[QUOTE="Jago, post: 6970055, member: 6855130"] Dominic frowned slightly, continuing to attend to the stain that simply did not exist. On the one hand, the girl [I]sounded[/I] out of place: her accent was too precise, too clipped. She sounded like one of those high-born bastards on the Celestinas, despite her clothing being very plain. Perhaps a Baron's daughter in disguise? Regardless, she looked lost and ... well, harmless, ultimately. On the other hand, harmless girls in bars caused trouble in Fossice on a routine basis, and Dominic was making a killing in silver off of Lucien, especially now that he was grounded. In fact, Dominic was happy to know that with the city quarantined, he would be pulling in golden [I]ducs[/I] by the bagful: merchants with nowhere to go and plenty of coin tended to spend it on one of three things, and liquor was certainly one. But they were unreliable, and Lucien without a ship was a steady stream of income. Decisions. [COLOR=darkslategray]" Look, so long as you ... keep whatever business you have to a hush,"[/COLOR] he relented slowly, [COLOR=darkslategrey]" He's right over there. But I'm going to need you to buy a drink at least; can't afford having you drive out one of my best customers without getting something in return."[/COLOR] He tapped the bar with his finger to indicate where the money should go, while his chin and eyes went towards the back of the tavern where Lucien sat. In the meantime, the bar was becoming a little more crowded as others filed inside in groups: sailors and merchants who had just found out they had a long wait ahead of them and heavy purses. Dominic grinned at these new patrons heartily. It was going to be a profitable day. [/QUOTE]
