hold of the sheer covering that made the sleeve and finished ripping it off. "There goes a perfectly good dress and all of my clothes are still at the tavern."

Karl came back a few minutes later with a bucket of water to see Cade still cleaning her arm. "So here's the water." He said, placing the bucket on the table next to the first aid kit. He then reahced into another cupboard and pulled out a few ragged pieces of fabric. Tossing them into the water, Karl walked past Cade and stood next to the window. "Anything else you need?"
