[QUOTE="Jodo Kast, post: 206431, member: 4810"] [SIZE=3][B][COLOR=yellow]... HAVE A NICE DAY![/COLOR][/B][/SIZE] Baydo and Tevy sat at a table made from a large jungle tree.

Several animal fat lanterns hung from the ceiling, sputtering away and providing meager light. Banks of wind chimes hung near the door, tinkling softly in the warm, humid breeze.
