Avery scurried about the inn, the rain pounding on the tired cobbled roof. As he stood on a table attempting to line one of the rafters with lanterns. As the summer festival approached Gwellian.
Sighing Avery began to turn on his tired back legs to climb down from the old tavern tables, when a thunderous crack blasted his ears, when the Tavern's front door slammed open, causing him to nearly tumble to the floor as the cold air rushed in. Before regaining his balance, to see a cat had appeared in the doorway...

Diablo slid passed the feline standing in the doorway, grumbling something under his breath from the thunderous crack of the door being slammed open. Why were felines so forceful these days? The witch sighed, shaking his dampened fur and shrugging his drenched cloak off of his frail body. So this was a tavern, then. He had heard about them often, as they were the main places to go for gossip...and alcohol. "Look, I just came here for a drink," he grumbled, "but this cat had to barge in. I didn't know you could want alcohol THAT badly." The warlock huffed, sitting down next to the bar. He could not have looked more unkempt. Usually, his fur would be glossy and untouched by any dirt. However, this was not the case today. "I can't believe I left my home back in the forest for these felines."

A steel gray tabby stumbled awkwardly into the inviting inn. His fur dripping rainwater and clumping together. He held his tan bag close to his chest, leaning over it so its contents would not be ruined by the pouring rain. A flash of lighting seemed to lighten all of Gwellian like a lantern. Moments a later, a crack of thunder rumbled across the kingdom. The sage jumped slightly at the booming sound of the thunder. Why did he choose to take a walk while a storm was rolling in? He set his large bad down on a table and sat in the seat, his dripping fur creating pools of water on the floor.
He lifted his tired head, even during a storm, there were still cats out enjoying themselves in the tavern. A shiver ran down his spine, he did not realize how cold he was until he entered the warm inn. The gray and white tom opened his damp bag and carefully inspected each item. Luckily, the only thing that had faced some water damage was his feather quill where the feather itself was missing parts of its once silvery plume. He placed it back in the bag and laid his yellow gaze on the other guests at the inn.

Avery raised a busy eyebrow, his cream and brown fur bristling in the cold air as the inn door closed with a creak. Sighing he limped over to the two tables where the odd cats had walked in. Before leaning on the table with a wirey thin arm. "What would you both like? We have fish, fruit, bird and every kind of foul poisonous alcohol imaginable." He drawled, looking up and examining the two cats with his pale coloured eyes. His splinted leg aching as he waited for an answer.

Diablo couldn't help but glance over at the sage, twitching his ears in mild amusement. "The forests get rain a lot, so I am quite used to the water drenching me to the bone. Does it rain much in these parts?" he purred, trying to keep the amusement out of his melodious voice. The warlock then glanced over at the tavern owner, smiling warmly. "I would like to try any alcohol on the menu. I don't come here often, so why not get wasted?" He chuckled, smiling smugly. He usually wasn't the one to be picky about matters, so he didn't like choosing specifics. His crimson eyes flickered back to the drenched male, who was sitting down and still drenched to the bone.

Francis raised his yellow eyes up to the pale tom. He quickly redirected his gaze over to the jet black male. He seemed calm and one the sage could get along with someday. At this moment though, he was far too freezing to think about socializing or drinking like many of the others around here did. “Evidently so.” He gave a halfhearted chuckle to the dark rom. He looked up to the tavern keeper. “Whatever you got that’s warm.” He said, his voice cracking due to freezing rain he just walked though. He shivered, his teeth clacking against each other, so loudly Francis thought everyone in the entire tavern could hear. He strained his ears and listened to the pouring rain outside. He realized that he would need to stay the night here at the inn, and that there was no safe way to make it make to his home before dieses like hypothermia set in.

Avery sniffed, wiggling his splinted leg slightly before walking away, his tail sweeping against the dusty floor as he headed out back. Where the food was kept, rubbing a paw over his face, he cast a spell, causing a slice of the hot bird meat and some bread to land neatly in a bowl, before grabbing two bottles of cheap spiced wine off the shelf.
Concentrating on the spell, he walked out with the bottles under his arm and the bowl of hot food floating beside him. Placing the two bottles of spiced alcohol on the table, the levitating bowl landing gently also, as Avery pulled up a chair and sat down with the two.

The dark tom sitting in the tavern began to wring out his cloak by the doorstep, making sure the watery contents didn't flood the floors. 'It's times like these when I wish I knew the fire spell,' he thought in dismay, eventually getting the cloak dry enough to actually look wearable. The warlock padded back to the seat he had originally taken, sliding onto it and casting one glance at the shivering male feline. "Would you like to use my cloak to warm you, perhaps?" he asked, gesturing to the drenched, freezing feline. It was only a matter of time before the poor cat got hypothermia or frostbite. Frostbite in animals wasn't nearly as safe as it was in humans. Not that it was safe to begin with.
