"Um..." Arisa tried to say something but then Alisa walked through the door. She was dressed slightly more formal than usual, except she still kept the cloak on her for riding purposes, but her armor shined and her blade weapons stood one on each side of her waist. Her black panther tail swayed before her ears twitched to the direction where she heard them talking. She walked over to them with a smile, "Ah heroes, I was looking for you. I brought a letter from Alfrueta. They have invited you for a banquet as a welcoming to the world and to their kingdom."
"Eeeeh!?" Arisa said.
"Eeeeh!?" Arisa said.
Eliana was cutting meat and piling it onto a table. The table had a clean cloth on it to help retain the meat's quality and cleanliness.
"Zis meat will keep fairly well if we salt. Zere are better preservatives zan salt, but salt is ze safest for ze healz.
Zat's why we picked up zis salt from ze supermarket, remember?"
She began salting ze meat. She was hanging it up. They were in a basement.
"Ze reason we're doing it down in zis basement is temperature. Keeping ze meat cool is important. Its also very important we add additional salt as time goes on. When we bring it to market we'll need to keep it nicely shaded and cool or no one will want to buy it. If zey see it sititng out in ze sun they'll assume its rancid."
Eliana looked over to Arisa.
"When is zis banquet?"
It'd be a very good idea to go, but wiz so little warning how are we expected to go? We're busy. Hopefully we'll have at least an hour, zat'd be enough time to finish up and get clean.
I'd especially like to leave a good impression. Fazer always seemed to be concerned wiz how he appeared to ze public.

I know I just through that in there. Sue me.[/OOC]
"At the latest tomorrow, if not, then we can schedule two or few days from now" Alisa said. Arisa came on over, "M-Mast kingdom also invited the heroes and the party over a banquet!" Arisa took out a letter from her jacket and handed it over.
John hadn't moved since he talked to Kris but he could see everything that was going on. Alisa's invatation caught his attention. "Would I be invited too?" He asked Alisa?
"Of course. The heroes and their party. That includes you too as well."
"I'm interested in going to the Alfrueta banquet. The Demi-Human culture intrigues me." Korbin said.
He had watched and listened to Eliana's instructions carefully and made a series of mental notes on the finer points of what she did.
I should apologize to Kris during the trip. That would be the best time to do so.

Hmm tomorrow... better ask what time so we can plan a bit. Getting this meat sold quickly is a priority.
"Tomorrow is fine, we will work wiz ze schedule of our very kind hosts.
Mind if we could get a time? "

"W-well consider both kingdoms have issued a letter for the banquet....t-the l-last time it happened, it was done in O-Orion for the sake of neutrality b-but the heroes party can decide which banquet to go to...or you can have them do it in Orion together..." Alisa explained, "And usually the banquets start at dusk..."
Kris waved at Arisa, gesturing for her to come over so they could talk about splitting up their compensation. She completely forgot about the carcasses and the money whenever a banquet was announced.
"A banquet? Banquets? Is it gonna be fancy? I've nothing to wear . . . " she reached up to try and smooth down her hair, which promptly sprang back up into it's unruly waves.
Looking over whenever Korbin spoke of wanting to go, and being intrigued by Demi-human culture, she tried to reform some of her earlier perceptions of him.

Eliana realized her lack of cleanliness.
Ughhhh....
The wolves were all skinned and the meat all hanging. The furs were also cleaned.
"Arisa....."
She leaned in for a whisper.
"Where's a place a lady may clean herself? I'd hate myself forever if i offended our hosts tomorrow... and i zink I'd like to buy clean, nice, elegant clothing. "
She was hoping kris maybe heard too.
Impressions are everyzing. Fazer would be so disappointed if i forgot.
She also shot kris a genuine smile.

"U-uh..." she pointed to a room not too far, "Left is the ladies and right is the men....the heroes before your batch suggested this for hygiene reasons." Except it wasn't too elegant. There was somewhat of a sewer. The place had a handwashing area. It wasn't exactly as up par to anywhere modern but hey, at least it's something.
Kris, after their adventure and helping with the wolf carcasses, did not look her smell her best. Her sensitive ears easily caught up on the discreet conversation between Arisa and Eliana, and she caught the latter's eye.
"I'd very much like to wash up and pick out something fitting for the banquet," she almost bounced over. She was happy for any kind of facility to clean herself up at, having grown up among humble places that didn't always have the most updated technology.
"Any store nearby where we can buy something? I doubt we'd have time for a tailor and I don't need anything particularly elegant, just about anything aside from my gray robes would be welcome."

"Well t-there is...a sizeable amount of money given by the king of Mast at the heroes' disposal...so you could ask them" Arisa said.
"I'd be willing to finance this. After all, appearances are important at such gatherings as we will be attending." Korbin said, looking up from a small notebook he had out. The notebook had the design of a fierce golden colored dragon with a green gemstone set in the chest.
After Eliana made her way to the wash room, she cleaned herself obsessively. washing over and over
When she finally emerged (much later than kris), she was thoroughly cleaned.
Borderline OCD wouldn't begin to describe...
"I would also like to get nice dresswear"

Korbin spent about 20 minutes washing up. Upon emerging, Korbin was noticeably cleaner. He had washed off most of the dirt from his face and had somehow managed to expertly clean the blood and dirt stains from his clothing as well. His hair had been cleaned and was combed down rather neatly.
"We should have plenty of time to find proper attire for you ladies." He said when Eliana had emerged from the washroom.
"We should have plenty of time to find proper attire for you ladies." He said when Eliana had emerged from the washroom.
"S-so have we decided which banquet to attend...?" Arisa asked quietly, "Mast, Orion, or Alfrueta?"
Kris found hit easy to wash her hair due to how short it was. Styling it, however, was another matter. She had a comb and tried to tame it, but as it dried the waves and curls took over again. The elf decided it wouldn't do any good if she spent an extended amount of time with her hair, and went about cleaning up her body. Putting on her fresh set of robes, she emerged from the washroom looking refreshed.
The elf was concerned whenever Eliana took so long, and the woman certainly looked polished and squeaky clean. "I thought you fell in!" she grinned apt Eliana upon seeing her. Realizing that Korbin was offering to pay for their clothes, she had mixed feelings about it. "It is very kind of you to offer," she replied to him, wondering if he was offering to try and smooth things over.
Realizing they had not answered Arisa, she inquired, "Did you say Alfrueta was neutral ground? Maybe we should go there. But if the King of Mast has supplied money for heroes, we might go there as a thankful gesture," she looked at the others for their opinion.

"Orion is the neutral grounds...in the c-circumstances that the heroes cannot decide to pick Alfrueta or Mast....as a reminder Alfrueta is the kingdom of the d-demihumans while Mast is for humans..."
"As I said before, I'd prefer that we go to Alfrueta, but I'll see what the ladies would like to do." He said.
He had been looking through his notes that he took on the recent battle involving Adrian and Lilica.
