*The kitsune's ears would perk as he hears a voice call out. Glancing over to the soft spoken slime, he offers a warm yet tired smile, perfect customer care.*
"Welcome in miss. What can I do you for?"

*He asks, glancing the woman up and down. () She dressed the adventure type, although he wondered about how competent she actually was.*
"A room? A drink? Something from the kitchen?"

*He rattled off a few options as any bartender would. The kitsune wasn't dressed like just any bartender however, choosing a fancier style with a white dress shirt and an onyx vest/pants.*
Linda
Returning the smile she made her way over with the heel of her boots causing a silent click to her step, when she did she took off a bag that was swung lazily over her shoulder and settled it on the ground beside her. 

Her pink hand slowly rested on the bars counter top before she spoke again;

"We'll.. I was wondering if I could have a room perhaps.. And a drink" She said softly again, having taken a brief look to his wear and taking it to notice just how well dressed up he was. "I'm Calliope by the way.. Or Cali" She added with a gentle smile again
Cassandra
*Horace nodded, curious at the introduction. Normally people weren't so polite to introduce themselves, but she just made his job a little easier.*
"Cute name. So Miss Calliope, what are we feeling? Something simple like ale, maybe some wine, or a cocktail?"

"As for the room, we've got a couple open options. Couple's rooms, singles, economy."
*The kitsune glances the woman up and down again, seeming to wonder something to himself. His warm smirk breaks into something a little more devious, unable to help himself as he spoke.*
"For you, I could do a room for free."
Linda
Calis hands lightly tapped the counter , curious habit before letting out a silent sharp hum of acknowledgment to the options, though she got curious at the wine option, it's not something she always drank. 

"Mm.. Wine" She said, even raising her pointer finger when she did say so, but when she listened to what the kitsune said a darker shade of pink tainted her cheeks and her eyes drifted away, becoming just noticeably timid, flustered.

"I- oh— that- that would be very sweet of you—" She said, trying her best to not trip over her own words "But— are you sure?— i- I would be guilty if I didn't pay-"
Cassandra
"Well, I won't ask for coin. *But*, if you insist on paying...~"
*He said before laughing to himself as he shakes his head.*
"You're quite easy to fluster. Sorry for the teasing, just a little bored back here."

*He turns to what seems like a wine cupboard, glancing at the selection before choosing a red wine.*
"Try this on for size, not too sweet but not very heavy."
*He says as he slips a wineglass from a hanging slot, placing it in front of the slime and filling it with a delicious looking red substance.*
Linda
Cali watched as he let out a laugh, chuckling just a bit herself. 

"O- oh, please it's okay" She reassured, waving her hand just a bit as she watched him look at the selection, she was curious. She hadn't seen so many drinks in just one place in a while. 

Glancing down at the glass as it had the red liquid her pink slimy hand picked it up and she took a sip, she wasn't much for wine but she liked it. Taking another sip she let out a content smile. After all this was very comforting considering her tiring adventure. 

"I do enjoy This.." She said before reaching to a bag that was clipped onto her bag, having bent over to grab it before letting out a hum 

"A- Ahhh.. How much.. For the drink and the room?" She hummed, looking up at the kitsune
Cassandra
"Mm. Drink's on the house for being a good sport, heh. As for the rooms, depends on your choice. I'd recommend a single for around six silver coins since there's only one of you, and they're quite nice. Economy, less so, but it's good if you're short on coin at around one silver piece."
*The kitsune would lean back against the wall of alcohol, crossing his arms.*

"You can pay extra for room service, breakfast in bed, room cleaning, 'special services'. It's a nice comfort, if you fee like splurging."
Linda
She took another sip of the wine, letting out another hum at the mention it was on the house before letting out another warm smile followed with a nod. 

"Thank you.. I appreciate it" She chimed in "I'll take the single yes.." But before she continued she thought for a bit.. Her adventures are pretty rough, she wouldn't mind the breakfast in bed and room cleaning.... "And the extra does sound nice.. I'll take it" She finished

Just as she did she gathered the money he requested, setting it on the counter neatly
Cassandra
"Mm, that'll be ten silver coins then, and i'll make a note for tomorrow morning about that breakfast."
*He smiles, counting and scooping up the coin into his pockets. He then looks to a board with several tiny hangers on it, some adorning keys but most empty. He then places it in front of the slime, a numbered tag of '11' along with the key.*

"That's all set up then... The room should be ready any time, but don't be afraid to hang around the bar for some drinks. And since you got the 'extra' package, if you have any requests don't be shy to ask. Im happy to help."
Linda
She looked at the key, tilting her head at the number 11 a curious nomber, she then looked up with a nod and the and the same smile 

"I think I'm gonna relax here for a bit more if that's okay.. And then go to the room after.. I haven't had a drink in.." She trailed of for a bit ".. In far too long" She said with a bit of a sigh at the end before taking another sip of the wine, a final one since she already finished it, slowly she slid the glass over, muttering a silent thank you again

She then sat on a.. Wooden stool (or chair depending what's next to the bar that she can sit on) even leaning her chin on her hand, looking around the inn just a bit.
Cassandra
"Of course. I'm happy to make you another drink if you'd like."
*He motions to the empty glass, still holding the wine bottle. Following her gaze across the empty bar.*

"It's quite depressing isn't it... This place is usually packed with drunkards and adventurers, but most have packed up and moved to Mentia. The rest are stuck in their rooms or elsewhere..."
*He sighed, seeming to stretch and pop his neck.*

"I've been stuck here alone all day, save for a wanderer or two like you. "
Linda
She let out a hum, with another smile she nodded "Then I would like another drink.."

Listening to the kitsune as he spoke about the bar her eyes trailed to the empty place again, tilting her head at the mentions of the place Mentia. 

"Oh.. I see.." She started "I hope you wouldn't mind if I do stick for a while then, of course I won't try to bother you a lot, but, traveling for so long specially alone has made me exhausted and I would like to rest for a while.. As long as I'm given" She explained in honesty, muttering the last part whilst looking back at the kitsune.
Cassandra
*The kitsune nods, bringing the bottle to the glass again as another round of wine is poured.,
"You can stay as long as you have coins, and then some if it's up to me."

*The kitsune winked, setting the wine bottle down.*
"I seem to hear that a lot. The road can be a lonely one, especially if you're without a travelling partner. Ever thought about finding one?"
Linda
She watched as the kitsune poured the drink and slowly lifted the glass again haven taken a sip, setting it back down she heard his words and saw the wink before looking away, once again blush tinted her cheeks and she let out a timid chuckle 

"We'll.. I've never tried finding one.." She admitted "I've not made a lot of friends.. Except for a girl in a bamboo forest." She recalled back to the girl.. And the large bird
Cassandra
"A girl in a bamboo forest...? Sounds like quite a story..."
*Horace paused as the girl admitted she hadn't many friends. She certainly seemed the shy type, soft spoken and quiet.*
"You haven't..? Well I'm sure you could find one easily if you tried. Adventuring alone can be dangerous work."
Linda
She nodded with a smile,she wondered if the girl was okay. Before listening to the kitsune, she took a sip of the wine again before answering

"I will be.. Rather honest but.. I'm rather timid when it comes to conversations, I may seem rather relaxed when entering one but.. I do tend to think a lot.." She trailed off before looking up at the kitsune 

"You never mentioned your name" She said softly, letting out a silent hum afterwards
Cassandra
"Oh? I haven't, have I. I'm Horace."
*He smiles, glancing down to his shirt. Usually he had a name tag on, but he supposed he forgot it.*
"I don't doubt the timid part. But that's not necessarily I bad thing to most people."
Linda
She watched as he glanced down before letting out a chuckle, he must of forgotten something. 

"How are you so sure Horace?" She asked, tilting her head to the side just a bit.
Cassandra
"Well, I like to think of myself as pretty normal, and I think it's cute. Sure, it's not ideal, but flaws make us *Us* And all that."
*The kitsune seems to say something actually enlightened for once.*
