[QUOTE="Naathez, post: 2024015, member: 17791"] [b]At the Two-handled Mug Inn[/b] Livia politely smiles at the gaping-mouthed Viknij. Actually, her cheeks are aching with smiling at passersby looking at her ears. "Do you mind?" she asks, motioning to enter the inn. Viktor nods, shakes his head, and follows her inside the building... immediately sitting at the first free table. Pointed ears, of all things. After bringing him his lunch (fish soup, more bread and more beer, he's one of those customers who don't seem to fuss too much), the Innkeeper turns to see Livia sitting at another table, and walks towards her. "May I help you, lass?" she asks, with a hearty smile. Livia's diplomatic training immediately kicks into action. "I.. I think you may, ma'am. I would... like, if it's possible.. something to eat... and... and..." The innkeeper sits at Livia's table, lowering her voice. "Are you in trouble, my dear girl?" she asks, her tone immediately growing concerned. Livia nods. "... I am, my good ma'am. I am new to town... just arrived this morning.
