Kyle was a little anxious about going to the tavern himself, but he didn't think he was the only one. Because Haru was going there for food, he hoped it was more like an old world pub than a bar, but what did Kyle know about old world pubs anyway? All he heard were stories.

The short blond had to take a step back at the entrance to the tavern and rubbed his head. All this noise reminded him of the shouting and arguing in that core place. He groaned at the memory, but eventually found his way to everyone else. There wasn't anywhere else for him to go except back to the inn, which would probably be too quiet and even lonely. He didn't really know any of these people, but he was more comfortable in a group than on his own in a strange place. Besides, he needed to get to know them -though he would be happier without Harper along- to do this save the world stuff and Haru did warn them they wouldn't have a lot of time. So he had to make the best of the time they would have.

When the redhead pulled out the map and started telling them about the area, Kyle leaned in to get a better look. It didn't do much good though, since it was upside down to him, so he just sat back again. He started at the threat though. The blond boy's seventeenth birthday was still months away, but Haru already ordered the drink. What could he do about it? He could probably order water later. Yes, that's what he would do.

While waiting for the drinks, several people started introducing themselves. The first one, a brown-haired girl called Skylar, caught his attention. She was studying in college and he was impressed. He didn't even know she was old enough to go to college. As for him, he didn't expect to get into college at all because his grades were bad and he had other issues. The idiot, Harper, of course had to belittle her about her major and Kyle wanted to punch him. He hated that jerk. Another guy, Jason, from Tennessee said something to Harper in a much nicer way then Kyle would have, and the shorter blond chuckled at that.

The amusement was short-lived when the same idiot went on to insult Jason too. Darn! He didn't need any alcohol in him to start a fight, but Kyle was trying to avoid it with Haru there. He still balled his hands in fists though. "Do you have a degree in being an asshole or do you just not know your ass from your mouth? Cuz all that comes out of it is crap."
