Nathan let out a short laugh as he pulled down the hood of his cloak, his long black hair tumbling down his back "Apologies my friend. I could not resist the temptation."

Nathan looked round, he wasn't familiar with Rorys companions "Aren't you going to introduce me, Rory?" he said flashing a warm smile at them, and bowing his head to them politely.

----------------------

Anaya looked on as the two men talked. She sensed within the man Rory called Nathan a real deep sense of honour. He smiled and bowed his head to them, Anaya returned the gesture.

Annalett, who had been in the stable for awhile, finally came back in and had a seat at the table. She eyed the stranger then ordered another plate of mashed potatoes, seeing her first one had dissapeared when she was pulled out of the room...

Susie walked over to Lanie and listened to their conversation wondering who this new-comer was

Will nodded to Nathan "Will Levian.." Then he looked up to Rory and said with a slight smile "Eventhough it wasn't my village, I knew it very well.. You were in service of the King?" he said with curiosity "Strange I didn't meet you before.."

Lanie saw Annalett go iver by a table with no one sitting at it. she called over to her and motioned for her to come and sitt with the rest of them. she smiled.

Rory nodded, " i was just an apprentice at the palace but i did do odd jobs for the king sometimes. Like i would condition and even sometimes race his horses. That's where mine came from. i managed to save her from the stables before they over took the whole palace." his voice grew fond when he mentioned the horse.

Nathan bowed his head again and smiled broadly, "Any friend of Rory's is a friend of mine." he looked around at the group, his eyes straying briefly at the woman called Anaya. Something was different about her, she had a quiet presence but he sensed an ancient strength within her. The corners iof his mouth were trying to curl into another smile, "Would anyone care for a drink" he paused and caught his breath "On me of course"

Annalett finished her mashed potatoes and sat back.

"I'll always take a free drink." Gavin smiled. "Glad to meet you." he said to Nathan.

"i'll take a drink",Susie said smiling at Nathan wondering if he even noticed her.

Nathan tipped his head towards Annalette "I'm Nathan Dayspring, it's a pleasure to make your aquaintance, all of you" he smiled.
A few of the group took him up on his offer of a drink "Ales all round, I shan't be long" he said and walked over towards the bar and placed his order "Have it sent over to that table" he said pointing towards Rory's group "On my tab" he winked at the barmaid and made his way back over to the table.

He pulled up a seat at the table, sitting directly across from Anaya. He felt inexplicably drawn to this mysterious woman. He observed her without trying to gaze at her in awe. Now he was close enough he could see that she was quite beautiful. He noticed she was now looking right back at him, her eyes looking directly into his. It was as if the whole tavern became black and she was the only other person there with him. Nathan felt a strange energy between them. 'Just who is this woman?' he thought to himself.

Annalett wached Nathan and when he sat back down, she noticed his intrest in Anya, and smiled. She resisted the urge to luaph. For some reason love-struck men seemed funny to her. When the drinks came, Annalett used her cup to hide her amusement...

Susie also chuckled at this. she noticed the two staring at each other and then she saw Annalett laughing also
