"He knows about our mission?" Zephyr thought inquisitively. "We're........ looking for someone. What's it to you?" Zephyr said, semi-timidly. The feeling f familiarity was there, but he couldn't recognize him at all. It was throwing of his senses, and Zehyr didn't like that.

"I might be able to help." Miko said, his curiousity getting the better of him.
"I know most people around these parts, although they know little of me. If the guy you want is in Nanea, then chances are I'll know where he is." Miko said, allowing Jack to gnaw at his finger. He stroked the slender dragon with his other hand.
"So, who are you after?"

"We're looking for an old friend of Xanth. He was an aide, long ago, and Xanth needs him now. He's a dragon. That's all we know really." Max said, before chuckling at his own forgetfullness.
"Oh, and the guy's name is Namiko. Ring any bells?"

She looked at the black imp dragon in surprise. I thought only Xanth had imp dragons? Clearly, she knew far too little about the dragon culture, she realized as two waitresses brought their orders.
But she wouldn't eat. Not yet. Leaning against the back of her chair, she nervously placed her hands on her lap as Maximus began to explain their situation. All the while, she kept her eyes on the stranger. What was he thinking?
((OOC: Heh. Thought the food would be here by now ))

"What have you got to stay here for?" Miko heard as he let down his mental barrier. He closed his mouth. Was the imp right? Getting drunk, night after night was no way to live. He sighed and looked down at his hands. They were scarred from battle, but seemed ready to hold his trusty axe again.
"Well, once you're done eating I guess we can all go back to Elysia then." Miko said casually.

When the man said he'd be going back with them Zephyr froze. "You're... You're an aide?" He said, slightly stunned. he man's deshevled appearance didn't potray what he thought of as an aide.
Eyeing the black imp dragon Zephyr thought for a moment. There were always myths about there actually being black dragons but..... "Can I ask....... What Dragon Sept are you?"

"Well, once you're done eating we can all go back to Elysia then."
Elise nearly choked on her salmon. She let out a short cough, swallowed her food, and looked at the man---Namiko---with wide eyes. He was Namiko? The aide of Xanth? To Elise, he didn't seem like one at all, though his authoritative tone fit his old role.
It seemed way too convenient for them to meet Namiko here. Either Xanth was secretly controlling fate, or some deity wanted Namiko out of Acantha. Or something else like luck. At that, she smiled slightly and touched the star shaped pendant at her neck. Elise listened closely as Zephyr asked about dragon septs. What dragon septs were there, anyway? She only knew of gold and red.

Listening to Zephyr's question about the Sept, Daoine intuitively answered without thinking "He's a Black Dragon" then looked up, surprised at her own actions.

"I was a red dragon before I went dark." Miko said with a smile at the young dragon. The waves of agression were flooding off of him. Not in a bad way-he just seemed eager. Miko gave his stubby chin a scratch. He supposed he could go and wash up now, instead of wasting time later. He got to his feet, bundling Jack onto his shoulder.
"I'll go and sort myself out while you eat. Won't be long." Miko said with a wink, figuring the questers would probably want to talk in private-quite possibly about him.

"So that's the guy. It seems we got lucky." Max admitted, knowing the find had been more down to their stomachs than their brains. Still, they deserved a bit of luck after the journey they had made. Max allowed himself a smile as he tucked into his steak.
"Was anyone else expecting someone like him?" Max asked, wondering if he was the only surprised member among them. Although he couldn't doubt the strength of the dragon; the drunk wasn't exactly a light weight, but looked like one as he was tossed effortlessly through the air.

Maybe he just missed Elysia. Swallowing her food, she grinned and shook her head. She'd been so nervous when the man was there and could barely say a word. "Not really, but he seems pretty nice."
((OOC: My time and your times don't match well, Nat, so feel free to GM El whenver. You know how she acts. ;P))

Daoine looked down at her plate and finished the last bite of her steak. Then she took another sip of the coffee she'd ordered. She had been right about that, the coffee tasted horrible but this was no time to fuss about minor things.
Looking up at the rest again she asked "So what now? We just travel back to the portal and take him into Elysia?".

"Well, I suppose he's taken charge now really." He finally said, still quite amazed that the quest was nearly over.
"We just follow him home now I suppose." Max thought aloud. He smiled.
"It's lucky he found us though. I don't think we'd have believed anyone else if they'd told us that he was an aide." He mused.

"I can get you all home, unless you want to travel back the way you came." He announced, wondering if he'd still be able to transport 4 people.
"Oh, and now you know who I am...who are you guys?"

Spirit perched on the table after having happilt devoured the fish. Preening his feathers, the bird looked at Zephyr with a spark in his eyes. Zephyr trusted Spirit like he didn't trust anyone else, and even though he was a bird, spirit felt- and understood- that. Suddenly the man came back down the stairs, causing spirit to squak angrily as he revealed his weapon.
Zephyr's eyes were immediatly drawn to the weapon as well. "It's... amazing" He thought as he eyed the craftsmanship and tried to figure out what the materials were. "Maybe... one day I could make something that amazing." He wondered as he stretched his arm out over the table and let Spirit hop up onto it. Spirit complied with a grumpy squak as Zephyr moved away from the table, not even paying attention to the Owl.
"My name's Zephyr, Zephyr Cairbre." He said as he extended the arm that Spirit wasn't on to shake hands with the Aide. "The little guy's Spirit." Zephyr said as he raised the owl up to his shoulder. Spirit responded by happily jumping onto the red dragon's shoulder and brushing up against his face. "Spirit... sometimes I wonder if you're an owl or a cat!" Zephyr thought, half joking.

"Dr Maximus Mills, human. I'm supposedly leading the group, but everyone's so equally matched, the party kinda runs itself." Max said with a smile. He felt more relaxed after some rest, a good meal, and the knowledge that they'd sucessfully completed their quest. He was feeling more like his old self. Max gestured to the two girls.
"This is Elise, our expert human warrior, and Daione, the peacemaking dragon." Max explained.
"And we're just about done, I think, if you're ready?" Max asked.

"I'll introduce you to Jack later, she's just getting her collection shifted." Miko said, before turning to Max.
"Nice to meet you, Doc." He said with a wink and a grin, which the Doctor returned. As he was properly introduced to the girls, he waved at them both.
"I'm ready to go now." Miko said, in reply to Max's final question.
"I'll shift my stuff outside, and meet you guys out there. It's easier for me to transport you guys home if we're outside." The aide said, hulking his bag over his shoulder and picking up his large axe, before walking out into the fading daylight.

She pushed her empty plate away from her and got to her feet as the aide walked outside.
"Did he say that he'd transport us home?" she asked the others in confusion. She must have heard wrong, cause what kind of vehicle could carry them across the wasteland? She hadn't seen any cars in Nanea.

Moments later Namiko came down the stairs and approached the group again. Finally he asked who they were, which sounded quite logical to Daoine. No one in their right minds would go on a journey with a group of unknown strangers, right?! As she moved to introduce herself, Max had already done so for Elise and herself.
"This is Elise, our expert human warrior, and Daoine, the peacemaking dragon."
Daoine smiled, no one had ever called her that before. "Gold, as you might have guessed by now/ she added with a happy wink to Namiko.
Then Namiko walked outside. Daoine took her bagpack and walked towards the door aswell.
"Did he say that he'd transport us home?"
She turned around to Elise "Yes well ... now that you mention it. I wonder what he means by transporting? Let's go outside and see what he has planned."
