The Hunter's Lair

"You try going in when the entire bar worth of morons is flowing out." The peeved boy snarled, he seemed to be ready to fight the bird when he approached but the druid finally stepped in front of him. "Let's not try to start something unhealthy. I apologize for my friend's outburst, we haven't been having a very good week, business being slow and such. I am Celtic, this is Motin, and we will leave you be."

the tattered ends of her trench coat flowing in that underwater way again that made her seem so
