Up the street from the Inn, a familiar pair could be seen walking down the street together.
One was a mage of some kind, his dark green robes with yellow trimmings, obscuring most of his body. All that could be seen was the man's long, blood red hair, and a pair of blue hands with similar hair covering the backs. A large wide brimmed yellow hat adorned his head, the shadow only allowing his bright green eyes to be seen from beneath clearly. He seemed curious about something the other person walking with him was doing.
Said person was a man of average height, his short brown hair held back by a blue bandana. His blue platemail shone brightly in the n sun, a stark contrast to the black undergarments that could be seen between the pieces. His dark green eyes were currently fixated on what appeared to be a collection of papers.
"...Stephan, what could possibly be so fascinating about the contents of that?" he asked, trying to get a peak at it. Stephan quickly moved the papers slightly out of reading view, appearing slightly more nervous.
"Nothing big Mid, just uh... some job I'm thinking of taking is all." he said, doing his best to force a large, cheerful smile at the redhead by his side. Unfortunately for Stephan, all this did was make Midoku more curious. Nothing short of beating someone senseless would usually cause him to be this happy, unless the mage knew of the reason firsthand.
"...I see..." was all the mage said. Just then, his stomach decided to let out a low growl, the pair both looking at the mage's tummy.
"Guess its about time to get some grub, I'm starving my arse off too." Stephan said, "Too bad the Jade Dragon's just a pile of dirt now, we would've been right near the bloody place. The ONE time Doma having so many damned Inn's was a good thi... Mid?"
Midoku just started ahead, Stephan raising an eyebrow and turning to look up the road ahead of them. He blinked once, then twice, then two more times, not believing the site before him. There, amongst the ruin and rubble of the rest of the city, was the exact same Jade Dragon the pair remembered.
"...how the hell...?" Stephan wondered, dumbfounded by the site.
"Perhaps Miss Dia had some magical aid?" Midoku wondered, holding his chin as he thought out the possibilities to explain it.
"...whatever, I'm f#$king starving, let's just go in and get something to eat." Stephan said, heading off and leaving Midoku to ponder to himself, the swordman's stomach winning out any other thoughts for the moment.
"...or perhaps she enlisted the aid of some form of elementa... oh! Wait for me!" Midoku called, running after him once he had noticed reality again. Within a few moments, the pair were at the door and entering the newly rebuild Inn... of old.
