When Dante had fallen back, he had not noticed that he had knocked into Dreamer stool. It wobbled for a moment, and by the time Dante was finished with the large man, Dreamer crashed to the floor. The tavern was in uproar for a moment before someone helped Dreamer up and everyone began to talk again.
Dreamer had a cold glass of milk rested against his forhead when Dante arrived. Dreamer set the glass down and smiled, "Sorry about what?" Dreamer asked.

Dreamer nodded and grimaced, Dreamer had never killed a man before. He didnt know if he could do that, but then the thought of bandits went threw his mind. It made him a little uneasy but he felt he could do it, he could kill someone like that.
Dreamer shook his head and stayed silent, drinking more of his milk. When he was finished he ordered two more for the both of them. The bartender smiled at them and refilled the glasses.

Dreamer looked at Dante with a puzzled look on his face. He was trying to place the name with a face, but he just couldnt. After a minute he gave up and said, "Dont believe ive met him before, Maybe you can introduce us sometime, I like to know people who can tell me about my old family" Dreamer said.
He sensed Dante was becoming uncomforatable talking about his business. So, although it pained him to do it, Dreamer set those questions aside for the moment. "So how did you get that scar" he asked, indicating the one on his face.

Dreamer nodded and nodded some more, taking a drink of his milk. He was thinking deeply, trying to picture the process in his head. When he heard about the caravan he beamed and asked his next question, "Who's the Caravan Leader? I've met most of the caravan riders around here so i could probably tell you if your getting cheated of not".
Dreamer just realized that he could probably get some cheap housing for the night by one of the passing caravans. He hoped there were a few he had seen before, maybe even Scarlets old Caravan. Thats when he noticed, Scarlet never talked about her previous Caravan. That thought sent another spark in his curiosity, but he placed that question aside for when his caravan traveled back.
He payed more attention to Dante, trying to forget his old caravan.

Dreamer nodded and continued with his questions, " So how do you do what you do? How do you get the spices from here to somewhere else?" Dreamer shot the questions out one after the other. When the bartender came back around Dreamer waved him down with a smile and asked for two more milks.
Dreamer still had enough gold for himself to live another week in his side pouch. He wasnt worried about ordering anything. It wasnt like he was going to be buying the whole tavern a round of drinks, but he could pay for him and Dante.

Dreamer nodded, he had learned the mans proffession. He was a spice trader that traded with england and other nations. Something seemed off about it though,"Do you trade spices with spain" he asked. There were more questions than that, but that was the first he could think of.
Infact he had dozens more questions to ask the man. Where had he been? How long had he been in Camelot? How did he preform his job? Dreamer had always been a curious person, some would say too curious.

Dreamer nodded and took another sip of his water. He set it down then and rubbed his hands together, it was starting to get cold. Dreamer looked outside, night was beginning to fall upon Camelot.
"I've decided to take a permanent residence in Camelot, hopefully i can figure a few things out here, that is why i have taken a job here at the Ram" Dreamer smiled. He looked around the bar for a minute, noticing the place didn't look like it was going to close any time soon. He accepted that and turned his attention back to Dante. "Its going to be pretty hard though, going to have to find a place to stay" That sentence was intended for himself, but he absentmindedly spoke it out loud.
"So Dante, all this talk has been about me, what about you? What do you do for a living?" Dreamer was looking straight at Dante when he asked this. His curiosity had come into play and Dreamer was already starting to feel his need to know rising up.

Dreamer shook his head and pushed the drink a little ways from him, steadely losing interest in it. Dreamer was breathing fine now, and took a drink of water after the bartender put it beside him. His throat was clear so he was able to pay a much closer attention to the conversation.
"I have not been beyond the great sea, but i have heard tale of other places and have even done some trade" Dreamer took another drink of water and cleared his thoat, "And im not sure if we ever did trade with spain or not, i cannot seem to remember". Dreamer didnt handle the trading for the caravan, all he ever did for his people were play for whomever would listen.

Dreamer listened to the mans question and relaxed, it was good to find a person who didn't push something. Dreamer knew he was a pusher, if he wanted to know something he would find the answer. It was good there were people who weren't like him, people like scarlet.
The thought of scarlet made Dreamer blush for a minute, so he turned his head. When he turned it back, a pitcher of ale was in front of him. Dreamer looked at Dante and saw him chugging his down. Again, not wanting to ruing anything, Dreamer took a sip of the ale.
Dreamer had drunk some alcohol before, it was apart of growing up. He had never had such a drink that burned his throat though, and he coughed. He placed the drink down and coughed for a moment, his eyes watering. "Not what i remember it tasting like" he said, indicating the ale.
He cleared his throat for a moment and looked up at the man. For a split second he could see him with both eyes, but Dreamer quickly covered his golden one with his hair. He breathed relief at catching it, and hoping to distract Dante he answered his question, "Ive been all around Camelot and beyond a way's". Dreamer had been to so many places, he had started to forget their names.

Where did you learn to play like that
Dreamer looked up and smiled at the stranger sitting beside him. He had a hood over his face at first, but soon took it off. Dreamer took in the mans appearance, long brown hair with matching eyes and pale skin. He was an average looking man, maybe a little tall, but everyone had their own special traits.
The thought of that made Dreamer happier his hair was covering his golden eye. It made him self cautious when people stared at it, and he didn't want to seem squeamish to the first normal person he met. "I watched the other musicians in my caravan and learned from them" it was a poor excuse, and a rather simple one.
Dreamer piped up and sat straight and continued to talk, "I did other things to, i danced and a san...well i danced" . Dreamer didn't want people knowing about his singing ability, he wasn't sure if his magic would always come out when he sang or not. Dreamer extended his hand to the stranger, "I'm Dreamer".

Dreamer walked up to the stage and turned to look at the crowd. Not many were too interested in his performance at the moment. Dreamer knew he was going to have to change that to land the job. Placing his packs down, Dreamer raised his violin to his shoulder and the bow to the strings.
The first note was struck high, as to surprise the crowd, and then he moved himself down to deep tone to begin. He paused then for a moment, withdrawing his bow, and then began to let loose. His bow danced across the strings, his fingers hitting the notes in perfect harmony. Dreamer was putting all of his fear, excitement, worry, and joy into the song.
Dreamer had his eyes closed the whole performance, letting himself become lost in the music. He was a gypsy at heart and this is what they did, they performed with their own spontaneous style of music. No sheets of low octaves and high notes, just the music. When he was finished he let the note ring until it died. When he did, he opened his eyes to an awe struck crowd.
After a split second of worry, The crowd started to clap at an alarming level. Dreamers cheeks grew red as he ducked his head and bowed. He put his violin back within its sack, the bow placed neatly to the side of it. He withdrew from the stage and made his way back to backroom door. It was slightly easier to move threw the crowd now since people noticed him.
He met the Owner at the backdoor, he had been watching. He just stared down at him for a minute before saying, "There's just something about you boy, i haven't seen a crowd go wild like that in awhile....your hired" with that he turned and walked threw the door. Dreamer could hear the owners voice rise up so he could hear, "You better not be late!". Dreamer smiled and spin in a circle, letting his fist punch the air in triumph.
Dreamer made his way to the bar and the bartender smiled, "Welcome to the crew son". He then moved to grab a pair of ales and pass them along to a waitress on the other end. Dreamer just let his head drop and rest on the bar, a wide smile spread across his face.

Dreamer walked into the tavern formally known as "The Ram". It was a busy place full of bustling men looking for a good time. Gambling and alcohol conquered the tables of men being served by women with enough cleavage out to smother a baby. In Dreamers quick assessment, it wasn't exactly the quietest place he had been.
Dreamer had a tough time maneuvering around the room to approach the bar. He had almost been knocked over three times, and had only evaded spilling a whole tray full of ale a woman was holding all over her. That last one might had given him some cheers from other men around the room, but not exactly what he was looking for.
He was finally able to arrive at the bar, but had to wait at least ten minutes before he caught the bartender’s attention. As he prepared a round of beverages he looked at Dreamer with a hint of humor in his eyes. "Aye, aren't you a little young to be looking for a good time ere?" he said. Dreamer was quick to fire back, "I aint here to suckle on a tit or drown myself in your finest, like these other men here, I’m here to play" He raised his violin from the sack.
The mans eyebrows raised slightly in surprised, but a smile appeared none the less, "Aye, you’ll have to see to the owner in the back, go on ahead and tell him Smith sent you with a recommendation boy". Dreamer nodded and made his way behind the bar and in threw the back door.
The back room was a small, dimly light, room. All it held was one rack of barrels, a cellar door in the corner, and a single desk with a man behind it. The man was busy writing on a few papers for a moment before he noticed he had company. The man stared at Dreamer for a second before signaling him to come forward. Dreamer did so, and looked at the man square in the eye.
The room was silent for a moment before the man bellowed, "Well Blast It tell me why you are here!” That caught Dreamer by surprise for a moment, so he was quiet. The man sighed, and Dreamer hurried to answer his question, "I'm here to play sir, to earn some coin as your entertainer" he pulled out his violin and said, "Smith gives his recommendations".
The man buried his head in his hands sighed even deeper, "That man smith! If he wasn't the best bartender in Camelot i would have him kicked out for sending me every entertainer with an instrument". Sweat ran down Dreamers forehead as he waited for the man’s decision, which didn't seem to be leaning in his favor at the moment. The man surprised him though, he lifted his head and said "Well?” Dreamer was perplexed, "Well what sir?”
The man gave an irritated huff, "Well aren't you going to play, I cant have an entertainer whom I don't even know can play or not". Dreamer hurried to grab his bow and place his violin on his shoulder when the man bellowed again, "Not Here you dimwit! Out there! You have to play out there". Dreamer tilted his head and gathered his things to hurry out into the tavern's stage.

"Thank you Merlin, i owe you one" Dreamer stated with a smiled. He kept his hand clenched to his stomach for a minute before turning around. He advanced to the door and was about to leave before turning and waving goodbye. With that, he shut the door behind him and left to take his next step into his new life in Camelot.
Opening and closing the door of the Magic guild, which he was a proud new member of, gave Dreamer a rush. He was apart of something great in the world. He would take part in future events and adventures that he could only have dreamed of days earlier.
Walking down the busy streets of Camelot, Dreamer didn't even care that people were whispering about him. Let them whisper, it was the best day in his life, no one was going to ruin that for him.

"Merlin"
Dreamer repeated the name over again to himself. He smiled after a moment, "I enjoy your name, it fits you very well" he commented. Like Dreamer's given name, it seemed to fit him somehow. It was like looking in the mirror and wondering what your name should be, merlin was spot on.
He was leaving when he stopped at the door for a moment and then turned. He walked back to the desk and smiled at Merlin, "I'm sorry i almost forgot" he said, "I'm new to this city, do you know where i can find room and board? Maybe even somewhere i might earn some coin" he rubbed his stomach "I forgot to eat breakfast this morning at the caravan, i was too excited"
