"Celia, " Niran looked at her kindly, "Could I have a word with you?"

[Dantrag]

OOC: beating Sel to the punch, eh?

[Megil Tel-Zeke]

"well seems to me that if you are going travelling with a band of people, it is better to at least know something about them, that would help explain some of their actions."

OOC: Heck yeah.

[BobV]

"Hm...That is true. I'm not very interested in the life stories of others, though...Never really been. My own is bad enough."

With that, Anthanes went over to the bar to order another glass of flin.

[Dantrag]

"Alright, Megil. I'll play along. What do you want to know about me?" Sel asked.

[BobV]

Anthanes sighed. Here we go...

He took out a book, leaned back into the chair, and began reading comfortably.

[MerGirl]

(OOC: So sorry! *blushes* Ultra-long post)

During much of the arguments and confessions and everything, Celia kept quiet. She was also feeling miserable and embarrassed with all of the hatred among the party members. She also felt annoyed with Konrad for treating her the way he does. And also a little angry with Niran's outburst and talk of his background.

Who does he think he is, thinking he has a right to treat Sel this way? She thought bitterly. And who does he think he is, thinking he is the only one who's lost someone important?

Her eyes started to tear as she thought of Arco. Konrad was very rude regarding her companion's death, treating it as if were something small and unimportant. To her, it was! Konrad wasn't there when the originally small group had fought all those demons back in Cyrodiil, nor had he shared their struggling back then.

And home? Home in Cyrodiil will never be the same again!

Feeling homesick, anger, as well as plain misery, Celia was not in the mood to talk with certain people. One of which was Niran, who had asked if he could talk to her just then.

"No, I do not wish to talk you, Niran!" She snapped, her eyes still streaming, her voice raising. "In fact, I wish you do not talk to me ever again!" She dashed outside of the tavern. Maybe some fresh air would help calm her nerves.

[gamer10]

Niran looked after Celia then took off after her.

"Wait Celia!" He caught her by the arm and turned her around.

"Celia, if I upset you in anyway I'm sorry. Okay, please don't cry now." He said.
(OOC: Sorry about that.)

[Dantrag]

Sel watched the events wide-eyed. He forgot all about his conversation with Megil.

He had never seen such a mixture of emotions come out of Celia - it was anger and sadness all at once.

[BobV]

Anthanes looks up from his book, smirking.

So, it would seem the homicidal maniac feels something for the rather agreeable altmer, but she does not for him, not at all. To be expected, really.

Anthanes chuckles a bit and continues reading.

[MerGirl]

Celia tore her arm from Niran's grip. "Don't touch me! I do not wish to look at you nor Konrad ever again!" She stalked away, wiping her tears with her skirt. "Just... leave me alone..." She grumbled softly, her voice shaking.

[Dantrag]

"Leave her alone, Niran." Sel ordered. "She wants time alone - I understand, as do you."

[gamer10]

Niran refused to leave her alone, instead he walked in front of her and walked backwards as she walked forwards.

"You've joined the rest of them, I see. Let's all go on hating Niran right."

[BobV]

Anthanes put away his book and walked over to them.

"sigh...Nonbattlemages. Would the lot of you stop thinking with your hormons and your blades and start thinking with your brain?"

as far as they have one that is.

"Thank you in advance."

The Battlemage does not leave, but stays at the scene, observing.

[Dantrag]

"Niran. Stop it, give her time to sort through her feelings." Sel reiterated, ignoring the battlemage. "You're acting like a child."

[MerGirl]

Celia glanced gratefully at Sel. "Thank you for understanding." She tried smiling a small smile, but the easy smile faded away quickly.

She raised her eyebrows at the battlemage. "Er, hello?"

Then, she turned to Niran, her face determined. "No, I think we should sort this out right now, right here!"

Her cheeks reddened. "I thought you of all people would act better... would understand that other people are mourning for their own loved ones." She stood up straight. "Sel and I are some of them, and do you treat him with more respect? No! You keep talking down to him, as if he was a naughty, bad boy. Sillly Dunmer he may be, but not bad! So, I ask you," she said, her face stern, "why do you treat my good friend this way?"

[BobV]

Anthanes sighed.

Maybe I'll try and get some sense in them during the next get-to-know-you session. Typical, really.

He sat down on whatever place useful for sitting down happened to be nearby, and continued observing, a smirk on his face.

[gamer10]

Niran looked at her, actually more sadened by her statement that angry. Then he step back and turned away from her. After thinking he turned back.

"It's been unfriendly glares and comments ever since I came with all of you," he said addressing everyone "You knew there was some reason for my unfriendliness, but none of you ever cared. So Celia, actually it is I who thought you might understand me. I was wrong again."

[Megil Tel-Zeke]

OOC: sorry Rl (real life) called.

IC: Megil was startled by Celia's sudden outburst, the quiet altmer who he had been observing this whole evening suddenly spoke for the first time since...he had met her. Megil could tell she was really suffering with the partie's loss. Unfortunetly lacking any knowledge in the matter or real acquaintance, megil sat back and watched the scene.
