Denak quietly stepped into the bar after overhearing talk about it from some of his friends, and just out of simple curiosity. On his way, he frowned a little at all the clone soldiers around without their helmets, all of them indistinguishable, at least there was personalized vocal chords to differentiate between people. He was in his leisure clone, sporting a black vest with a black shirt underneath, black pants and brown boots, his face sporting a burn mark on his right cheek while sliding over to the bar counter, taking seat on one of the stools.
"Do you serve Chai?" He asks the bartender, resting his arms crossed on top of the counter, looking around the establishment to see who was present.

Denak eyed Mistaahh and the woman he was flirting curiously, bowing his head for him in return before his attention was taken by Rikia answering his question.
"You want the story of how I found out and got into this place? It's not really interesting at all, I'd rather pay." He notes, his expression remaining calm, but curious, observing the surroundings and the people inside the bar. "The bar looks quite, interesting." He also adds, taking special note of the three doors on the side. |

Was usually reserved when around strangers, but with Steady continuing to smile at him, he couldn't help a small smile either, although he perked his eyebrow slightly when he served a tea from a bottle, quickly taking a hold of the mug and smelling the liquid. After a few moments of examination, he took a small sip of it, feeling the different spices on his tongue before swallowing it. It was first time he got tea from a bottle, but at least it was well made.
"It is appreciated, although technically we're not immortal in the truest sense." He notes, starting to search for something from his pocket, eventually pulling out a small bag, which held dry leaves of some kind. "And the drink is good, thank you." He also adds, taking a few of the leaves from the bag, crushing and mincing them in his palm before sprinkling it into the drink, slipping the bag back into his pocket. |

"i like a man who is honest with himself and a philosopher too this is good i like people with character too, you must forgive i love seeing new people and learning about their ways comes with growing up on a ship never be afraid to tell me to stick it" steady eyes the man preparing his drink Denak nods politely, continuing to sip at his tea, sighing happily as the spicy liquid burned a little on his tongue and in his throat. "Well, I mostly live in my mercenary quarters reading books when not doing contracts, I overheard some talk of this place in comms, so the curiosity got the best of me." He explains, cracking his neck and stretching out.
steady rikia wrote:"interesting if you like you drink made a certain way be sure to teach or tell the girls" steady makes a mental note to look into his new customers drink "Oh, the leaves are just a personal addition of mine. They're masala leaves, gives the tea a slightly bitter taste which I've grown to like." He explains, glancing down at his pocket briefly.
steady rikia wrote:"for the sake of conversation if you want it, at the moment of death we move to our new bodys but if our mind has nobody to go to what happens to it are we aware that we are trapped in the either does our soul drift about, or as the foolish amarr would have us believe do we face our final judgement" steadys voice while warm and smiling was clearly taking on more serious and thoughtful tone hoping his new guest might like the topic. "Well, I don't know, no one knows really, and I think it's better that way. Despite what the Amarr claim, I don't think their faith isn't the only true one, there are many paths that lead to the top of the mountain.
That said, personally, I believe in rebirth. When a person's body dies, their mind carries on into a new life, where you learn from your past life's mistakes and successes, as a clone soldier, I am an extension of that faith. Perhaps when I retire I'll devote myself to becoming an Idama." Denak pondered, looking quite thoughtful while glancing at his tea.
Aria Gomes wrote:"Hey," Aria smiles softly and put a hand out next to the newcomer, "I'm Aria. What's your name?" Denak looks at the hand offered and then at Aria, tilting his head slightly. He did accept the hand though, shaking it firmly and bowing his head deeply. "Denak, nice to meet you Aria." |

Aria Gomes wrote:"Nice to meet you as well." She flashes a smile towards Denak. "So what are some of your favorite kind of teas? I'm a tea fan as well but I mainly only drink it in my quarters." Denak continues sipping at his own tea, cracking his neck slightly and breathing deeply as the spicy liquid had a lovely burn on his tongue. "I mostly drink Chai, I like it the most, and generally spiced teas are my favorite." he explains, returning the smile to Aria briefly before glancing at his mug. "However, after my recent visit to the I-RED lounge, I've grown to like the Iyen-Oursta red tea, tasted quite lovely." he adds, while also giving a wave to Mistaahh again after noticing him return. |

Aria Gomes wrote:"Chai is amazing but sometimes it's hard to get one made just right. Before becoming a merc, I used to only drink Gallente berry tea and of course my tribe's," She raises her fingers and makes a form like quotations,"'medicinal' tea. But as of recently, I've fell in love with Intaki tea and Jin Mei's white and blue teas." "Berry teas are too sweet for me, I've always grown with spiced teas, everything else is usually too mild for me." Denak explains, finishing the rest of his tea and placing the mug on the counter. "And most Chayam I've been served have usually been good." |

Aria Gomes wrote:"Yeah sometimes they can be too sweet," Aria chuckles, "But I usually drink them without honey or a small teaspoon. I'd definitely have to try some other spiced teas though. Any recommendations?" "First thing that comes up to my mind is Nilgiri Chai, has quite a dark and strong flavor to it. Or if you're feeling really bold, try drinking kresh tea." He also adds, finally noticing rikia enter the bar, bowing his head to him in greeting and curiously glancing at Mistahh. |

Aria Gomes wrote:"I'll definitely be on the look out for those. Thanks Denak!" Denak chuckles a little and nods, quietly gesturing Steady to get him another Chai. "Kresh is poisonous to everyone not Caldari." He notes briefly, while bowing his head for Aria as she stood up and took her leave. "Prataya yavati ulnebyad." |

Mistaahh Juvenile wrote:"I'll bet 500 Kreds I can drink one without hrowing up." "A pointless bet, you'll not throw up at all, it'll paralyze your body in one cup and stop your heart in two.." Denak explains to Mistaahh, tapping his fingers against the bar.
"However, if you really want to make bets, try drinking tea made from dadaayaa leaves, which would probably be illegal here, as would kresh tea too." He adds |

Denak rolls his eyes, starting to sip at his tea again after another one was delivered. "Your choice if you want to acquire narcotics into this bar, I'll not bet in any case." |

Denak stepped back into bar just in time to notice Rikia's fight with the Caldari soldier, perking up his eyebrow in curiosity as the Caldari clone screamed in pain after the fight. He didn't really seem phased by the sight, simply sliding himself back to the bar, wearing the same outfit as before. As usual, he gave a nod to everyone present in the bar as a greeting, focusing his attention to Rikia.
"Nice moves." He simply comments, setting his arms on the counter and calling out one of the barmaids. "Chai please." |

Aria Gomes wrote:"Hey Denak," Aria says with a small wave, "How's it going?" She grabs her drink and finishes the last bit of it before leaning forward with her elbows on the counter's edge. Denak bows his head respectfully to Aria, followed by another one to the barmaid after his Chai was delivered, taking a deep, satisfactory breath in as he took the first sip. "I manage, been doing contracts and that's about it. And you?" |

Aria Gomes wrote:With a nod, Aria slips her hands into her leather jacket pockets. "I've been okay. I'm going to order my new electronics for my suit today. But besides that, I visited my family and friends back in Coricia. My older sister is pregnant," Aria's eyes light up with excitement as a large grin appears on her face, "so I can't wait to become an aunt. I also," She pauses to think while gnawing at hee bottom lip, "tried to talk to my father as per my mom's request, but the two of us can never see eye to eye. We never got along while I lived there and probably never will." Denak smiles a little and nods, glancing at his tea before taking another sip. "Congratulations, I hope the child will be healthy." He wishes, raising his cup in a toast.
Aria Gomes wrote:Coughing into her hand, she slouched slightly into the chair. "I also went to visit my ex girlfriend's parents and her grave. Talk with her for a little bit. I don't get a response but it feels good to say all the things I," Stopping to wipe a few tears away and clear her throat since it was starting to feel extremely dry. With a deep breath, she looked down at her sneakers, "wish I could say and would say if she was still here." Denak blinks a little at Aria's words, letting out a quiet condolances for her and looking back at his cup. He kept his gaze on the counter for a while, being a little doubtful before speaking up again: "Well, this may not sound much comforting, but there's a saying in Intaki, alabhata olloran kastamah wakata -- You only lose what you cling to. I'm sorry for your loss, but eventually, you'll have to move on." |

Denak simply nods in agreement to Aria's rambling, fiddling with the base of his mug a bit before downing the rest of his tea in a big gulp. The sense of wandering without purpose was all too familiar for him.
But Denak was more than willing to change the subject to something more cheerful, he straightened himself a bit and placed the empty cup back on the counter. Tilting his head slightly at her explanation, his burnt cheek highlighted slightly from the light. "Well, can't say I don't know the feel. I was the only child in the family and I was often rebellious of all the Intaki ideals, so I ended up running away as a teenager and never return." Tapping the bar a little, he looked at his face in the mirror nearby. "They've probably moved on in life already, never saw them again." |

Aria Gomes wrote:"You ever think they miss you?" She asked quietly. Denak gazed right into Aria's eyes, with an expression that seemed very cold and emotionless. "My mother was reborn long ago and my father was an Idama, he broke the cycle." He explains, before looking at the wall ahead. "And the same proverb works here, alabhata olloran kastamah wakata." He adds, but his expression seemed to falter just a bit, near wordlessly muttering out three words: "Prataya yavati, jaater." |

Denak instantly reacted upon feeling something squeeze on his shoulder, his training and years of conditioning kicking in. Before he even realized it himself, he grabbed on Aria's hand, flipping himself off his stool and twisting her arm behind her back and pinning her head down on the counter, ready to snap her neck. All done in a swift split second maneuver, executed with brutal efficiency.
As soon as he performed it, he realized to let go of her, looking shocked, and embarrassed at his action. A new cup of Chai still seemed to be served for him, deciding to quietly slip back onto a stool, one row away from Aria. "........my, sincerest, apologies. That will never happen again." |

Denak opted to not reply to Xander for the time being, his eyes focused intently on the cup of Chai he had, never breaking eye contact from it, and squeezing the cup quite hard. |

Denak remained silent, quickly drinking the rest of his tea in a few quick sips, looking at nothing except the cup he was holding. Upon setting it down, the metal was slightly bent from the hard squeeze, looking at Aria as Rikia went over and treated her, at least he didn't seem to cause any permanent injury. His gaze sweeped over the bar, his eyes meeting each of the patrons staring at him, giving all of them a look that it was better if he was left alone. His gaze lingered on Mistaahh for a few moments longer, seemingly returning the deathly stare right back.
After paying the ISK for his drinks and quite a bit of extra for property damage and causing trouble, he stood up from his stool, only to walk to the very far end of the bar, away from everyone. In there, he rested his elbows on the counter, crossing his legs on the stool he was sitting and leaning his head against his hands, closing his eyes and letting out a heavy sigh.
((I may have been a bit god-moddish there, I apologize)) |

"It's me who should be sorry." Denak muttered from his end of the bar, simply sitting there in solitude, sighing. |
