Daydre looked up as the doors to the tavern opened, three figures entering and talking quite loudly. As they got closer to the bar, Daydre noticed how only two of the figures seemed to be talking to each other, and only one of them was the source of the noise.

He smiled pleasantly at them as the louder one dropped two large, golden coins on the wooden surface, to which his pleasant grin turned to one of shock. Usually his patrons paid in silver and bronze. Only nobles ever paid in gold.

"What will it be, my lords?"

The loud one who had placed the coins on the bar looked at him strangely. While it was true these three were far from dressed like nobles, just where could they have gotten such money?

"Strongest whatever you've got for me and Jax here. Cruz doesn't drink."

The loud man gestured up at the tallest of the three, who nodded, as if Daydre needed extra affirmation that he indeed, did not drink.

But his pleasant smile returned, and he set about making their drinks, chattering amicably with Jax and the loud man, who introduced himself as Nuit. Cruz seemed content to sit between the other two men and stay quiet.

Though he was positively dying to, Daydre refused to ask them their status, only complying when Nuit asked him not to call them by any such title.

"And where did you travel here from?" Daydre asked, carefully sliding the drinks over the bar to the two men who bought them. Jax very carefully took a sip, but Nuit quaffed nearly every drop in such an extremely enthusiastic manner that had Daydre worried if he'd be able to stand in a few minutes.

"Traveled from nowhere. Don't got a place to go back to," Nuit answered, wiping rather unceremoniously at his mouth.

Jax cut in at this, his words soft spoken yet definitive.

"What Nuit means is, we prefer to travel around."

Daydre nodded, glancing back at Nuit, who had put his head down on the bar.

"Stonewater is a pretty busy little town, I must tell you. I've never seen you three around before. We get merchants traveling through near every day, and sometimes even the nobles pass through."

Cruz moved the slightest bit at this, and Daydre looked over at him.

"They're usually friendly, don't you guys worry. Just don't anger them. We're pretty good about remembering manners here."

Nuit lifted his head.

"Sounds fun. Thanks for the tip, uh-?" He grasped for a name, and Daydre realized, with an air of embarrassment, that he hadn't even introduced himself.

"My name is Daydre. It's very nice to meet you all."

Nuit smiled at him.
