===An Unlikely 'Couple'===
An unusual duo enters the tavern. The first is what looks to be a maid, judging from her dress style. Even in the less than optimal lighting it is immediately obvious from pointed ears, oversize incisors and green skin she has some level of orcish blood to her. She walks backwards and leads an older gentleman in by the hand, pulling firmly, almost forcefully.
.....Older Gentleman................The Maid............
"No, this isn't the place," the older gentleman complains.
"Yes, it is," the maid retorts, "Did you not see the sign?"
The gentleman relents. Running his fingers through his beard, thinking. "I didn't think it would be so... seedy."
"We're trying to hire help, not join a social club, Mr Moretti. She said some of the best come here, and we don't even need the best," the maid counters, wary eyes scanning the shadows for likely folks to bolster her argument.
Fine cloak swishing the other direction, the gentleman switches directions, stepping for the door, "Well I don't see anyone looking for a job here..."
Without pause, the orc blooded woman puts one finger in each side of her mouth and whisles, LOUDLY. With almost as much volume, she addresses everyone in the bar, "Mr Moretti here is paying a 100 gold crown retainer, plus a completion fee, for help cleaning his estate of vermin!"
Mr Moretti turns and shoots a dirty look at his employee. The maid merely shurgs. Moretti sighs... deeply.
