[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 6687769, member: 23484"] The door to the reserved room in the back of the tavern was ajar, and beneath the sign labeled Captain's Quarters, identifying the room for patrons, Barrington is canoodling discretely -- more or less -- with Polly. When he notices the others approach, their faces separate and Prydwen discretely absents herself and goes to wiping tables in the main room, her eyes on the floor as if he did not want to stand accused of anything. As he watched her go, Barrington wondered if she were smiling as he was. But now to business, he thinks. He didn't know how del Corazon would respond when she saw him. Indeed he was relatively certain that she had no knowledge of his participation in the fight the previous night, but surely they were both tired. He turned his back anyways and walked fully into the rented room, where he sat, leaning against his barrel of limes. His jacket is still partially unbuttoned, Polly's handiwork.
