[DL-T] A stranger in town.

"Rob Hines Jr." <rook@iquest.net>
He held the door open, about to step in, but pasuing to stomp the
mud from his boots before stepping over the threshhold of the inn and
letting the door close behind. He pulls the hood back and pats himself
befor finding a table and sitting.
"Ale...And a steak and vegetables..." he smiled quietly, watching
the waitress walk away appreciatively.
Running his fingers through his hair he takes in the decor. Nice.
He offers the waitress a smile as she returned with his ale,
dropping a coin down the neck of her bodice. She giggles a little, and he
meets her gaze with his pale blue grey eyes.
"Thanks. I hope that'll do, all I've got is this coin from
a couple hundred leagues off... but it's silver."
He sips his ale as the girl fishes the coin out and studies it a
moment before disappearing into the back.
'A very nice place.' he thinks, 'Good enough for a stopover...For
a while anyway...'
He pushes his ale aside and tugs a pouch from his belt, dumping
the contents out before him. Several pretty stones, a few coins, a couple
twigs, a small carving, and a pile of dirt are soon seperated, and with a
sigh he returns the stones, and carving to the pouch. He sweeps away the
dust and counts his remaining money, a dismal pittance. He tucks the coins
back into the pouch and puts his pouch away, taking another sip of his
ale. Unclasps the heavy, worn cloak, he sets it next to him, and drapes it
over the light pack. Shifting, he straightens the worn sheath of his
sword, and peers into the bottom of his mug of ale, idly wondering after
his food, and the waitress.

NRPG: Well hell, it's one long meta-pose, I didn't know who to tag, so
whoever's bored, jump right in. Blue Dragon Inn, woohoo :)
