:: Aja had been sitting in the tavern she had come across in her wandering, all afternoon. The tenders have changed shifts and the newest one eyes her up."Don't ya think you've had enough,Miss?""Enough?" Aja echos him with a half grin, and picks up her glass swirling the liquid in the glass. "How much is enough to drown the pain of a wound so old you no longer remember where it started?" The tender stared at her for a moment. Her cryptic tone causing him to think twice before speaking to her again. As there was no one else in the bar, Aja smiled at him slightly. "Come, I won't bite ya.""I wasn't worried about that, MIss. I worry that you will be cursing me in the morning if I let you drink anymore." The tender broke into an easy smile."I'd be cursing you for not giving me enough." Aja sipped the clear liquid from the glass and looked at him. "Be careful my friend. For Cupid is out there, and he is a wicked, wicked child. He takes aim with his posioned arrows and shoots carelessly. He believes that his pairings are orders from the Gods above, but I believe they originate from Hades itself." Aja took a moment and looked behind her at the door. She turned her amber eyes back onto thebarkeep and smiled half-heartedly. "Love, young lad, is a ruse. A wonderful sounding word. Love." she snorted delicately. "I have a husband, lad. He is a darn good man. But sometimes I fear I am living with a stranger. I see him rarely. We fight horribly at times. Why stay you ask? All for that wonderful word love. And my friends, their marriage in trouble...love has not been kind to them. And what can I do?" She shrugged for emphamsis. "Nadda damnthing. Cupid the winged freak is careless with his new toy." Aja slammed back the contents of the glass and stood up. "I tell you, cupid must be stopped. I should've let Mith kill the little freak." she laughed and made her way to the door. She stopped and looked back at the tender. "Never trust a cherub, my friend." Aja giggled and collasped into a chair. "They are winged and dangerous!" The tender rolled his eyes and started cleaning the bar,leaving Aja to laugh herself silly in the chair by the door.

And who might ye be?" She asks him. I'm Lieutenant Rekhardt Sharke of the 105th Regiment of foot" he tells her as he bows slightly." At your sevice lass." he adds. Well I'm Lady Aja Bird Dragonbane nice to me ye Lieutenant Rekhardt." as shesmiles to him." A lady, Please for give my manors M'lady" he asks of her."Think nae thing of it Lieutenant just dont let it happen again" she replies with a smile." So M'lady Aja what has you into your cups so deeply?"Rekhardt asks. "That is a very long story sir " she answers his as she takes another drink."Well M'lady I have the time if you want to talk about but if you would rather I left you to your drinking................"

Aja grins at the man and then at the bartender."Set em up, Sparkey! It's story time!""As you wish, MIss." The bartender sighs and sets up a round of drinks. Aja pushes the glass over to her companion."A tale of woe it may be, or it may simply be a tale of what is." Aja shrugs with a grin. "I do not know which Lt. But I do know that Cupid needs to be brought down for the freak that he is.""Surely Cupid is nae that bad?""He is my friend. He's careless and uncompassionate for his victims." Aja nods sagely. "I'm sure you have seen many a battle. And it's aftermmath...Cupid may not be bloody, but he sure is destructive." Aja takes a healthy drink of the tequila. "What do you think?"(TBC)
