"Yes, this is the last place I remember."

"Then we'll go with you to check things out. It's possible that whatever happened to cause you to lose these last few years, happened the last time you were here. We wouldn't want that to happen again."

Tikkle whirls around to look Chris in the eye. "Three years... that's what you said. Three years ago in Polaris. I have a feeling that I'm missing something in my gut. The last three years in Polaris... eh, probably just a little landsick, it'll pass." he shrugs and turns back on the path to walk with the others.

She looks at Tikkle, "It's the last place he remembers being before we found him on the road."

She smiles, "We've got time to figure all of that out though. Right now we can all go and eat, then we'll deal with everything else."

"Sounds good to me. I'm starving." Flynt smiles at Terra making friends with Renard. Whatever made her happy was good with him.
"Right then! To the Silver Kraken!"
-Posted with Wayfinder
Christophe follows behind the rest of the group, his mind on something else besides seafood.
Terra picks up Renard (if he allows it) to carry him, Come on Renard, this is a big city, you don't want to get stepped on..
Renard nuzzles against Terra as he's picked up. "Err-rah"
Christophe shakes his head. "Spoiled fox."
"Pretty much."
"As long as Terra's happy.....maybe we should think about getting her a puppy of her own someday. I never realized she liked animals so much. I'm surprised she doesn't get a pouch to carry it around in." She chuckles a bit and smiles as she sees the look of happiness on Terra's face as she snuggles the fox and pets it.

"Don't encourage him," Chris says with a slight grimace.
"Yea, I didn't either. Like one of those backpack things that babies get carried in?"
She regards Chris for a moment. As the reach the Silver Kraken she asks, "What do you mean? It's not like he can understand me.....right?"
-Posted with Wayfinder
She laughs as she looks at Flynt, "Yeah....it's supposed to help keep them calm and supposedly comforting. I can't imagine it would be much different to carry a fox or other small dog that way. I don't know.....was just jokin....mostly."

"Yes, he can understand you," Chris tells Gashka. "He also has the luxury of you not understanding him."
"Not the worst idea I've heard."
Looking at Chris she replies, "Then.....does that mean that you can understand him?"

Christophe nods. "Yes, I can."
She nods and clucks her tongue as if thinking about something, "I see...."

She gets quiet then and seems to be thinking about something.

The group makes their way to the Silver Kraken. Entering the restaurant, they can see why Tikkle had recommended it. The place was absolutely spotless and the food was prepared at each table by very skilled chef's with knives and cleavers. Led to a table, a rather lean man asked, "Welcome to the Silver Kraken, how may I serve you?"
Looking at Tikkle she leans over to whisper, "I have no idea what to ask for....so I'm just gonna trust your judgement on this one." She gives him a kiss on the cheek and pats his hand as she sits back up.
"We'll take the house, mate. Your freshest catches, chef's specialties, lobster all around, and those delicious little rolls that everyone loves so, savvy? Ooh and a nice bottle of white wine to compliment the fish." He holds Gashka's chair out for her and then seats himself.

Sitting next to Tikkle she says, "That sounds like a lot of food....are you sure that's not going to be too much?"
Christophe seats himself, a bit shocked by Tikkle's order. "Is this another celebration of yours, Tikkle?"
Flynt pulls a chair out for the occupied Terra before seating himself. "Too much? It might be bordering on not enough."
Gashka chuckles as she looks around at all of them there together, "Eh...you might be right. You boys always did eat quite a bit as I recall. We can pack it away well enough ourselves, well....we'll just have to see."
"The works, got it." The chef said as he flashily spun the knives in his hands and began slicing expertly into the fish and cooking it right in front of them.
Gashka sits mesmerized by the chefs skill.

Chris is equally impressed by the chef's skills. Though he had practiced a fair bit of cooking himself, he was nowhere near this man's skill.
Ash murmurs thanks to Tikkle and after divesting himself of his larger weapons takes a seat. With much creaking, and clacking.
Terra carries Renard only as long as he feels comfortable, If he tries to get loose, Terra lets him go.
At the Restaurant, Terra takes the seat Flynt Offers, giving him a smile of Thanks.
Terra does not seem overly impressed with the chef's skills, at least not right now.
Can I just have water please? Terra asks, instead of the wine I mean.
Terra sits very proper, and it is evident she is of noble upbringing, despite her not so noble attire.
Renard hops out of Terra's arm and curls around her chair.
"Nah, they'll keep it coming as long as we keep asking, but they're reasonable about portioning. Rumor has it that bloke, the Carver, worked here, and might still... only people in town with that much skill."
Tikkle really hasn't heard a rumor, but he wanted to spark that conversation as much to gauge his friends' reactions as to see how the locals would react.

"We did see his handiwork the other night," Christophe says, his face becoming somber at the thought of the poor tiefling girl.
Coming out of her daze she shakes her head, "What...did you say? What do you mean you've seen his handywork?"

Chris waves his hand dismissively. "We can talk about it later. Dinner isn't the right time to talk about such things."
She nods, "Yes of course....." She goes back to watching the chef, but can't stop thinking about what Chris said.

Ash' eyebrows raise at the mention of the Carver. Ever keen for intelligence that might lead to remuneration, Ash ignore's Chris comment about appropriate degustation conversation topics.
"I saw a bounty for the Carver. What do you guys know about him?"
She looks up, "Not much....."
-Posted with Wayfinder
"Seriously it can wait. If the bastard works here striking up a conversation about bounties would be pretty stupid. He would be inclined to lay low...or worse. Do you have any idea how many flavorless poisons can be slipped into your food?" Anyka says quietly but with an admonishing tone.
Her attention being brought back by her sister's tone she looks up at her, then at Ash. With a sigh she says, "She's right.....besides we only just got off the boat and if I want what I eat to have a chance to stay in my belly.....then, we can wait to discuss it later......in a more private setting." She looks over at her sister, "Sorry Anyka" She then looks down and plays with the silverware at her place setting.

Chris nods sagely, sipping a little wine.
"Yea, let's focus on the important things. Like where the food is, because I'm hungry."
Ash doesn't betray a hint of annoyance at Anyka's tone.
If he works here, then he'd already know there's a bounty on his head. It's public knowledge. Besides, with a name like Carver, I doubt poisoning is his style. Relax Ash. These folk have stayed alive by being circumspect. As you have. Just let them do things their way.
As if on queue, the chef at your table slides bowls of rice topped with grilled fish to each of you. "How many lobster?" He asked as fairly large tank of water got wheeled over to there table. Through the glass, you could see several creatures, with some sort of banding around their claws to prevent them hurting whom ever put there hand in inside.
"Why the hell not? I'l try once." Anyka says, sure to catch Jin's eye and wink mischievously.
