Green Dragon Drinks

It's a slow day at the Green Dragon Inn.

Kirito was here today, dressed in his pitch black clothes with his sword on his back, he has a simple drink in front of him. Non-alcoholic by the looks of it, but it appears to be somewhat fruit-flavored judging by the loud colors of yellow and red. He takes slow sips at his drink while he sits at the bar byself.

Apparently, he's reading something, but...well.

C'est la vie.

Goldenblade is not an oft-seen face in Shibuya, normally, but she's here for the tournament and apparently something of a minor celebrity, and she's done announcing for a few of the fights. Kirito might recognize her from the earliest days of the game as a protege of his friend Nyanta. They were the same class, so he taught her the basics as she was absolutely clueless back in those days.

She seems to have picked up at least some clue since then, she's got good gear and a solid look about her as she pushes through the door, and calls for a beer as she heads to the bar, offering a familiar nod of greeting to Kirito. "Hey," she greets him, apparently remembering him from way back even if he doesn't remember her.

That familiar voice reaches Kirito's ears and he sets whatever he was reading back into his coat, turning in his seat to look at Goldenblade, an old friend from a long time ago. "Hi Goldenblade. Good to see you again." Kirito's hair was a little bit longer than she might remember. His features look a bit more ragged. His gear is well-worn, but highly maintenanced. He remembers her well, though last she may have heard, he was trying to clear levels in the Tower with many others.

What's he doing back?

"How've you been?"

Goldenblade looks pleased to see the Black Swordsman, though she gets him confused with Johnny Cash sometimes, the man in black. "haven't seen you in years," she admits, but she's not clueful enough to keep tabs on people, so she'll just ask: "they been keeping you busy? I'm still running my Academy," she explains, referring to the Crescent Academy, which she'd shown to him two years ago. "Not much has changed with it, sad to say," she says with a laugh, "But Nyanta's helping me out there now." She and Nyanta are the same class, Blade Dancer, he might recall, and he was instrumental in her early training in the first days in the game.

The elf known as Erufu she's not a Pooka and will never admit to such. Seriously she gave an elder being a connpion about her considering herself an elf to the point he thought she was broken. She's in her waitress outfit as she'll come up to the pair grin and bow slightly before them both.

"Goldenblade welcome! I fear I have not met your friend yet! Welcome to the Green Dragon Inn. I'm Erufu what can I take you both for?"

"I've been at the front. I'm sorry...I uh, seem to have missed plenty. I hope I haven't lost your friendship, at the very least." Kirito remarks to Goldenblade. "Yes, typically. I had decided to come back on leave, but..I suspect I'll be back on the front soon."

He smiles softly. "Are you? That's wonderful. Is Nyanta doing well? I suspect your Academy's doing incredibly well."

He turns his eyes towards Erufu. when she walks in, tilting his head softly.

"Oh, you're the proprietor? Well, thank you for the warm welcome. I'm Kirito." He nods softly. "Well, can I have some more of this drink?" He lifts his sweet drink.

Goldenblade smiles to Erufu and was at first wildly confused by her. She thought she was an Lander at first because she /never/ broke character. But then RPers were explained, and now GB just sort of goes with it, though it seems strange to her. "Thanks," she sats in response to Erufu's greeting. "This is Kirito," she introduces him to Erufu."

"Kirito, this is Erufu. Uh, just yeah." He's probably way more save on the RP thing than sne is, he'll figure it out. "Erufu, just a beer and stew tonight," she requests by way of food, as it's suppertime.

To Kirito, she says, "The Fro-? Oh, you mean up in the Tower? Yeah, we've lost a ton of ground there since the Palace Lands business," she complains. "But yeah, Nyanya's fine, and the Academy ... well, apart from training the occasional move, we haven't really found our niche." As to the rest, she laughs, "You know me better than that, I'm not some dependent old lady that needs reassurance all the time. I'm still your friend." The other detail Kirito may remember is that Goldenblade's player is a seventy-five year old retired bricklayer.

Erufu says "I am indeed and your welcome Kirito! Would you like a pitcher?" She asks just to be on the safe side. She looks confused at Goldenblade for a moment. She just grins and will take Goldenblade's order as well.

"I wonder do you need anyone to teach any sort of bushcraft or hunting related thing to your students?"

She notes curious about that. Once she has an answer she will vanish for a moment to fetch both of their orders.

Goldenblade says to Erufu, "If I had students, that would be a yes. As it is, it's an empty building with a lot of plans. And I can keep my smithy there, which is convenient, at least. But I'm afraid I need to head out. Take care, both of you." And so saying, she heads out.

Kirito looks at Goldenblade for a moment, before he looks at Erufo. "Erufu...nice to meet you." She seems....excentric? Well, eccentric? Though he seems to smile softly at Erufu. "Sure, that sounds nice." Thoug hhe tilts his head. "Bushcraft?" Seeming unfamiliar with the term, but hunting works well enough. "Ah." He mentions, before he looks at Goldenblade.

"Yeah...and it's been difficult to keep up and regain ground, but the Palace Lands thing might be...well, yeah. Difficult is a light way to put it." He chuckles. "I appreciate it, Goldenblade." He turns his eyes to Erufu when she returns wit hthe orders.

"Thank you."

Goldenblade's departure is noted, as he waves at her.

Erufu nods "Yes, how to surive in the wildness with limit gear." She grins again as she return with Kirito's order.

"So Kirito, I do think I heard your name a few times before." She will then take a moment to wave ot Goldenblade as she heads out with her order.

"So what has you in town and are you looking for a room?"

Erufu will once she's finished with the orders head off as she's got more customers to attend to as it seems some new adventurers have arrived looking for a meal. She will call out to Kirito about the prices on rooms if he needs one. The rates ain't too bad at all either...
