Endorel was about to open the door, when he felt the presence of someone behind him; she seemed to move really quickly for a human, if indeed that be what she was. She leaned in close as he suddenly got the chilly feeling all throughout his body, and she quietly said, "listen, lovey, I don't want to sound pushy, but I'd like for you to stop by a little later when my barmaids come in and we can have a chat."  He turned about, and her usual creepyness did not seem to be there this time, but he still felt ill at ease with her so close; he managed to speak, "Ok, hun," even though he really didn't have any intention of doing so. She backed off so he could open the door and he went outside; he would not visit this establishment except that it was the only place to procure basic ale without buying a full keg for which he would have to find a storage location. He blankly stared at the grape vines outside the door for a few minutes as people were passing by. He wasn't really paying much attention to the passersby and didn't notice the woman approaching the terrace opening in a rather dishevaled state. She greeted him, but he took no real notice until she had arrived at the entrance to the terrace and said his name.<br/><br/>"Oh, hi....yes, that's me," he was fumbling for her name. He had heard it all to often, but at the moment his mind was awash with jumbled thoughts. He did remember having talked with her several times in the past and also having been rather amused by the chatter that many of the people about town had to say about her. She was an advisor to the royal court, this much he knew, but he really didn't know anything about what she advised about or to whom. She seemed to always be a pleasant person with whom to talk, if rather odd and socially awkward at times. "I'm on my way to the mill," he stated waiting a few moments to see if she would follow or would chat with him a few moments before on her way. He took a sip from his flask; the hard ale wasn't exactly tasty, but after having drunk some of it always seemed to make one more thirsty. He supposed that was the whole point so that one would keep buying it.
