Leanna was already swirling the ruby red wine across her tongue when the burly man revealed the special ingredient. 

The liquor poured down her throat and she looked over at Tarias as he ate some of the meat. Mad Manny laughed as his beard jingled and Leanna focused on the bells as they swayed and danced.

"The Lotus." She picked up a slice of the meat and placed it in her mouth. She was too busy enjoying the sensation and flavors that she didnt notice Lucy begin to unlace her boots and slide the leather down her thighs. Her body began to sink into the pillows.

"Have you been here before Tarias?" She swirled another mouthful of the wine as the man chortled and laughed. 

She wondered if the woman saw her full coinpurse or maybe she was just very friendly. 

Lucy giggled and sat in front of both Tarias and Leanna. Her voice was light and lilting, "You can experience all sorts of things here at the Lotus."

Seeing Leanna getting comfortable, Tarias was struggling interally between cautioning her or simply giving in and relaxing. Less than an hour before, they had been chased out of the Siren's Song, and now they were comfortably ensconced in the Lotus— Leanna was even barefoot now as the topless woman worked her feet out of the boots. 

He sipped warily from his wine, nodding to the affirmative to Leanna's question. "Yes, but... It was different..." He said hesitantly.

This made the big madman laugh even more. "The Lotus is *Always* Changing!" He declared, and people all around him raised their drinks and cheered in agreement; they were quickly becoming the center of attention, causing the half-elf even more discomfort.

And then the inevitably occurred. Through the open archway leading to the foyer came two big sailors, one of whom was none other than Banderwalls himself. His counterpart, a leaner, younger man with a jagged gash of a wound on his cheek, pointed frantically in the direction of where Leanna and Tarias sat. "There they are!" He yelled accusingly.

Tarias rose to his feet, unsure if they should now start running again, or if this was where they should make some kind of stand, but it was the Mad Manny who raised one beefy open hand out to stop them as they rushed forward. "Now hold up, boys!" He called out in his boisterous voice. "While I'm sure you've a grievance of some kind, let's not forget your manners here in the Mad Lotus— ya don't wanna be startin' anything ya ain't willing to finish!" There was a dangerously mad look in the big man's eyes that made even the angry look on the injured pirates faces hesitate. 

And suddenly, Tarias recalled the main rule of the Lotus: no fighting permitted. It was the *One rule* The kept it as a bastion of security in the island of lawless pirates and cutthroats.

Leanna leanee back into the pillows as the topless Lucy sat by her thighs. She had barely registered the bellowing voices. Her full attention was on Lucy as her curls bounced across her nipples and Leanna opened her mouth as the waitress brought her a piece of fruit.

"Open wide darling." The pretty Lucy cooed. The fruit was sweet and dripped of honey. The waitress giggled as Leanna inadvertently sucked her fingers. "Oh Manny. I like this one... Oh."

Lucy stopped feeding the noble and scowled at the newcomers. It was only then that Leanna saw Tarias was standing. She reached to her side for her dagger, but spied Tarias and the big man shushed Banderwalls and his friend.

She had caused trouble, but the brute deserved it. And full of wine and an enhanced confidence she rose to her bare feet.

"Mr. Banderwall has no manners." She scoffed. "But... If he behaves... I will buy him and his friend a round on me."

Lucy slipped inbetween Leanna and Tarias. She slipped her cheek on Leanna's neck. "Isnt that a mighty fine offer fellas."
