Dorothy
*She reached forward and grabbed the glass of moonshine. Her eyes looked over it before she raised the glass and downed the contents in one go, chugging it all. She put the glass back down and let out a quiet humming sound, contemplating the taste.*

*She looked over to Sol as she asked the question.* "Mmh? Anushken. I'm from a small tribe of my people out from the east. Then I moved to Mipmi and now i've got my own place."
Mary
That drew a little wince from Sol, who was watching. Mostly from recollecting the previous time she had downed several much smaller shots and woke up the second day with a terrible headache.

"Mhm, I see." Another sip of her own. A little burst of fruit raced up her tongue, and for the moment that was all she was occupied with, the lingering aftertaste.
Robert
*The smaller woman seemed slightly disappointed in some way. Hopefully it was something minor that could be fixed.*

"That's quite a long ways away. A traveler?"

*Hu Lang's eyes widened as the brayer downed the moonshine in one gulp. It was strong, much stronger than regular alcohol. If vodka was about 40%, this was perhaps 80%. However, there was a hint of sweetness to it, almost as if there was a hint of orange.*

*Sol's ale on the other hand was a mix of flavors. Peach, lemon, perhaps berries? It was difficult to tell.*

"I'm assuming you're an adventurer, miss uh..."
Jerry
The Ursinoid entered the tavern and cast a quick glance around. There seemed to be plenty of other patrons around. It was hard to tell who's who in the crowd, despite her commanding height of 6'7" Providing a comfortable view over most other customers. She made her way towards the bar to grab a drink.
Robert
"Welcome to the Blooming Lotus! What can I get you today?"

*Seems like she was getting some good business, even after happy hour.*
Dorothy
*Sivne nodded to Hu Lang, letting out a hum.* "Warlord. Tarkhan. I don't care too much about what people call me. My name is Sivne, though." *She then looked over her shoulder and waved Sonja over.* "Mmh, here she is." *She said with a slight smirk, pushing the glass back towards Hu.* "I'll have a beer."
Robert
"Hm? You two know each other?"

*Hu Lang accepted the glass, pouring a golden, bubbling beer before serving it back to Sivne. It was one typically found, made from high quality grain.*

"A classic, huh?"
Jerry
It didn't take more than a moment to spot her traveling companion. The Ursinoid lumbered over, giving Sivne and the others a wave in turn. She found a seat next to the larger Brayer woman, before giving their bartender a nod.

"...I'll have one of those too." Sonja requested, providing little explanation to Sivne about her apparent tardiness.
Dana
*The man the myth the short king Silnari arrived to the tavern. He was a small fellow of 5ft with medium blond sandy hair and bright green eyes. Long ears even for a Silnari, skin slightly tan as he seems to be a Scralian in decent. Seemingly a peasant of some kind based on his outfit, not currently in his mercenary gear or carrying that many weapons except for a small dagger he honestly just looks like your average fellow.*

*Curious and bright eyes scanned the tavern as he walked in before he spotted two familiar faces. An overjoyed smile gracing his lips as he waved to Sonja and Sivne. Without a word the lad moved over to sit with them, sitting on the other side of Sivne opposite Sonja and giving the large brayer a mirthful wink as he got comfortable. Now he just glanced about... Wondering what he'll have. Though the two that know him can probably guess he'll be getting water as always.*
Mary
*Oh, wow. What are the chances indeed?*

Sol raised her brows over her half-finished drink, gaze darting between the Brayer and the Ursinoid. The ears and horns were pretty obvious...

*Three animals walk into a bar...*

There was no punchline to that one, but Sol had to cover her sudden grin anyway as she glanced away, into the opposite direction.

*Ah, another one joined in?*

She eyed the new arrival with much curiosity.
Dorothy
*She picked up her beer and took a swig of it, nodding to Sonja as she sat down. She glanced over her shoulder and saw Shaw. A brief smile crossed her face as she raised her tankard a little.*
"Took your time." 
*She remarked, reaching over and ruffling his hair with a bigger smile.* 
"Go on, order, i'm paying."
*A Bull lady, a bear lady and a twink elf walk into a bar, and they all know each other, curious.*
Robert
"Hi, welcome to the Blooming Lotus! What can I get for you today?"

*Man she was really sounding like an automaton at this point. Her sharp eyes quickly read Shaw's body language; he was clearly familiar with both the bear and Sivne. Pouring the bear a beer, food quickly comes over.*

"Porkchop for Sivne and small curry for, uh, the smaller miss."

*The curry was not indeed small. In fact, it seemed almost average sized. Chunks of beef, carrot and onion dotted the beautiful sauce, paired with fluffy white rice.*

*The porkchop was covered with a slight glaze, sprinkled with sesame seeds and green onion. A side of greens on the side with sliced garlic on top accompanied it.*
Dana
*The man had a bright smile on his face. He momentarily glanced towards Sol and gave her a friendly wave, the lad was certainly friendly that much was clear.*

*He gave a sheepish smile at the comment of time, slightly nervous as he did spend a little more time than necessary going about his wanderings. Though that tension is banished as the hair ruffle is given, leaning into it as he scoffs and just gently bats the brayers hand away with a chuckle. Though he does give a small ruffle back to her arm as he cant exactly reach her hair.*

*He'd just glance towards the bartender, quietly speaking up as he mutters his order* "W-water please?" *He might order something else... He didnt want to be a patron not paying... Well Sivne was paying as usual for him. He'd gesture to the small curry as well and raise a finger insinuating he'd like one as well. Not that he was too hungry but Sivne could afford it really.*

*He'd then glance at the other patrons of the bar, wondering just what they're up to.*
Jerry
Sonja bid the bar tender a nod of thanks as her drink was poured. It didn't take long before she started sipping the beer. Her arrival was hardly the end of new customers though, as a quick glance informed her. The bear recognized Shaw, a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips. She knew she was in good company amongst her traveling companions.

"Took a wrong turn," Sonja admitted to Sivne. "And then the guards didn't like the look I gave them." The Ursinoid shook her head. Honestly, what was so suspicious about a giant, heavily armed bear woman wandering about? Thankfully the matter had been resolved without bloodshed. "I'm here now."

The rather meek words from Shaw made Sonja raise an eyebrow. "Here, try something stronger." She offered him her own mug of beer.
Robert
"...Water? There's so many good options! Are you *Suuuureee*?"

*Hu Lang smiled as the bear offered the Silnari a beer. Seems like he'd be getting a good taste. Maybe he'd order his own.*

"Hana, one more small curry!"
Dana
*He chuckled at the mention of the guards not liking the look of Sonja... His friends really did have a problem with looking intimidating. Double edged sword he supposed with being the giant scary warriors that they are.*

*Though as the bear offered him her mug he just looked down at it hesitantly. Pursing his lips as he sighs and gives into the offer. He... Wasnt one to really touch alcohol often. As the mug was brought up to his lips his face scrunched up in a grimace and he took a large sips that quickly caused him to sputter and cough as he moved the mug away and just held it back for the bear. Face slightly red and a taste that made him almost gag. Never was one for the taste of it. Gods forbid the Silnari drink a full mug lest he get utterly intoxicated.*

*He shook his head and just slid the mug back to the bear and gave her a thumbs up and a nod of the head that said he'd had enough. As for Tian Hua's question he once more nodded, quite certain about his choices.*
