[atrb=background,http://i.imgur.com/nTFsN.png] She totally earned this Yeah she was spending money on ale Money she had just earned in the Marketplace but today had been a good haul, and she figured going over to the cheaper tavern would be a good way to get more for her buck. Sipping her ale, Sandie tapped her paw a bit in anxiety. There were SO many cats at this place. Cats she would probably have to talk to eventually. As much as she just wanted to leave and go fishing, the whole reason she was here in the first place was to get some social skills, something she desperately needed if she was going to bring in more customers to her shop. Maybe drinking until she felt less anxious would help "Hey! Can I get another drink over heah?" Sandie shouted to the bartender, finishing off the ale she already had, before glancing at a few of the other cats in the bar again.

[atrb=background,http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n533/KitsaniCat/Kovumiddle.png] Kovu had figured out that the cats around this tavern were looser and that usually ment more willing to have a chat or a dance. The tom really didn't seem to have anything esle to do in his spare time. With a slight huff the siamese padded through the crowded bar. His deep blue eye's scanning the faces of all the cat's that swirled by him. For once he was in here and yet not completely intoxicated. He could still walk a semi-straight line and his words were only a little slurred. This was almost an accomplishment for the dancer. He spotted a she-cat who seemed to be in need of company settled by the bar. The tom knew her from somewhere yet he couldn't seem to place his paw on it. Then after a minute of just standing there it hit him this cat was the one who sold fish in the market. "Hey, you're fish lady aren't you?" Kovu meowed walking over to her then leaning on the bar.

She had spotted a fellow dancer wander in and wanting to talk to someone had followed them inside only to find the place crowded with rowdy half drunk citizens. Suppressing the shiver that ran down her spine she took a deep breath and prepared to step forward but before she could she realized she had lost sight of the other dancer and fear quickly flooded in. With a soft frightened whimper she turned to leave only to be blocked in by new cats coming to join the crowd at the bar. The new comers were much larger then she and as they pushed there way into the tavern she was pushed along with them until she could no longer see the door through the crowds. Surrounded and scared she whips around, desperate to find an exit but its no where in sight. Instead she catches sight of the dancer she followed in...or at least she thinks that's them. She wasn't sure but it was a better option to talk to them then stand there like a lost kit.

[atrb=background,http://i.imgur.com/nTFsN.png] Sandie, who had gotten sufficiently tipsy after only two drinks, barely registered the cat sitting next to her until he actually started speaking. Sandie was more than welcome to respond "YEAH IMA FISH-LADY" she said loudly, a slur apparent in her voice as she looked over at the tom. She continued, a little bit quieter..or at least a level below shouting. "I'm a fishy fishering fish fish...stabbem with a spear an'.." She broke into a fit of giggles "aaaand I am rambling to a random caaaat hahaha...I'm Sandie what's your name?" Sandie tapped her paw to the bar, flashing some shillings, indicating that she wanted another drink, knowing that if she started talking she would just ramble even more. Not that she cared in her current state of mind. There was another cat around but she didn't notice them with the big crowd of cats behind her. She was more focused on grinning like an idiot at the tom sitting next to her or at the bartender to see what was taking them.

[atrb=background,http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n533/KitsaniCat/Kovumiddle.png] Kovu let out a small giggle. The ale had odviously taken it's tole on the smaller she-cat. "I'm Kovu, the dacniest dancer there ever was." He meowed with a smile. When the she-cat's ale came to the bar he quickly swiped it away. "I don't think you need this one." The dancer meowed though he had, had a few ale's himself the siamese's mind was still working and not a complete jumble of thing's unlike the fisher's. Shaking his head to try and clear some of his more cloudy thought's the tom glanced around the tavern to spot a she-cat looking utterly lost. He recognised her as a fellow dancer and felt the need to go and save her from the crowd. Looking over at Sandie with deep blue eye's he meowed sternly. "Wait for me to get back before you drink anymore." He placed the she-cat's ale back on the bar untouched. As he got up and went into the flurry of cat's. Finding the darkly pelted she-cat he grabbed her paw and meowed. "Come with me." In a smooth voice guiding her back to where he had left Sandie sitting.

[atrb=background,http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z388/Bellidonax/forumtable15-4.png] The dancer she had followed in suddenly appeared before her, making Tambara jump as they grabbed her paw. The said something she didn't quite hear so she just nodded, feeling slightly better now that she was not alone among the crowd. Following the tom over to the bar where an obviously intoxicated she-cat sat with a bear before her. Tambara had never met the she-cat before either but she knew of her from others she had talked to. She never believed what others said though and gave the fisher a smile. "h-hello" she said as she found a seat as far away from the crowd as she could while still being close enough to converse with the fisher and dancer. Glancing back at the crowd she gave a quick shiver and looked down at her paws, trying hard not to think of how many cats were in this one room. Looking back to the others she gave her best shaky smile and tried to think of something quick to start a conversation. she was sure the crowds would be less scary while talking to new people. "so...um...you come here often?" she asked though from the looks of the fisher the answer was obvious.

[atrb=background,http://i.imgur.com/nTFsN.png] "neeeh!" Sandie whined like a kit that had a new toy taken away as Kovu took away her drink. She wasn't even paying attention to him as he spoke, only at the glass he was holding. When he put it down and told Sandie to not touch it until he got back. Sandie pouted and glared at him, looking very much like a spoiled kit as he walked away. Sandie looked back quickly once he was lost in the crowd (which was a terrible idea it just made her head spin) and she turned back (oh god more head spinning) and tried to grab at the glass which had been placed in an area where she would have to stretch over the bar and get it. Instead she ended up face-planting the bar, her outstretched paw missing the glass by a foot. Once she got herself back up into a sitting position, she noticed that Kovu was back..along with another cat. And she looked really nervous. "HIIII THEEEERRREE!" Sandie shouted, responding to the shecat's greeting, waving her paw in greeting and grinning again. Somewhere in her mind, she was marveling at how sociable she was being as she responded to the she-cat's question in another fit of giggles..she could barely stop to talk "snnnk...yeah I..haha...I go here SOOOO often...hahaha" she said in a sarcastic manner..or what she thought was sarcastic, before continuing truthfully "..yeahhh I don't get out much...too busy fishin...fish fishery fish fishing...haha" she waved her paws around and tried to reach out for her drink again

[atrb=background,http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n533/KitsaniCat/Kovumiddle.png] Kovu smirked at Sandie then turning back to the other she-cat. "Yes, I do come here often, and don't mind Sandie's yelling she has had a few to many ale's and Im just watching her to make sure she doesn't pass out and get trampled." He meowed quickly praying that the she-cat wasn't going to lesson him on drinking although it wasn't so much of a worry especially with the drunk cat who sat beside him. Turning his attention back to the brown she-cat the dancer gave her a smirk and pushed her drink across the bar and closer to her. The siamese tom scanned the bar for a moment spotting an open table in a somewhat less crowded area. "Hey, there is a table over there come with me." He meowed in a smooth voice watching Sandie maing sure that if she got up and begin to fall he could catch her before she hit the floor.

[atrb=background,http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z388/Bellidonax/forumtable15-4.png] Tambara looked at the short fisher then to the dark dancer tom "...is she going to be ok?" she asked, her concern clear in her voice. She wasn't sure if Sandie's response to her question had been sincere or not so she decided not to respond to the drunken giggling. Having spent her younger years in an aristocratic home she never took up drinking despite her days with the gypsies and she was unsure whether the small she-cat's reaction to the fermented beverage was normal. She had seen many gypsies guzzle the stuff but they often would just stumble away afterwords. 'Perhaps this cat has a lower tolerance?' she thought to herself. When the dancer responded she couldn't help but smile at the notion of them protecting the loud drunken cat from a stampede of drunks. It was a very sweet thing that he cared enough for the fisher to try but she was almost certain that if the crowd in this tavern wanted to trample the miniature she-cat they likely would. As another table was pointed out Tambara looked around at it a bit nervously. she my not be nearly as small as Sandie but she was slender and easily pushed around and she wasn't sure she could deal with getting lost in this crowd once more. Waiting to allow the others to get up first she slipped her hand into the male dancer, giving him a shy smile. "...mind if i hold your hand?...i..i don't do well in crowds" she tried to explain, hoping he wouldn't pull away or think her pathetic and childish.
