Verisira came to lying on her side, and as her vision cleared, she realized she was back inside of the restaurant.  She could smell the steak she had been waiting on, and as her vision cleared, she could see she was back in the same seat she'd began in.  She was also aware of the ropes tied around her wrists and also around her ankles.<br/><br/>The elf that Esther called 'Riz' was eating the steak Verisira had been waiting on, and Esther was sitting by, wringing her hands.  Riz was saying something, waiting with her fork in hand to take another bite.  "... are only really going to be good for mushroom farming, I guess, or other labor, so I guess you can think of it as indentured servitude until you pay off your debt.  Your friend though ... well, I'll take her to the market, see if she's worth selling off, but more likely, I guess, I'll keep her as my cut of the pay.  A girl's got to make a living, right?"  She stuffed a forkful of steak into her mouth.<br/><br/>"Look, Riz," Esther was saying.  "I'll do what you want, okay?  Just leave her alone.  She isn't mine to pay with, and she's not yours to take, either.  Be reasonable."
