Watching the woman work, William wondered if she was the only one who worked here as she moved from the counter, to the tables, and back again. She was doing quite well all things considered, and even the few men calling out to her in an offensive manner seemed to be ignored. It almost appeared as though something else were on her mind as she glanced towards one of the tall windows, his question pulling her from her thoughts.<br/><br/>“I did not mean to disturb you.” William started. “But it is rather convenient that you have such a connection to the man.” If there was any distaste in her words, William didn’t hear it. When she offered to go and fetch Serlo, William nodded, taking a seat while he waited.<br/><br/>He wasn’t waiting long when the older man approached, taking his hand and thanking him for taking on the job. He expressed that many hunters refused to hunt the dragons anymore for fear of being injured, maimed, or killed. Finding a man willing to do so was becoming harder and harder.<br/><br/>“I assure you, this will not be the first beast I have fallen.” William answered, a light smile on his face. They discussed payment next, and when that was settled and Serlo had disappeared to fetch the first sum of coins, William turned his attention to the doorway to the backroom. He had watched the young woman disappear through there and not come out, and he wondered if she had been listening in. It wouldn’t be the first time he had caught such acts, the ladies usually swooning over the hardened dragon hunter here to save the village, hoping to be swept off their feet when he returned. That had yet to happen. Curious though, William looked around to make sure no one was paying attention as he slipped behind the counter and knocked on the doorframe.<br/><br/>“Miss, I’m afraid there are some thirsty men out here looking for your services. I would hate for you to get in trouble for not fulfilling your duties.” He said, a smile on his face.
