Verite grins at me and says, "Fate can be kinda mysterious like that." I laugh, "Oh, Verite, you took the words right out of my mouth," and I laugh again before continuing, "Sometimes, Fate's not so mysterious though. People seem to ignore the obvious a lot of times."
She agrees to show me around the carnival and I'm so pleased that I give her a little hug. Melania arrives, tripping but catching all the drinks safely. She sits down, saying "Probably couldn't do that again if I tried," and I beam at her, replying, "Oh, I don't know. I think you could, with enough incentive." And I salute her with my shot of whiskey, clinking my drink with Verite's cider and Melannia's Snake Bite.
We down the shots and Melania grins as she slides her shot-glass towards me, "That, please." I fill the glasses, one for her and one for me as I smile sweetly. "Oh and he said he was from the Abbey on the other side of town? Brother Nanse-kam was his name. Real nice guy with a real nice smile." I smile, tickled at the thought of meeting someone from the Abbey, "It sounds like he was lovely. Was he?"
Downing my shot, I refill it and reach for the second Snake Bite and drinking that one as well. "Firewhiskey is the strongest liquor we have here and it knocks men twice your size under the table pretty quickly but if you can match them, shot for shot, we tend to sell more liquor. I don't do it often but when I do, it's more fun than it should be." I can't help the knowing smile that escapes and I look at them both and chuckle.
Trying to not giggle as I explain, I take a breath and begin, "You'll get paid every week and I provide room and board along with whatever liquor you might want. The rooms above mine are being renovated but I have a place to sleep, if you need one." I down the Aces & Eights shot, counting myself as one ahead of Melania. "We have an employee meeting every two weeks and we also taste-test any new liquors that we have."
"You'll also run some errands during the day. The boys take care of the deliveries so you won't have to worry about that." I pause, thoughtful before continuing, "If you hear of any carpenters or anything like that, let me know. The one carpenter upstairs is already overwhelmed." I turn to Verite and give a sweet smile as I ask, "Do you know anyone from the carnival like that, carpenters or builders? If you do, could you send them my way?" How does she get her hair that amazing color? Maybe I should visit the salon and see what it's all about. Looking at Melania again, I ask, "Do you have any questions"?
