Aegis quietly opened the door to the tavern, he was always on edge around this particular mountain village. He tried to hide his face under his cloak as he walked closer to the Innkeeper. "Still wearin' that bandana eh lad?" Said a voice from behind the bar to his left. Aegis slowly and uneasily pulled down his hood, seeking the owner of the voice.
The man was well built for his old age. A well kept white beard and mustache upon his face, along with bright green eyes.
Aegis knew this man all too well, "Dad?"

Rouge was coming down the stairs at the sound of the open door. Always there to greet the guests. Putting on a fake smile she started, "Welcome to..." then she noticed who it was and had a genuine smile. "AEGIS!" Running down the stairs she tackled the man. "Where have you been???"

He grunted as he held his own against her mighty tackle. "I've be- argh, you've gotten heavier..." He said under his breath, hoping she wouldnt hear.

Rouge stepped back. "That is no answer, and I haven't gotten heavier," and she promptly socked him. "Rude as always." She stuck her tongue out at him, then smiled.

"Haha...I've been around. Just explorin'." Aegis turned around and faced his father again, "What about you dad? What have you been up to?"
Donalm stiffened, "Oh, just normal stuff, runnin' the inn is about all this ol' man can handle these days. Course Rouge here helps out quite a bit."

Rouge perked at the sound of her name. "That's right I am a big help. Best believe it now Aegis." She began to examine Aegis heavily, then said "Ya wouldn't by any chance have anythin there for me would ya? Like any shinies???" Rouge pouted, hopin he would hand something over.

"Uh...shiny? Let's see..." Aegis reached deep into his pocket...nothing, perhaps his other pocket...nope, still nothin' but lint. Laqst pocket, what is THIS? "Here you go!" He said, handing her a necklace he found a long the road...not exactly what you would call a heart-felt gift, but Aegis was'nt expecting to meet some of of old friends and family...

Rouge held it up to the light and watched it sparkle. Her eyes liit up. "Thanks Aegis!" Attempting to put the necklace on she asked, "So why are you here?" Failing with the necklace, she put it in her pocket.

"I just need a place to stay for the night." Aegis said, "How much for a night dad?"
"For you lad? Bah...I give ya a discount, 10 Silver!"
"Fine then." Aegis tossed a ba of coins, more than enough to pay for the night, to Donalm. "So Rouge, how long has it been? what have you been up to?"

"It has been too long, and I plan to make you pay for that!" Rouge turned to the stairs once again. "I haven't been up to much. Just helpin out. My skills have deminished as well, and I blame you!"

Wrapped with a cloak closely and bag over her shoulder and back, she travaled for town to town and tavern to tavern. Tired and weak on her travals she thought of staying at the next tavren. Spoting it, she walked in. The travling doctor looked around at some people with in. ' this seem cheery' she thought to herself.

"Uh Dad? You gotta guest..." Aegis reminded Donalm.
"Rouge, this one's yours."

Turning around, with her lovely plastic smile, Rouge said, "Welcome newcomer. How can we make your stay comfortable?" Rouge looked at the newcomer. Aegis! distracted me again. Guess that's a welcome back she thought. Glaring at Aegis, she walked over to the keys.

Nicole looked up to her. "Hello, i was wandering if I could stay here for awile, to work on some of my studies." She said with a calm voice. Tired but calm.

Three little heads poked out from up the stairs and looked at Aegis. They looked at eachother and then the three ran as fast as thier little legs could carry them over to him with a cry of: "BROTHER!"
The first one to reach Aegis was a little girl, Janstine, with a cape and hood on, She had brown hair and pale green eyes. The second to join the attack was a little boy, Marven, with brown hair and the same green eyes and the last was another little girl, Carella, identical green eyes and her brown hair in pigtails with a red-brown bow. Thier clothes were all the same shade of light blue.
