The bartender turns his attention to Susan, "Of course, Miss. Who are you looking for?"

"Oh, actually! I think I see him over there. However, I would love a glass of wine!"
After paying for her drink, and tipping the bartender handsomely, Susan strolls up to Mr. Graves.
"Hello, do you mind if I sit with you?"

Darius smiles up at Susan from his drink, "Of course, please have a seat. I am Darius. Who might you be?"

Re: Welcome to Kevash.
Xhiero stands outside in a shaded area with Dullahan. He feeds it carrot cake which Dullahan doesn't mind. The horses nudges him for more. Xhiero just pats the horse. "Maybe later.."
They watch an old, snotty, well dressed man walking out of the district bragging about his wealth and giving his attendants a hard time. Xhiero pulled out his book and flipped through the pages. "Excellent...any time now." He eyed the man from under his hood. The geezer started clenching at his chest and fell over. "Died at age 78 from a heart attack" He snapped his book closed. "I'll collect it later..."

Re: Welcome to Kevash.
Susan returns his smile as she sits down and offers to shake his hand.
"My name is Susan, it is a pleasure to meet you. However, I've already heard of the amazing mage Darius Graves. I'm afraid your reputation precedes you. What brings you to town?"

"Just visiting some old acquaintances and a little bit of business. I don't believe I've seen you around here before. What brings you to the grand city of Kevash?"

Re: Welcome to Kevash.
Susan smiles pleasently as she takes another sip of her drink.
"Oh, I'm here on business as well. I've heard that this city is notorious for having lax import laws. I had hoped the family business could set up an office here, get rid of some of our... less savory... stock as well as perhaps locating some interesting artifacts. What about you? What sort of business are you here on?"

Leopold sits and looks around for anything interesting that may catch his eye regarding Darius, or the people that he may have been talking to before Susan approached him.

Re: Welcome to Kevash.
"Oh, I'm afraid its nothing quite as interesting." He swirls his drink and looks up at Susan with a faint smile. "Acquisitions. I'm in Kevash looking for jewelry this time. The constantly revolving market here often allows me to find unique pieces."
Meanwhile, Leo is watching the table from his spot hidden in the shadows. As he watches Darius interact with Susan. He seems very much at ease and not completely evil. From what Leo can tell he was sitting here alone before Susan approached. No empty glasses or water rings remain on the table.

Re: Welcome to Kevash.
Susan chuckles slightly. "Funny word acquisitions, it sounds so professional and clean, and yet..." A wry grin "... it often seems to be a euphemism for less savory methods of obtaining one's desires."
She takes another sip of her wine and finds that she is quite enjoying making idle conversation. She really should try to be friendlier.
"Oh jewelry! I don't often wear the stuff unless it is a truly intriguing piece. Are you on the trail of anything... interesting?"

Darius laughs and smirks at Susan. "Did you not just say you were in Kevash looking to unload questionable merchandise yourself? Regardless, I find I don't need to resort to less dignified means. Enough gold is usually more than enough to loosen a tight fist."
He pauses for a moment and looks at Susan, his head cocked to the side as if he's analyzing her before coming to a conclusion. "I am indeed after something specific. A necklace. Largely unremarkable visually, but it's age makes it rather... special."

"Oh I hope you don't think I was trying to cast judgment. I simply found your phrasing amusing. Word play can be so entertaining, can it not?"
She smiles with interest as he talks about the necklace.
"Oh? That does sound fascinating! Tell me more! Is it only the necklace's age that makes it so special? Do you think you'll be able to obtain it?"

Darius sighs. "I have been trying to get in contact with the owner, but I haven't been having much luck. There are rumors the necklace has great power, but I imagine they're just that. Rumors. People say such things about anything once it gets old enough."

Re: Welcome to Kevash.
Susan smiles as she continues to sip her drink.
"Speaking of rumors. I heard an interesting rumor earlier today! It would seem that a man was allegedly attacked last night by a group of thugs. It is being claimed that they were after a strange necklace in the man's possession. I wonder. Could it be the same necklace? If so, what a coincidence! Unless of course you had something to do with those gentlemen, but that doesn't seem like your... style..."

"I don't believe in coincidences." He smirks slightly at Susan. "I'm sure whoever hired such incompetent buffoons are regretting it. I heard the man made it away safely."

"I can't help but wonder, why wouldn't the person who hired those goons try to barter with the poor man in the first place? I've always felt that everyone has a price. I wonder why this mysterious stranger did not try to find his? Don't you think that is odd?"

"Perhaps that was the plan, but it backfired? I do find it curious why you're so hung up on it though." Darius looks at Susan with mild interest. "Do you know the man and feel offended on his behalf? A lover perhaps?"

Re: Welcome to Kevash.
"Oh heavens no! If I were to take a lover it would need to be someone... interesting. Someone intelligent, powerful, someone with... business acumen. Somehow, I doubt that a sad little man who gets attacked in the streets over jewelry would fit the bill."
Susan laughs lightly before taking another sip of her wine.
"However, I am offended by a lack of finesse when one's desires can be obtained in a more interesting.... nay, more entertaining manner. Thugs are boring. I hate boring things. Don't you agree? I assume you must, after all you are quite interesting."

"He couldn't have been too sad or little to have gotten away though. Ah, well. Enough of this nonsense. The whole matter is dull and as you said, I too hate boring things." He stands from his chair and stretches. "As interesting as this little chat was, my dear. I must be on my way. I appreciate you sharing your company. Till we meet again."

Re: Welcome to Kevash.
Susan sighs and takes another sip of her drink as Darius stands to leave.
"Very well, have a lovely evening. Perhaps the next time we converse, I could tell you the location of said medallion. Wouldn't want to bore you any further tonight..."

Darius stops and turns back to Susan. "So, you do know the man. You could have led with that, you know. No need for all this beating around the bush business."
He takes his seat again and signals the bartender for another glass of wine. "And what exactly would you want in return for this information?"

"I could have. But that is so serious, and I've been sooooooo bored. Besides, I was enjoying our conversation..."
She grins at him over her glass before becoming more serious.
"For now, I require more information before you will earn any information from you. What do you want with this necklace? What EXACTLY does it do?"
Susan pauses a moment and pouts slightly.
"Also, why did you send such irritating thugs to attack us? You told them they could kill me, how terribly unkind."

"Pouting is unbecoming, dear. As I said, the buffoons I hired were woefully incompetent. Just because I say collateral damage is acceptable does not mean it's necessary. And, again, as I told you before the necklace holds a potentially vast amount of power. I wish to study it. If you wish to know more after I've learned what I can, I'll be sure to let you know. There's a mailing list."

Re: Welcome to Kevash.
"Oh come now, pouting can be very becoming in certain situations. Besides, wouldn't you be mildly offended if you were minding your own business only to have some random morons try to kill you? I mean, my company offers much better services for all of your thuggery needs, sure we are more pricey, but isn't it worth paying a little more for a superior product?"
Susan grins leans closer and lowers her voice.
"Now, as for the medallion. While studying an interesting subject is enough for me to do almost anything, I'm afraid that explanation won't hold with the gentleman who currently wears it. He seems to be worried about it falling into the 'wrong hands'. Personally, I don't give a shit what hands the damned thing ends up in, but then, it isn't my necklace. Sending goons after him probably didn't do much to assure him that your hands are the right ones. So. Tell me. Why should you have this special necklace? Why are you more deserving of it than say.... the local authorities?"
