"Whatever," Elowan murmered, turning back to her own drink. How rude.

(Oh, okay)

Elowan kept sipping her drink, looking at the stranger. Eventually her curiosity got the best of her and she tapped him on the shoulder.

Okubo turned to the person who had tapped his shoulder, "Can I help you?" he signed as he tilted his head.

Oh! He was deaf. Elowan blushed a bit, embarrased at her anger earlier "I was just wondering why you were here. I'm trying to round up everyone working on the same job I am so we can get going."

Okubo shrugged, "I come here just to hang out," he signed and his ear twitched a little, "Why? What's the job?"

"We're going dragon hunting!" Her face lit up. "We'll be trekking through the desert fighting off raiders and bandits and monsters until we get to the dragon dens, and then we'll get to kill the dragons too!"

"Got nothing better to do," Okubo yawned and scratched behind an ear, "When are we going to get going?" he asked then took another sip of his milk.

"Oh you're coming with? Great!" Elowan smiled widley. They were making a nice little party here. "I don't actually know when we're leaving, but it'll probably be tonight, maybe a little later. Everyone's been kinda seperate, one of us is drunk off his ass, and I'm not entirley sure evryone is here yet."

"By the way," She added quickly, 'What's your name? I'm Elowan!"

"Can you repeat that last part a little slower?" Okubo asked, "It's hard to read your lips when you talk that fast."

"Oh sorry. Um… We'll probably leave late today or early tomorrow," She said, gesturing a little along with her words "I'm waiting for my, uh… friend Xavier to sober up before I leave. Also: My name's Elowan, what's yours?" She watched expectantly when she finished.

"Thanks, and my name is Okubo, nice to meet you," Okubo smiled.

"Nice to meet you too," She echoed. She felt akward as the conversation wound down. If there was one thing she hated, it was an awkward silence. "So… How do you like the town?"

Okubo shrugged, "I don't know, it's a change from my village, but I don't know if it's a good or a bad change."

Elowan nodded. "I feel ya. I'm only here for excitement. It's hard to get a good adrenaline rush these days."

Okubo nodded, "What do you usually do for excitement?" he asked.

"Kill things." She laughed, a bit hysterically. "Sometimes I jump of mountains. Once I -oh god I was dumb- I dueled my way into leading a village."

"Oh, really?" Okubo asked, "Sounds nice," he stretched and yawned.

"Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's teriffying. Though," She reflected, "So is most of life. I'd rather live on the edge then be bored to tears by my own life."

Okubo nodded, "True," he sipped on his milk.

Elowan laughed. "You remind me of one of my old friends."

"I don't know if that's a good or bad thing," Okubo finished his second glass and stretched.

She laughed again. "Probably bad considering he got himself killed." Even though her tone was casual, her eyes were filled with pain. "But other than that he was a good man. Brave."

"I'm really sorry for your loss," Okubo empathized, "He sounds kinda like my sister, but she's still alive," he signed.

"Oh, Don't apologize. I really ougt to be over it by now, it happened a hundered years ago at least." Elowan swatted around her head, as if to clear away the painful memory. She changed the subject. "So, is your sister around here too?"

(I'll probably RP with her whenever anyone talks with her if that's ok)
"Yeah, she came with me, she's over there," Okubo pointed at another Neko who looked somewhat like him, "She'll probably come along with us, she's really protective," he said.

(Okay, that sounds good)

"I'll go talk to her and get out of your hair than. I can't wait to travel with you." She stood and walked towards the neko girl. She tapped her on the shoulder and introduced herself. "Hey! I'm Elowan"
