The inn was pretty empty this time of day, too early for dinner but too late for lunch. Most of the villagers were out and about doing their daily tasks. Moonveil Village was quiet. A calm spot in the woods that were often full of some kind of danger, whether it be bandits or beasts.
One visitor to the village, who didn't care what time of day it was, sat in the corner of the inn's first floor with multiple plates of food, eating happily. Lunch or dinner time didn't matter to them as they feasted. They wore a full suit of armor that left everything about their appearance to the imagination except for their broad and muscular build, including their bucket-like helmet which they just inserted their fork or spoon up into the bottom of that hid their face.
In the center of the chest plate of the intricate set of plate armor, a fancy emblem was attached that denoted, despite their horrendous eating habits, that this person was actually a member of the nobility of Dragon's Cradle, a land far to the northeast of Moonglade, on nearly the opposite side of Charon.
They were definitely not from around here, and they were especially not a member of the quiet little village.

Traya would often come to Moonveil Village on her travels. It was a quiet village in her homeland, but trouble always seems to find its way there. And why she didn’t enjoy the quiet, it was nice to be in a familiar place. Traya always seemed to find her way to the inn. It was where all the best tales were told, and on rare occasions, a good bar fight.
With nothing better to do she went to the inn. She was disappointed however when she realized the time of day, for the inn was pretty empty, and would probably stay that way for some time. She thought to herself, I’m here, might as well get a drink. she ordered a drink and sat at the bar.
as she was drinking, someone caught her attention. A knight sitting in the corner of the inn, happily eating multiple plates of food. She wouldn’t have given him a second thought except for that armor, which look quite expensive. The more she look at them, she realizes that they had an emblem, and one that she recognized. Can this man be from Dragon’s Cradle, she thought.
she watched them as they ate, puzzled on why a Knight would eat in such a way. Eventually Traya got up and walked over to the table that the knight was sitting at and waited for them to notice her. "Greetings. I couldn't help but notice, is that the emblem for the nobility of Dragon's Cradle?"
the knight saw a moon elf woman, in some cheap leather armor, with long white hair, and light blue eyes. She has a purple strand of hair on the side of her face, and a few freckles under her eyes. She seemed to be analyzing the knight.

The knight looked up in surprise. They didn't usually have anyone approach them while they were eating, except maybe the wait staff to ask them to leave or tell them they couldn't serve them any more food or it would inconvenience other patrons. But, this person didn't look like wait staff at all. She was also wearing armor. Maybe she was another adventurer. They finished shoving the food in their hands into their helmet quickly and turned to face her.
"Yup!" They responded cheerily with a nod. Their appearance was very noble in their full armor and displaying their sigil, but their attitude and definitely didn't seem very refined and proper like other nobles. "I'm Lord Geoffrey Wolfe, but you can just call me Wolfe if you want. Are you an adventurer too?" Wolfe asked curiously.
If they gave any notice of the analytical stare from the woman, it was hidden beneath their helmet, but their attitude suggested they paid it no mind. They idly picked up another chicken leg while waiting for her to respond, sticking it up into their helmet where it practically vanished, bone and all.

Traya’s eyes seemed to soften upon hearing the Knight’s cheerful response. She opened her mouth to speak and was taken aback when she saw the Knight put a whole chicken leg up their helmet, where it seemed to disappear. She thought, what kind of person eats a whole chicken leg that fast, bone and all. She stood there for half a second confused, before regaining her composure. “Yes I am.” Behind her words, there was a hint of curiosity. “I’m Traya Blackstone, though no noble titles.”
She watched them as they ate, wondering why they were so different from the other nobles she had met. Some nobles were stuck ups, thinking they were better than everyone else. But the Knight seemed different, not caring for the judgmental opinions around them, or they were just very unmannered. She thought about asking about their eating habits but said nothing because they were a nobleman. “If you don’t mind me asking, what is someone like you doing out here?” She asked.
She twirled her cup that she had taken from the bar back and forth in her hands, careful not to spill the drink. She seemed to take a curiosity to the Knight.

"Nice to meet you." Wolfe responded politely to Traya's self introduction, at least remembering a little bit of the decorum of a noble after forgetting them the entire time they'd been eating.
They tilted their head slightly, seeming to not immediately understand the question, but then straightened up.
"Oh, you mean in Moonglade? I'm adventuring! I'm an adventurer too. I was looking for something really big to ea- I mean, to beat! Like a monster. But I didn't find anything, so I came here to get some food. I like this inn. It has really good chairs." Wolfe said, their tone changing as their spoke from excited to almost reminiscing. Evidently, this inn gave the knight some sense of nostalgia.
"Do you want to sit down?" Wolfe asked, gesturing to the chair across the table from them with their fork before stabbing it into the top of a whole piece of steak and starting to feed it up into their helmet.

Traya raised an eyebrow at Wolfe‘s almost slip up of words but didn’t immediately say anything. “Sure!” She replied happily and with a smile. She took the chair across from them, placing her drink on the table, which she kept her hands held tightly around.
“It’s nice to meet another adventure.” Traya said excitedly. She gave a glance around the inn, and the few people that were in it, before saying, “I don’t know if I’d call it luxurious, but I do enjoy the food... By the sounds of it, it seems like you have some history here.” She said, the curious tone never quite leaving her voice.
As she spoke, she looked at all the plates of food, and couldn’t help but watch Wolfe while they ate. What before she tried to chuck up as bad manners or a really hungry individual fell to the wayside. She thought, this person eats more and faster than anyone I’ve seen. She knew there was something different about them but didn’t know what.

"Oh yeah, the food here is great!" Wolfe agreed enthusiastically between proving their opinion by scarfing down said food. "I've been here loads of times. The first time, it was to celebrate after beating a bunch of bandits in the woods with my best friend. That was way before I become a noble and everything though. I was just a wolf then."
They gave a shrug and continued eating. It had been a long time since then, practically the very beginning of their adventuring. Far before the deeds they'd accomplished on their adventures had lead to them being granted a noble title. They hadn't even been to Dragon's Cradle at that point, let alone become part of its nobility. Heck, they hadn't even come up with the name Wolfe then. They just spent that whole adventure in the form of a giant wolf, leading to them coming up with the name later on, since their real name wasn't exactly the most "normal human knight" sounding.
"Do you want some?" Wolfe asked, pointing to the buffet spread across their table. With the amount of food on their table, letting Traya have a plate wouldn't matter much.
