Moon had darted after the man before Tristan but was being overtaken quickly. When Tristan was passing her she leaped and clawed her way up his clothes and onto his shoulder. When Tristan lifted the man off the ground Moon spat and reached out with a paw trying to claw the mans face. Tian had followed Moon but was overtaken my Tristan almost immediately. She sighed and kept running. She reached them in time to see Tristan send the man flying into a wall the lift him off the ground. As she walked up to them she saw the man, shaking with fear and rage griping the handful of coins he had stolen from her cut purse. "I'd drop those if I were you," Tian said her voice slightly amused. The man just glared at her, "Sooner rather than later would probably be a good idea," she warned. Just then the man yelped in pain and surprise as his hand glowed gold-orange. He dropped the white hot coins on the ground waving her burning hand in the air.

Tristan smiled. " Excellent use of magic, Tian," he said. Turning back to the man he said " If you need money, why didn't you just ask? I was in a generous mood. But now unfortunately you've put me in a bad one." Muttering words in the ancient language, he walked calmly away from the wall grinning. As passersby all around watched the man was thrown upside down and pinned to the wall. " The watchmen should be here soon," he said.

Tian hid her smile behind her hand as she walked past the man after Tristan. "You know," she said to the man, his face was beat-red with rage, "I did warn you to drop the coins." She stooped and scooped up the now normal coins. Moon spat at the thife as she walked after her mistress. "So, where to now?" she asked Tristan as they walked on.

" All this comotion has worked up my appetite," he said,"Let us try some human food." He paused looking around. Seeing a sign pointing to a taver he said, " Let's head over their." Following the sign he set off brushing some dust of his clothes as though nothing had happened.

Tian shook her head smiling, "He's the most interesting person I've ever met," she murmered to Moon who was now back on her shoulder. "So why did you leave your home?" Tian asked Tristan handing him his cloak that she had picked up while running.

Tristan took the cloak. " Thank you," he said. " My parents, were......," his voice trailed off. Taking a deep breath he said again" My parents were killed by Gallabotrix. I joined the Varden in hopes that I would get my vengeance. I didn't expect to get a dragon, but since I did I will try and kill Gallbatorix with everything I have." He blinked trying to hold back tears of anger and hatred.

"I'm sorry," Tian said softly, "I know how you feel, I just want to find my sister...if she's still alive." Moon leaped up from Tian's shoulder to land lightly on Tristan's, she stuck her nose in his ear in a comforting gesture, perring. Tian smiled, anyone could feel at ease around Moon, She had found the little kitten stoed away in one of her packs and had kept her. "How did you find your dragon?" she asked trying to change the subject.

"Huh? Oh." Tristan tried to maintain his concentration. " The Varden. I was given her egg for a little time and when she hatched I was sent to Ellesmera for my training. And now that I have finished and I have no missions I don't know what to do." He petted the cat softly. " What is it's name?"

Tian smiled as she looked up at Moon, she was purring, enjoying the attention. "Her name is Moon, she stowed away in my packs one night when I was in Terim."(I think that's what its called...)Tian pushed open the door of the Tavern, "what were you planing on eating?I've heard that elves are vegetarians. Is that true?"

Tristan stroked the cat gently." Yes, we are, as are all who have trained with us." Tristan spoke loudly over the noise of the crowded tavern," I think I am going to have some soup." He looked around in awe, marveling at the diversity of humans gathered in one place.

Moon purred loudly and rubbed her head on Tristan's face. Tian chuckled as she sat down saying, "Sorry she likes to get in peoples bubble." Tian looked around the tavern to see what other people were having, when she realized that she might offend Tristan by eating meat, so she said,"Soup sounds good at the moment I think I'll have some too."

" You know you can have meat if you want. It won't offend me," he looked around the crowded tavern for an empty table. Finally he spotted one in back corner, slightly away from all the noise; he headed toward it motioning for Tian to follow. When they reached the table he pulled out a chair for her to sit. Then he sat at his own seat, placing Moon on the table gently.

"Oh no soup is fine really," Tian said as she sat down, she wasn't used to having people pulling out her chair for her. Moon walked across the table back to Tian twitching her ears as if to say, "he's ok," and jumped into Tian's lap. "So..." Tian said, her chin in her hands,"whats your dragons name?"

" Her name is Icefyre," he said. " She's about 1 1/2 old." Tristan hailed a nearby waiter. The small boy scurried over, made nervous by Tristan's pointed ears. " Shh. Keep a secret and will reward you well," he said pointing to his ears. " What types of soup do you have? I need something without meat. I am a vegitarian."

Tian's eyes softend as she gave the small boy a reasuring smile. "Vegtiable soup?" the boy said nuviously. "I'll have that," Tian said quickly, nomatter what Tristan said she wan't going to eat meat infront of him. "And a small hunk of meat for my cat please?" Tian asked. The boy nodded and turned to Tristan.

"Same for me please." He smiled at the nervous boy as her ran off. " I wonder why such a small child is working here. Do humans usually have their you work in taverns?" He frowned." In the Elvin world young children are treasured and are held in the highest regard."

Tian smiled scratching Moons ears, "Here its a little different," she said with regret. "Children here just arn't held in the hightest regard," Tian looked after the surving boy frowning. "That boy is most likely a orphen who the tavern people took in for another waiter." Tians eyes were troubled as she stared into space.

Tristan looked shocked. " What?!? Does he at least get wages and an education?" he asked incredulously. The boy returned with the soup. As he placed the soup on the table Tristan grabbed his hand. " Son, what is your name?" " Jonathan," the boy replied feebly. " Well Jonathan," Tristan said kindly " Do you get wages or an education?" The boy shook his head. Tristan nodded and reached into his belt purse and pulled out 5 gold coins. Wordlessly he placed them in the boys hand.

Tian stared at Tristan, her honey-auburn eyes thoughtful and troubled. "So the human race isn't all that extraordinary is it?" Her eyes flicked to the boy, Jonathan, who was still staring astonished at the five gold coins in his hand. Tian pulled two gold coins out of her purse and put them in the boys hand as well. "Probably best if you keep those hidden from you master," she winked, smiling warmly, "take care of yourself kid." She had used the street slang word for child, most people only new the word kid for a baby goat. She herself had practically lived on the streets when she was a child, not that her parents didn't love her they just had work to do.

"Did you just ask call him a kid goat?" Tritan asked confused. " Why would you do that?" He started to sip the soup. He gagged and quickly blew on his now burnt tounge. " Damn it," he swore.
