Blue walked along the street, trying to act natural. Their walk was a bit stiff and awkward. They weren't quite used to wearing the newly acquired set of armor yet. It was heavy and restrictive. It felt like the it took a lot of effort to lift each leg and move it forward. They thought it would be easier from watching so many people do it so easily. Keeping their balance was also difficult. It was all a new experience, so they just decided to do their best.
The armor was very fine and expensive looking. It was also almost unnaturally clean, shining silver in the sunlight. The armor had red and gold colored cloth adornments. The chainmail sections clinked as they walked along, occasionally losing balance for a moment and stumbling before catching themself with arms outstretched.
"Are you alright, there sir? Had a little too much to drink?" a woman asked after one of these stumbles with a joking smile.
"Ahaha! I am fine! I am just a drink! I mean, I had just a drink!" he said with a laugh. He turned his head toward the woman as he spoke. His helmet turned around just a bit farther than one might expect. The woman looked a little disturbed and gave a slightly forced smile, a bit put off by the strange armored man before her. She quickly continued on her way, leaving him there. They waved after her as she left, trying to be friendly.
They straightened themself out again and continued their awkward gait down the street until they reached a sign that said "The Brass Dragon". There seemed to be a lot of laughing and revelry coming from inside the open doors, so they turned and entered. This seemed like a nice place to meet some friendly people!

Javal Zarrias had arrived to Capitol Landing a couple of days ago after helping out merchants transport their goods. Since then he has stayed here doing some exploring around town since. He had met many interesting people so far by going to the Brass Dragon Tavern everyday. When he was on his way walking over to the tavern he saw an interesting sight a mysterious powerful looking armored warrior. "Wow", he thought, "Whoever that is must be really strong, they are giving off an intimidating aura around them". He decided to follow behind the strong looking armored warrior in the brass dragon. He then saw them sit down at the counter and be silent for a minute. Javal then sat right next to them excited to get to know this powerful induvial.

Blue walked into the tavern and looked around excitedly at the crowd. There were people drinking ale, people playing cards at one of the tables, people sitting and brooding in the corner. It was everything one could ever hope for in a tavern! They decided to start simple and not try anything too complicated yet. They walked over to an empty stool by the counter and sat down, facing away from the bar.
They glanced to the side and noticed that everyone else sitting at the bar was facing the opposite way as them. He watched as another man, with purple skin and a pair of horns sat on the stool next to him and faced the bar. Oh, so that's how you do it! They thought as they stood up and sat down again correctly, this time.
They sat there silently observing the others at the bar. Some people ordered drinks and handed over coins in exchange. They reached to their waist and pulled out a coin from the pouch there. They were glad this hadn't fallen off their new armor. They placed a coin on the counter and spoke to the barman.
"A drink!" he said excitedly. The barman just looked at him and waited a moment before saying "Uh... you want an ale?"
"Yes, an ale!" he said with a short laugh. The barman just gave him a weird look before taking the coin and going to prepare the drink. He came back with the ale and some change from the coin and placed them on the counter in front of Blue.
They took the ale and poured it into the space beneath their helmet into their cuirass.

Finley sat slumped in his seat, eyes trained on the cup, thinking, or rather, not thinking at all. His mind drifted and touched on nothing, he just sat there and stared at the empty cup. He almost drifted into sleep couple of times but always shook himself awake before that happened.
The lively sounds of the crowds were muffled in his ears, and vaguely, he felt the presence of another person next to him.
Looking to his right, he saw a person in full armor sitting backwards on the stool. He stared at them, thinking that he perhaps was seeing things, and rubbed his eyes.
He rubbed his eyes again, asked, when the they were seated facing the right way, “Are you new, er, here?”
He watched them pour an entire drink into their helmet, did that even arrive in their mouth?
“Do you… always drink like that?”
Finley, now pulling himself of his sleepiness, was quite interested in the strange individual.

"Yes!" Blue responded to both of the bird man's questions at the same time. How efficient of me! they thought to themself before thinking again. Wait, the people I watched always answered questions separately. Should I do that, then?
"Yes, I have always drink liquids" they added, trying to be normal. That was a close call. They almost sounded strange, there. It's a good thing they spent so much time watching people from the sewer.
They proceeded to shove the empty glass into the cuirass as well.
Thankfully, the barman had been busy with another customer and didn't notice. He just walked over and was confused where the glass had gone, looking around at the ground behind the bar in case it had fallen. They didn't hear it break. Maybe someone else had taken it? It's not like this man in armor had anywhere they could hide it. They shrugged and went back to work.

As Javal sat down on a stool next to the armored warrior at the counter area he saw a sleepy Aviankin fellow sat on the otherside of the armored warrior. The armored warrior astonished Javal, they were so powerful they can drink withought opening their helmet, man that must be a super rare skill. After Javal heard them talk he thought it was finally time to make a good impression to them. He sits up straight and turns to face them, "Hello good sirs, my name is Javal Zarrias I am a strong fellow adventurer, former member of the black dragon pirates, and you two seem like really interesting fellows would either of you like to be my friend". He then beckons over the barkeep asks for a water and eagerly awaits the two fellows response hoping he would make new friends today.
