"What brings you all the way here, lil' lady?" he asked with a genuine smile.
Aetrius grinned and chuckled as she took a sip of her drink and relaxed a little in her seat, "What? You mean someone like me doesn't just come here for a good ol' time and relax?"
He gave her a deadpan look, then they both chuckled and shook their heads. "Yes, because everyone wants to come to a shit filled city like Valoc. But really, why are you here?"
Aetrius eyed him oddly, "What do you mean by that? I'm just an every day person, just passing through."
"Uh huh, and I'm the pope. Alright, what do you wanna know? It's not every day that someone looking like you comes here." he said as he finished cleaning the tankard and picked up another one.
"Not here for trouble, just some information. Looking for someone.."
"Oh? Well good, trouble isn't welcomed here. I'm sure you can hold your own, but just for my piece of mind, stay out of trouble, alright? Anyway, what kind of person? Ex lover? Scorned by an ex boyfriend, maybe? Or even a girlfriend?" he chuckled at the last part.
"Heh, men aren't exactly my forte'. But I am looking for someone...She looks like me but a bit older, longer red hair, green eyes, the kind of body almost any man or woman would want. Seen anyone like that around here?" she said as she downed her drink.
The barkeep chuckled at her admission to not liking men, romantically at least, and thought as he gave Kieran's description and stroked his well kept beard. He mused for a moment and then smiled, "Ah yes, her. Before you even said anything I thought you looked a bit like her, just not as...how can I say this, feminine? But yeah, I've seen 'er. Kieran, she's a fine young woman. She used to always sit here, right in the same seat you're in, and would always talk to me. She'd talk about someone coming to look for her one day, Korriban I think? Blah blah blah. Anyway, I saw her about...two weeks ago? She's always come for dinner, and a drink and then leave."
Aetrius' eyes opened wide as he told her that he indeed had seen Kieran, but only two weeks ago. Dammit, she was so close yet again, she sighed and looked up at him, "Anything else you could tell me? Was she with anyone?"
The barkeep nodded and sighed, "Yeah, actually. A gentleman would always walk in with her, but would always sit near the entrance and wait for her to be done then leave with her when she was done. Maybe her pimp or something, I don't know. Any specific reason you're looking for her?"
"I'm looking for her....Cuz she's my sister." she stood up, threw a coin on the table and left, "Thanks for the information, it's been all too helpful. If I find out someone knows I asked, I will come back here and deal with you....personally. Don't make me waste my time with you, okay?" she sighed, put her hood up and left the tavern. When she exited, she sighed, and with some helpful information she went on to look for the others, wherever they may have been.
