"Birdie, you say! Then we are destined to meet! For I, too, am named Birdi! BIRDI OF THE SEAS, ready to train you in the the art of true swordsmanship!"
As Birdie's plate of food came in, Birdi stabbed a piece of sausage with her sword before Birdie could even pick up her fork and began to chew on it, sitting next to the plate and looking at Birdie.
"Now, then, tell me more about yourself. I believe you said your true name was.....Natalie Byrd Tiller, yes? Royalty from the southern borders? I should certainly hope that was not a lie, you seemed Hellbent on letting that ranger know it." She said with a full mouth. Birdi swallowed immediately after.
"Your upbringing matters not to me! What matters is your will to learn! Are you refreshed? I should hope so, because after our breakfast I wish to see you once more in combat! We shalt duel in the streets for the entertainment of others! Only then will I know what you are capable of."

Birdie sighs
"Yes, royalty. I don't like to talk about it. And that was my sausage, that's my favorite part. Hmm...funny how we're both Birdie and we're both associated with water. Clan Tiller rules the waves and all that."
She grabs the second sausage before Birdi can steal it, but almost spits it out when dueling is mentioned.
"What? Dueling? In the streets? Dear gods woman, haven't I suffered enough? I've had enough of dueling for a good long while."
She gulps down the sausage as well.
"Can't we duel in the woods or something? Why does it have to be the streets? I'll just flail around trying to hit you and embarrass myself."

"Ah, and thus is your first lesson: A duel is more than a fight- it is entertainment! By having our duel in front of others we bring joy and amazement to their lives for that day! They will have stories to tell of your daring deeds and unique style! Every twirl of your cape, every parry and reposte of the blade, every step, it shalt be ingrained in their memories as the day Birdie Tiller graced their presence! Though, I suppose if you wish to practice your technique before showing off, I shall oblige. After breakfast, prepare yourself for training! It will be a day filled with excitement!"
She noticed Birdie was uninterested. Birdi leaned in close to her face.
"If they are entertained, they will freely give you money. No need for stealing." She said with a smile.

Birdie looks dully at the little woman, chewing on her sausage.
"I don't want them to give me money. I want to take it. There's no fun in it if they just give it to me. If I wanted money handed to me, I would have stayed at home and been a good girl. I could have had anything. Stealing is fun, it's a bigger rush than alcohol or fairy dust or anything. Believe me, I've tried them all. The satisfaction, the feeling of pulling one over on them, the thrill of doing something illegal, the slight hint of fear...it's like nothing else."
She swallows.
"Besides, that's the first fight I've gotten into in months, I'm too pretty to fight. Most guys won't dare hurt me, and I usually don't steal from women. They're harder to distract."

Birdi took another bite of the sausage bit she stole and scratched her chin. She swallowed soon after.
"I see. So you steal because it's thrilling to you? Because you feel alive and not sealed up within your mansion? I don't blame you. I have spent the last 500 years in the forest with my daughter, raising her properly. And she raised her daughter as well. I love them both, but my daughter never had an eye for adventure. She preferred safety. I can't fault her.....on my own adventurers I have come so close to death, I am on a first-name basis with the reaper! And with my grandaughter on her own adventure, I grow bored of home life. I seek adventure! Glory! Legends! There's no bigger rush than staring down a dragon a hundred times your size, not knowing if you can win but willing to give it a try anyway. I've never felt so alive when I am flying for my life from dangerous traps in an ancient tomb guarded by a powerful lich! Thieving never felt right to me. I can have my adventure and do good at the same time! Tis the wonders of being a hero! I feel you would do well as a traveler......At least men would respect you more if you knew how to use your blade."

"Adventuring, hmm? I suppose I could give it a shot..."
Birdie laughs at the last part.
"If men respected he more, they wouldn't stare at my chest so much and it would be harder to liberate their wallets. I dress this way for a reason. Just enough to attract attention to where I want it, and nobody recognizes my face. Ever. It makes things easier."
She sighs.
"Life has always been easy for me, even since I've been on my own. I've never had to work a day or go hungry. If I'm broke, I just walk through a crowd. I'm living the good life right now, Birdi of the seas. This torn shirt? No big deal, I'll buy a new one with the money I got from some merchant a couple of days ago. Katashiman silk. I don't even have to worry. I can get my thrills and have cash for whatever I want whenever I want it. Why would I throw that away? I know some adventurers, and they're always broke and desperate for work."

"Yes, it sounds like a wonderful life....but what happens when you are captured? This city is not too keen on thieves. I wouldn't be surprised if they hang you for pilfering a man's purse."

Birdie laughs carelessly.
"Catch me? Who could catch me? I've never been caught. You don't count, you're a pixie and have sharp eyes. Also you were stalking me. So no, you don't count."
She grins cockily.
"I don't get caught, Birdi. Simple as that. Nobody can catch me, because I'm a master thief."

Birdi continued to grin before shrugging.
"If you say so." She said as she finished the sausage up. "But you're certainly no fighter! But you could be, and then if by some unusual coincidence you happen to be caught, you could fight the fiends off and escape in the most dynamic of fashion!"

Birdie sighs.
"Everything's about fighting with you, isn't it? How about, wait for it...I don't get caught? Anyhow, even if I am, it's no big deal. Guards can be bought. Men can be...convinced. Locks can be picked. I have my ways to get out of things. You're too quick to resort to violence, you're making the world a more dangerous place."
She swallows her eggs and crunches the toast.
"So, besides fighting in the streets...did you have any other plans?"

"Plans are for those with no sense of adventure! We seek out danger where ever it may be and stare it down with our swords drawn! You wish to have treasure, yes? There are dungeons to explore! Rewards to loot! Ruins to excavate! We need not steal to survive, we hunt our own adventure and take it by the reigns!" Birdi boasted, swirling her sword in the air dramatically.

Birdie groans.
"Here are no ruins in the city, pixie."
She gets up, dropping some coins on the table for the meal.
"Fine. Let's go. I'll try your adventures. Where to?"
She adjusts her clothes, with a distasteful tsk when she notices the torn collar and sleeve.
"And I really should find a new shirt."

"Hm....." Birdi said as she got uncomfortably close to the torn collar. She snapped her fingers.
"I know a thing or two about sewing! Perhaps if we can find a stitching kit I could repair your close- nay, improve them with pixie magic! I assume you would love enchanted clothing, yes? Something to make yourself irresistible, even to the ladies?"

Birdie looks surprised.
"Can you do that? It would be very...useful. I would love enchanted clothing."
She grins. She'll be able to get away sigh anything, now...
"We can buy a sewing kit in the market. Should we head there?"

"Of course! I'll admit it has been a while since I enchanted equipment, but it's something you never forget!" She said as she floated into the air. She pointed to the door triumphantly.
"Very well, then! We shall repair your clothing and begin our adventure! To the clothing store to go shopping!"

Tania entered the Tavern Birdie hopefully following right behind her. She would turn to face Birdie, with very judgmental look would glare at Birdie.

Birdie walks in, with a worried look over her shoulder outside.
"Hey, no need to give me that...but thanks again for the help. Why would you help me like that? I thought you didn't like me."
She rubs her face, which is still bruised.
"Feel guilty about beating me up, or something?"

The Ranger said nothing and continued to give Birdie a judgemental stare as if she were waiting for Birdie to do or say something specific. The thousand yard stare with judgemental amunition would make even Jorech's shell falter before it.

"Uh..."
Birdie tries to avoid the ranger's piercing stare.
"I...I'll get going, then, I guess. Maybe I'll rent a room here or something..."
She starts to walk off into the tavern.
