A Break From Work (Closed)

[Ke'ntear]

Kent led Alessandra through the streets till they came to the Dancing Boot Tavern. Kent led her into the tavern and pulled a chair out for her at the table.
"It's time you had a break, Guildmaster."

[ales]

Alessandra shook her head, and pushed the chair out, "I'm not much of a drinker." She said, she remembered what happened last time she drunk to much. "Thank you for offering though." Alessandra slightly smiled.

[Ke'ntear]

Kent grinned. "You don't have to drink if you don't want to." He got out a deck of cards. "Want to play?" Kent was ready to wager a good portion on the game if it would help get Ales' mind off of the loads of work she had to do.

[ales]

Alessandra smiled and shook her head, "thank you for your offer, but..." Ales paused and stumbled over her words, "I...I do..don't gamble." Alessandra smiled, she wasn't much of a Tavern girl. She stayed out of them since her last accident. She smiled at Kent.

[Ke'ntear]

Kent shrugged and put the cards away. "That's fine." He rested his chin on the tops of his hands, putting his elbows on the table. "How long have you been a Warrior?" He asked.

[ales]

Alessandra pulled her chair back out and sat down, she would talk in the Tavern, it was good to moderate for fights every once in a while. Alessandra lightly set her hands on her knee, and leaned over the table so she wouldn't have to yell. "Well, know let me think," Ales paused as she started to count how many years she'd been a warrior, "well I've been loyal to the guild about 10 years, and been in the guild about," Ales thought a little more then replied, "maybe 4 and a half years or so, that is, when I became an apprentice. Till then I would just run errans for the warriors." Ales smiled and looked at Kent, "yourself?"

[Ke'ntear]

"Almost five years," Kent said without hesitation. Suddenly he saw that this conversation might free him from the rest of his 10 years of service. Of course he would still serve; he didn't know how to do anything else, really.

[ales]

Alessandra nodded her head, "wow, well that's good." She looked at Kent, "why did you choose to serve the King. A lot of people think of him as a no-good lazy ruler that is power hungry. You must not think that if you've been loyal for that long." Ales paused then looked at the bar,"excuse me." Ales smiled and took a deep breathe. She walked up to the bar real quick and got a glass of water. She walked back and smiled.

[Ke'ntear]

Kent got up and followed her. "Ale," he said. He got a mug then returned. "I didn't. I was arrested and chose to spend 15 years fightings fighting for the king, rather then spend the rest of my life in prison."

[ales]

Alessandra looked at Kent and raised an eye-brow, "so is that why you do everything I say?" Ales asked. She smiled and then looked at him, waiting for a reply. "I have to say you're one of the most loyal." Alessandra looked at him and sighed, she was beginning to relax, but her stress was still getting the best of her. She dropped her head, letting it hang inbetween her arms joined together hold her glass of water in front of her.

[Ke'ntear]

Kent looked down at his mug of beer. "That was part of the agreement. 'Obey the commands of your superiors'," Kent quoted. Which basically means everyone. He looked up when she said he was the most loyal. He didn't know what to say to that so he just looked down at his mug. He was tempted to smile, but he didn't. I'm the most loyal, eh?

[ales]

Alessandra nodded her head, "well you're an orderly right?? I did your paperwork yesterday, some stuff about.. well what was it about... oh ya. To sign your request of promotion." Ales smiled looking up at Kent. She smiled then dropped her head again. In an attempt to get the kink out of the back. She looked back at Kent and smiled softly.

[Ke'ntear]

Kent looked back up at her with a twinkle in his eye. He had been promoted to Guildsman! "I... uh..." he couldn't think of anything to say. "Thank you. Thank you very much." He looked down and grinned. Guildsman.

[ales]

Alessandra shook her head slightly, "guildsman." She said blankly. She looked at him and smiled. She slightly grinned, she though he'd known. He was promoted to orderly already.

[Ke'ntear]

Kent smiled again. "Thank you," he said straightly. Kent was happier now than he had been for a long time. Kent decided he liked Alessandra better than any other Guild Master he had known or heard of.
