"Relax young'un. Your bar will remain safe, I carry no physical weapons" his gaze hardens hearing what thyra had said. "I am simply here to reclaim my property"

She placed a hand on dreals shoulder with a quick shake of her head

A smirk played at the corners of the strangers mouth "cocky little fella...and a thief at that....where I'm from" he stands slowly " thief's loose a hand"

Sighs but tries to diffuse the situation "so I got some new brews back here if anyone is interested, my own stuff I make...." Her tone was desperate, she could sense the tension rising

"Hrrrm hudda." [translation: "I'm interested"]

"Oh! Been a while since I've seen you around" she pulls up a large sealed jar with what looks like yellow tinted water and pours out a small amount into a glass before sliding it to pyro. "Your the first to try it"

Pyro produces a straw, which they place into the glass. They place the other end of the straw against the grill of their gas mask, and slurp up the drink. After emptying the glass, Pyro tilts their head sideways as they process the flavour, before giving a thumbs-up to Merith. "Exfellend."

she blinks at pyro "annnd you just...drank that...through a mask...ok...uh...you know what I'm not gonna question that, enjoy the booze"

He shot a look over at the stranger and gazed back at the weapons box.

"Captain Aphael......take it easy. No fighting in the bar. Remember? Drael can take care of himself"

He started walking towards the newcomer as he untied and removed his apron and tossed it aside "you. Thyra was no longer yours the moment you began abusing her. She escaped you with HER child. She now hasxmy brother, and my brother has her. We do not allow fighting here, and you are outmatched and outnumbered, but if you insist, as the proprietor of this fine establishment, I will be happy to oblige you"

His tone was uncharacteristically cold and sinister as opposed to the composed, warm and charming air he usually exuded.

"Oh I did not come to cause a scene here, mearly to....talk. of something that is of no concern of yours or your...brothers. and you fail to see that the laws of my world are different, what you might call...abuse" he spits the word out "is simply proper discipline"

"...well how about a drink and we all calm down yes? The stronger stuff for you captain yes? And for you stranger?"

"Thank the Emperor we can't get drunk."

"Everything that goes on beneath this roof or with Fate's Circle is my business, child"

"Child?" He gives one last glance towards the now empty table "I am older than you think. But I will abide by the laws here...just remind your brother, I see him outside of here, I feed him to my lord, that's a promise" he tossed a few platinum coins onto the bar top "here, to hire REAL employees rather than....cattle" and he glides out of the bar

She stares at the coins, grinding her teeth "I...am not..cattle"

"I respect you as a fellow employee, Merith. You're doing a great job." Gustavo says reassuringly while sitting on top of Brick, who is floating due to having eaten a balloon.

She looks up from the coins "I appreciate that...those words still stung though." She had started to subconsciously reach for a bottle of booze under the bar, but flinched realizing what she was about to do and snapped her hand back to her side

"Huh? What goes on?"

"Nothing a little one should worry about. Just ignore that, your mother and father will take care of it" she places a cookie onto the bar top within reach of fumizuki
