<div class="floatleft">(http://orig08.deviantart.net/3fea/f/2017/185/3/5/lyari01_by_ravagedgirl-dbf59tn.jpg)</div>Lyari couldn't blame Elora.  The redhead had always been of the mind that work came first, and usually so did those she served.  Most employees would at the very least speak with their boss when clocking in, but she knew her halfelven friend didn't mean anything by the way she sauntered in and struck right into her rounds.  It was a good thing on an evening where the tavern was filling up so quickly, as a matter of fact.  She did see Elora speak briefly with- make that 'to' rather- Chariss, however.  From the look on the face of the dwarf girl, whatever was said may have been taken the wrong way.  Lyari stifled a chuckle at how her girls interacted.<br/><br/>Lyari had no small amount of experience in matters of intimacy in public areas.  That being the case, it was refreshing to feel her cheeks brighten when Elisa made her timid plea.  Again, here was a stoic, courageous paladin offering herself up to the maw of the great beasts humility and humbleness.  It nearly overwhelmed the elf.  She reciprocated immediately, tilting her head down and locking her gaze with Elisa's eyes.  She smiled the seductive smile of one who was not only willing, but in need of what the other was asking to give.  The woman moved ever so slowly closer while she spoke, running the fingers of her free hand delicately over Elisa's hand.<br/><br/>"Elisa, there is nothing professional about me or my tavern. This is more of a mutually beneficial home away from home than a business to any of us. If my words seem as if they come from a woman more intent on coin than emotion, then I humbly apologize. I want nothing more or less than to bring comfort and the feel of being wanted to everyone that crosses this building's threshold."  By then, Lyari's lips were hovering dangerously close to Elisa's warm countenance.  Her voice had lowered to the level of someone telling a lover what they mean to them rather than defining an odd work/play relationship.  As such, she dropped away from occupational speeches and concentrated on the other woman's needs.  Her voice came in a near-whisper of warmth and silken rose petals.  "Say no more, Elisa. I think by now you know I'd love to spend just as much time with you. But there's still something I don't know, however. I'm curious to know whether you are brave enough to put your words into actions, or if I'm going to be the one to attack first.. so to speak."  Her heated, hooded eyes and pouting lips would set even the most dense of minds on the trail she laid out.  It didn't matter to her if Elisa made the first move or not, but she liked giving her lovers the opportunity to be a bit dominating if they liked.<br/><br/><hr/><div class="floatleft">(http://orig09.deviantart.net/eed9/f/2017/185/3/a/chariss01_by_ravagedgirl-dbf59u2.jpg)</div>Chariss was happy to see Alexandra join her in the perfect crime of trying to get her significant other to friggin' relax for goddess's sake.  She listened for a moment, then turned to see that bouncing bottle of crimson-capped carnality Elora make her quick entrance.  She was about to greet her in the subtle way each employee does when also involved with patrons before the girl spoke up for herself.  Chariss let her jaw hang for just a moment before closing it into a position of mild incredulity.  She turned to look up at Lyari, waving a presenting hand towards the girl.  The dwarf still wasn't sure if Elora actually forgot who the main female bartender of the tavern was each day, or did it intentionally as some weird joke.  Either way, she shook the thoughts out of her little head and turned back to Viktor and Alex.<br/><br/>"Yes, yes! Right this way."  Chariss had just caught the tail end of Alex's plea and Viktor's surrender, but it was enough to run with.  She walked, hips rolling in the way few others of the tavern could pull off, to the small back room cloaked in a dim, purple field of security magicks.  Waving a hand in the direction, she smiled up at Viktor.  "It's not quite big enough for more than one person, but if you really do want assistance we could easily strip you down out here."  The girl's eyes lit up, wondering if the stuffy cleric would actually go for such a brash action.  It would definitely kick start her evening with the couple in a magnificent way.
