Subject: An Inn on the side of the road between Celemir and Pedrimor (PJ)

Addo looked like he had worked hard during the day...and thats what he wanted to look like. He was dressed in work clothes, and had a clean beard and short brown hair, with dark brown eyes and tan skin. The sun would be heading down in a couple of hours. He sat at the bar sipping his beer as he surveyed the room. The room itself was a small cozy one, The bar to the side, with 7 wooden tables adorning the room. Stairs leading up sat by the doorway and led to the sleeping quarters. He pondered on the stairs a moment "No...not today..." he thought, and continued to look around. A young couple in love sat at one table holding each others hand, and looking into each others eyes flirtingly. They seemed to both be Sidhe, athough he didn't recognize them. The man was handsome, with long blond hair and striking blue eyes, not unlike his own, and wore what was probably an overly expensive shirt and slacks. It was the woman, though, that sparked his intrest. She had dark red wavy hair down to her shoulders, and wore a white dress that somehow managed to stay on just enough to remain demure. "What a fine piece", he thought...then reconsidered "no, i dont have time for that today. I doubt they will stay down here long...promising." He smirked to himself. He scanned the rest of the room, noticing an elderly gentleman finishing his meal, and a small group of mercernaries chatting quietly in the corner. He got up to leave, but the barkeep spoke up. He turned to the Barkeep, A rosy faced boggan, who seemed to have a cheery outlook and an honest face.

"That is your 3rd beer, so thats 6 copper you owe me."

Addo smiled at the barkeep. "Now wait a minute. Last time we played cards, you lost remember? We agreed to just put it on a tab. The way I see it, I still got 2 beers coming."

The barkeep look dumbfounded. "Huh? What-"

Addo interrupted quickly. "Come now, your not going to squelch out are you? Don't tell me you don't remember? We were drinking heavily that night my friend."

The barkeep thought a moment. "No...I-"

Addo interrupted again, smiling. "You Remember! Excellent! Well then I must be going, must make it home before the sun sets, but I will see you again tommorow night friend." He patted the barkeep on the shoulder and left his chair, leaving the barkeep wondering, having never met him before.

Addo casually made his way towards the exit, but was stopped short as he tripped himself on a chair, landing next to the lovely woman in the dress. He graciously took her hand as she went to help him up. Kissing her hand softly as he rose, he looked into her eyes and spoke softly with a rich spanish accent.

"Many apologies milady. It honors me to thank a woman of such kindness and beauty."

The Sidhe's face blushed pink with flattery a moment. She looked down softly as she spoke, as if not wanting to seem improper.

"It was not a problem at all good sir...are you alright?"

"Oh yes, I am fine. Clumsy feet is all. Tired from the days workings I'd imagine. My apologies again...Please excuse me Milady, I must be getting home."

Addo kissed and released her hand, backing away with a nod, not leaving her eyes until he turned towards the door. He pocketed the bracelet and ring he slipped off the woman...He would have to examine it later he thought. Addo nodded to the old man with a smile, swiping the tip he left on the table into his pocket, right in front of him without the man noticing. He loved doing that.

Addo walked out of the bar, and over to a trash bin on the side. He ripped off the beard and wig, as well as the extra shirt he was wearing, tossing them into the bin. Pulling out a damp cloth he wiped his hands and face quickly and put it back in his pocket, along with his contacts, and looked around. Addo now stood 5'10 and clean shaven except for a small goatee. He had dark ebony skin, strongly contrasted by his long silky black hair, and sparkling blue eyes. He wore an open blue vest and pants, finishing off with a pair of sandals. Addo was an attractive man, his toned muscles showing with the vest. Addo wasn't the strongest around, but he was the quickest that he knew and his body showed it.

He heard some comotion from the bar and just chuckled. He began to walk down the road casually as a the well dressed Sidhe male ran out of the bar, looking around. The sidhe called out to him.

"You, Eshu...Did you see the man that just came out of this bar?"

Addo spoke with his normal, deep african accent. "Oh yes! He seemed to be in quite a hurry...why, what happened?"

The Sidhe responded "Not enough time to explain. Where did he go?"

Addo pointed South. The Sidhe nodded in thanks and quickly went in the direction where Addo pointed. Addo grinned to himself as he watched the Sidhe, then turned back to the direction he was headed casually, humming and thinking to himself, not really paying any attention to where he was headed. The fates always seem to lead him to where he needed or wanted to be, and he liked it like that.
