Thought I would upload my D&D drabbles and things just for fun until I can get my other fic back on track.

Lilac Isadora Marple - tiefling bard (ME!)
Kell Stridex of Westrun - human paladin
Ellie Mosca - dragonborn barbarian

The bar was crowded with hunters from the guild. Music played that heightened everyone's spirits and it kept the drink flowing. It had been a while since the guild had had a celebration like this with every member taking up the towns pub.

It had been a successful month of monster hunting for Ellie, Kell and Lilac. Their latest achievements being a black dragon and a Beholder. When they returned they had to prove their accomplishments to the others and so gave a demonstration of Lilac's new musical flame-thrower instrument. It was a dangerous display but the guild members were highly impressed.

Kell had promised to meet up with the other two later once she had sorted their funds. The bard and the barbarian drank, ate and laughed together throughout the night with Lilac promising to let Ellie have a go of her guitar after their hangovers in the morning.

As the hours went by the bar continued to get busy and Ellie was on her tenth drink but she was nowhere near drunk and Lilac was only on her fifth. The two sat huddled together and were now watching their fellow hunters making fools of themselves. Ellie nudged her companion when she spotted the head of the guild who was slumped and drooling over a bar stool but Lilac didn't turn her head.

She had her elbow leaning on the table with her head resting in her hand and eyes looking towards the bar. From the corner of her eye Ellie could see her swishing her tail from side to side and underneath the table she was tapping her foot impatiently. She knew her friends actions all too well.

Ellie followed Lilac's gaze to a half orc leaning on the bar and she recognised him straight away.

"Have you lost your damn mind?! Cazell? Really?!" Ellie whispered furiously to the tiefling.

Cazell was staring straight at them giving the best charming smile a half orc could give. He had small black eyes, leathery brown skin and hair that resembled a birds nest. The only visible thing attractive about him were his two pointed teeth and his thick muscles. She bit her lip and Ellie knew that that meant she was unsure to go for him or not but the orc sent her a wink and the tiefling was hooked.

"I'm going for another beer." she told her friend ignoring her question. Lilac slipped off her seat and walked towards the bar perfectly swaying her hips. Ellie chuckled and shook her head as she watched her go.

Lilac was a thing of beauty even with an eye patch and one and a half horns. Her hair was purple that went past her shoulders and her she skin was white as snow and dashed with pink freckles. Her tail was thin and forked at the end and her one eye looked like gold threads and sapphires. In the tavern filled with scarred, armoured hunters she stood out like a jewel among coal.

The tiefling girl was a hopeless romantic but her relationships were short. Ellie didn't take her eyes off the pair. She couldn't tell what they were saying but having watched Lilac on dates before she learned all of her tricks to get into a man's heart, but more often just into his pants.

No matter how adorable Ellie found Lilac's quest for love she thought that she was very naive, but she was ready to knock out any men she was dating if they treated her badly. The dragonborn barbarian wasn't interested in finding love like her friend, she joined the hunters guild to improve her skills and for a bit of adventure, but she wouldn't say no if the opportunity popped up.

Cazell bowed his head at Lilac, took her hand and placed a kiss on it. He leaned over and spoke to the barmen and tossed a few coins in his direction then he was given a key. He grasped her hand and lead her to the stairs as they passed Lilac looked over to Ellie and winked. She rolled her eyes and laughed into her mug of ale.

As the two climbed the stairs Kell entered the busy bar and bought herself a drink then found Ellie sitting alone.

"Where's Lilac?" she asked scanning the room for a horn in the crowd.

Ellie grabbed hold of Lilac's untouched beer and downed it before answering. "She's jumped the gun again."

Kell rolled her eyes, "Oh for Celestian's sake!"
