"Right here!" She exclaimed, suddenly popping into the tavern area from the side door that was usually locked. Hurrying over, she immediately prepared a hefty glass of beer for the yelling man and placed it down on the table he was sitting at with Sofia. 
"Already so rowdy and you haven't even had a drink yet?" Her lips curled into a coy smile and she nodded at Sofia's way, before situating herself behind the bar once more to clean some glasses. The woman seemed to really like the tavern and drank a lot, which was something Madeleine supposed helped the business. At the same time, she worried a little for Sofia. People often liked to drown out their sorrows with alcohol, and she could only wonder what hardships the woman had been through to make her drink so much.

*Sofia looked at her with a smile.*
"Well, I like to drink when I'm bored and I can handle a lot of it, so it's alright don't worry about me"
*She looked over to Murgorar*
"He's the one you should worry, he talks real loud most of the time."
*She took a sip of her drink. Sighing afterwards.*
Cora
A brow arched as she watched Sofia closely. Madeleine liked to think that she could tell if someone wasn't in the best of moods, and it seemed like Sofia was exactly that. Leaning forwards, she rested her folded arms on the counter of the bar and smiled at Sofia. 
"I know, I can tell that you handle your alcohol well. Anything in particular that's plaguing you?" 
She asked the question as nonchalantly as she could - the last thing she wanted to do was intimidate Sofia by prying too deep.
Danielle
*Sofia took a big sip of her beer, leaned on the counter and let out a big sigh.*
''My home and familly, it's complicated...'' *She said this looking around her, seeing nobody else but the two of them, Murgorar had left at some point when he had finished a beer or something.*
Cora
There were a lot of big sighs coming from Sofia, and she could understand why. Home and family were important. She wasn't sure of the woman's situation and she didn't want to force her to tell the story and relive what had happened. 
"I don't doubt that it is complicated. Home and family is pretty important. There are plenty of people willing to offer a helping hand. I don't think I can do much, but I *Can* Do this." 
The elf poured another big glass of beer for Sofia. 
"This one's for free."
Danielle
*Sofia chuckled and smiled to the bartender*
''Thanks, it'll be my last for now though''
*She then realized that ever since she got here, she never asked the bartender's name. Which made her feel kinda rude or improper.*
''I never really introduced myself... I'm Sofia Vernimières, Ex-bodyguard and now adventurer, but recently it seems the former keeps coming back anyway.''
*She looked up to her*
''What about you?''
Cora
Madeleine gave her hands something to do - polishing a few glasses with a soft towel. 
"Madeleine Castenas. There's not much I can say about myself other than the fact that I'm just glad to be here, with my own tavern. Pleasure to meet you, Sofia. " 
She extended a dainty hand towards Sofia's way, a polite but friendly smile sitting on her face. Ex-bodyguard and adventurer were the two things Madeleine just wasn't fit for. There was a newfound respect for the woman - she seemed to be brave.
Danielle
*Sofia smiled and shook her hand with her left hand, Madeleine could clearly see that she was missing half her pinky.*
''Happy to meet you, Ms.Castenas! On another note by do you have a name for the tavern?''
Cora
She said nothing about the pinky - that would be far too insensitive, perhaps. With a nod and a bright smile, she turned and pointed to the sign that hung on the wall. 
"The Melting Maple. I named it that because I thought I'd add a nice little twist to some of my drinks by adding maple syrup to them."
Danielle
*Sofia face lightened up*
''Did you put some in mine?''
Cora
A little giggle left her upon seeing the woman's face light up like it was Christmas Day. She shook her head and reached for the glass of beer Sofia had to pour maple syrup into it. 
"Not originally, but now I did!"
Danielle
*Sofia took a great sip of the now maple flavored beer and her eyes were now wide open*
''This is the greatest beer I tasted in my whole life, but then again I always resort to the same kind of beer...'' 
*She took a swig*
''Seriously this is really great! It adds a soothing, sweet taste to the beer without ruining the taste of the beer.''
