Walker was glad to et soone with such a system. He knew that his all around appraisal skill could indeed be limited as he progressed. Making a friend here could be a strong choice in the future. "Glad to et you sir, you may if heard of us recently but we are the omnipotent party. I am the leader walker. My fellow party mates are Su, Rey, and Gil. Unfortunately our other mber is currently busy and unable to attend." Walker didn't want to say sleeping, he felt that would sound insulting to the auction house.
The old man's smile beca wider "ah so your the young ones causing all the commotion. I heard stories of the hero title, a dragon as a party mber, and even that you've beco silver rank. The last of which you show off to the world. Hmm wise indeed displaying your party status and relation to the king. Well in any case no more dawdling here. I Avis Garnet welco you to your first auction." Avis sat back down smiling and making shooing motions with his hands to send them in their way. It had been many years since adventurers caught his eyes so much so that the woman partnered with him at the counter had never seen him act in this manner. She had never witnessed Avis welco a single guest in the past ten years she'd worked.
The party moved on leaving the woman stunned. Avis was thinking to himself that tonight would be an interesting auction.
The main room was large and lavish. A brilliant crystal chandelier was cent of the ceiling causing rainbow light refractions to dance in the air. So ard guards dressed in highly decorated armor waited at the walls of the need arose. In total there were a little over thirty guests. So wore pins or clothing with family crests. Walker spotted a group of three in the corner wearing cloaks embroidered with a beast claw and whip. Those must be the tars guild mbers. Walker thought he should attempt to introduce himself before the start.
As they scanned the room Gil nudged his shoulder " isn't that the guy from the castle that wanted to get rid of midnight?" Gil pointed towards a mad who was wide eyed and almost fearful.
Nodding his head Gil then wondered "why do you think he's moving so far from us? Did your skill scare him that bad?" Gil was referring to walker dragons intimidation. It definitely engraved their party na in to those mbers of the court and guard. However the reason Markus raven was currently staying far away was smaller and cuter.
Onyx had climbed up to walkers shoulder to get a better view, thus letting others easily see him as well. One such person who imdiately took notice was Markus raven. "If I rember right Markus Raven has a fear of snakes and little Onyx here is probably the reason. Hopefully he won't act out but who knows if he'll bid against us." Walker was fortunate not to have to deal with a dramatic scene but was also worried Markus raven would go out of his way to block them from making bids. This not only could effect their quests but also damage their growing reputation.
Rey was staring at a table completely ignoring the guests along with walker and Gil. "Hey I'm taking Su we're going by to grab a snack!" Rey dragged Su to a small table. Various candy coated fruits and miniature pastries had been put out for the guests. Rey had imdiately zeroed in on so tarts with red fruit that shined with sugary glaze. Gil and walker gave each other a look, at least they knew Rey wouldn't be picking a fight with soone. Su looked just as happy.
"Well while the girls bond I'm going to walk around a bit and get a feeling for the room. Maybe I'll et soone interesting." Shrugging his shoulders Gil made his way towards a small group of people who seed embroiled in conversation. As walker tried to listen he heard the odd sentence about arrows being auctioned off. This must be why Gil wanted to head that way.
Since he was left alone and he could feel onyx's curiosity he headed towards the tars guild mbers. He was also curious. The tallest one among them was a skinny man with long pulled back black hair. His features were sharp and he wore thick gloves. The think gloves weren't normal attire so it must be related to the kind of tad beast he had. The second mber was rather short and plump man with brown and blond peppered hair. He had small mustache and seed to be very distracted by food. The third was a slim athletic looking girl about walkers age. She had shoulder length reddish brown hair and too many freckles to count. Her erald eyes seed to pick apart any details, the phrase eyes like a hawk fit her well. That being said she noticed walker coming first and a flash of curiosity appeared within her eyes at the sight of onyx in his shoulder.
"Hello there, I see you're a mber of the tars guild. It's nice to see others with tar skills tonight. My na is walker and this is my little brother onyx." The fact that he'd said, others with tar skills, was not sothing the taller man missed. This basically said that the person introducing themselves as walker had a tad beast but wasn't necessarily a tar.
Casually extending a hand the tall man grasped walkers and gave it a shake "my na is Laurence I am the leader of this trio. The little lass to my left is Elise don't let her energetic personality offend you she doesn't an to be rude. And well the other is Riley, I can't speak for his table manners." The man Riley didn't even look up and kept eating, conversation didn't even interest him in the slightest. On the contrary Elise walked a full circle around walker and closely took a look at onyx.
"Baby little snake there huh? It's cute but it could easily get eaten by birds. Are you sure it's ok to have the little fella out? What species is he? Does he have venom? How big will he get?" The bombardnt of questions was too much to answer at much and if Laurence hadn't given a warning Walker may have taken it as rude.
Laurence grabbed Elise's shoulder stopping her a mont. She made an angry scrunched up face at Laurence for ruining her analysis. Walker took this opportunity to reply to so questions. " Onyx is an abyssal serpent, I don't worry about his safety if need be he can hide on my skin as a tattoo. And for his venom...well let check" Walker looked within the system only to find sothing surprising.
