Stories, indeed. Theo flashed a welcome grin at the newcomer, tapping a paw against her chest as she too, introduced herself. "Theodora. Theo. And by the creator, it certainly does count." Alys' story was one she knew well. And as Riven answered in kind, the female nodded in acknowledgement. "You're stories are ghosts of my own memories, because I have had the same. It started off small, but quickly snowballed, yes? A lady does not yell, does not run...until it is a lady does not think, fight, live! But," Her gaze roved around the table with those she sat with as she took one last gulp from her glass, claw running over the rim now. "We proved them boys wrong, didn't we?"A soft laugh followed as she leant back, arms crossing over her chest. "So lets congradulate ourselves lady. For these boys would be lost without the lot of us."

Alys raised her glass of ale to the cheer but knew that really if she wasn't there the only thing different would be a bit of dust would settle on the palace furniture, cobwebs would gather in corners and the royal cook would be short a hand, but still manage his job with ease. To her the cheer was different, it was a vow to change that. She would make something of herself.
"Aye" she agreed and polished off the rest of her drink, waving for another.

Riven nodded at Theo's words with a quiet laugh - oh yes, she knew it all just so well.
"The day will come.. when all males will finally acknowledge that we aren't that helpless at all.. in fact I believe that most of us could actually totally kick their butts anytime. And yes, they'd be oh so lost without us," the wanderer grinned, raising her ale. "Us, ladies, don't start a fight.. in most occasions anyways. But we finish them nevertheless! Cheers!" She raised the glass to her lips and finished off the second ale.

Theodora nodded sagely. The she-cats words were by far the truest she'd heard in some time. How many grueling years had it taken for her to be taken seriously, even as her talents catapulted above the rest, both male and female. Wasn't she one of the most desired Shade's in the Empire? Hadn't she caught more than her fair share of underground scum? And still, the compliments were always dampened by the awe of her overcoming her gender. They do not praise me for my hardwork because of my skill, but because I am a female who has overcame my natural weakness... The thought flared something inside her, and beneath her sash she fingered her dagger to calm her growing anger. Gaze now rose both Riven and Alys, glowing like a melting gold as she murmured in still calm tones, like a deep water melody. "I bet we could take on all these stuffy males without much trouble...what say you?" It came out sounding much like a jest, but something about her tones proved otherwise as she waited, watching them. The battle she often battled with her sensitive nature thrashing in her mind, and the constant nag of her siblings voice whispering there, his voice barbed. You never could take the judgement of others, could you, Sis?

The bar tender returned to the table and handed Alys an ale, which she took without so much as a glance. She was looking at Theo, "Aye, I could take em' without shooting a single arrow." [\b] she was serious, she didn't near her arrows to fight, not to say she was weaponless but her weapon wasn't the sort a male would think to use. She shifted in her seat and the coins on her scarf clicked together like music. She swirled the ale in her glass, catching her reflection a few times as it went, she wasn't sure if Theo was serious, so for now she would treat it as a joke. She sounded serious when she was joking anyways so no one would be able to tell how confused she really was.

"I completely agree with both of you," the wanderer voiced, once again lifting the glass to her lips to completely finish off her ale. Something about the way Theo said that made her wonder what was on her mind. And for the first time she started to wonder about her occupation; not that she actually cared though, she was an awesome feline, just the kind the liked talking to.
"Males.. they seriously lack wisdom sometimes. Pretty often actually," Riven sighed, glancing across the room, once again scanning the tavern with her eyes.

Gaze fixed on her glass she tilted her head, considering the fellow she-cats words with an expression of deep thought. The alcohol had made her body feel warm and loose, pleasantly strong as she flexed the sinewy muscles she possessed. It really wouldn't do well to start a fight here in the tavern, being employed by the Empire and all. They didn't appreciate stains on the spotless reputation they had. However, they never said anything about outside the tavern walls..."Those addlebrained males over there have been eyeing us all night... Gesturing two four toms who indeed were staring drunkingly in their direction were now grinning from ear to ear, one lifting his mug of ale in gesture of greeting. Theodore snorted. "Perhaps we should invite them outside for a bit of a tussle, eh?" Gaze turned towards Riven and Alyse, grin enlarged to show bright whites glittering. Perhaps they would join, perhaps not. Either way, Theo felt the need to stretch her muscles, and why not prove a feminist point while she was at it?

((can someone plz tell me how to bold? I'm failing XDD))
Alys smiled from ear to ear, the edge had been taken off her soreness, now her muscles just needed a good stretch. This would be the perfect thing to help. "I'm in," she agreed, "I'll get them outside" She was the least drunk of the three, only having one and a half drinks, but as she walked over she added was sure to make her steps seem unsteady and added a slight sway to her hips. A flirtatious smile splayed across her face. "Hello boys" she purred in greeting, "I couldn't help but notice you looking, my friends and I were wondering if you wanted to go out, and have a bit of fun. Dance a bit maybe" she swayed her hips a bit like a belly dancer would, her scarf chimed. The drunken toms smiled wide, and nodded, she took one by the paw and pulled him lightly from his seat, leading him to the door, closely fallowed by the other three. Alys glanced at the others and nodded for them to fallow.

{ Bold text here x3 }
Riven nodded slowly at Theo's words and smirked. "Oh you can surely count me in," she grinned, setting her ale back on the table and glancing into the direction of the toms - she hadn't paid any attention to them until now. After all she'd had a couple of ales, thus had some bravery and stuff, and a tussle sounded just right for now.
"Sounds like a plan," the wanderer smirked and watched as Alys went up to the toms' table and seemed to succeed at inviting them outside. Of course, the seaweed brains they were, the toms agreed. Getting to her feet to follow, the sandy brown she-cat stretched her fingers one by one - she'd have to use her hands or the dagger, for she hadn't thought of taking her bow with her. Not that it was necessary, Riven was sure that she could take on the toms single-pawed anyways.

Theodora followed suit, shaking her head as she watched the toms follow the fellow she-cat like lambs to slaughter. "Why am I not surprised?" She murmured to Riven as they slunk out behind the males to outside the tavern. The drunken louts were staggering around with an air of pompous masculinity. Obviously proud that tonight they would most certainly gain such conquests as the three sultry females. Oh, but how wrong they were. The shortest of them, ofcourse for they never ceased to always come for Theo being of such height, sauntered over to her with the same stupid grin on his face. "How bout it, Legs? Wanna beeee my dancin' partner?" His slurred flirtation was enough to make her growl in disgust. Perhaps playing a bit with them would have been some fun, but Theodora didn't want to play. She wanted to conquer. A coy grin stretched over her muzzle, and then her fist shot out and landed squarely on his chin, sending him flying back. The shock on his drunken face teased a full throated laugh out of her. "Now that was just FUN."

Alys purred quietly to herself as she saw the tom go flying. She wasn't in this to prove females were better than males, she was only in it for the thrill of the fight. The tom who's paw she had taken had started drunkenly dancing beside her and she had been dancing to humor him as the others caught up. He jumped and turned around to see what had happened but she stopped him, "He just fell over, don't let him spoil our dance she purred in a sweet tone. She slid her scarf from her waste as if she would dance with it and then within a moment her stance changed. She was no longer light on her paws, but standing firmly in one place, lashing out one leg with scarf in-paw. It wiplashed and the coins on the end hit him in the face, one making its mark close to his eye. I should be careful not to blind the poor drunk She thought to herself as he staggered back in confusion.

Riven followed the two out of the tavern, followed by the drunks. Her mouth forming a slight smirk, she stepped outside and turned to the toms, and while the other two she-cats pwned some of them, the sandy coloured wanderer picked out her own victim - he was just a little bit shorten than herself. A good dance partner indeed.
Making her way towards the tom with the same mysterious smirk, the she-cat made a turn around, moving her hips gracefully as she danced her way up to him. The drunk was grinning of course, seemingly not aware of what was happening to his sidekicks. Pulling him closer by his shoulders, Riven looked straight into his eyes. "How about a dance called.. kick-all-the-filthy-drunkards-butts?" She whispered into his ear, and with those words the she-cat proceed a kick aimed for the tom's stomach, sending him flying backwards.

You could've been such a nice female... Her brothers voice was taunting, enough to send another growl rumbling through her slender figure. The tom flattened on the ground before her was still staring up in bleary surprise, unable to even voice a response. His swollen jaw didn't help that fact. Theo's adrenaline was beginning to course quickly through her veins now, pulsing in her ears. Though Theo wasn't your average beauty, in the midst of battle, this was the closest she came to it. For she was all graceful lines and fluid motion. A paw gestured for the male to retaliate, grin wolfish. With a scowl the male struggled to his feet, eyes narrowed hatefully. "You're gonna pay for that you skinny witch." Claws sprung from his paws as he lunged forward. The movements were sluggish and the she-cat dodged easiy,using a hindpaw to slap him in the rump and sending him once again sprawling. "Come now, Big Boy, you could atleast give me a little challenge..." Theodora really should've felt some guilt about all this, but hey, she put her life on the line for the Empire everyday. Why couldn't she have a little fun? She looked towards the other females, and seeing them busy couldn't help a chuckle. "We should really make this a holiday, ladies."

Hearing Theo's comment, Alys chuckled, "Fun ain't it?" The drunk she was fighting had cursed at her and struck out for her face with a badly aimed fist. She ducked out of the way with ease, still dancing. She circled the tom swaying like a cobra, waiting for the perfect chance to strike. The tom moved slower than her, once she managed to get behind him, and leaped, placing both of her from paws on his shoulders she pushed the unsteady cat to the ground. Completing the attack with a flip, landing on all four. With that someone cannoned into her side, the fourth drunkard, she had forgotten about him. He was bigger than the others and pinned her down. She was a good fighter but their wasn't much she could do with her arms and legs pinned to her earth.

The tom seemed, well of course, pretty surprised. "This is not how you--" he muttered, getting to his feet angrily. Riven was standing a couple of feet away, grinning mischievously, and the tom seemed a little confused as to what was he supposed to do. "A coward? D'aww, I was hoping for a bit of challenge, you know.." the she-cat sighed, raising an eyebrow at the feline before her.
Unsheathing her claws, the sandy brown she-cat sprung forwards, knocking the tom off his feet - he went stumbling backwards, tripped over a couple of barrels and seemed to be pretty much knocked out - at least not in the best of conditions.
Turning sharply to the other side Riven noticed that quite a large tom - and not an attractive one as well - had pinned Alys down. "Hey you," she called. "Yeah you, the ugly one," the she-cat grinned, watching the tom bare his teeth and turn towards her, letting go of the other she-cat. All of a sudden there was an empty bottle in the hands of the wanderer - and the next second it was flying through the air, aimed for the tom's face.
