She made her way through the swinging kitchen door and dropped the container off with the dish washer. She swiftly caught her cleaning rag before it hit the floor, having slipped from the belt of her apron. She stuffed it back at her side and continued on to the steam table where the prepared food waited.<br/><br/>Flinching slightly, Ary gritted her teeth as she placed a fairly hot dish on her left bare forearm. She balanced the plate as she handed another plate to her left hand. She glanced up at Sam who was hard at work shouting out orders to his kitchen staff. She shook her head amusingly at Sam's red face. Sam was the man and the paternal figure she had grown up with; not to mention one of the most gentle men a person will ever meet. Sam caught her eye and gave her a wink of acknowledgement. Giggling, she saluted Sam before picking up a dish in her right hand and heading back out the swinging kitchen door.<br/><br/>Oh, but it was becoming a full house tonight. The miners must have gotten paid for all that over time they had been working. She dropped the plates off at their perspective tables and went about refilling drink glasses. When the man walked in with the fancy suit, Ary couldn’t help herself but stare, then take a quick glance at the woman in the fancy dress. Were they there together? No. That was Elise. She'd been living here a few years. She had a propensity toward fairly old looking dresses. Ary was actually a bit drawn to them, to be honest, though some of the town gossipers liked to talk about how odd Elise is. What was his story as to the fancy clothes? And why was he all the way out here?<br/><br/>Her open mouthed stare made it to May’s already scolding eyes. Ary closed her mouth, gave a small “I know, I know” smile to May, and then went about busing another table. However, when the man came down a moment later, Ary couldn’t help but make her way to the bar. With a pen in one hand and her order tablet in another, she settled in front of the man. It was a bold move on her part. He was quite sexy and she was ever most shy. A slight blush crept onto her cheeks.<br/><br/>“Good evening, Sir. Would you like to hear the specials?”<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd315/Kali_83/LeonaSmith.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Leona Smith (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=132613.msg5897467#msg5897467)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Murphy’s Tavern<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Day 1, evening<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Todd Williams<br/><br/>Leona stood just outside the entrance to the tavern, her arms crossed over her chest. Well, that must be him. She stared in at the man sitting by himself at one of the many tables. He was quite handsome in well-manicured sort of way.<br/><br/>Leona backed up as a couple entered the tavern, screen door screeching. She looked back in to see the woman approach him. Her movements, that slightly pale skin, that anachronistically betraying dress: Vampire!<br/><br/>She flattened herself against the tavern wall. Here?! What were vampires doing here? Did they know? How could they know? She took a few minutes to calm her breathing. She may not be a vampire. It was merely a hunch after so many years of studying them. She needed to get a hold of herself. She couldn’t betray her order like this. Think of all you’ve worked for?<br/><br/>Leona pushed herself away from the wall and straightened her clothes. Let’s get this over with. She opened the door and strutted through the dining room, coming to a stop in front of the man she’d been watching so closely from the other side.<br/><br/>“Mr. Williams, I presume?” She held out her hand, waiting for him to stand and shake.<br/>
