<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Jiroph</strong></span><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2015/056/5/1/asvett_by_pixeldust86-d8jgb3o.jpg)</div>Glad that she managed to get him away from what could have been a volitile situation, Asvett watched out the door just a moment before shutting it behind them.  She paced back and forth a bit, as if nervous.  Looking up at Jiroph with a worried face, the goblin pushed him in the stomach.  "What's the big deal?! They're only words! He didn't attack you! You had no right to do that. Do you think I want you kicked out of the Tavern on your first night back?"  The girl gave a sigh and sat at the edge of the tub.  She leaned in and twisted a brass knob, which started a flow of steaming water.  The pipes were installed by some very gracious gnomes and fed water beneath the ever-roaring fire of the Tavern from a nearby river.  Asvett sighed and turned back to the elfkin.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry, I just don't want to ruin this job. I haven't had it but a week or two and I don't want my first real customer causing a fight! You may not think much of Kira, but she can really tear up the place even if she's losing. Something like that could get you banned from this place forever. And.."  Asvett looked down, kicking at the floor with her short leg.  "And I don't want you to go."<br/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Adon</strong></span><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/320/3/9/kira_by_jennyverse-d86p93e.jpg)</div>Realizing the winged creature was actually a customer that had been in the Tavern before, Kira was about to turn her attention back to the matter at hand.  She looked around, seemingly played the fool by Asvett and her customer.  She snarled and pounded the table with her fist, making a mental note to have a talk with her later.  The orc girl turned, seeing the coin layed on the drunken lout in the booth.  She was going to question the man once more before a sudden feeling of arousal gripped her; literally.  Kira fell back against the table, her legs quivering as she steadied herself.  She turned to Adon across the bar, knowing for sure it was him.  "Dammit, you son of a sprite," she cursed under her breath.<br/><br/>Kira made her way warily back to Adon's table.  She sat, her face contorting in hilarious ways from his poke and prods.  "A-Adon, st-op it! I h-have to do m-my job somet-imes!"  She doubled over, hugging the table as if she were hiding some man below pleasuring her with his mouth.  "C-come on, man!"<br/><br/><hr/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Selena</strong></span><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2015/056/5/3/lyari_by_pixeldust86-d8jganz.jpg)</div>As ethereal and majestic as the girl appeared, Lyari saw her true self.  Selena was still a girl.  She was vulnerable and flawed as any being that moved on two legs and needed the same love and affection.  The half-elf took the blonde's face in her hands and smiled at her.  "You owe me not a thing, Selena. There were more problems here than just a building falling down. It needed a renovation and some time off anyway. We're all better for it, I promise. All I care about is that you are safe now. I know Erica was happy to have you with her in the end. You were the angel that bore her to the afterlife, I'm sure of it. Now enough of this crying. The Busty Wench has seen enough heartfelt emotion for one night. And I'm not just talking about this busty wench."  She gestured to herself with a grin, hoping to lighten Selena's mood.<br/><br/>Hearing her need for physical attention, Lyari was happy to oblige.  The apparent fight before the girl's arrival seemed to have calmed and there wasn't a large crowd about.  She decided she could use some attention herself.  There was still the matter of Selena's need to give something in return for her demolition of the original Tavern, however.  Lyari's eyes lit up as a thought struck her.  What business wouldn't be proud to have a real, live Avariel about the place on a steady basis?  "Selena, what about this; I don't want to take your money for what happened back then, but I can give you a permanent room here if you like. Call the money rent for room and food. How's that sound?"  She kissed her forehead sweetly, like a mother showing affection to her saddened child.  "You can stay here as long as you like. I know the staff would be happy to keep you.. occupied."  A little devilish grin spread over Lyari's features, which was not motherly at all.
