Burning Skies Saloon

[Honeybadger]

*Honeybadger spots Bdr coming in with his mother then starts to considder if he should say 'hi' or not*

Honeybadger: I'm gonna stay out of this one.

*He proceeds to deal out the rest of the deck*

[Yiski]

-Saloon-

*Yiski is surprised as he turns to see BdrLine and his mother.*

"Hello again Liu. I didn't expect a visit so soon after we left, but a pleasure anyways."

"The pleasure is mine Yiski. I have to say your saloon looks lovely."

"Well, she was bein' rebuilt when we headed out initially, but thank you."

*As Liu and Yiski were talking, Ny-Lee came downstairs and was shocked to see her mother.*

"Mother!? What are you doing here in Anvala?"

"Well, we've set up some trade relations with Anvala and gifting a few galleon ships and I thought why not take the opportunity to see my children."

*Ny-Lee walks over to her mother and hugs her.*

"Now this is what I was expecting. Now where's your lovely fiance at?"

*As if on cue, Roland pops out from the back after is shower and sees Liu.*

"Ah, Miss Zhao! I did not expect you."

*Liu laughs.*

"Please Roland, call me Liu. Better yet, you might want to start calling me mom or mother."

*Roland stood silently still for a few moments. This began to draw some concern by Ny-Lee, but Yiski snapped Roland out of his daze by putting his hand on Roland's shoulder.*

"Wha... Sorry about that. It is just... this will be the first time I call someone... mother."

"Oh dear, I forgot about..."

*Roland interrupted.*

"No, it is fine. Really. It is just nice I get to have another mother and father."

*Liu rushes over to Roland and gives him a big hug. Yiski stands back and sighs.*

"Another father, huh? Roland, I'm hurt."

*Yiski dramatically puts his hands to his heart and throws back his head which caused everyone in the saloon to laugh.*

[Honeybadger]

*Honeybadger slowly turns to look around his shoulder to see what was happening*

Honeybadger: Balls to it...

*Honeybadger spins around in his chair and smiles in everyones direction*

Honeybadger: "Hello Bdr, glad you could make it. And who's this?" Whats the worst that could happen?

[Honeybadger]

*Once Honeybadger turned around and saw who was there, his face went pale and flush as he quickly turned around*

Honeybadger: Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. Maybe they didn't hear me.

*Honeybadger hunches his back, trying to hide himself*

Honeybadger: I wonder if I can sneak back on a ship without them noticing.

*Honeybadger slowly starts to sweat*

[BdrLineAzn]

*BdrLine to Honeybadger*
"Badger, this is my mother, who also is the founder and owner of The White Lotus Trading Company"

*Sees him starting to sweat*
"Badger,you alright"

[Connor Mc.]

*The same man looking for Connor comes in with Jibbs*

"Well maybe Connor exaggerated, it isnt that much of a shit hole"

*Jibbs laughs and responds*

"I told you so"

*They sit at a table in the back and Jibbs gives a half salute to Honeybadger*

"Nice to see you again"

[Honeybadger]

*Honeybadger coughs and talks in a lower tone, trying to hide his actual voice*

Honeybadger: *Not turning around* "Hmm? Ye.. Yes I'm fine. Nice to meet you ma'am..." Maybe she doesn't remember...

*Honeybadger is starting to shake and deals a solitaire game for himself*

*Honeybadger sees Jibbs and gives a worried, forced smile at him. Then returns to his game.*

[Connor Mc.]

*Jibb starts to feel a little uneasy but shakes it off*

"So, Richard, fancy a drink??"

*Richard leans his chair back*

"Yeah sure, yo! barkeep! your finest beverage"

*He turns back to Jibbs*

"Hows captain doin'?"

*Jibbs shrugs*

"Still in his quarters, we need to find more medicine"

[RearAdmiralZill]

Zill came down and sat at his spot at the bar. Jun'ko came down shortly after ready for some work.
"Its good to finally be out of bed."

"Speak for yourself." *Zill smirks*

Jun'ko sticks her tongue out at him, knowing what he meant. Zill ordered them both Frost Fire's before they headed off to the Port.
"Might me a day or two before we get back here Yiski. Try to not kill the patrons eh?"

"Oh sure Zill. Want some Sake for the road?" *He gives a sly grin.*

"Cute, but ill pass."

They then both notice Liu and give their welcomes.
"If you need anything from me let me know. I can only thank you for the benefit of trade."

"Oh it's nothing. We've been wanting to for awhile but the Council was always flaky about it."

"Not surprising. Enjoy the city while you can."

[Skyraider]

*Sky and Iris walk into the saloon, laughing and having a good time. But Sky is much different, he seems to have gotten a badge and is much more formal with his uniform, he is the first to speak.*

"Ha, and I thought you were scared when we confronted those Yeshans, and the looks on their faces when they saw I wasn't dead!"

*Iris then laughs and replies*

"They went completely pale too! And to think they were bringing a badge to the saloon to honor your 'valiant efforts'! Ha! You? Valiant warrior!?"

*Sky laughs and then greets himself to everyone*

"Good morrow everyone! And how are you all doing on this fine day?"

[BdrLineAzn]

*Liu looks at Honeybadger's turned figure*
"Do I know you? You look oddly familier to the man my twin sister dated many years ago"

*BdrLine and Ny-Lee is confused*
*BdrLine says first*
"You mean Aunt Luli?"

*Ny-Lee chimes in*
"I don't remember her telling us that she dated a Baron. No offence dear"

*Roland from the bar*
"None taken"

*Liu turns to her children*
"Well this was when we were in our early 20's, my company was taking off and I was dating your father. Well your aunt was going out with this traveling Baron that was in Chang-ning at the time, well I don't know what happen and he was gone as quick as he came. For some reason he looks like one of your friends here."

[Connor Mc.]

*Jibbs and Richard look at each other*

"Well, maybe he was right about one thing, the service here sucks"

*Jibbs nods his head*

"Aye. It's not like this is a drinking establishment or anything"

*The two laugh*

[Honeybadger]

*Honeybadger uneasily waves and forces a smile at Skyraider*

Honeybadger: When is she going to leave? Oh god this can't get any worse.

*Honeybadger slowly turns around and sees Sarah waving at him and aproaching*

Sarah: "Honey! What are ya doing?"

*Honeybadger turns around with a grim expression on his face*

Sarah: "Morning everyone, sorry I'm late."

*Sarah sits next to the now heavily sweating Honeybadger and looks at him semi disgusted*

Honeybadger: Fuuuuuck...

*Honeybadger hears Lius comment and sinks down closer to the bar*

Sarah: "Didn't you date a Yeshan a while back?"

*Honeybadger turns angrilly at Sarah*

Honeybadger: *Using his undistorted voice* "Shut up!"

*Once he realized how loud he said that, his face turned red and he quickly turned back to the bar nervously gripping his drink*

[BdrLineAzn]

*Roland sees Jibb and Richard and goes over to them*
"Sorry about that, so what do you guys like?"

*Ny-Lee at the bar*
"Dear I think you should let them try a White Steam" *chuckles*

*Roland turns around a gives her a face that looks like he doesn't want a repeat with Connor*

[Coldcurse]

*coldcurse turns back and rests his elbow on the bar*
coldcurse: hey bartender what do you serve?

*lockheart starts to wander around in the salloon being fascinated by the decorations, he stares at a painting as his head gets filled with ideas and happy memories*

*coldcurse turns his head and looks at lockheart, he waits a second and says*
coldcurse: lockheart have you seen phoenix? i swear he was with us when we entered this place.
*lockheart turns to coldcurse and replies*
now you say so i didnt saw him enter the salloon with us.
*coldcurse shrugs and turns back facing the bar again*
