Titus Kain
Wolfe Garm - West Cadderly Stevis

Titus glanced over to the other end of the table and noticed a couple of guys arguing about something before one of them ran outside, Titus couldn’t help but wonder what was going on, though the answer to that question became apparent when one came back with a couple of others though, they were armed with weapons, rifles mostly which sobered him up instantly, they were pointing further into the tavern which peaked his curiosity and looked to see a man at a table in a corner which made him wonder what was going on, Titus stood up and looked at the woman who seemed to be just as interested in what was going on as well.

Wolfe heard the commotion which caused him to look up from his meal, and had to wonder what was going on. When a couple of men came in armed and started pointing in his direction, he knew something was wrong, grabbing his helmet he put it on as well as grabbed his rifle and switched his receiver to the Pederson device and loaded a clip in. Instantly tipped the table over and aimed his rifle, without hesitation he squeezed off a volley of shots in their directions dropping one and wounding a second the third scattered and the forth one took cover behind the bar though he was unarmed at the moment. The people in the bar scattered instantly when the shots rang.

The shots of the rifle sobered up Titus fully which caused him to take cover drawing his pistol based on what he could tell the ones arguing must have seen someone they were after and tried to get the jump on him, Titus would remain in cover until he absolutely was needed. Titus didn’t have to wait long before trouble happened as the wounded man instantly turned ‘how many shifters in this town!?!’ he thought as he ejected his current mag and loaded silver munitions. Titus drew his bayonet as the Wolf started moving towards the one in the corner who was unleashing a hail of lead into the Wolf with no effect Titus poked out from cover and unloaded his magazine into the wolf who started to jerk as the silver started reacting causing it to convulse as he immediately dropped to the floor and died a painful death.
West may have been drunk but when the shooting started he was instantly alert and had his shield and rifle in hand, the ones close to him were panicked which indicated that they hadn’t expected so much heat to be in this one tavern, taking advantage of this he came around the corner shield up in defensive posture which caused the one with the rifle to panic and start firing at West, every shot impacting harmlessly off his shield as he aimed his rifle and fired a shot which hit his chest dropping him instantly, the other man panicked even more which caused him to go for the rifle his companion had been using, but before he could use it West had already dropped his rifle and drawn his sword, West rushed him bashing him with his shield before his shield came down cutting deep into his chest. Breathing easy he lowered his shield in time to hear more shots behind him, and saw two more guys fall from a hail of bullets coming from the man who was rushing the door.

Wolfe was in no mood at this point his blood was boiling as he pushed through the door his rifle at the low ready and finding no additional targets in the immediate area, taking no chances he decided best to make his way to the castle and get this mission over with before anymore idiots try to attack him. once it was all over Titus stood dumbfounded he couldn’t understand what had just happened but one thing was for sure the bar was now a mess. Sighing Titus looked around and found the woman he was sitting next to be unharmed and looked at the barkeep “hey! do You have any rooms?” the barkeep was shaking but nodded slightly relieved Titus decided that if he was going to have some fun tonight he was going to have to do something now, so he approached, he holstered his pistol and sheathed his bayonet wry smile on his face he spoke up “I don’t suppose you are looking to have some fun?” Titus was perhaps being slightly direct but after what had just happened he wasn’t really left with many options, the women tending the tables were nowhere to be seen which meant they were scared out of their minds, which meant she was the only option he had.

West stood there and decided that he had had enough excitement for one day and waved the barkeep over, "I'll take a room for the night" the barkeep still shaking nodded and simply took his money and gave him a key. West started walking towards the stairs pausing to nod at Titus who returned it and left to go to his room. The barkeep left a key on the bar close to Titus who simply grabbed it and smiled slightly.

Titus shrugged and replied “why else would anyone be in a place like this” Titus Titus glanced around and noted that some of the women were coming back to clean up, though they looked like they were ready to run at the slightest hint of trouble, Titus feeling slightly disappointed he looked back the woman and while he wasn’t fully drunk he would have to trouble enjoying himself, though he weighed his options slightly before he continued “though if you aren’t then I’ll take my leave, as I’m sure there are others who are” he hadn’t been in town very long but he could tell he was going to enjoy it here since there seemed to be no shortage of women looking for male company, but he chose to stand there for a moment longer to see whether or not he had caught her interest or not before he would walk over to one of the ladies working in the tavern, as he was fairly certain as spooked as they were he was confident that he could pull one away with honeyed words of comfort for such a tragic event and find himself with all the comforts he could ever hope for.

Titus laughed instantly and replied “a strong soldier eh? Perhaps you would rather I give you a demonstration of such strength” Titus admittedly he was looking for a someone but having found someone that had peaked his interest he was now more focused on this single woman “I’d wager you are the type of woman who is more interested in men who can prove themselves worthy in battle than one who simply speaks empty words” Titus sat down next to her, pocketing the key for a moment while he decides whether or not the interest was worth the effort or simply a waste of time, he’d seen many women in his travels though he never found a single one who was adamant as she was which intrigued him greatly. He glanced over at the barkeep and singled for him to come over “two mugs of your best” the barkeeper raised an eyebrow though before he could say anything Titus offered payment which simply got a nod out of him. When he did return he had to mugs full of drink and placed them both in front of him Titus grabbed one and slid it over to the woman, though said nothing else and took a long drink from his mug before e put it down and simply watched her with interest.

Titus shrugged “if you were looking for female company, you would have left with one by now as there are quite a few beauties who work here that would have been sufficient to entertain, but then again being one who is looking for strength of simple words finding one to satisfy you would be quite a challenge” Titus took a drink from his mug and continued “My name is Titus Kain, and most taverns usually do, the best way to get their attention is showing them the money sooner which usually opens up their top-shelf alcohol without delay, and what is your name gorgeous?” perhaps the alcohol was starting to talk for him, but one thing was clear she had his undivided attention. As Titus sat there he couldn't help but stare at her form with great interest, taking in every little bit of her figure as if he was afraid to forget it, perhaps the alcohol was to blame for his desire to pay a closer attention to her as well as had a strong urge to want her.

Titus shook his head and enjoyed his drink for a moment and simply brushed the sarcasm aside before he spoke up “so are you doing anything later?” at this point his drink was doing all the talking, he was drunk but not so much that he was incoherent, and his interest in her was abundantly clear at this point, his eyes were completely focused on her and what she was doing.


Meanwhile…

Emilia relaxed, having put in a request with the local warehouse to get supplies she needed for her store she had time to burn so she went walking since Felix was more than likely fast asleep and Titus well knowing him he was probably pestering the locals, she couldn’t help but shake her head in disappointment that he was a womanizer. She saw a tavern off in the distance and figured she deserved a drink. She casually walked over to the tavern and paused briefly when she saw Titus inside sitting next to some woman and changed her mind about going in, she couldn’t handle him especially if he was drinking, he was always a mess when he drank too much and didn’t want to be anywhere near him during that time especially since she had a cover to maintain and being around him run the risk of him blowing her cover. 'what an idiot' she thought, Sighing she took off down the road and decided she would just head back to the shop since there was little else to be done until tomorrow.

By this point Titus senses were so far gone from so much alcohol that by the time Galen had arrived, not only was his head lost in the moment that when Soairse had shifted back into her sear when galen showed up that he had nearly fallen out of his chair from being so drunk. His wits have been lost so the what might have been telltale signs that he was in the presence of a couple of shifters had escaped him, though him speaking wasn’t doing them any favors either “I… wazz juuus geettin… to know the lady friend here….” Titus stood up though he found that not even the ground could keep him up as he suddenly found that the barstool would not even hold him as he hit the ground hard, which only gave the barkeeper a sigh as he glanced over the bar to see if he could see the idiot who’d become one with the floor “is he alive?” Titus replied “of courssse I’m alive, where’d this floor come from, tell it to go away!” at this point perhaps Titus was having to well of a good time and had misjudged the strength of that top shelf alcohol he’d ordered.

“command to alpha two please respond” squawked Titus comm bead though at this point he was long gone, “Titus come in!" "Command to Alpha three have you seen alpha two anywhere” Emilia sighed and replied, “saw him at a tavern getting a drink why?” Felix sighed and knew he should have laid some ground rules before he put Titus on standby and replied “Please ascertain Titus Status and report back” Emilia sighed and replied “affirm will head that way now” Emilia was slightly annoyed she had to investigate what had happened to Titus, and started walking towards the tavern.

Titus simply nodded though paid Galen no heed while he sat there, had he been in his proper senses he might have noticed more things wrong with him than her. He simply nodded and almost immediately planted his face on the bar. Not long after Emilia reached the tavern she saw Titus in earlier and almost went in, but she paused as she watched the two by Titus, the first one she recognized immediately as the one she had encountered before the other though caught her interest, something felt off about him though she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. After a moment she decided that she would enter but wouldn’t approach Titus since they were there and she didn’t want to blow her cover by collecting Titus who appeared to be overly drunk and appeared to be struggling to maintain consciousness, which would prove to be quite troublesome. Emilia decided that she would stay well clear of Titus while he was in this drunken state and bide her time. Before entering she keyed her comms “Alpha three to Command, Alpha two has been sighted but will have to delay and acquiring him as he’s not alone at the moment, the situation is a code four how copy?” Felix got up immediately and grabbed his gear before he replied “Understood Alpha Three will be close by to provide rapid response if you need it keep me up to date on the situation” Emilia entered without delay and looking around though was genuinely surprised by the mess and simply walked over to a table off to the right side of the door and sat down at the table and simply acted like she was there for a drink than anything else, and simply observed with mild interest.
