He listened to her ask questions, he heard her speak of her holding out for her people against him if he ever came and it would of made him smile but there was no challenge there. He had fought against her people dozens of times and he slaughtered them but maybe she could be different some other time.
Aegean filled his glass one more time, he stared at the glass with the moisture dripping down its edges and pooling on the counter. He forced it to fade away and turned to stare at Neva.
His eyes were haunting, she had seen that look a hundred times when he killed on the field and it showed just what little mercy Aegean ever had if he had any to begin with.
"Tool you say? I have been called that many times. Whats it like however is the same to everyone of them. I am passed along as a means of War, to destroy and let them do what they will. I take out obstacles they don't want to bother with and I do it without questioning my superiors. I am a weapon after all.
I was born to gain knowledge of violence,war,strategy and the game of politics. I am delivered into these peoples worlds while they sleep or fight among themselves and they can do little to stop me.
I am War. I will make your siblings kill you, your parents hunt you down and turn what paradise you have always known against you. Your very foundation of reality will crumble when my men march and I will be standing there watching.
You say you won't hold back and I wouldn't have it any other way. The same goes for anyone hearing this. You are not safe while I stand and I am bound to serve these powers. If given the order these very walls will fall around them and I will drag their screaming bodies out of it and drive my blades into their skulls. I will watch the cities burn, the skies bleed and heavens rain down upon the land.
I like what I do Neva if I can use that word. I was created for this purpose and I serve. I don't sit because I grow restless with normal settings. I grow restless with Peace and her siblings. I take front seats to small skirmishes, to all out brawls with kingdoms and walk among the men and women who spread genocide.
I used to be good in a sense. I used to care about others and still have loyalty to a few rare but if you stand against me while I am bound I have no other choice but to carve you into the very path you attempt to hide from me."
Those eyes darkened to black pools, she could see it now that with all the time fighting,killing,surviving and even himself dieing and being brought back have hardened him as a warrior.
No mercy showed in those eyes and she could see several of the people at the bar getting up and leaving by hearing him. Others moved to other tables and started conversations about the two. Others ignored him as if he was something but a strange fellow.
But those eyes she stared at revealed what he was like under the surface.
To underestimate me is to doubt my power and with this word I will crush you and your doubts.....BAN-KAI!

Gornlan looks disappointed at the large armored creature's order. From such a dramatic persona, He thought he was going to have to break out his best booze.
"Alright then, guy, Here's your water." He slides the simple cup down the bar towards him.
"And something cold for you? Let's see what I can do..." Gornlan rolls up his sleeves, revealing hevily stained hands and forearms. Every color of the rainbow seems to be battling for supremacy on his skin. With quick and experienced motions, Gornlan produces a mortar and pestle, a cutting board, and a tall crudely carved crytal glass.
From beneath the bar come several bottles, some small some large. With speed he begins mixing several of the bottles contents into the glass. As he works, strange yet refreshing smells mix with the usual odor of the tavern.
"A mash of this... A sprig o' that..." He mumbles as he works. Within moments, he dust off his hands and presents the drink.
"Frost distilled mint liquor! Always made fresh. Enjoy!" He slides the faintly cracking, whisping glass to the other.
"Alice will be around in a moment to take your orders!"
Ironside eyes the armored giant carefully.
Hawkeye grumbles something about "Bleeding patrons" and "mess like a stuck pig..." Before ringing a small bell.
"OI! ALICE!! We got a mess on our hands. Use that magic a yers and get to work!"
The pretty young woman puts down her tray
"Okay sir! One moment!" She grabs a mop, mutters an incantation while touching certain points along the handle, and begins to clean up. The mess seems to be absorbed into the fibers, as if it were never there. With a quick flick of the handle, all the mess is flunginto a bucket that she quickly carries away.

Aegean's demon picked up on the man's dislike, he hadn't drank for some time but this was a bar and he had to get something that was a little expensive.
"Bar keep. Bring me your most expensive,toughest drink you have here and make it a double."
Aegean heard a man speak of bleeding patrons, he didn't understand why people always hung out here but he was always moving. He kept his eyes focused on the water that swirled around as he lifted the glass up and took a large drink.
Aegean looked at Hawkeye carefully analyzing him, than he moved on to Ironside and to Alice as she cleaned up a mess. He looked over the barkeep also trying to see what they were and what strength's weakness's and other traits they have.

Gornlan fumbles the herbs he was examining. His expression slowly changes from surprise to pure delight.
"My best? Oh boy... Yes...." He rubs his stained hands together, his brow furrowed in thought. "Ah!" He exclaims, hitting his forhead with one hand. "I've got it! Hehe, I know just the thing! One moment sir..." He says before scampering to the end of the bar, hastily pulling open the door and prancing down the stairs.
Faint crashes are heard along with a deep voice shouting curses. A moment passes before a dishevled Gornlan reappears carrying a box full of bottles and ingredients.
Quickly, he sets up an Alembie to boil. A strange blue liquid is being distilled inside. In the mortar and pestle, various herbs and spices are ground to a powder and added into a small cauldron. The concentrated blue liquid begins to drip out of the glass hardware into the pot, causing little puffs of steam to rise out.
"excellent, excellent..." Gornlan whispers, sliding a pair of goggles over his eyes, and a pair of gloves onto his hands. Out of the box he produces a strange looking vegetable. Something like a green potato. With one motion Gornlan breaks it in half and squeezes it. A sticky orange ooze pours into the cauldron, causing the ingedients already inside to bubble and swirl.
"Okay, okay... Now timing..." After pulling the googles off, he pulls a small bottle from his pocket, which glows with a faint white light. Meanwhile the bubbling in the cauldron is growing stronger as the ingredients react. The pot is visibley shaking as Gornlan uncorks the bottle and holds it at the ready above the cauldron.
A thick brown sludge is splashing over the rim, steaming slightly and sizzling as it touches the counter top.
Hawkeye looks concerned
Boy! You're not going to make a customer drink that....? He says, clearly concerned as the cauldron becomes increasingly agitated.
"Almost..." Gornlan mutters. The cauldron is violently shaking now, vibrating about his workspace. Just as it's about to tip over Gornlan tips the bottle slightly and a drop of shining silver liquid falls into the chaotic brew. In an instant, all motion stops. With a sloshing sound, the brew turns from brown to a gentle translucent amber. The smell of rain and oak drift across the bar. Gornlan wipes his forehead and sighs in relief. "That was close!" He dips a gold ladle into the pot and pours the sparkling brew into a tall glass and slides it down to Aegean.
"My finest creation! I call it, Nature's Whiskey with an essence of Moonmallow. Enjoy" He crosses his arms and beams silently.

Aegean drank down the drink without even looking at anyone, it went down quick and he felt its effects rush through and he sat quietly for a few moments enjoying the sensation fade as his immune system took it away.
"Thank you. It was very good."
Those eyes of his went over to Hawkeye, he was curious about these individuals and decided to question them all. He shifted in his chair so he could see Gornlan and Hawkeye. His demon kept close to the surface, just out of range from peeping guests and the staff. It didn't know what to think and it felt Aegean already begin the questions.
"So what is your two's stories? What is the story with everyone who works here?"

"Barkeep what is the next kingdom or settlement in this area?"
Neva was curious as to what would be next on Aegean's and her adventure. She didn't mind staying here and she was going to enjoy herself while it lasted. She followed Aegean as he eyed everyone in the bar, she knew he was sizing everyone up and seeing what they were made of.
She kept that to herself not knowing the full potential of everyone here.
