Draig screams internally at himself for mentioning his treatment of the slavers when a simple "I took care of them." would've been plenty descriptive. Way to sound like a crazy person that only enjoys killing, Draig. Good job. "Wellllll.... I'm always up for eating some meat so.... To the meat!" He says maybe a touch more enthusiastic than he normally would for being grateful of the change of subject. As they begin the final approach to the food stands, Kreig stops and sniffs the air a few times before nodding and leading them into a grey tent. Inside is what is clearly a family of Orcs prepping an array of different slow cooked meats, all of which seem to be heavily seasoned, some sweet some spicy. "Mmmmmm... This is gunna be good. Smells like they just got the meat." Draig drools a bit but tried to hide it. "Welp. Sniff around! See what smells good to you, and toss it in a box there and I'll pay for it when I pick mine out."

Beta watched Draig with an amused look. "Sure- A bit different than what I'm used to but I'll give it a try." She smiled politely. The dame looked towards the family of orcs, she watched them with a distant look for a moment before being pulled back to reality when the male spoke again. "Oh-" She looked towards him, "Yeah yeah. Sure." Beta stepped away slightly, looking around the stand at the different types of meat put out. She sniffed slightly, eyes narrowing. She had no clue what to get so she simply grabbed something that was small and looked cheap and put it in a box. "I'm done." She shrugged stiffly.

Draig snorts. "Wah? Thats all you're gunna get? Hmmm~ Some ones bashful aren't they? Thats alright." Draig saunters over to the bar and quickly tosses a some sweet pulled pork and some spicy pulled pork into different boxes before getting some of what smells like smoked turkey with a salty bark on the outer layers. Upon grabbing another box he spots a few turkey legs and snatches them up and places them in a box too. It's at this time that one of the Orcish kids notices Draig and just stands there. Staring up at him. Draig notices and smirks at them and gives them a friendly wave. Dumbfounded the kid slowly waves back before running back and ducking behind their mothers skirt. Whom appears to be the father figure approaches upon seeing his kid be all impressed and puffs up his chest... Which deflates upon arriving at the register when he realized how much smaller her is. Not too common for an Orc but for sure always a blown to their over-sized ego's. Having already counted out how much the cost was, Draig slides the Credits over in a massive paw so Beta doesn't see the cost, though to be fair it was pretty reasonable. Please with the purchases, Draig turns to Beta. "This sure is a lot of food! I hope you'll help me deal with this problem." He says teasingly, in an attempt to get her to eat more than just the shredded lizard meat she picked out.

Beta simply had stepped back and watched, simply rolling her eyes at the male's comment, occasionally she'd look to the ground and then back up until finally, it seemed Draig was at the register paying for everything. Slowly, the dame leaned forward and approached him again. "Tsk-" She huffed out light-heartedly, "What I got is fine," She shrugged. "I don't really know what it is I got, but I'm sure it's fine," Beta tacked on awkwardly. Slowly, the female turned her gaze to the family, offering a polite wave before shaking her head, cringing slightly, before stepping away from the shop. She needed to remember she was out of place here.

Draig leads Beta out of the establishment before speaking once more "You some how managed to pick the most.... Ah... Exotic meat they had there. You keen on eating Alligator meat If not ya might wanna trade me hun. We've got a few types of pork and turkey here." a slightly softer voice probably would've been good as his deep rumbling voice carried a good ways.

"Ah," Beta began with a slight edge of realization lacing her words, "Well... It's something new, but I'm sure it's fine." She shrugged, trailing closely behind Draig as he led her out of the area. "Tsk- You seem concerned. I'm fine with what I got, really." She offered a slight smile, looking sideways up at him. Slowly, she looked around. It seemed the bustling city streets were keeping the attention off of her. She should probably change soon, at least into something that seemed more in place with the others.

Draing nods. "Concerned is the right word yes. I love the meat. It's kinda like pork. But... well. You just got here. Some times heavily foreign foods don't really sit well with you at first if you catch my meaning. These other two, they have gotta be closer to what you're used to eating. I've actually seen people die from eating some of the stuff but to be fair it was the weird colorful shit that you obviously shouldn't eat." Draig leads them into an alcove thats open enough that they can see everything, closed off enough where they won't feel like they are getting pushed by the crowed but not claustrophobic or like Draig is leading Beta into a trap. "Alright this is the best I know of since I don't ah... I don't really have a house ssoooo yeah." He says with a hint of embarrassment.

The dame nodded, looking towards the sky as she paused, eyes narrowing slightly, before looking back forward. Beta jogged forward, catching up with Draig. "Ah," She nodded in understanding, "No need to seem embarrassed." She mumbled, noticing the slight tick in his tone. "I don't really have a house at the moment either," She added, chuckling softly. "Oh, thank you for your concern though. I do appreciate it," Beta smiled at the comment about eating foreign food.

Draig chuckles as he wipes a bench off and gestures for her to join him on it. "I've been here a bit longer than ya though. You juuuuust got here." Draig returns the smile and nods. "And I appreciate you being so pleasant." With that he pulls out a turkey leg and bites through it and as he chews the bone crunching can be heard very noticeably. "By the way, that was a nice couple shots you place earlier, that seems to be a mighty fine weapon. Whats it powered by? If its not magic, you may wanna consider getting that done some time. Eva can help ya out there."

Beta slowly approached the bench, sitting at the very edge of it. "Mm, I suppose that's true. But even then," She shrugged, "It doesn't matter to me." Hesitantly she grabbed the small piece of meat she'd gotten, taking a small bite from it. Beta furrowed slightly, it wasn't bad, just unfamiliar. "It's not too bad," She mumbled simply, swallowing the small bite of food. The female glanced sideways to the sound of bone-crunching, ears twitching but shook her head when he spoke again. "O-Oh. It is magic power." She nodded, looking down at the ground before back up, "Who's Eva?" She asked, tilting her head.

Draig smiles faintly when she begins eating her food and sets a few of the other boxes next to her and opens them in hope the enticing scents will get her to have a bite. Draig writes Beta's reaction off to the statement about her weapon, and her question, as simple surprise. "She is some one most people around here know of, but don't actually know. I've only seen her around a few times. I have no need of her contraptions though they are very well made. She owns a weapon shop. Sounds like you may not have to deal with her either. Probably for the best, since you aren't loaded down with Credits at the moment. I got her to cut the muzzle breaks in that make this sounds like the whispered screams of the dead but aahh her being the person she is, she tried to steal it and give me a fake she tried to reproduce that didn't work as well. I could tell as soon as I touched it. The magic and the materials were not from my home."

"Ahh," She nodded in understanding, "Hm. Well the longer I stay and get some credits, maybe I'll have to pay her a visit." She shrugs, "Although, she doesn't seem like the best character," Beta tacked on, eyes narrowing about the comment of trying to steal his weapon. Eventually, Beta sat back against the bench, taking another bite of the meat. "Hm. Well even then, I've no need to another weapon. I hardly use the one I already have." She shrugged again, head tilting to the left and then right.

Draig nods and adds "That was very rare, what she did. She's one of the more trust worthy business peoples we have out here despite that. One could also say that its just on par with everything else out here, people who won't commit a crime of some degree every now and then out here are incredibly rare and typically don't make it." He then leans over and whispers "Also... Never openly admit you don't use your weapon often. Makes you sound like a good target." Draig straightens himself and clears his throat. "At any rate, if you're considering a military-esque style life I urge you to reconsider unless you are just that damn good with your pistol. Having a back up weapon is always a good idea too anyways. It could be a blade of some kind. I'm saving up to try to get something special made and added to my armor as a secondary weapon and to help keep my ass alive."

"Mm- Still," Beta responded simply, clenching her fits to pop her knuckles before relaxing. "I suppose I just find it hard to trust people in business who've had instances like that. I guess that's just my family's logic pushed onto me... Anyhow," She paused, stopping herself as she felt him lean over and whisper. "Oh..." She huffed once he leaned away and continued on. "Hm, I do suppose you're right. Maybe I'll get some sort of melee weapon in the future." The Bionic agreed, "It'd probably do me good."

Draig's eyes shift down to her popping knuckles before flicking up back to Beta's eyes. "I agree whole heartedly. Problem is there are all of zero vendors here that aren't to some degree or other a criminal, see what I'm saying? They are ALL shit, you just gotta deal with the least shitty ones when you do actually have to do business. Even the food is like that, that's why I was sniffing around. Don't put it past some of these shit's to lace your food." Draig's smile broadens as Beta agrees to consider a melee weapon and nods enthusiastically "Yeah that's the spirit! And if you're not used to a blade or whatever you pick up I may be able to give you a few pointers. And.... you know... Some armor may not be bad... you'd blend in a little better too."
