Jaeger walked into the dining room and his dark eyes lit up.
"Fuck me." He commented at the food all laid out before him. There was no one in the room but a beautiful elaborate feast better than anything in Tear had ever prepared. Though to be fair Ailynne was rather stingy on such things.
He immediately sat down and encouraged Horus, "Come on, let's eat!" He cackled with delight and began shovelling food into his mouth with hasty inelegance.
"My Gods this is good. So Horus, tell me, where did you get that gun?" He asked conversationally about a mouthful of mashed potato.

Seeing the amount of food on the table made horus' mouth water, he swiftly tore a chunk off the nearest turkey-looking meat pile and started devouring it.
"Fuck me" he heard Jae exclaim
"God damn, thats alot of food. wheres the ale?" Horus replied grinning as he saw a collection of large metal Tankards.
"My gods, this is good, So horus, tell me, where did you get that gun?" Jae sparked up a conversation.
"My father" horus replied, pausing to swallow some of the chewed meat "its a bolter, it fires explosive penitrator rounds. They go in through most armour, get inside the target then explode, making a mess out of most things, i hit someone in the head with it once." He said grinning "when the gore settled their wasnt much left of his head, just a neck" he nodded, pausing again to stick some more meat in his mouth, before adding "what about your swords? and who is this Airlynne you mentioned when i offered you a fag?"

Jae nodded, approving of such a weapon. They both seemed to be some kind of military men. Except, Jaeger did not count himself as such. Just a neck eh? That might be interesting.
He smiled at mention of his swords. "Oh, Sinister and Dexterous here were a gift from Ailynne. She is my Sorceress, I am sworn to protect her. Yes I know what you are thinking, but I'm not slacking off, she's sleeping."
He ate some more. "She doesn't go in for self destruction much, body is a temple and all that.... Your father an engineer then?" It was the only explaination for the gun in Jae's opinion.

Sorceress? ooh females horus thought smiling, thinking of airlia's eyes again. "My father was not an engineer, no, he bought this to protect us from the riots and looters. New moscow, like most other major cities has become near lawless scince the nuclear war. lot of people died. Only the ruins left. survivors fighting over food, weapons, land"
"i remember the attack" he continued but faded off with a far away look in his eyes, remembering the sirens. The people screaming, panicking, running for whatever cover they could find

Luna had sulked her way down from the library having been excused upon the arrival of the underworld beast, Khellesi... She snarls to herself simply thinking of the name, and her Lord alone with that maniac! With great effort Luna throws open the doors to the dining hall, needing something to lash out at. She is, however, immediately shocked by the vision of the two men from earlier, gorging on a feast blatantly too large for just them. Luna blushes somewhat before finding the adolescent fury that almost always accompanies her and striding with confidence to her Masters chair. She says nothing to the guests until slumped moodily into her seat... "Do either of you require a room?"

still thinking of the horrific attack that destroyed his home city and his life, Horus watched as the being that had dissapeared with Lord Draxus wonders in.
"Do any of you require a room?" She asked as she slumped into a nearby seat
"Yes, if its ok with the land lord that is," Horus replied, "but there is time for that later, Come join us, eat, there is food, good food and lots of it" he said, mouth full, eating as if he hadnt in months, which truth be told he hadnt. Just the occasional rat.

Jaeger smirked at the woman - Luna was it? Who entered looking like she had just had her arse pinched. Bloody women.
He continues eating with focused diligence, already having put away a sizable amount which was at odds with his lean and wiry appearance. Jae in truth ate like a horse and could never get enough, though he never seemed to put on weight.
He gulped down a cup of wine with gusto, gesturing it in a toast to Lunavyre.
"No Lady, I usually find a bed somehow." He replied with a wicked smile and a rougish wink, conveying exactly how and why Jae never had trouble finding a place to - eventually - sleep.

Horus supressed a smirk at the way jae greeted the being, "and if you continue to drink like that my good comrade, the bed youl find will probably be the floor you pass out on" he said laughing and downing a tankard of ale before craming his mouth with more meat.
He grabbed a plate, chose a few of the nicest looking things and handed it to the woman sitting, looking rather annoyed in the chair. "my names horus" he said smiling.

Luna frowns at the one known as Jaeger, a pout soon to accompany this expression. This man was bold indeed, but it didn't bother her much, these two men were amusing in a way and their presence relaxed her stubborn fury. The bulkier one was offering her food and introducing himself as Horus. Luna obliges, taking a slice of meat with a vague sort of smile, Luna didn't really do smiling...
"Suit yourself" She shrugs in response to Jaeger's words, picking at the white flesh she had on her plate... "Horus, that's a good name. Will you be needing a room?" Her eyes shift to Jaeger, watching him, half expecting him to making faces if she didn't keep a keen eye on him...

Horus nodded a reply to the woman, who was now angrilly pouting at jae. "yes, i guess i will as i dont see any way home and my leg is begining to hurt again" he said suddenly noticing the pain.
he shifted his gaze to jae, who was calmly and smugly craming his pie-hole with food. And once again Horus questioned his sanity...

Jae intensified his smile, giving her a little wave with his free hand as Lunavyre maintained her gaze on him. Damn she was rather pretty for a crazy jumped up princess.
"You know, you two should take a picture, it might last longer." He advised to the both of them.
"Your leg not so hot eh Horus? Bloody shame that..." He trailed off, drinking more wine, his dark gaze keep shifting to Luna.

Luna can feel her brow furrowing further at the actions of Jaeger, where did he get off on being so self-confident here in Midian of all places?? Horus had it right, play it safe. She musters more of a smile for him, trying to melt the lingering bitterness from earlier. "I'll prepare you a room. But don't be wondering about the palace!" She adds this whilst wagging a fork at Horus but lowers it upon noticing this was a little rude since a slice of meat still clung to the prongs...
"I'm Luna by the way, if haven't mentioned already. I sort of run this place and Lord Draxus owns it" She flashes Jae a sideways glance, attempting to deter a repeat of earlier...

Horus nods in thanks to Luna, such a nice name he thought smiling before another wave of pain rushed through his leg. Grimacing, yet repressing the urge to yell out he sat down
"bloody shame?" he said cheerfully in jaes direction "y'think?, giant gawd damn wolf attacked me." he said, his voice echoing the discomfort he was in.

Jae answered with his usual saradonic tones, "I don't think he's going to be walking about the Palace with a fucken crippled leg, is he now? You got brains in that pretty head Princess?" He shook his own head at Luna and continued to eat.
Horus seemed alright, but he went all obedient at swish of the skirts of a woman. Then again, the man wanted to stay in the palace, best play your cards right on it.
"So how did a wolf attack you? You stealin' it's babies or something?"

Luna turns her gaze to Jaeger with a quick, sharp movement, the purple in her eyes flaring somewhat. "I do believe I was not informed of this man's wounded leg!" She snaps back at him with venomous words, unable to hold back the snarl... God, this man was annoying... It takes all her strength to drag her angry eyes away from him...
"A wolf? You should check you're not infected. Werewolves are rampant in this City" Luna suggests, assuming Horus's attack was in Midian...
