Blade glanced over with mild surprise when the clatter of coin on wood never came. He quickly gathered what had happened and was impressed with the elf's quick hands, as well as her figure. His head tilted slightly to the side with intrigue as the woman skillfully prepared his drink and slid it into his waiting hand. He tilted the mug to his muzzle and took several deep gulps of the liquor while the elf briefly turned to one of her employees. He returned his attention to the woman at the same time she returned hers to him.<br/><br/>"Well met, Lyari Owner Waitress and Bartender," he responded slyly, his sibilant voice filling the space with a low hum. "My name is Wets-His-Blade, though you may just use "Blade" for short. And you are correct, I am a stranger to your fine town. My most recent contract has come to a profitable end, and I'm passing through in search of work." The reptile took a moment to throw back another mouthful of mead before continuing with a brief gesture at his surroundings. "I figured since I was in the area, I might as well investigate the... impressive... rumors that are associated with your fine establishment." Blade's chill gaze finally came to rest on the arousing display of flesh Lyari placed before him, before rising slowly up to her own. A low predatory growl rumbled in his throat as the corners of his mouth turned upwards ever so slightly. "I must admit, I'm pleased to discover that they were not rumors at all." He offered a brief chuckle, his hungry gaze never leaving Lyari's. "Your tavern is very appropriately named."<br/>
