His words made sense, and yet they didn’t all at the same time. Abia reached for a stray strand of hair and brushed it behind her ear as she thought about it. While it was true she ran the tavern on her own, she had gotten some help in the past. It was others who play the music and she has had a friend or two tend to the bar when she was off taking care of others. But for the most part, she was indeed alone.<br/><br/>As for Sarah, she already knew why she went unwanted. The locals have known her since she was a child and she just hadn’t grown up. Physically, sure, but she’s so desperate for attention from the opposite sex that it turns other off. Travelers who don’t know her would be the only ones interested, but unless there’s a chance at holding them down, she wouldn’t bother going further than a drink or two. Most who pass through her tavern do just that, pass through.<br/><br/>Reset button? What does he mean by that? “I’m not sure I understand...” her mind wanders as she considers everything he’s said. Her bare feet enjoy the prickly feel of the grass. For a brief moment, she let her mind wander to the possibility of taking walks like this more often, preferably without her boots.<br/><br/>No, something is off with this stroll. She should be back at the tavern, not outside like this. As they continued their walk, the babbling brook faded from earshot and the feeling of the grass beneath her feet shifted back to the cold wood. They were inside the bar portion of her tavern. There were many people, some familiar faces, others she had seen only in her dreams. They were all talking, laughing, dancing, and singing to the musicians playing on stage. But to her and Victor, there was only silence. She moved between the imaginary patrons, looking to find how she could help them. Drinks? Clean a table? She did none of it, but she moved through them as if she were about to. “Listen, Victor, I’m quite busy. Until you stop being so cryptic and start saying what it is that you want to say, I’m afraid I just don’t have the time right now.”
