Bellena continued her day of sleuthing by finding her way to a place where she could both get a bit of food and hopefully a bit of information. She walked inside the tavern and looked around the place as she found a table near the bar and called for an ale while she waited.

She was used to much of the rough and tumble nature of Thranes and their bars from her years as a sailor. She smirked slightly as she took in the familiar scenery and chuckled as she saw the belching parrot in the center of the establishment.

"Dinna fash, laddie! Ya'll winna next teim!"

Someone was consoling a broke, weeping drunken gambler lying on the floor of the establishment. Others were laughing. Berena earned a few whistles but the guy's dramatic flare was clearly stealing the show.

She looked down at the man who by his ostentatious display drew the gaze of the Merenaese scholar. She turned to the barkeeper and asked, "Who's that man? Looks to be a wee bit out of luck tonight."

"He be so into his whisky that he bet a jolly rumble with his wifey." Old Isambard chuckled. "So now there be regrets."

She shook her head and let out a bit of air as a chuckle through her nose, "Poor lass... burdened with such a man."

"Lassies need be carefeil who thay take." Isambard nodded knowingly. "Lads gete wallapers reight afteir. Whay Ay haveyn't bound. Ay ken Ay wadda be napty jobby of a-bound man." The old pirate chuckled. "Beit feir ye I wadda have treyd to thye depths an back. Yer me keind of lass. Ginger. Bound aire ye?"

She smiled in a friendly manner at the compliment and nodded her head, "Aye, I be bound."

"A rue. Aw guid be taken." Moss sighed wistfully, then cackled. "A pint on me feir ye." Then poured her some beer.

She smiled warmly, "Thank you fine sir. You're a gentleman and a scholar."

She took a hearty swig of her drink and looked over to the man, "I was wondering if I could ask another favor of you sir. I've been told this is the place to come to hear of the best stories the island has to offer. I was wondering if there wasn't someone who'd like to share a meal with me this evening and teach me of the history of the island? I'd be willing to pay for both of our meals and all the alcohol it would take to hear some of the best tales. I'm afraid the records the Merenaese keep can be rather boring... I should know since I write a lot of them."

She chuckled once and took another bit of her ale.

The Scorpion entered the bar. The information he had from Akarei gave a starting point. Hawthorne was Thranish. He had heard of a Thranish bar in the East Port.

It made sense to go there.

Except he didn't know a lick of Thranish. Dressed in his Merenaese style tunic and breeches. His long hair tied back. He looked very out of place.

Bellena looked over at the Scorpion as he entered and smiled.

Oh dear...

She thought to herself as she saw the fish out of water try and find himself a good place to sit.

Anzai was having serious misgivings about coming here. What had seemed like a good idea, all of a sudden, felt like a bad one. The Scorpion looked about the gruff patrons, but something about the air of the place seemed... infectious. A little charming, almost.

If he had any idea of what was being said.

Looking about, sharp eyes picked out the familiar red hair. Making sure to not bump into anyone, he made his way to Berena.

"Gomen, I hope I'm not bothering, Muhaki-sama." He smiled to the bartender, then in slow, very enunciated words.

"Wanu bee ru, pu ree su."

She smiled and offered a stool next to her, "It's no trouble Shosuro-san. Coming to practice a bit of Thranish are we?"

"Something like that." He smiled to her, taking the offered stool. "I had heard this is the place to go to look for certain information. I should have thought better of it, since... well." He chuckled a bit, a certain sense of self awareness there.

"I didn't think my plan through very well."

She chuckled, "I was just about to start a conversation with this man here about some of the history of the island... if he accepts my offer."

She turned back to the barkeep, "Seems to be interested in stories as well... though not too good of a speaker."

"Dinna fash naw meire, lassie. Ye taek me feir a-deite, Ay beite." Isambard laughed toothless. "Thys wallaper, yers? Ay be auld beit weller." He nevertheless poured a beer for Anzai.

She chuckled, "He's a mate... my man be weller too. I'll pay for this one as well though."

She turned to Anzai, "Would you like to have dinner and some drinks with this man here? He says he'll regale us with some stories."

"I would like that very much, Muhaki-sama." Looking between the two gaijin. He kept the smile on his face, taking the biru in hand. Nodding his head, he raised the draft.

"Sanku yu, barutenda."

Bellena smiled back at the bartender and asked, "Is there a table for us fine sir?"

"Aye, haw cauld dinna be." Old Ise released his place by the bar and moved with them to another spot, carrying more alcohol for them and himself. He met questioning gazes with a broad smile. "We dinna drink lite 'eire."

As the evening went on, his storytelling became very difficult to follow because of the heavy accent, the age and his own preference to beat around the bush. Bellena and even less so Anzai could learn much by asking questions, the stories had their own pace. In general, they were meaningless. But the name of Archibald Dunfrey of the Eternal popped up at some point, and Ise mentioned the pirate map story, and the fact that many a former crewmember of Hawthorne's fleet have been hunting for the pieces, and that he heard that Dunfrey was one of them, so many assumed he had a part. Dunfrey was found dead on Los Muelles and buried expeditiously by authorities before anyone of the Thranish community could react, with the cooperativeness of local mortician. He later heard that the grave was dug up but he insisted that the likelihood the map piece was still on him was close to zero, so he didn't bother to investigate. But that point, Moss simply snored out and could not have been talked with that evening.
