"Sorry, missy, anyone younger then fifteen can't sit up at the bar." He said wiping the table. Hawk was about to say something but he nodded. "Right, of course." he said with a smile. "We just need a place to rest for now. Thank you."
The bartender nodded slowly.
Hawk took Lina by her hand and sat down with her at a table. "You're short." he whispered.

Merci looked over. "Yes! Yes! I do! They preach about our Gods! Aimee!" she smacked her shoulder.

Aimee looked over at her. "I know about our Gods, Merci. I listened... a little. I can't help that my mind doesn't want to be consumed with them." She sighed.

"So?" Lina asked. "Could have just told him..." She sighed and sat at the table, leaning her chin on her hand. "I am not pretending to be a kid," she mutttered under her breath.

Hawk frowned. "Sorry. Make sure to say something next time. But you maybe have to be on the younger side. Younger then me...I just dont know how old I look."

Lina shook her head. "You look twenty..." she said quietly. "At least... Fine. Little sister." She pointed to herself.

Hawk nodded slowly. "We need names too...what are Forger names?" he asked. He looked to the bartender and held up his finger. "Hey, can you helps----us settle a bet?" he asked with a grin. "My mother is having another child soon and we're trying to figure out a boy and girl name."
The bartender laughed. "Well, good! It's the year of Kel. Wonderful news, that."
"What are the most common names around here you think?" he asked with a smile.
"Right well, that would be Nicolas and Jasmine i suspect."
Hawk laughed. "Wow then. I'm Nicolas and she's Jasmine. My mother isn't one for originality is she."

Lina blinked, and glanced between Hawk and the bartender. Oh don't lets him notice how dumb my 'brother' is beings...

The bartender laughed. "Well, no it doesn't look like it does it."
"So the third common names?"
"I'd say David and Heather."
"So I bet it's David and Heather." Hawk turned to Lina and laughed.

Lina smiled and laughed a little, shaking her head. "Maybe she'll change her mind and pick something original for once," she suggested.

Hawk shrugged. "Well, that's what I'm betting on. Something common."
the baretender shook his head and laughed. "You two want anything?"
Hawk shook his head. He knew the Forgers used some sort of weird system. "No thanks..."

Lina glanced to Hawk. "Could I get some water?" she asked polietly. If she was supposed to be younger... she knew they served something that kids weren't supposed to have...

Hawk looked to Lina in panic. What if he made them pay!? Or...give their souls!
The bartender nodded and poured some fresh water, walking over and giving it to her. He smiled slightly and nodded. A few more Forgers came in. They were HUGE.

Lina smiled back and took the glass. "Thanks," she said simply, watching the others come in before glancing to Hawk. "Oh breathe," she whispered. "We're fine."
