Winnie blinked, somewhat visibly surprised at how easy it was to make the man bid to her will. Soon she had overcome an even bigger shock, well-hidden behind her still stark and stern stare down at the human. As he had removed his mask, she finally understood why the girls were so enamoured about the culprits looks. She had to admit, he looked rather ravishing with his green eyes and golden tanned skin, for a human that is. She merely nodded at the words of Zephyr being appalled that he needed to give every single coin to her. There need not to be any words wasted on the matter in Winnie's opinion, if he needed an explanation, Elana would give him one. One he would certainly not enjoy, unless he liked being whipped and chained up to a wall. Nevertheless she raised her eyebrows at his next revelations, wondering if the man had done all his antics of the night, merely to be able to have a conversation with her. She did not bother to play his game, but felt compelled to answer him nonetheless.<br/><br/>''If I had to visit every show and business of the men that visit my whores here, I'd have no time to run my own. Wouldn't I mister Falmore? And I wonder who was it that has given you such a ludicrous idea, I do not like any of my clients, but as long as they pay I put up with their presence in my establishment. You are no different then the other drunken brawls around here, albeit you tend have more affinity in bringing trouble in my tavern. Which makes it unfortunate for you to have my attention right now.''<br/><br/>She choose to ignore the playful sarcasm drenched in his remark about a good old friendship, instead she looked with fury twinkling in her eyes, trying to hide her amusement at the nerve and courage the man was showing. Perhaps she liked him, in a way, like an owner would appreciate its pet. He showed nerve, as to normal people tend to cower in fear around her, she respected those who wouldn't, but only to the point where she would discover if it was out of courage or mere stupidity. Time would tell, which one it would be for the clown before her.<br/><br/>''Then I will be watching you, one more wrong move mr Falmore, and my guards will bring you for punishment nonetheless. Hear my words.''<br/><br/>With her warning said, she turned round to find her precious Alena waiting behind her. She smiled, wondering if the girl had intentionally removed her hood for the night as a result of her words earlier exchanged between the two. She definitely looked a little more feminine, although frightening enough to be her guard. Winnie was a woman who appreciated females around her to look strong and confident, she even instructed her whores to do so. It was only beneficial for her establishment any ways. W'ineton raised her arm and gently cupped the chin of her child of the night, smiling ever so gently towards her. A genuine smile none would ever see on her face, less for Alena, seeing it was the only woman around her she genuinely liked to help since she found her trying to murder her one day. Just the thought of it made her smile, how unfortunate the events had been of meeting, it would not change a thing between the two's strong bond of familiarity. She almost felt like a mother to her, as she did to all of her girls, but most for this one.<br/><br/>''Could you be so kind, and make sure the contents of this bag will find its rightful owners, as well as the necklaces on the table? Everything left is for you, seeing he has been making your evening the most miserable of all. Oh, and if he does make a wrong move again, you are allowed to use this on him, which I am certain you know its intention for.''<br/><br/>Winnie handed over the small pouch of petrifying powder, the one she had still been holding her hand, before she let go of Elana and gave Zephyr one more look over her shoulder. It almost, almost, appeared to be a smile on her lips as she spoke her next words.<br/><br/>''But I doubt he will be any more trouble, am I right mr Falmore?''<br/><br/>After those actions had finally been done and over with, she made her way towards the bar again, absolutely dying for a drink, and trying to remember what she had been doing before the brawl had gotten her attention. It didn't take long for her to notice the Vulpari Parin and her fey Mirri to regret the happenings of the bar taking her attention away from the wondrous creature. As she moved in closer to the duo who were now in conversation with the strange metal warrior, that resembled a Dvergar to her, she wondered if they would have the courage to talk to her again. Especially after her being so ruthless and stern with one of the other customers, however annoying and wrong he might have been. Nevertheless, her drink was still standing close to the little foxgirl, so she merely went over and picked it up to sip from it once more. A wave of relief and pure enjoyment rolling over her features as she tasted the golden honey liquor on her tongue.<br/><br/>''Aah, were are my manners.. I'm sorry for being so rudely taken away by pressing events in my tavern, but I have not been able to introduce myself to you as well. It is nice to meet you, Parin and Mirri, my name is W'ineton owner of this establishment and madame of the girls. And I have not been able to have caught your name as well, mr... I hope you have not been missing any gold coins either, as we have been experiencing some theft that has been dealt with now. If you do, you can have your missing gold returned by my guardsman''<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
