Verite is so pretty with her wild hair and leather clothes, and so is dark, sharp-scented Melania and I giggle as I notice the male patrons watching us closely as both of them talk about business names in town. I have to add my bit, "I sympathize. The Tavern was already named when I took over too. In fact, they said I had to keep it and made it part of my agreement. It's not a bad name but, oh! the looks I get when I tell people I'm the owner are very amusing."
I comment and giggle about men, liquor and pretty girls and Melania winks, laughing as she says, "Yeah, it also gives a girl time to get them nice and soused." Verite is laughing too, as she adds, "Assuming that's what you want from them!" Oh, these two are too funny and I laugh along with them, commenting "Oh, that's terrible," as I laugh harder.
Melania walks away and I ask Verite about her shop. She takes a moment and says, "Opened up in early August, bout the 7th I think." I lean forward, placing a hand on her arm as I say, "If no one else has said it, then I will: Welcome to Excolo, Verite. And since we're both on Silk Road, please feel free to visit anytime." I look at her intently, trying to decide what I should tell her. "Town is strange and sometimes, dangerous. I've learned a few tips and if you need anything, anything, you come and see me."
I leave it at that and recall that she's a tattooist and I wonder if she understands the sacred nature of her work. She has a few markings of her own and I touch one gently, marveling at the skilled design as I smile and ask, "Who did these? They're beautiful."
Melania returns, bright smile and a friendly voice as she asks for our order. I like her face and unless she messes up badly, I'm hiring her. Plus, I think the patrons will like her too. Verite orders first, "Hi! C'n I get a cider?" I smile, informing both girls, "We have three kinds here: Candied Apple, Mabon and Poisoned Apple."
I look at Melania, a sweet smile in place as I give my order, "I'd like three shooters: two Snake Bites and an Aces & Eights, along with a bottle of Firewhiskey and another of Violet Charm." I look at the menu again and add as an afterthought, "Oh! And cider for me, too. I'd like one of each variety please." It's a big order and if she can remember even half of it, she's doing better than most.
