He actually had asked for the cheapest room in the inn, though he had earned some coins earlier, it wasn't enough for a spacious and luxurious room. Not that he cared about the size, for the musician, all he wanted was to stay somewhere close where he can keep an eye towards the interesting group that he met on the plaza earlier.
Still, Margaret had kindly offered him one of the best rooms available and asked him instead of the usual rate, a pay equivalent of a normal room. With a beaming smile, she loudly and graciously gave him the key.
After the normal proceedings for renting a room were done, Clavis, the ever so flamboyant travelling musician just let out a smile before side stepping away from the girl and walking towards the door.
"I'll be having the room for the next two days then, my lady. For now, though I hate to leave your lovely companion, I must go out and find something to drink. I've been parched for quite awhile now and else I want to pass out like a wilting flower in the desert, I should find myself something to quench this thirst." He poetically stated adding quite a number of flowery gestures to stress his words.
He took off his hat and made his usual motions of bowing towards the lady in front of him. Seeing her muted look, he settled into a nod, grinning and went out the door.
He studied the half-empty street for a moment and found himself looking directly towards the inn where the tumbling ladies had disappeared into before. Though he is quite interested with the teal-haired girl and her companion, Clavis had decided to postpone meeting with them until the morrow- where fate would surely have planned for him to see them again.
It is late now and no matter how ephemeral they looked, there is still a touch of unnatural humanity that reminds the violet-haired man that they need enough rest to go on for the next day, unlike him.
Unlike his kind who never needed sleep in order to function properly, they certainly should take a rest.
His kind, in all absoluteness, had been the mostly talked one. They were never commonly seen in the land of Gaea Minor. In fact, of all the magical creatures that exists, theirs can be considered the ones most used for horror stories meant to scare young children to bed and is also undeniably the downplayed types.
Most of the living beings, human or not, didn't dare believe of their existence. It wasn't because they are someone immensely powerful or thoroughly hidden ones. The reason is simple enough, his race was one of those that had been supposedly obliterated hundreds of years ago. Vanishing in the midst of forgotten archive never to be seen again. Not one of his kind should have survived and yet here he was.
He was still living ... 'living' a somewhat adventurous, if not normal, existence in this era.
It had always been to Clavis' enjoyment whenever he meets interesting people. Detached and yet sociable as he is, above all, Clavis greatly look forward to being able to have the chance to uncover a challenge. Such challenges he determines himself. He loved solving puzzles through unearthing different clues and searching solutions for those problems.
The scene in the plaza beforehand had undoubtedly temporarily issued a challenge for the bard.
Repainting the tumbling girl's face in his mind, he was able to recall her expressive yet guarded blue eyes. Her lithe and small body easily tells him of her frail stature. One who is not specifically trained for physical combat but her whole aura emits a different scene. Also recalling her companion, Clavis noted that while taller and looking different enough not to be mistaken as the other girl's sibling, Echo still held the same bearing Knell-li had. She held such a caring and motherly face unlike the smaller girl's aristocratic ones. Her body was also fit, oddly fit enough for battle.
Unable to prevent the blossoming smile off his face, Clavis decided that he'd certainly stick around their group for the moment. There is something in both of the girl's demeanor that entices him and being the curious person that he is, he will do all the initial necessary steps in order to solve this puzzle.
He had been lost in his thoughts for awhile and only when he saw a familiar person going out of the inn was the moment that he had been cut off his musings. Noting the now red-colored tresses, the violet-haired bard sauntered his way towards the girl.
"We met again, mademoiselle!" Since he did not have the chance to place his hat back on his head, he just tucked it in front of his chest and bowed customarily in greeting.
"Where are you going at this time of the night, my lady? 'Is not safe for you to venture out during this time." He cocked his head sideways and waited for her answer. Just like Knell and Echo, completing the trio set of tumbling ladies, Angel had a different type of bearing within her. She obviously wasn't a normal human as what she showed them beforehand. In fact, her skill reminded him of another race's ability. He knew not much about her and was also unusually interested in learning more about her enigmatic personality.
