Seeing Ioannes was a pleasant surprise for Aeria since she’d last seen him before all of the insanity of the Black Portal. It was heartening that he’d managed to survive everything that had been thrown at him. It also seemed as though he was about to be overwhelmed by a flirty Aelflead. Seeing the redhead in that state was bizarre for her. It had never occurred to her that the warrior woman could be anything other than violent. Aeria decide to try and lower the tension level. She also concluded that perhaps it was time he knew her real name.
After pushing off from the counter, Aeria sauntered over to Ioannes with her drink and after excusing herself (so she didn’t get punched by Aelf) she stuck her hand out and grinned. “Nice to see you Ioannes! By the way, the name’s really Aeria. I was wanted by the Conexus before all of this. Now I’m not so I figure you deserve my real name. Sorry to cut in, Aelflead, I just wanted to say hi to Ioannes!”

While Diamantus waited for Deni to slug the brandy down his throat, she gave a nod to Dante and shouted to draw him over. “Oy! Kinchaa Man! Remember me?!”
As her fellow velen finished his tot of brandy, Diamantus took up the bottle and slugged some down before she nodded at Deni. “Pelagia’s home alright. I know Vallo Caerulo, I used’ta spend some time down there. Nice place!”
Handing the bottle back to Deni, her sharp grin went from her mouth to her eyes, warming them. “Let’s refresh yer memory ‘bout exactly how a proper Pelagian drinks!”
