*The heavy smell of alcohol and dense, salty foods hit the young girl like an armoured horse, Cecilia shaking her head slightly to wake herself up as she ventured inside. She'd only wandered past inns and taverns such as these, having been far too young to enter one before. Now, only a year over the legal age and finally out on her own, she felt confident enough to try it. The grip on her staff tightening as she walked inside, her eyes full of wonder.*

A bellowing laughter came from the bar as a steppe told a joke the one Cherny Kuznetz found particularly funny. Cherny smacked his hand on the bar a couple times as he laughed, patting his elf buddy on the shoulder. As his laughter subsided he took a swig from his mug in front of him, finishing it off. He splayed some coins on the counter and requested another with a surprising politeness. As he did this, he was able to notice a woman entering the tavern. She appeared to be new, so, he decided to offer her some kindness.
"Aye, lass!" He called out to her, splaying his hand towards her direction. "Would ye like a drink?"

"A drink? I suppose so..."
*She replied thoughtfully, clearly not entirely understanding the question as she approached him. Clearly, she had never drank a drop in her life.*

"Lovely! Waiter!" He called out, pulling some more coins from his wallet.
"Sorry, but when ye bring out my drink can ye bring one fer this lovely lady as well?" He splayed the coins on the counter for the bartender to collect and smiled. As the bartender came by and scooped up the coins Cherny turned back to Cecilia.
"Say, what's yer name, lass? I've ne'er seen you 'round here b'fore." He spoke in slurred half-shouts. Though, it was almost necessary to speak this loud, the bar *Was* On the rowdier side.

*The young woman cringed mildly at his yelling, also noting how it was necessary in the jovial din of the tavern. She sat opposite him, trying not to bump the person beside her as she gave her name, the mild anxiety she had exuded all but fading into her excitement.*
"I'm Cecilia! No, I haven't been out this far before - my first time leaving my family's place without them, actually! Who might you be, sir?"
