you sit at a tavern, staring into your drink as you're thinking until you notice that a black and white cat with two sets of drums on his side and a bagpipe on his back is staring at you and the people sitting next to you is a dragonborn who is currently contemplating life and a depressed looking human man with a double bladed in his suitcase and the cat walks over to you guys

Thalamu: hi! uh, are you 3 new around here? He sounded nervous

Zoot: no, why do you ask?
