[Social - Blanc & Eoduun] A Stop at a Village

"My my, it's even colder then yesterday and there's more snow too." The calm voice of a young man sounded through the quiet streets. It was just stated matter of factly, as if he was reading a report and didn't give much room for an answer. The white haired man's words though were accompanied not by one, but two pair of feet dragging through the snow below them. Accompanying his own pair, was the pair of a man about twice his age, in fact the man walking behind him could've been his father by age but it was not as simple as that. While he wore a well decorated and expensive looking get up complete in white that looked like it came from a foreign country, the man behind him - who was carrying two big bags of food and different kinds of tools under each arm - was dressed in only a pair of shorts and a thin shirt, with not even shoes on his feet. Fact was that in peace village there was a young man who liked to turn things on their head for his on enjoyment. He wasn't evil per se and didn't look to hurt anyone, but where ever he went peoples lifes seemed to accellerate by a few times once they got involved with him. In that vein, the man that was carrying all of Blanc's bags with far to little clothes on himself, was not doing so because he liked the newcomer, but because he got involved with him carelessely. He and his friends who had partaken in a friendly round of fun gambling, had let the guy join in and it was then when things got taken into overdrive and after loosing too much, the man turned Blanc's carrier had to uphold the bet of being the mage's 'personal assistant' for a day, listening to his every request. Again, no real evil intentions were held by anyone, but this humiliation from Blanc's side, was his way of taking the W. An answer to the Swordsman's remark about the weather would not come, the 'assistant' had decided to nt get involved with him any further then their promise.

After a few more minutes of walking, Blanc energetically pushed open the door to the same inn that Eoduun had entered earlier and walked over to the counter. He noticed the other mage and that he was way unique compared to the other people in the village, but didn't pay much attention to him yet. Instead the white haired male ordered drinks. "I'm back from my little shopping trip chief, how about two nice, warm drinks... how about hot chocolate?" Blanc had been here for about three and a half days now and was preparing to head for the siver wolf guild to give it a proper look. For that he had collected some intel and the necessary food and tools for his journey into the mountains. He could leave by tomorro morning, or so was the plan. With a satisfied grin he stood at the counter and waited for his two drinks. What he got first though was a little comment, "Boy, I told ye to not cause trouble for anyone I've gotten complaints already and now you do that?" The innkeeper pointed towards Blanc's companion. Blanc turned around and let out a dragged out, Ohh~ That's right almost forgot, come here, you can put my stuff down here and take a seat. I got us drinks and don't worry, I consider our little bet paid off so you enjoy your drink." Like everyday, he came in and had most of the eyes on him, while being as unpredictable as ever. All that everyone who had seen him was sure of, was that he wasn't quite to be trusted.

When he heard the word 'guild' one could be sure that Blanc was already working his brain again. Who was that strong seeming fella that had been at the bar before him? He was part of a guild and seemed to be quite adept at using magic. Which magic was unknown to Blanc but he could sense the extent of his overall magical power and knew that he himself was weaker. It seemed he needed to put more effort in his training as a mage, almost everyone he encountered was stronger then he himself. Getting a personal weapon was also on the plan so he wouldn't have to rely on slapping his opponents in fights. But that was unimportant right now as he didn't plan on fighting. Instead he had a new person on his radar that seemed to be interesting or atleast helpful on his travels. Without waiting much longer, once his drink had arrived, he left his stuff standing infront of the counter and made his way over to the weird haired mage and sat himself right across from him. After setting his drink down he folded his hands and supported his arms at the elbows on the table, so he could in turn rest his head on his folded hands. For a moment he just smiled at the unknown guild-living mage as if he was an inteeting animal he was expecting a fancy trick from. After just a short moment, he raised his voice and spoke up. "I coulnd't help but overhear you're a mage. That's great, because I was looking for someone who knows his way around here and might be able to tell me how to get to the Silver Wolf guild." Trying his luck he added, "I was actually straight up hoping to have found someone of said guild in you, since the old man said something about a guild and you." Staring at Blanc's smile might have been a little unsettling as it seemed to remain perfect throughout the whole time and yet mae it difficult to read into Blanc's mind.

Blanc's response was only a few nods, his expression not changing as his eyes took a litte time to inspect the unique garb the boy was dressed in - not that he was one to talk. Thinking about what the guy infront of him had said, he guided the topic into a different direction by straight up commenting on what had been on his mind since the guy had introuced himself. "Well, that's a name I din't know existed. I'm sure you had difficult teenage years." He nodded and continued as if he had not just made an unnecessary comment on a man's name he didn't even know. ""My name is Blanc, nice to meet you. I am but a wanderer with a passion for books." He shook the man's hand and folded his hands on the table while leaning back in his chair. "I am gad to have found someone who might be able to help me, you see I am on a great journey of knowledge, yip and while I don't expect to learn any secrets of your guild, I though a visit might be able to enlighten me for my future travels." That was not really a lie, but it wasn't like he was onl travelling for knowledge, his main goal was to enjoy himself and that eant he might or might not cuse problems for one or two silver wof members. He didn't plan to, but him upsetting someone for his own entertainment was nothing new. "So you say the mountains prevent people from reaching the guild, hm? Is there any tricks I can apply or anything I need to keep in mind? You see, I would really hate trouble anybody by accidently causing a landslide or something!" He exaggerated ofcourse, but he didn't really get much information out of this boring village, so he had to start somewhere. He grabbed and nipped at his hot chocolate, watching Eero as he was expecting some sort of answer from the presumably younger man, noting that his his magical power had an unpleasent feeling to it.
