“Hmmm, I think I’ve got some around here. Let me go fetch that for you.” Abia smiled brightly, inwardly thanking for at least one normal patron. She disappeared into the kitchen once again, placing hers and Victor’s dirty dishes onto the counter, and grabbing a half empty bottle of rum from one of the cabinets.<br/><br/>When she came back, she grabbed a pint from underneath the counter and poured the rest of what was in the bottle into the cup. “I figure this’d be easier than me pouring you a new glass every few minutes,” she joked and laughed as she slid the drink over to Nathan.<br/><br/>With a sigh, she reached down into her apron pocket and took out a clean rag, upon which she wiped her hands briefly, before rounding the bar counter towards the tables of the tavern. “Well, I better get this place ready for another night. Tonight is going to be a big one, so I want to get this place extra clean. If anybody needs anything, give me a holler.” She nodded at the group before proceeding to wipe down at the various tables with the same rag.<br/><br/>It wasn’t until a thought dawned on her that she stopped just before Victor’s table. “Oh! Erin! Maybe you should ask for one of these gentleman to go with you to the merchant. I might need you to get a few more things to prepare for tonight besides what’s on the list I gave you.” She took out her small stack of parchment from an adjoining pocket from the one that held her rag and placed them on the table. She looked around for something to write with, but after a few pats upon her person, came up empty. Glancing at Victor, she quickly grabbed the coal out of his hands, “sorry! I’ll give it right back.” She apologized as she essentially stole his writing implement. She began mumbling to herself as she quickly scribbled down more things for her to buy for the tavern, “I can’t believe I almost forgot. I’d be out of stock before the night’s out.” As she wrote, she’d pause a few times, tapping her coal covered finger to her cheek as she thought on her stock and what else she would need: on what she was running low, and of what she would need extra than normal.
