Valdimar yawned as he slipped his golden bandana down to its usual place over his right eye. He clamored as quietly as possible down the stairs in his black-iron armor, his pack held over his shoulder in one gauntleted hand.
True, he was waking and departing especially late, but he had come in especially late, as well. The difference in time between this world and the last was off by more than a few hours, and it was already dark by the time he had reached the city of Battleon from the portal he had opened. Most likely, his search wouldn't turn up much, and he'd come back to the inn for another night, but he had to be open to the possibility that his search might turn up something. There was always the chance they could still be in this world...or maybe they had left yesterday, last week, last month, last year...
Valdimar set the key to his room on the counter with a smile and a nod. "Your rooms are impressively well kept," he stated rather casually."

*Owen*
"All the more reason to go," Robina insisted. "I think a cuddly little vampragon is the perfect thing to get you over this monster phobia you seem to have!" She looked down the road and happened to see the cloaked figure of Nova approaching.
"Hey, Maxy, somebody's coming! I'll bet they've got money!" She waved her hand up high to get his attention as she called out, "Ho, traveller! Have you a spare gold for the Save the Sunrays Foundation?"
Maxwell got a funny look on his face and leaned over toward the girl, whispering, "Robina, there isn't a Save the Sunrays Foundation ..."
"There is now!" she whispered back with a sly grin and a mischievous wink.
*Vladimar*
"Aye, glad ye enjoyed yerself," the massive innkeep and blacksmith who had introduced himself as Yulgar the night before responded with a cheerful tone and a big grin. "Ye should eat a bit before ye go, though. It may be late in the day, but we got a hot lunch ready to serve, and I did advertise a free breakfast with yer room, if I remember correctly. I don't think, bein' my own boss, I can get in anneh trouble for stretchin' that to a brunch, instead."

Nova turned his hooded face towards the girl who attempted to garner his attention. Save the sunrays foundation? That sounded too... fake... still, it might as well be for the good and let her humor him. He walked up to her, his face mostly hidden behind his hood, however his mask and blindfold were not being worn.
"What is the purpose of the save the Sun Rays foundation?" Nova questioned.

Owen paled at the mention of a vampragon. He had no idea what it was but it sounded mean and dangerous. When Robina called out about her attempt to gather money, Owen frowned. The name sounded very made up...unless there were creatures in this world called SunRays and they were endangered. Owen really didn't know so he remained silent. When Black Nova was close to them, Owen frowned a little more and seemed to try and step back.

The girl was definitely quick on her feet, and her face took on a very solemn expression. "The Sunrays are majestic creatures that float upon sunbeams like mantas through water, but with the encroaching shadows entering their habitats as humans build their interfering structures, their lifecycles are being fatally disrupted. It could even mean mass extermination if something isn't done soon. The funds raised go to the formation of a Sunray Preservation National Park while new ways are pioneered to ensure that these beautiful creatures of light do not fade away and leave our lives forever darkened because we did not care for them when we should have."

"Hmmm." Nova spoke, recalling the girls familiar appearence, he saw her stealing coin from the area, most likely, she was trying to deal the same thing to him. He would not be pulled in. However.
"I'll tell you what." He said pulling out two gold coins that appeared to be of foreing currency. "I'm a bit new to the area, these will be for you if you serve as my guide, and if you do an excellent job, there might be even more." Nova said rather calmly, he avoided the sunray foundation speech, he did not trust her.

She put on a bright smile. "Oh, any way I can help, of course!"
"She sure changes quickly, doesn't she?" Maxwell muttered to Owen, only to be elbowed in the side by the girl.

"Excellent" Nova said tossing the two coins to her. He then spoke. "I plan on taking a leave of this town and plan on heading out for some adventuring, as per say, someone I know might be in danger. However I do not think I will be strong enough to take on the threat on my own, is there perhaps a house of mercenarys in the town? Or I've heard, I could find help in the tower of guardians." Nova questioned...

A grin crossed her face that clearly read, This is even easier than the Sunrays, as she pointed right to her side to the man in red armor.
Maxwell stepped forward, offering his hand. "Maxwell Fueller, Fire Guardian of Battleon, at your service, Mister ... uhm, I don't believe I got your name."

"Nova reached out past his cloak, his gloved hand taking Maxwells. "Well met Maxwell Fueller. For the moment you may reffer to me as Trio Nevar" Nova said, he did not know enough to give out his real name; Black Nova.
"I'm guessing you are one who is going to help me on my little quest?" Nova questioned, the armor and such as well as title was a giveaway, this may have been easier than he thought...

"That's what we do," Maxwell answered in affirmation. "The whole purpose of the foundation of the Guardians is to protect the people of this land in whatever way we can."

"I see, will you be the only one to lend aid then, or are there others?" Nova questioned, Warlic was vague, he did not say how much aid he would need, just that he needed it, it couldnt hurt to get as much help as he could get while he was here...

"That would actually be for the Council to decide," Max explained. "I can bring you before them now. I believe Owen and Robina were going to be doing some pet shopping, anyway."

Nova thought for a moment. He had no proof of the attack, if he went before the council, he would have nothing to present, and be made to look like a fool.
"I actually, do not have any proof on me, would the council rule in favor of lending aid based purely on word of mouth? I'd rather waste as little time as possible..." Nova said, in a somewhat concerned voice.

"They have ways of checking that stuff," the knight reassured him. "In fact, they're probably already expecting us. They're kinda creepy like that."
