" A pleasure to meet you all, I am sure Scarlet here has informed you of my name. " Lionel said with a soft grin, Charly soon had returned with the water. Scarlet sighed, " Charly, what took you so long? " Charly replied a simple, " Chatting with the boss. " Before handing her the water. Scarlet nodded in understanding. Lionel noticed the water and turned to his guests, " Do you need anything? We have beverages and food if you are interested. " Scarlet had went over to Lionel and gave him the water, he sighed and drank it, the cold water made his teeth hurt slightly.. he didn't like cold things.

Eva smiled, "Some food and drink would be nice. We have been traveling for the better half of the day." In fact, they had been traveling for several days. Natalie spoke up. "Do you mind telling us more about this city and how it runs? We are new here." While they had been talking Natalie was whitling a piece of wood. It was starting to take the shape of a girl.

Scarlet nodded and went off to the pantry area, Charly had went back into the main part of the bar. Lionel had stayed, and decided to answer the question, " Well, this part of the city is about as normal as any other, the crime rates a bit higher, but it isn't too bad I guess. It is mostly safe at any time, but I have to warm you, some parts are worse then others. The market in the day are lovely, and there are some nice places. "

Natalie nodded. "Thanks for the tip." She held up the figure as she was done whitling it. "How well do you know Scarlet, I'm not quite sure if I got it right."

(Sorry this is short I've gotta go catch a taxi)

" Well, me and Scarlet have known one another a long time.. very long, Around four years now. We met here at this bar, she was looking for a job, and I was the one to... interview her.. Well, she got hired and we have worked with one another ever since. "

( It's fine ^.^ )

Natalie laughed. *Well that answers that question, but I meant how well do you know Scarlet to see if I got this statue of her right.* Eva examined the statue. *You got better at eyes, she seems more playful and alive now.* Nathaniel nodded his agreement and patted Natalie on the back

Lionel felt a little embarrassed but smiled and laughed a little, " Yes, you got the statue right. She can be a little wild at times but she means no harm. She just happens to be the very energetic type. It keeps everything interesting. "

Eva grinned. *Interesting is good. Now I have a question for you. Why do you like to be called Lion.* Natalie places the statue in her pocket. She was used to Eva asking personalish questions out of no where. Nathaniel sighed. He was used to it but never agreed with it or knew why she did it.

Lionel thought for a moment, and playfully replied, " Well, I am big, strong, handsome, and I am very protective of my lioness~ " He said with a wink. Of course, it wasn't the real reason. It was the fake reason he used most of the time.


Scarlet had returned with some snacks and some soda, " I brought the snacks! " She said with a grin.

Eva raised an eyebrow. *Okay, if you insist thats the reason.* Natalie perked up. *Thanks, Scarlet.* She pulled the figure out of her pocket. *I made this for you, I hope you like it.* Nathaniel went over and examined the snacks trying to decide which one to get.
