Maybe beasts just didn't like skunks that much. Sitting there at the corner table of the tavern by himself with a glass of ale he'd bought without thinking and subsequently refused to sample, Dengoro was getting the impression that nobody wanted to be around him. What is it about me? Is my stripe unattractive or something?
He was all set to pay a tip and leave when something stopped him.

"eh... whats this? I havent seen a skunk around here before, maybe I should say hi, make a friend." Aldar Twinspike walked up to the skunk. "Hey there why the long face?"

"Possibly because you're the first beast in the tavern to even ask." As his chair was backed up right against the wall, Dengoro let his head rest on it, idly staring up at the hedgehog in front of him. "Who are you?"

"The names Aldar... Aldar Twinspike, sorry if I offended you or somthing. So are you new here?" Aldar sat down next to the skunk. Maybe it was time for another new friend.

"I enlisted in the fort today, but I've lived in the village for... Oh, about my entire life. I didn't get out so much, though... My name's Dengoro, by the way..." The skunk lifted his head up off the wall and looked at Aldar sitting across from him, and after a few seconds pushed his full glass out of the way. "I haven't touched that and I'm not going to."

"Eh im not thirsty myself actually." Aldar pushed the drink away. "So if you are not new here, what made you want to join the Army? I could train with you some time if you are up to it."

"What made me join? Well, first of all, let me tell you that I'm skipping basic training, I practiced more than enough before enlisting to smash the prerequisite test. Second of all, let me tell you that that practice was all I had to do. Third of all, let me tell you that I had nothing better to do because my father was too busy being drunk all the time to help me with any civilian trades. There's a reason I'm not gonna touch that ale... Oh, by the way, he's dead now, had an ale too many and just died, so I'm free to join now, aren't I?" Once he was done with his little rant, Dengoro sighed deeply and let his head rest back again. He had nothing more to say and now he didn't feel much like doing anything.

"Eh now who let him do that? Uh Im sorry for what happened." Aldar hung his head low no longer making eye contact with the skunk. What a horrible way to die... I feel bad for the beast, not that I havent had my losses...

"...What do you mean, who let him? Who could stop him? I was never here at the tavern to govern what he was doing, and if I ever voiced my thoughts, all I got in return was a slap in the face. Guess he can't do that anymore, now, can he?" The situation was becoming more and more awkward and Dengoro knew it, but he couldn't restrain his words. The death of his father had provoked emotions that had never gotten an outlet, and even as he shakily made his rhetorical question, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Uh sorry... I didnt mean to bring it up." Aldar stared at the beast. "But it is true that he wont be doing it anymore." Even though it was a rhetorical question, Aldar still answered it. He felt like it was needed.

Wow... Calm it would you both please?
**Having just entered the tavern a mere moment ago, Raiden was still wearing his coat and hat... But he had heard Dengoro and alder's conversation as he had pushed the door open... And with him being him, he had wandered over to see what was going on.**

"Obviously, I'm so riled up and violent that I'm sitting here in my chair and talking, of all things. Good to meet you, I'd offer a seat but there aren't any at this table..." Dengoro was sitting at a table for two. He looked up at Raiden idly, wondering what it was that had this mouse so... Paranoid.

**Raiden cooly raised his eyebrow at Dengoro.**
No need for the attitude there... I'm just concerend for the other patrons...
**Giving Dengoro the once over, Raiden's expression changed into a half smile.**
Skunk right? I heard there was a family or two living here...

"There was. I'm kinda the last one around. ...And I've enlisted, that's sure to blot me out..." Dengoro glanced around the room, looking for any free chairs that might be pulled up. "And what's your name?"

Too bad... Military service is okay... If you've got no future, like me, or if you want to do it... I ran from a life of military service to attempt a peaceful life, then to one of war... I'm a warrior to the heart mate... Can't change that fact... Name's Raiden. Raiden A. U. silversword VII.
