*Suddenly, a tavern door is kicked open forcefully*

[Remmi]

Through the door, a man in full black walks with his head lowered and a deep hood cloaking his face as he enters. Taking a couple steps in, he raises his hood to reveal a large white bandage wrapping his forehead with quite a bit of blood that has soaked it. The bandage has obviously not been changed or tended to in several weeks. He smells of earth, damp moldy cloth, and more alcohol than any one human should ever consume. As he walks through the tavern, Remmi just stares at his feet as they move slowly in a slightly skewed path toward the kitchen. Upon exiting the kitchen, he just sits at the closest table he can find as he stares at his place that holds a single piece of bread next to a small cup of water he sat next to it. A look of anger is fixed on his face as he picks at the bread, tossing glares around the room at anyone that happens to make eye contact.

[Yeshua]

Moving from his table, the hooded man approaches Remmi's table. He gazes at Remmi for a second before speaking.

"May I sit?"

[Andrew L.]

From across the tavern Onyx says " Hey Remmi"

[Cassandra_Castagna]

Cassette looks up from the table, her entire body jumping at the kick at the door, her blood running cold. She turns her entire body to look at the figure and is out of her seat in two heartbeats, weapons in hand. She pauses though, and her weapons drop to the ground with an audible clatter as his hood is raised, and she takes him in. She watches him walk, and numbly picks up her weapons, her eyes scared, confused, and yet looking relieved at once-she slides the swords into her belt, nearly dropping them again before walking almost in a trance to his table.
She doesn't really notice the noises around her, barely acknowledges the figure asking to sit, and stands beside him, looking down at Remmi with disbelief, hands clasped together so they would not show in their obvious shaking, as her heart bashes against her ribcage. She feels her throat tighten before she speaks, barely above a whisper. "Remmi?"

[NovariusDarkshade]

Seeing remmi enter the tavern his heart sinks. He knows that he has been angry with this man and now feels like a complete idiot for losing his self control. He stand, collects his belongings and walks over to the table where the injured remmi sits. He speaks saying " Remmi we thought you captured or worse. It saddens me to see that it appears to be worse." " is there anything I can do for you my friend?Who did this to you and where can I find them?"" I have a million questions that can wait for a later time; but I do need to know WHO DID THIS TO YOU!"
Looking at those standing near Remmi " I will go get this man a healer! Cassette you please stay with him until I return!" Gently grabbing Cassete by the shoulders and looking deep into her eyes " He is going to be fine m'lady. that you have my promise on!"" On my love of you as friend I promise to do whatever I can to fix this!"
With that Novarius heads out the tavern doors in the direction of the healers guild.

[Remmi]

As the people around him start bustling around, he stops picking at his bread. While still gazing into the lump of wheat, he slowly rises to his feet. The look of anger intensifies on his face, almost as if someone had poured fuel on flames. He raises his gaze to those in the immediate area and begins to speak to them in a calm voice.

"I don't need a healer. I don't need you swarming around me like a bunch of bugs around a candle. What I need is for you to back away from me before I begin killing you off one by one in ways that would turn the most twisted sorcerer's stomach turn. I am in no mood to entertain a bunch of... children... nor am I in any condition to listen to any of you babble at me because I look as if I need assistance. I just want to eat my meal in peace. You can either give me my peace, or I can eat among a pile of corpses, your choice."

Remmi slowly sits back down, holding his forehead. He is obviously in pain, but he just starts picking at his bread again.

"The only people I need to speak with are Meemar, Sir Ryan, or Kalei... Especially Kalei..."

As the last syllable of her name passes his lips, a single tear squeezes out. It trickles slowly down his face and drops into the cup of water he had been nursing before. Watching his own reflection ripple in the water, a look of disappointment and shame washes over him. A second drop rolls down his face, but when it hits the water, Remmi realizes its not a tear. The small crimson drop disperses into the water instantly. Remmi had rubbed his head wound hard enough to make it bleed again. The familiar sting makes him jump slightly as he reaches up to put pressure on the red, bloodstained circle on the bandage.

[Remmi]

Suddenly, Remmi can be seen quietly mumbling to himself. His whispers are too low for anyone else to hear. He smacks himself in the head lightly and continues to mutter inaudible things. in a few places, it looks and sounds if Remmi giggles a bit. Just as suddenly as he began mumbling, Remmi springs to his feet with a happy look on his face, still bleeding all over the place from his head wound. He strides out of the tavern with purpose and starts heading to the bar. If watched, he disappears into the bar building for a bit, emerging with a bag and his small cart, then heads out of town.

[Cassandra_Castagna]

With his words and his anger still hanging in the air... her eyes land on the wall beyond him, beyond the table; her stare empty, cold, and frail. Her lips still slightly parted from uttering his name, she exhales a shaky breath. She doesn't move an inch, with the exception of Novarius shaking her so violently, her eyes look up for a moment to connect with his. They barely blink at his yelling and exclaiming, and she watches him run off.
Her mouth slowly shuts, and she swallows painfully, trying to muster up some sort of sentence, some word, some... response and nothing came. She merely stood there dumbly, watching Remmi walk into the bar, and leave town nearly as quickly as he had entered.
She barely had time to react to him coming back, before he was gone again.

So many things I had to tell him... and he left?

She didn't look up, but spoke loud enough for Felix, or anyone else to hear her-her voice was soft, and broken. If one were to look, they would see tears drip to the floor.

"I'm sorry.. I-.. I have to go."

She headed out of the tavern, at a run, unless stopped, in the direction of Lowtown.

[Yeshua]

Shadow watched with quiet emotion, then lets out a sigh. As soon as Remmi had spoken to back off, he had already turned and began to drift to another table. Then pausing, he finally removed his hood, the face of Vincent being revealed, as the unknown man finally revealed his true appearance. He moved back to the table he was at, resting his back against the wall, gazing at people over his mask.

[NovariusDarkshade]

novarius stops just as he leaves the tavern and turns to eye Remmi curiously. he though this man a friend to many in shadowmoor; but now he threatens lives as if it were his usual way. a look of worry creeps over novarius face and he very quietly sits back down and begins to mind his own business once again.

However, at the bang of the door, Felix looks up, swinging his legs over the bench to make ready to spring away, hands on the swords at his belt... And as the battered man walks into the Tavern, Felix just shakes his head, letting out a sigh of relief, and returns to his drink.

Cassette's reaction, however, prompts a raised eyebrow from the young man, and he watches the interactions with curiosity... And a flash of irritated impatience at Novarius' barely-intelligible ranting. When Remmi goes to leave, Felix settles back down with his mug, a question hanging on his lips, but Cassette flees before he can ask.

With a roll of his eyes, the young man tosses back the rest of his drink, quickly accounts for his personal effects, and follows the girl out.
