Wind	The night was young and the dockside tavern was rowdy with folks getting settled after the days labours. Wind sat at a back table with five of her crew, the air around them was different folks seemed to give them their space. that said they were drinking abd talking peacefully enough.
Mountain Thrower	Mountain Thrower's arrival has about the same amount of subtle care as a Yeddim deciding to tromp through a herd of sheep. First a massive hand, gnarled with muscle, reaches under the lentil of the main door of the tavern. Then it presses upwards and there's aloud creaking and cracking sound as the entire front door is pressed upwards and widened along with the roof itself, lifting higher and higher to feed the immensity of the brute beginning to enter. When high enough he -still- ducks low and begins to squeeze his vast body inward like some sort of wyld-muscled ox trying to squeeze through a door meant for a small dog. When he finally makes it, it's at expense of much of the door as he straightens up to his full height and practically fills up the front of the dive. "Everyone!" he booms, teeth big and full as he spreads his massive arms wide, "Everyone can relax. For -I- am here!" A few non descript low lifes are with him and others in the dive seem to recognize him as a nervous air enters the room with some cheering and others quietly pushing away from the behemoth to grant him room and avoid to much interaction by way of eye contact. It seems quiet time is over.
Wind	Wind looks up as the giant enters the bar giving him a careful look over before gesturing to her crew to relax. A man comes over and there's a quiet conversation before anyone watching closely would see him place a pouch of coins on the table. Wind then signals two of her crew to follow him and another to go get another round of drinks.
Mountain Thrower	"Hoh. The crowd is hard today." chortles the behemoth though the amusement in his deep accented voice is almost more like the amusement of a Siaka at smaller scattering fish. "Right, right, this is about last time isn't it. I get a little drunk and forget myself and then everyone blames me for all the problems in Creation." He takes several heavy footsteps forward, footfalls literally shaking and rumbling the floor with the force of his weight as he sweeps his gaze over the room. Despite his antics there is a certain sense of intensity to his eyes as if he's hunting for something or someone and as he wades through the crowds, towering stomach over them with his head nearly brushing against the lower rafters, he slows and then swivels his gaze towards Wind's direction. "What 'ave we 'ere..?"
Wind	Wind seems unperturbed as she puts her feet up on the table, accepting the drink offered as she meets the giant's gaze. "what you have is a buisness woman enjoying a drink with her friends and co workers, who's asking?"
Mountain Thrower	"The name's Mountain Thrower." responds the behemoth as he invites his improbably huge body down to a seat by means of occupying a table just opposite her own. His impact causes several drinks to upend nearby and he leans forward, resting an impossibly muscled arm across his table like slapping down some sort of massive slab of meat. It's a deliberate action though, to let her get an even closer look at his physique and his arm bulges like boulders fighting with a herd of bull-yeddim under his tanned and lightly hairy flesh. "Strongest Man In The East." he adds as if the size of physique didn't say it all. "Perhaps you've heard o'me?" Now probably -not-, at least around these parts. "O'course y'ave, luv. Just being shy and all. G'head and give 'em a squeeze if y'want. If you like it maybe -we- can talk some business."
Wind	Wind continues to keep eye contact ignoring the outstretched arm. She takes a long drain from her cup before speaking, "I can't say that I have but I won't dispute your claim. So tell me, what manner of business interests "the strongest man in the east"?"
Mountain Thrower	"I like breakin' things and getting rich breakin' things." responds the brute as he pulls his arm back and settles it under him to support his prodigious weight. He leans forward, creaking the floor and the table slightly as he looms nearby like a sequoia having a conversation with a stalk of wheat. "Y'know. Simple stuff like that. And other sorts o'fun but I probably best save that conversation fer another time." "He inclines his head slightly, thick neck bulging abit as he peers at her with squinted eyes, "But a fine upstandin' business woman like yerself..'wouldn' happen to need anything broken..would ya?"
Wind	Wind looks past mountains shoulder and motions for her two returning crew to come join her before leaning forward. "I have uses for all manner of skill sets. You could audition if you like Liu and Moto here have just returned with the location of some third rate thugs muscling local buisness' for protection money. thing is they've gotten greedy demanding three times more than usual so you teach these scumbags some humility and I'll make sure to have a spot for you on future jobs."
Mountain Thrower	The brute scoffs a little bit and leans back. "Hm, perhaps I do that and take the money find for myself, hmm? Mmm..I thought you more ambitious then that. I'm looking for someone to share in exploits. I've been the 'muscle' for a group for quite some time. I'm looking to build bigger." he makes a gesture with his huge arm, sending a quaking flex rippling up his huge body, gigantic pectorals straining the seams of his shirt and popping them. "Stronger." He then lays his hand on the table, "But...for you.. I do this. Call it..an act of friendship."
Wind	Wind sits back once more an easy smile on her face, "Right now all I have is talk but you do this and I'll see that you can back it up. this is a small job for a small town but there's bigger things coming and I'll need talented people at my side." Finishing her drink Wind slams the mug down before offering her hand.
Mountain Thrower	"Fair enough." responds Mountain Thrower, grinning slightly as Wind speaks the truth. Talk is cheap after all and that's all they have so far between each other. "You speak truthfully." He reaches out a massive hand to allow her to grasp it as opposed to him exerting any force. "Very well. We have a deal. I will go discipline your thugs."
Wind	Wind deftly leverages her strength to actually shake the giants hand. "Much obliged, Liu and Moto here will show you where they're holed up and my crew will back you up if it looks like you need a hand."
