Chat in the Tavern

"Asteri!" Allatu yelled seeing Asteri collapsing on the ground. She immediately ran towards him and hugged him, it was nothing serious just a faint from too much effort.

"I can help by throwing a * Cure Wounds * at him," John told him as he walked over to them.

"Yes thanks." she replies.

John's palm glows with a yellow light, his palm was facing Asteri to heal him ... but without effect, as before him with his aura, it seems as if Asteri's body refused help from others.

"I don't understand why this doesn't work either, how is that possible?" John tries to find an answer for this fact.

"It's not a problem, it wasn't serious and then it won't take long to wake up. Thanks anyway." Allatu told him.

"Not at all, but I wanted to ask you how long would it take?" he asks.

"Most likely tomorrow around lunchtime he'll be up, why?" she tells him.

"Here because...".

. . .

Morning in a room of a tavern Asteri begins to wake up from unconsciousness.

"Aaah I still have a bit of a headache ..." Asteri says blinking and putting a hand on his head.

'Thank you that you have only that, you could have been left without a limb or without an organ who knows.' Aurelion tells him in his head.

'Oh please no, I'm still young I want to stay whole for at least a few hundred years.' he replies.

'Anyway, great job yesterday, you chased that being out you still have to collect your wages from the guild.' reminds him of Aurelion.

'Oh true, I was forgetting that.' he says it as he gets out of bed.

'But first I have to talk to you about your body.' Aurelion says.

'What has my body got?' fice Asteri.

'Nothing serious, it's just that I noticed that it is as if he did not accept help from others, nor enhancements or cures, but at the same time the curses or weakenings have much less effect on you ... perhaps with extreme training you can also become immune. '

'Become immune? it would be really comfortable. ' Asteri says cheerfully.

'Did you listen to what I said? I just speculated, and you won't be able to get help from allies or be saved by them. ' reminds him of Aurelion.

'You can't have everything in life.' Asteri shrugs.

The door of the room opens and the one that entered was naturally Allatu, who had taken care of Asteri taking off his clothes by washing him etc ...

"Asteri! You woke up." she says running towards him and hugging him as if she hasn't seen him in a long time.

"Haha we don't talk to each other alone a few hours what all this excitement is about." Asteri said, grabbing her and stroking her head.

"Stupid, I was very worried about you, you know." she says, patting him harmlessly in the chest.

"Okay, sorry my baby I made you worry, but I'm still here." he replies.

"Mh" she nods, resting her head on her chest.

"But we have to move, the reward from the guild is waiting for us ... wait! We haven't taken any evidence, how are we going to do it?" Asteri wonders.

"Eheh don't worry I already have our reward, here it is." she says, showing two gold coins.

"How did you do without evidence?" he asked curiously.

"Thanks to the paladin, he testified for us at the guild, he appears to be a high-ranking in the crusade of light faction." she answers him.

"Excellent then, when I meet him again I will thank him properly." he says.

"Speaking of which, he asked me that when you were back in strength could you meet him in a tavern? He wants to talk to you." she says.

"Oh okay, no problem, I'll get dressed and go." he says.

"I help you." Allatu helps Asteri dress like a devoted wife.

"All right, all right, I'm going love." Asteri says giving Allatu a kiss.

"See you later I'll settle here in the meantime." she greets him.

Asteri leaves the room and then from the tavern to head towards the meeting place given to him by Allatu. It was a tavern similar to the one that housed the two of them, but he didn't pay much attention to it and went inside. There were a lot of people, they chatted, drank, ate and other things with a lot of holidays. Asteri looked around when he tempted the one he was looking for, but remembering well yesterday that paladin was completely wrapped in his gray armor, how could he recognize him?

"You have finally arrived." says a person with a familiar voice next to Asteri.

Asteri frowned and he saw a handsome boy with short blond hair and blue eyes sitting at a table at the corner of the wall, as if he didn't want to be a part of the festival of the moment in this tavern.

"What are you doing standing there? Come and sit here with me." John says pointing to the chair placed in front of him on the other side of the table.

"Oh what a nice secluded place, it seems you want to tell me something very special." Asteri says, approaching the table and sitting down in the chair.

"Nothing secret or particularly dangerous don't worry but first." John says raising his hand to the waiter to ask for two beers, after ordering he turned back to Asteri.

"Let's re-introduce the introductions, my name is John, and I am a champion of the Crusade of Light, and as such I am a fervent believer in the Holy Light." he introduces himself.

'A religious fanatic therefore, are not always good chat partners.' thinks Asteri.

"I am Asteri, an initiate adventurer." Asteri introduces himself.

"A novice adventurer but already so strong, promise well." says John.

"Thanks but you make me blush." Asteri jokes.

"Haha what a particular guy, but let's move on to what I wanted to tell you. I wanted to apologize for yesterday, I was not of much help against that follower of darkness even if it should be my job to take care of it, it was you who did the bulk of the I work, so I apologize. " says John.

'And a serious guy just called me for that?' thinks Asteri.

"You don't have to worry, it was our mission then it is normal that I acted like this, indeed I thank you for your support which was not a little I assure you." Asteri replies.

"So you make me blush." John made his own joke.

'Touché.' Aurelion says in his head.

'You've learned a lot of words from my world, haven't you?' Asteri asks Aurelion.

'Maybe ...' said the innocent.

"If you forgave me then I took a weight off my shoulders. But I also wanted to tell you something else, if I can." says John.

'Ah, I knew there was something else.' Asteri says in his head.

"Sure tell me." Asteri says.

"Wouldn't you like to join our faction?" John proposed to him suddenly.
