Jax seemed to be a big hit in the tavern, and that his joy and mannerisms with Miyuki, of protecting her honor by not spreading word of their lovemaking or treating her as a conquest, seemed that he could be a halfing to be trusted. Surely Miyuki was extremely fortunate to meet Jax and those in the Seven Hells, instead of 'Silver' and Laelith's Lustiest. A shiver went down her spine as Miyuki thought of her fate should she not know magic, or decided to just follow through with his nefarious plans.<br/><br/>She was taking her first sip of her favourite alcohol when a man sat down beside her, seemingly interested in a conversation...<br/><br/><em><strong>"Good evening pretty one.  My name is Kivin, and I have just returned from a successful outing into the wilds with my troupe.  I have not seen you here before in my last stay in Laelith and I must know the answer before my head bursts with the unasked question.  Are you working the room tonight and looking for customers?  For I have too many coins to my name and am eager to spend them on one as pretty as you."</strong></em><br/><br/>Miyuki considered the question for a moment, before understanding where this man was coming from. There were several tiers of members in the Explorer's Guild as Flint explained, and Miyuki recalled the first two being expected to provide sexual services. 'Warming one's bed', as was commonly said.<br/><br/><strong>"I'm sorry Mister Kivin, but unfortunately I'm not one who works the rooms nor shares her bed with paying customers. I'm to be formalized as an adventurer of this guild, and thus my reason to be here today, for I shall be meeting Master Flint after I had a good meal."</strong>
