Dock Drafting Drink (Open)

[Gabriella Santos]

The docks were a nasty place. Full of sailor and mercenary. Oda soldiers and traders unloading cargo. Large warehouses, and way too many places to drink not that Gabriella minded. She wasn't famous by any stretch of the imagination, but down here enough people knew her face, and moved aside, but she wasn't the cause of the people moving. She was currently being followed by a small man, who while not imposing wore costly clothes which bared the symbol of the Oda. While her face was recognised, this man status was more important to the men here. 

"Miss Santos, this is highly un-advised you should have allowed me to get new guards as soon as you returned." The man complained trying to keep up with her as she walked purposefully. "And allow the Oda to insult my father again, by assigning me disloyal and ineffectual men to my protection." Gabriella snapped back over her shoulder. Gabriella would push her was into one of the drinking establishment, to a sudden silence as people looked up. Like the dock in general, their was a mix of people, fighters, workers and sailors. And not many women. And no women that looked like she did. 

Buying a drink, the silence broke and noise returned to the place. Drinking she looked over the room. Her eyes scanning for men in black armour, there were none. Obviously if the men Maki was after they  either did not openly wear their gear, which was likely, or they did not drink here. Walking over to one of the tables she place her bottle down, and looked up at those around the room. 

"Sorry to bother you all. I'm Gabriella Santos. And I am in the market for some decent loyal sword as Guards. Now if you are mercenary, I assure you I can pay and pay well. Oda soldier, and I'm sure my friend here could convince you. That it is a smart option. The main thing I am after is quality and I would have it." Gabriella would say loudly interrupting the rooms drink, gesturing to the man as she mentioned him. Silence fell, and then a on set of discussion started between groups about her she knew. Standing there she waited drinking until someone spoke to her. 

[Fujii Yori]

Sitting over at a table with three Oda soldiers, that Yori was conversering with. He was trying to get small scraps of information on the drunken soldiers of the Oda's true intentions. However these small frys had little to no information and much of it was just speculation. " Nobunaga and Ranmaru secret love ". Ridiculous rumours and speculation. It seems though that fate has shown me another path. I size up the brash young foreigner, who is accompanied by a Oda official - interesting. I pat my Oda fellows on the back and say.

" Drink up don't worry boys i'll take care of this what are friends for right "!

" Right thank you Fujii-San For the drinks ".

I stand up and motion my way over to the young lady, even if she knows nothing of the Oda it will raise Azai-Oda relations. I stop five feet away from her, bowed and introduce myself and offer my assistance.

" Good evening my lady i am Fujii Yori Of the Azai an ally of the Oda my friends are indisposed at the moment, i would honored to assist you in place of my allies ".

[Silver-Silvera]

Ferdinand stood outside of the pub, staring at the sign he couldn't read. "I have yet to try the natives alcohol." He thought. "This place is poor. Its drink will most likely be horrible. Its best to try everything. Alcohol is one thing worth trying all of." As he entered, he stopped for several seconds and surveyed all he could. Before he was finished he saw an out of place women. She was asking for bodyguards. A man got up from his seat and talked to her. He followed. Before she had a chance to answer what the other man said, he asked "Why is a woman so far from home? Iberian? Men don't take their wives and daughters with them to places like these."
