Hunter (Jamie)

I walked into the pub after getting out of the monsoon like weather outside, I take off my drenched trench coat and put it on the rack. Feeling the warmth of the Pub I walk over to the bar and set my sling on the seat to the left (my Katana and Crossbow), "What will it be today?" the bartender asked. I "I'll take a root beer...can't drink right now..." I say looking at him a bit of fatigue in my voice, the bartender serves up the soda. Right when I take a drink I sense a presence..."Another Vampire?" I say in a mumble to myself.

I walk into the pub and pull of my wet jacket and sit down next to the man and order a water. "Hi" I say not knowing he was a vampire.

I turned to the right after hearing her voice a little surprised "Hello how are you today?" I say then taking a drink then I take another look at her "You new here in Gallia? I haven't seen you around here before."

"Yeah I am" I say as I get my drink and take a drink. " I'm doing good, the name is Jamie."

I hold out my hand "I'm Quindaro nice to meet you..." I smile "If you don't mind me asking but are you a Vampire by any chance?"

(keep in mind Quin is a seasoned Hunter so he can tell race by presence)

I shake his hand and say "how did you know?"

I chuckle quietly and look her in the eyes, "Because I could sense you and who you were as soon as you walked through that door" I say motioning towards the door. I stare back at the table and said "It's good to have somebody else who is the same race..." I say quietly to myself

"To be honest I was half expecting to be the only one" I say as I take another drink of my drink.

"you sound disappointed..." I take another drink then glance over my shoulder at the door when it opened to see a hooded figure walk in and take a seat. "hmm...Interesting..." I say under my breath. I then pull up a notebook notably smaller than my field journal and flip the page to my Hunting Quota. I then look at Jamie "How are your hunting skills?" I ask her wondering about her abilities.

"I'm not trust me having someone to talk to is great" I say as I finish my water off. "As for my hunting skills I am pretty basic" I order another drink and wait for his response.

I look at her "Basic eh?" I rub the back of my head and take a drink "Well I can teach you about this place and about some of your abilities as a hunter." I say taking out a canteen and setting it out on the bar, "This is the first lesson in ethics" I motion my hand over the canteen "This is a normal field issued canteen....And in it" I open it and it lets out a smell the smell of blood. "I carry a couple of these since I never drink blood from a source unless I were to come near the brink of death."

"Oh I don't drink a lot of blood" I say looking him up and down thinking he is kind of cute. What is he thinking about? I blush from what I just said and think I'm a vampire I should drink blood I mean that is what we do. Maybe I should recover and say human blood or something. "I mean I drink it just from animals" I say convinced it was the best thing to do.

"I'm just using this method because I need blood at certain moments to focus and if there's no one around to supply it" I put the Canteen away and grin "This being Vampire territory this pub supports us by supplying processed blood from the Blood lake a few miles out." I look at her then look at my drink to find its empty, I then call over the Barkeep to refill it.

"Well that is smart I might do that" I say as I take a sip of my drink. "So what do you want to do?"

"I think that we should do a job together sometime when this rain stops." I motion to the window outside my motorcycle is currently covered up by a green tarp to keep it from filling certain areas with water.

"Sounds like fun" I say giggling "maybe they should add a car port to this place."

I chuckle along with her "Yea this place really needs something like that" I then point up "Good thing this Pub also has rooms for rent or else I'd be riding back to my house in this torrential downpour."

"Yeah but I don't have a lot of money just about five I found on the ground when I first started walking around and my jacket is no use it only absorbs the water" I say pointing at my jacket and pulling the little amount of money I have from my pocket.

I smiled at her "Your in luck" I call over the Barkeep who doubles as an Inkeep I get two rooms for the night for a low fee. "Don't worry about paying me back or anything I actually have a lot of money saved up because of jobs I do." I smile brightly at her then take a drink.

I smile back at him and say "thank you but I could have found a way to pay for a room." I put my drink down and look deeply into it.

I smile at her brightly "I don't want you to have to scrape up cash from people who you don't know and I'll gladly help out a friend in need of a room" I take a long swig of my root beer and felt around in my vest pocket to reveal a pocket watch that had a half burnt picture of my family in it. "I try to help everyone I meet here in Gallia...especially those of the same race as I." I say looking down at the pocket watch "I never want to see anyone to feel as I did 10 years ago..." my voice trailed off my face still held a small smile as I placed the watch on the counter.

"So can you help me with something" I ask looking at the watch and take a drink of my water.

I then snap out of the little delirium at the question "Hmm? What can I help you with?"

"I am looking for my brother" I say blushing with embarrassment from snapping him out of the delirium.

I look at her with curiosity "Who might he be?"
