Previous experiences often ended up with more than a simple laugh off, but with bruises and possibly broken bones and cracked skulls. The dimly lit hallway intrigued Miyuki, for it was the first time she entered a tavern's 'private space'. Often things were settled between her and a man needing a lady to satisfy him with a wink across the tables, Miyuki moving to wait by the stairs as they discussed payment. When it was done, Miyuki would lead the way upwards, bending herself at an angle so the man could catch a glimpse of her naughty whites, before being grabbed and taken into his room for their business.<br/><br/>The arches were of a design new to Miyuki, the bard taking in the curves and workmanship of the interior, as well as the thick black curtains which often guaranteed privacy. Voices could be heard, but the background managed to snuff out any traces of coherent speech as they continued on. Miyuki nodded her thanks at Ralana, admiring the room as she took a walk around, her hand tracing the table and the benches as she took in the privacy of the place. It reminded her of the private chambers back in her shrine, the building holding three of such chambers for distinguished guests to meet their prospective shrine sisters. Miyuki only allowed the closest of her clients into her private chambers, and often she did her business in the rooms, often seeing the more popular sisters leading men and women through the thick wooden doors.<br/><br/><em>"You can light the candles with this miss, if you decide you need a little more light. Or if you decide you need a flaming brand to shove into the face of a lecherous halfling."</em><br/><br/>Miyuki laughed at Ralana's comments, nodding her thanks as she watched the lady leave. She sat near Jax, at an angle so he does not need to turn too much, and waited until the curtains closed before pouring some wine into the wine glass, taking a sip and experiencing the light burn of alcohol down her system.<em>Gods, I needed that.</em>Miyuki thought, the taste of barrel water being one that she could never get used to. Miyuki shrugged her black robes loose, allowing a shoulder to be exposed as she coped with the heat. Perhaps she should change to a lighter vestment next time. A green robe with slight translucent properties?<br/><br/><em>"So, a pretty and rather exotic looking woman enters the bar.  Her first time in Laelith if I had to guess.  Your skin's too fair to have soaked up much of our sun for more than a day or two, but I'd guess you just came in on a boat today.  She looks for a room at the explorer's guild hall, so she's looking for some sort of action, and suggests working out some sort of payment plan with the devastatingly handsome yet tragically injured man that she's fallen in love with at first sight. How close am I to the truth and what is it that I can do for you my fairest of the fair?"</em><br/><br/>Miyuki smiled and gave a giggle at the halfling's words, swirling the wine in her glass before draining it of its contents. She would have to ask Ralana the name of this beverage, it might be her favorite drink in Laelith for the moment.<br/><br/><strong>"Dear Jax."</strong>Miyuki said, a devilish grin on her face and her eyes staring deep into his dark orbs.<strong>"My first sight usually fails me, so I'd need to take a closer look if I'm to confirm which part of your charming self I'm in love with. Yes, most are correct, except for that last part. I'm new in Laelith, and I'm not comfortable with spending my life waiting in a chamber for different men to come in everyday. I'm looking for some... <em>adventure</em>. The thrill of exploring the unknown, beyond a city... A guide would serve me well, but a companion who could spice things up in a lady's life would really... excite her..."</strong>
