       Rayner Brandt
       Location: Marieve, Grand Comuna, Temple of Torgar
       Accompanying: Duuthra-Keth Gastelle, Knight Selene Gaspar
       Rayner brushed some sweat from his brow, eyeing up Gastelle who
       seemed to still be grinning. At least the man was having a good
       time...And hell the man’s smile was infectious. It made Rayner’s
       own lips tug into a more comfortable smile, eyes wrinkling at
       the sides in humor. He was going to tease the man about him not
       disagreeing with Selene outright, but Rayner noticed his
       expression faded from humor to something a bit more contained.
       It caused Rayner’s brows to knit in confusion, until he glanced
       ahead of them. A woman drew closer, one he only recognized when
       Selene dropped into a half bow. “Captain d’Emarqus. I’m sorry I
       didn’t realize you would be here. Would have invited you to
       watch.” She said in greeting, the chipperness still in her tone.
       The title made Rayner quickly drop in a half bow, since the
       woman was a commanding officer above him. Hell she even spared
       him a compliment. That was a good thing right?
       “Thank you, Captain. Gastelle here gave me a hell of a time
       earning it.” He said, gesturing to the Keth so that he could
       introduce himself if he pleased. Honestly, Rayner was confused
       why Gastelle seemed so off. Perhaps he could ask later if that
       didn’t already come to light in this conversation.

       Rayner Brandt
       Location: Marieve, Grand Comuna, Temple of Torgar
       Accompanying: Duuthra-Keth Gastelle, Knight Selene Gaspar,
       Knight Captain Helena Terissa d’Emarqus
       Rayner watched the exchange closely, working to hide his
       surprise at the fact that Helena knew Gastelle. How exactly was
       that possible? Helena was a knight of enviable skill and
       powerful allies in Alessandria. She served a Tesith for Amon’s
       sake. How had her and Gastelle—well Duuthra as she called
       him—ever mingled or evening met? Perhaps she was an old ally,
       friend, lover? He looked the man over and wondered if he was
       someone that Helena would fall for. Perhaps. Rayner could
       understand why if she had. The blunt and confident man was oddly
       charming...
       He shook the thought off and gave Helena’s new string of
       compliments, and even a comment about telling his captain, a
       small smile. Perhaps it was a bit of boyish excitement at being
       told by a beautiful Captain you were good that gave him a boost
       straight to the ego. Rayner was distracted however by Gastelle
       putting an arm around his neck. Odd choice but Rayner allowed it
       with a raise of his brow. The closeness oddly brought some heat
       to his cheeks and he didn’t exactly shove Gastelle away like he
       normally would have. Odd... “Th-thank you.” He glanced around
       Selene, who looked like she might pout and being taken away from
       her fun.
       “Behave Sir Gaspar.” He called to her, making Selene spare him
       the finger over her shoulder as she hurried to catch up to
       Helena.
       As the two left, Rayner shrugged off Gastelle’s arm, a
       questioning look on his face. “Alright, if you’re still in for a
       drink, I don’t mind helping you find some entertainment.” He
       told Duuthra, before a wry smile pulled at his lips. “And maybe
       you can tell me how in all of Alessandria you know legendary
       Knight Captain Helena d’Emarqus. If it’s a story worth
       repeating. Other wise, there are better things to talk about
       right?” He said before he looked down at himself covered in dust
       and some of that off looking potion on the Keth’s clothes. “Like
       perhaps where to meet up later after I don’t look like I was on
       the losing end of a fight and you don’t smell like overly priced
       spiked potions.” He was joking of course, trying to take the
       edge off of whatever was bothering Gastelle about Helena.

       Rayner Brandt
       Location: Upper Vilvella, unknown bar location lol
       Company: Gastelle
       The change that came over Gastelle was noticeable around Helena,
       enough so that it puzzled Rayner on the way back to his home.
       Well it shouldn’t have, but it did. It wasn’t any of his
       business who the Keth chose to be around, especially because it
       seemed Helena held him in a high regard. That meant associating
       with him wouldn’t wind him up in trouble—well too much trouble.
       He was sure by tomorrow he would have an earful to listen to
       from Lord Myathyra after ditching his post and surely his Knight
       Captain would have some words to say. Rayner was sure he would
       be put on piss poor patrol route for this but—hey—he had dealt
       with worse. And besides he got decent company out of it.
       Gastelle was already quickly establishing himself as someone
       Rayner didn’t really mind all that much. In fact, he rather
       liked the Elvi male. He was different than the Alessandrian
       types he dealt with and forced Rayner out of his shell a bit. It
       was nice to feel like he didn’t have think about etiquette or
       what was in fashion to state. Perhaps, Rayner just needed to let
       things go and just enjoy himself. And perhaps he could figure
       out why the Elvi was able to fluster him...
       When he was back into his home, he was surprised to find a note
       on the floor, having been slipped under his door. The blue,
       floral smelling parchment immediately clued him in on exactly
       who sent it, if the scrawling script on the face didn't give it
       away first.
       'Mon doux Lion,
       Je vous écris pour vous informer que j'ai approfondi la
       question. J'ai peur que mes contacts n'aient trouvé de piste sur
       votre sœur depuis des mois. Toutes mes excuses, mais je dois
       retirer mes demandes de renseignements avant que les Quills ne
       soient suspects ...
       P.S.
       Mes conversations intimes me manquent ... Si jamais vous les
       manquez aussi, vous savez où me trouver.
       Avec amour,
       Madame C'
       Rayner's face fell at the letter, not realizing it had lit up at
       the chance that maybe Calliope had found something more on
       Wynry. It had been months since he left Alessandria to seek her
       out in Uleplex, only to return with his uncle empty handed. To
       hear also a Quill couldn't find her was concerning. But he held
       out that hope that she was out there...somewhere...It was the
       only reason he agreed to start taking on lovers and playing
       these games in Alessandria nobility. Lady Calliope was his
       first, as she had seen his potential at the tourney and had
       offered to help. Not out of the kindness of her own heart, but
       because she felt he had something he could offer her. Sex and
       information on the Truce Knights. He knew she had dealings in
       the underworlds of Alessandria, but he stayed out of those
       pieces as it was messy. Not that sleeping around with married
       women or their daughters for nice things and favors made him any
       better than Calliope honestly...
       Rayner pushed away the thoughts and went to bathe and look
       somewhat decent. He even spotted the bruising on his body from
       that fight, regarding it with some impress. He actually won a
       fight with a Keth and now was going to grab a drink with
       him...odd...
       ~~~
       Rayner found his way to the bar easily enough since Upper
       Vilvella had many, but only a few that were worth the coin to
       drink at. He wasn't surprised Gastelle sniffed this one out,
       even if it wasn't one that the Knights usually chose. This one
       was a bit more run down but had a charm for being crowded and
       rowdy.
       Rayner easily found Gastelle among the entering patrons as he
       stood out in a way. "Half expected you to be into a cup by now."
       He told the man since he knew he took a while. He had to put
       himself back in order after that letter and he wasn't about to
       bring sour emotion to something fun. "Apologies that took so
       long. I had to handle a few things. Including a missive from my
       Captain to see him in his office tomorrow. So, if I'm getting in
       trouble tomorrow might as well enjoy tonight, right?"
       [spoiler] " My sweet Lion,
       I am writing to inform you I have looked into the matter
       further. I'm afraid my contacts have not found a lead on your
       sister in months. Apologies, but I must withdraw my inquiries
       before the Quills are suspicious...
       P.S.
       I do miss our intimate conversations...Should you ever miss them
       too you know where to find me.
       Lovingly,
       Madame C[/spoiler]

       Rayner Brandt
       Location: Alessandria, Lower Vilvella: Gallowed Dingus.
       Company: Duuthra-Keth Gastelle, Buddy Teesithik, Buddy Hugh,
       Bar-maiden Angela
       Rayner gave Gastelle a grin when he said he started drinking
       already. Of course he did and he understood. Rayner could put
       away quite a bit himself, since he grew up around warriors and
       Germund. He was ready for tonight and needed some stress relief,
       even if he regarded Gastelle as an unknown. The question of
       Miathyra causing him issue made Rayner give a cluck of
       annoyance. "Nah, my captain no doubt wants to scold me for not
       going back for more misery. But enough about Lord Fat *ss.
       Rather not think about him while I'm trying to have a good
       time." He said as he followed Gastelle into the tavern.
       It was easy to spot who Gastelle's friends were based on how
       loud one got in greeting. Rayner gave the jovial man a grin,
       since he liked people with a lot of personality to give. Those
       were the type men he was used to being around in the Nomadic
       Warrior's Guild. He gave a raise of his brow when the greeting
       started with accusing Gastelle of sleeping with Rayner,
       something that should have thrown Rayner off. But after getting
       to know Gastelle even slightly, he had come to find he was a
       sexual man that slept with anyone that caught his interest.
       Besides, it was admittedly odd for a Truce Knight to be hanging
       around some random man. No harm was meant by it and so Rayner
       shook off the comment, since Gastelle got a playful shot in for
       them poking fun at him.
       Rayner returned to man's smile and gave him a strong shake back.
       "Rayner. Good to meet you Hugh." He said, before looking to the
       reptilian man there that didn't introduce himself. Rayner was
       decent at reading a room and sensed this man was less than
       comfortable with his presence. So Rayner left him be and instead
       asked Hugh a bit more about himself. Of course the man was happy
       to oblige and bragged about his adventures, some stories perhaps
       more outlandish than the others, but Rayner wasn't about to call
       him on it. It was good to just hear about exploits outside of
       someone just bragging about their wealth and petty fights like
       he heard with knights.
       Hugh's story about a run in with some creature out in the wilds
       was interrupted by Angela bringing the cups to the table,
       drawing Rayner's attention to the shapely woman. He spared her a
       chuckle at the comment to tip nicely. Lucky for her he always
       did. When asked if he was doing security, Rayner's brow quirked.
       "No ma'am, once that armor comes off I'm off duty. Not here to
       cause anyone trouble." He said with a look passed to Teesithik
       since he wanted the man to relax. He didn't care what the man
       was involved with and wouldn't be the one to get into it
       tonight. He hated to be the wet blanket on other's fun. He left
       the man alone and instead turned to his drink. "Well, my word is
       all I can offer. I'm just here to enjoy a drink with decent
       company." He added before he spared Gastelle a playful smirk.
       "And to get to know the Keth that I keep running into."

       Company: Duuthra-Keth Gastelle, Buddy Teesithik, Buddy Hugh,
       Bar-maiden Angela
       Rayner gave Angela's teasing a laugh since he knew it sounded
       strange and he knew he would catch flack for his job here.
       "Something tells me i should be grateful to have her as back
       up." He chuckled as he went back to his drink, pausing only when
       Gastelle went on to console his Kvekkaran friend. Rayner about
       choked on his own drink at the mention of a budding romance
       between the two. Rayner shot Gastelle a narrow eyed look,
       shaking his head. "Romance? You call kicking me around in a
       sparring ring and getting me in trouble with Elvi nobility
       romance? Do all your conquests swoon at that treatment? Not sure
       if I should be shocked or offended." He said before taking
       Teesithik's hand with a firm shake.
       "Thanks for putting up with me." He was cut off by Hugh cutting
       in with a title, one that made Rayner roll his eyes skyward.
       That title was only good for tournaments, clout, and skirt
       chasing. None of that was happening here so he didn't give a
       rat's *ss what they called him. Honestly, they all were
       hilarious and loud, something that he wasn't used to but finding
       himself enjoying. Tonight wasn't going to be a bust after all.
       Rayner shouldn't have been surprised that Gastelle found some
       way to work in a comment about a d*ck. Of course Gastelle was
       thinking about d*ck and had been most of the day it seemed with
       his shameless flirting. Rayner wished he could understand why
       the man was persistent even though Rayner showed no interest in
       men or him for that matter. Sure, Gastelle was attractive and
       his confidence was contagious. But that didn't mean Rayner
       wanted to screw around with him. Surely screwing around with a
       lizard man wasn't his preference either. It sent a bit of
       redness to Rayner's cheeks that his mind went there, but
       thankfully Hugh cut in with a toast. Rayner joined in the
       revelrous cheer and finished his own drink before Angela brought
       another by.
       Thankfully, Rayner's tolerance was better because of his time
       with Germund. The man drank like a fish and often would make
       Rayner drink to train himself up for situations that called for
       him to have a level head. He pulled him out of enough drunken
       brawls to know Rayner was best buzzed but not gone.
       "Now how do you all know each other? From Iaquosia or here in
       Alessandria?" He asked since they all seemed like a good fit for
       each other but also a strange mix.

       Bar-maiden Angela
       Rayner coughed on his subsequent drink when Hugh stated that
       they met because Gastelle tried to screw him. "Why am I not
       surprised?" Rayner said more to himself, eyes narrowing in
       Gastelle's direction. He really did f*ck anything that walked
       didn't he? Rayner ran his finger along the the edge of his mug,
       eyeing up the Elvi male. Now just how did he live his life like
       that? Rayner was a serial romantic himself but never
       experimented with men. It just wasn't a line he ever crossed. He
       wasn't even sure how that all would work, considering he just
       didn't see men in that way.
       He gave a snicker at their dynamic, finding it like siblings and
       quite funny. Rayner rather admired how easily Gastelle seemed to
       navigate the talk and pull something out of his friends, whether
       good or bad. He was able to get Teesithik to calm down and
       Hugh...well Hugh was a force on his own. Perhaps that was just
       the Elvi in him, but Rayner found it positive about the man that
       was even able to get under Rayner's skin. He caught himself
       staring when Hugh spoke up and asked how he met Gastelle.
       "Well he stuck his neck out for my ass, instead of smacked it.
       Some jack*sses were messing with my diplomat assignment and I
       and he happened to stumble along. The rest just led to us
       sparring and now grabbing a drink with you lot. Of course, with
       a few more innuendos and dick jokes sprinkled in there." He said
       before he gave Gastelle a smirk. "Do you meet everyone in your
       life by trying to sleep with them?" He asked, wondering if the
       man was just insatiable...

       Bar-maiden Angela
       Rayner gave a chuckle when Hugh stated that Rayner hadn't seen
       the horny side of Gastelle. Surely, that had to be correct if
       Hugh was claiming Gastelle was perhaps more persistent than he
       had been. Well, either way, Rayner didn't mind the man and found
       him good company. That was clear by the people he collected
       around him. "Eh, is that so? Either way he's been a good time.
       Not bad for a stranger. Has his own charms." He spared Gastelle
       a half smile before finishing his drink. His brow quirked when
       Gastelle asked how many men were attacking them and that made
       him give a hum of thought. "Maybe 6 left after I dealt with a
       few." He joked some to brag a bit though he truly didn't
       remember the number himself as he was in fight mode with his
       adrenaline running high. The most vivid memory of that night was
       the Elvi male that swooped in to help when he was sure he was
       going to get his ass handed to him. "I just remember they
       smelled like piss. Or maybe that was Myathria after they showed
       up." He snickered before giving a shrug. "We made a pretty
       decent team taking them out. I was surprised he was able to
       function while that drunk. You should have seen him actually--"
       Rayner went into talking about the fight, not really paying
       attention to how much he was drinking as the night progressed.
       Of course the topics changed and situations changed and soon
       Rayner was feeling the alcohol in his system. It was obvious he
       was starting to come out of his straight laced shell. He gave
       Gastelle a bit of a rosy eyed smile, since he was in a good mood
       himself and he was the one he was most familiar with. "So why
       are you in Alessandria? Surely after all the places you've been
       this is the most boring? Surely this isn't a venture for
       pleasure."

       Company: Duuthra-Keth Gastelle, Buddy Teesithik, Buddy Hugh,
       Bar-maiden Angela--> Duuthra-Keth Gastelle
       Rayner had a good time with the men even if he was more than two
       sheets to the wind himself and wobbled wen he stood. His head
       swam and vision blurred slightly as he stood, but he steadied
       himself with a firm grip on the chair. He had to make it home
       and he was sure he was going to crash for the night. Even if he
       was currently in that fun stage of being drunk where everything
       felt awesome and nothing bothered him. He gave a grunt of
       agreement when Gastelle mentioned he had too much and Ryaner
       knew the same. But that didn't break down his euphoric mood or
       the way he laughed all too easily at himself for stumbling over
       the door frame.
       "Amon preserve me, I don't think I've been this hammered in a
       while. At least not walking myself home. It was fun though. Your
       buddied are fun!" He chucked, his words slurred and the
       attention to his surroundings done. He was rather impressed the
       guy was still coherent and standing, since he drank a bit more
       than Rayner and he personally felt like he crossed over that
       line of stability.
       The Keth had shut his eyes, looking to be steadying himself
       which was a rather funny sight. Why Rayner couldn't tell since
       everything seemed funny.
       "Honestly, I'm surprised you're still on your feet and not
       facedown like Hugh." He said before he gave a little sigh,
       despite the smell coming from the alley that made his nose want
       to curl. It had been a while since Ryaner had felt this stress
       free in the last few months, what with work and dealing with
       Myathria's bullsh*t. He hadn't had a time to jsut relax and be
       himself around others without the veil of Alessandria's filter.
       It was exhausting to keep up masks every day and honestly he
       sometimes wondered if Wynry would even recognize the person he
       was now who felt leagues away from the Rayner that left her all
       those years ago...and there he was...mucking up his drunk stupor
       with sad thoughts that just stressed him out more...He gave a
       shake of his head, only to realize he caused the world to blur
       at the action. To keep from falling over, he leaned against the
       wall near Gastelle as he gathered himself for this fun walk home
       that would probably end with him falling on his ass trying to
       get up the stairs to his place. "If these are your vacations I
       envy them actually. Well there's a bit more than that to envy
       like...Well, maybe it's an Elvi thing. Bastards seem to have
       quite the luck." He said humming to himself about a thought he
       had that he shouldn't have but at the moment he was too drunk to
       care. Most Elvi did have a charm to them, life seemed easy to
       them, they stayed youthful so long, had time to become experts
       at things, and looked so damn pretty. It wasn't hard to see that
       in Gastelle, even if Ryaner found he didn't hate the man for it
       like he did others like him. He instead found it...his mind
       blanked when warmth rushed his face from somewhere in his
       subconscious that realized he was giving this man too much
       thought.

       The humility of Gastelle's response drew a quick smirk from
       Rayner who hadn't expected to see that in the man. But the
       change was interesting, especially that smile that came to his
       features. It was odd, but Rayner felt happy he had helped the
       man and found it rather disarming. Was that wrong of him to
       notice? Perhaps, but he couldn't find himself caring much with
       how warm and relaxed he felt. He found himself glancing at his
       lips briefly, noting how they moved as he spoke, maintaining
       this perfect shape. A brief curiosity passed his thoughts of how
       warm those lips might feel, or if they were soft or chapped. He
       was too drunk to question that line of thinking, but he wasn't
       drunk enough to not turn a bit pink at his own thinking. Surely
       it was because it had been a while since he last had someone he
       slept with. Amon above, had it really been that long?
       Rayner gave chuckle at Gastelle's casual flirting over being
       drunk and for the taking. "So you're saying I have to get you
       plastered to make a pass at you? Then I must be doing something
       wrong." He said in a laughing tone, edging on flirtation. He
       watched as Gastelle slipped down into a sit and gave the man a
       raise of his brow. He was going to get stuck like that if he did
       that. The question about friends drew a raise of the brow from
       Rayner. "What I'm not that much of a stiff to not have a few
       people I like being around. Yeah I've got some friends in this
       city and really all over the place, some in the Knights like
       Selene and Kemper, some at the College that I grew up in, and
       even a warrior and a smith. Trust me, Asena Valda and Damon Roux
       would give Selene a run for her money." He said before giving a
       shrug. "It's been nice finding people in the Truce Knights that
       aren't put off by you using Magis. To be honest I hate it myself
       but it's a part of me that I can't really change. Also the title
       of Spelltrucian kind of forces you to be separate from the
       others." He then turned his attention to Gastelle and offered
       him a hand up. "If you sit down it's going to be harder to get
       up with your head spinning like that." He said, offering the
       help up even if he was in Gastelle's space. The Elvi man smelled
       nice for some reason, even past the smell of alcohol on him...

       The compliment made Rayner's heart leap in his chest for some
       reason, but he shook it off and continued to make sure the man
       was okay. Over all, Rayner was enjoying just talking to the man
       and he knew that perhaps he enjoyed the conversation a bit too
       much. But at the moment, he wasn't thinking about the confusing
       feelings that brought up. The question about Valda running made
       him nod since she was in fact running. She had come to him about
       a month ago to visit and asked about him joining her campaign as
       a guard. However, he turned her down for obvious reasons. Asena
       was one of his best friends, but he wasn't one for politics. And
       picking sides when you were already distrusted by the political
       factions here for openly using Magis would only serve to hurt
       the woman. Besides, he would still be loyal to her once she
       inevitably won the seat on the Truce.
       The joke about bedding Asena made Rayner genuinely laugh since
       at one point that had been a goal. A goal that failed miserably
       when her aunt's plans of settling her down with a warrior type
       had been sabotaged by Rayner's lack of interest in commitment
       and Damon Roux. There wasn't much that Rayner could or wanted to
       do to get in the way of that. Call him a sap, but that smith boy
       got into his head and actually made Rayner root for him. He
       wasn't half bad and so he could respect not sleeping with at
       least one of Liphilius's ladies. "Yeah she's running, but the
       most she wanted out of me was protection and someone that won't
       put up with her bullsh*t. Not that I didn't try to have some fun
       with the lady. But I decided to step away after I met my
       competition. She loves him and so I bowed out. Damon isn't a bad
       guy and I think messing around with her would be like punching a
       puppy. Besides, you don't put your d*ck in any woman that can
       literally turn into a human torch." He said before he snorted at
       the comment of his dick freezing someone. Now that would be a
       terrifying sight to see. "You do realize that's not how it
       works. I don't personally become cold, so my d*ck isn't the
       problem. I can manifest ice through exposed water particles. So
       lakes, rain, sweat..." He gave him a humored narrow of his eyes.
       "And I'll have you know there are a few highborn ladies in the
       city that love ice play. Don't knock it till you've had it done
       right." He chuckled since he remembered that had earned him
       quite a bit of favor in getting the information he needed. The
       memories made a strange association to this moment with Gastelle
       and Rayner felt an odd forming....was that attraction to the man
       before him? The thought was alarming at first, but it eased as
       the silence continued and Rayner realized it didn't bother him
       all that much...it was strange...
       "You're a funny one." He finally said, eyes glinting with
       flirtatious humor. "One minute you're calling me pretty,
       commenting on my sword, and using interesting tactics to get out
       of a pin while sparring. But then you're trying to convince me
       to screw around with someone else. Odd..." He said before he
       shrugged and let that one sit since he was sure Gastelle would
       have something to say back. "You're lucky you're attractive or
       people would get confused by your intentions." The thought
       slipped his control, but Rayner didn't seem to notice in his own
       drunk mind.
