Zar and Bruh laughed.
"alright, I guess it settles it. thanks Bruh. I'll remember to stop by more often. May her light guide you."
she exited the store, walking past shops and crowds thru the bazaar. this part contained more building than the southern part of the bazaar. they came to an interesting spider shaped building highlighted in blue faerie fire. the sign written in drow script.
"Just keep weapons and coins hidden. avoid eye contact with the armored. they usually are the ones who try to start fights."

Veraka followed Zarstra through the bazaar to a blue-faerie fire highlighted building. Upon hearing Zarstra's comment, he chuckled lightly; "Zar, how many drow do you know that 6'7", have a barbarian's worth of strength, are covered in adamantine dull-plate, and are decedent from a celestial?" he whispered to her, "besides, with me standing next to you, they'll probably [b:3t1b4hqd]not[/b:3t1b4hqd] want to be even near us; but I'll keep an eye out just the same."

"hmmmm, fully drow or other bloodlines mixed it?" she joked back.
she opened the doors to a large floor room. numerous tables of many different styles were randomly scattered thru out. to the left was the bar counter. to the back, the door to the kitchen. opposite of it was the stairs to another floor, private (VIP, massage?) special rooms. below the stairs led to the rooms, a short counter and the innkeeper next to it.
most the waitresses were slaves or half drows.
"keep your back to the walls, order the house special and elven red wine" she whispered, "safest bet".
they ignored Zar, nothing unusual about her. but there was everything different about the near 7' male behind her. many watched with more than idle curosity.
a half drow female walked to the table to take their order.

"Clever," he replied back at Zars joke, though he had to smile that the half-blood part of it. He followed Zarstra through the place, more than aware of the fact that he was drawing attention like a magnet, keeping a solid hand on one of his weapons at all times.
When he parked down into a table, he kept his back to the wall.
The waitress came up; "I'll have the house special and some elven red wine," he said, straight and to the point.

Zar ordered the same. and the female walked to the back.
she looked around the small crowd, studying faces, body movements and language, and more importantly weapon location.
"so not too bad a day I supose. But mother will need to get the ladies ready, tho I suspect she is doing that now."
she then remembered to explain, "with the house war coming, we are among the crowds. sometimes we are able to get lone survivors before other matrons get their hand on them. not all except the light. but a few have. this is the first noble house war in a long while."

"I agree; some can be saved or better yet, they accept an outstretched hand; but what with that vampire on the first matron mother's side, gods forbid, then I highly doubt that there'll be any survivors for the losing side."(obviously there will be) As he said this, Veraka's thought's drifted back to that young female drowling, named Zarae, who seemed fascinated about the surface and his offer to take any who wanted to come back up with him.

"if I may ask, what's your story with him? why would he follow you to the underdark?"
the half drow set the wine on the table and walked off.
Zar cast a detect poison and nodded it was ok.
She sipped her wine listening as well as watching the room.

Veraka picked up the drink at Zar's giving the ok.
"Oh what's between tall, dark and blood-thirsty and myself. Well to start off with, both of us encountered each other a while back, about 5 years ago; it was right after I had saved a certain over-sized white furball from near death when I encountered him, well more like he encountered me." He paused, giving the wine taste.
"Very good, this is, anyways back to what I was saying. Apparently, Dacuda knew where to find me, saying that he not only knew what I was, but who my parents were. Not really caring at the moment, I let the berserker come out and we dueled for what seemed like hours. In the end, he retreated, saying that he would return and haunt my life until one of us is killed. So all of my life since, he's stalked me, intent on bringing me to my knees."
He took another gulp; "that is why I believe he came down to the Underdark; he continues to try and eliminate me, though this time he obviously decided to enlist some help. That's about it, for the most part."

Zar thinks, "do you own something he can track you with? house insignia's are able to be tracked if someone's on the run or such. parents? so he attacked your home and destroyed your family? maybe something about them? if you wanna speak of it..."
the waitress brung out the two plates and set them before them. she gave the coins to the girl and turned back to veraka

"My parents; well he's said that he knows of my parents. My father as matter of fact; the vampire says that he knows my fathers fate personally, so I guess, yeah he did, in a way, attack my family, at least the family that I knew. My mother on the other hand, I've no clue as to what her fate was. From what I've gained through our fights over the years, my mother was quite the woman, well solar, anyways." He finished up as the food arrived.
"From what the my tribe, The Black Lion, was able to tell me, she was a celestial of great power, but loving compassion. She came to my father when I was just born, and asked him to care for me. He couldn't refuse his own mate, so he did. My mother then left to go back to her place in the Pantheon of Justice. To this day, I've not seen nor heard from her since."

"Do you think he's lying? or personally involved. what if he is still alive and is coming after you because of it?."
Zar ate some of her lunch in between talking and listening.
"have you ever thought to seek her out? I have never heard of the surfacer's leaving their children."
she didnt know how to state the last part without it sounding harsh.

Veraka ate a little bit of his own meal, allowing Zarstra to ask her questions; concentrating on the curiosities posed to him, Veraka answered, "I honestly don't know to believe; as to whether or not he's alive, I'm pretty sure I would know."
He ate another bite of his meal, and swallowed; "to tell the truth I have tried to seek her out, prior to coming here and in years before hand. I did try to find her; I went through my tribe's shaman, but he could tell me to seek out priests of Tyr. I then went to the temple of Tyr; that was how I learned of my natural abilities. Again, I was unable to get a solid answer, and in more than one way, I was bestowed a curse. Being a paladin of Tyr brought forth the darker side of my soul, the raging animal inside of me that I know as the berserker. After learning that there was this . . . . this . . [b:292ocm68]beast[/b:292ocm68] inside of me, I forsaked my path as a paladin, and took up the mantle of storm warrior in the name of the Dark Maiden; though she has never been able to provide me with answers to my own mother, I sometimes look upon her as a sort of mother figure." He let out a sigh; "the closest find that I've come up with lies in the hands, well claws i suppose, of the mighty Platinum Dragon himself; and only after I complete my task that he gave me, will I know my answer to my mother's whereabouts."
Veraka ate up another few mouthfuls before continuing.
"As to your last comment, you are not wrong; most surfacers never leave their children; but then again, my mother was not of the surface; she is of the higher planes, where the gods themselves call home."

"oh," Zar couldnt say much, but she was intrigued. one thing really did interest her. how he from a barbarian type tribe came to the Lady. most non-drow do because of rescuing from slavery. and many of the non drow were still elves.
"I hope you can find friends here. and your welcome as long as you want."
she finished her plate and sat their sipping her drink. she noticed one group more intent and interested in them than normal. but they had yet to make a move.
*probably waiting till we exit* she thought, studying their actions.

"likely hoping to jump us after we leave. not housless rogues, but not high in station either. their armor is of a poorer quality, but they look more fed and cleaner. they wont start anything in here because of, her there," pointing to a hooded drow in the far courner. "she is a wealthy matron, but not that highly esteemed. they probably work for her and to work in the public view would hurt her work."
