Sonya grinned as the verbal sparring came to an end. She had no doubts that she had lost the battle but won the war... Which, let's face it was always the objective. If the bulk of your army lies dead or captive on the field, but you have a knife to the enemy king's throat, who has won? She chuckled as her familiar made cosy with her former lover. She shook her head at the con trick that DeMain was trying to pull with the copper coins. She wasn't falling for it at all. "I'm a witch, dear. I know copper and silver and gold by the smell of them. Now if you want a Double Bock, I'll have two more coppers off you, and I'll only charge you for the one room. Your daughter is welcome to spend the night in my room if she so desires..."  Sonya winks at Aelene again.<br/><br/>"Ah, yes, I knew I recognised you from somewhere." She giggled, setting her breasts bouncing in her blouse. "I have to wonder what your birth-name was, after all no-one would call their child 'Lightweight Tomorrow' in Farlandish, unless they were very strange..."<br/><br/>And then Aelene spoke up. Sonja laughed and put on a mock scowl. "Over ninety...  A curse on you, elf, I'm not that old!" The curse rebounded off the Elf's charm, exactly as Sonja had intended, and she caught it nimbly in her chubby fingers and extinguished it before it could do any harm. "Now let's see... It was when I was on my first witching assignment after graduating from Wyvern Academy. I was supposed to put this entire village under a sleep spell for sixteen years while a child grew to adulthood. I don't remember why. Anyway, you were there, with all your silver charm, and I fell hopelessly in lust. Mission failed, a white mark on my record, and hmmm... I do believe it was about seventy five years ago..."<br/><br/>She sniggered and poured Demain the beer he'd requested. "But you seem  to enjoy my company, Aelene. I've seen you in here at least twice in various guises, since I retired and opened the place. And I recall you interfering with at least two of my missions since that first one before I retired..."<br/><br/>She turned her attention back to Leger. "So what brings you to these parts, Mister Tomorrow?"
