Deiter stood behind the bar counter cleaning up some spilled ale. Days were starting to turn a little grim... Chani was sick with something and it bothered him that he didn't know what. As he started to pour up some ale the tavern door opened. The lights in the tavern grew brighter as a moon elf walked in. A nutty grin was on the elf's face as he took a seat at the bar.
Deiter walked over towards him. "What can I do for you?" The elfs grin grew bigger. "You could get this old elf some strong ale." As the ranger went to get the ale the old elf started to hum. Deiter turned around startled at the sound. "Know that song do ya sonny?" The half-elf sat the mug down, "Who are you?" The moon elf's green eyes twinkled."Why I'm your past...but you can just call me Jas."
How does he know that song? My mother used to sing that to me... He shoved the thoughts away as he left the bar heading for Chani's room. As he started to open the door he knew something was wrong. The bed was empty and the window was hanging open. "What the?" He walked over towards the window looking out into the city. "What happened?!" Deiter said aloud to himself as he backed away from the window. There was a crunch noise as he backed up. Laying on the floor was Chani's necklace.
He bent down and picked it up. His thumb rubbed the surface of it for a few seconds. With his thoughts in place, he clasped the necklace then barged down stairs. Jas looked over from the bar to Deiter. "Whoa young one. What is it?" The half-elf showed him the necklace. Jas nodded in understandment. "You must wait, your friends are coming. And you can't just leave the tavern. Have that Seph fellow watch it."
"You're right..." Deiter went back upstairs jamming stuff into his backpack. Jas stood there frowning. His grin gone as he got the tavern set up to be looked after. "That boy is too much like his father..."
