<strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Shamlen ((weeks prior))</span></strong><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/292/a/8/lyari_by_jennyverse-d83i3u5.jpg)</div>His kiss was like a strange combination of heat and cold, both setting  her heart aflame and cooling her lips like ice.  She indulged in it, probably longer than she meant.  But this was no mere customer.  It was Shamlen.  She could risk her heart on him and know he'd always return.  "Bigger and better, you say? More exciting? What, I'm not exciting enough for you?"  She grinned and poked him in the ribs, then turned and waved at Chariss.  The dwarf girl soon trundled over with a tray of frothy mugs for them.  She smiled timidly and returned to her bar.<br/><br/>Lyari lifted a cup and took a long pull before settling into Shamlen's lap for the duration.  She nodded to his words, giving them much thought before replying.  "I think that's a great idea! I even have a few friends that would love to work here. You'll love Kira. She's an orc!"  The girl leaned in, licking the man's own ear from lobe to long tip to punctuate her words.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Adon</span></strong><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/320/3/9/kira_by_jennyverse-d86p93e.jpg)</div>As interested as Kira was to hear his tale, her eyelids started to become quite heavy.  It wasn't her fault.  Orcs are naturally bored creatures when fighting or sex isn't involved.  And Kira usually incorporates both on a nightly basis.  While she heard every word of the demon's lecture on the life and times of a demon, she still found herself drowsy.  It was the hand between her legs that brought her rocketing back to life.<br/><br/>"OGG!!"  The woman jumped in the chair over three inches and fell back, nearly breaking it below her.  "The hell?! Dammit, man! You have some gift there!"  She grinned, enjoying his playfulness and surprises.  The greenskin was glad she managed to get him as a patron for the evening.  Kira could think of so many uses for that specific ability.  "So is your name in some dusty tome somewhere? Do sexy maidens invoke your name for their naughty slumber parties?"  Kira licked her lips, imagining him appearing like a specter before a gaggle of giggling nunnery girls the night before they take their vows.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Raytheon</span></strong><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/292/a/8/lyari_by_jennyverse-d83i3u5.jpg)</div>Lyari tilted her head in a bit of sadness.  She'd rarely had patron's up and leave, but it happened.  Apparently Raytheon had some urgent business to see to and left quite abruptly.  But it wasn't the end of the world, or at least the night.  She turned and smiled at the Tavern, happy to have it so full for the evening.  The woman bustled along, collecting dirty plates and mugs from tables before heading back to the rear of the Tavern.  In truth, Lyari was glad for the rest.  The demon still weighed on her mind, if not on her body.
