The shopkeep's head fell back as he sighed his release, even as the exotic beauty whispered sweetly to him. His manhood jerked and shot ropes of hot semen straight at Mia's face, the first discharge hitting her cleanly, the next and third ones lacking the initial force, spilling down onto her breasts and cleavage. The climax left the man winded and panting, smiling content as he beheld his work of art and tucked away his spent member.<br/>"Love that looks, sweetheart. Real good on you. So, let me see what I can do for you, yeah? Damn that felt good... Hope you'll visit soon, and often." he said with a smirk as he started searching behind the desk, pulling out a price sheet and placing it in Mia's view. Apparently the prices on there were nothing like what he initially suggested. "This is, hmm the discount list. Yeah, the one for special offers for important customers only. How's that? You're an important, respected customer!"<br/><br/>He actually seemed to have trouble getting everything correctly, almost mixing up some of the ingredients and Mia had to correct him. All evidence pointed to the man not actually owning the business, just selling the products, or standing in for the owner. As promised though, Mia received the medicine she asked for, the one that let her avoid future complications after her unfortunate arena match.<br/><br/>Cleaning up was up to her, however she decided to do it. Before leaving she took the medicine, making sure she wouldn't be with the child of the gladiator. Minutes later, waves of weakness and nausea passed through her, and with her knowledge in medicine she could tell it was the potion working through her body. It was mildly poisonous and would likely make her feel this way until it left her system, probably naturally and soon since it was a safe dosage. Still, the side effect and her growing hunger late in the day were good indicators that it was perhaps time to rest for the day and continue searching for mercenary work in the morning.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Mia can refill/purchase a herbalism kit, buy basic healing potions, antitoxins and vials of poison for the base prices.

She knew she could always stay there in exchange for work, or rent a room for some coin. Basic accommodations could come as cheap as a silver for a room and some coppers for a meal, however those standards likely meant there could be uninvited guests in her room at night, and a little extra personal touch in her porridge. If she wanted a room with a door that could be locked and shut safely and clean food, she could count on an expense of two gold coins for a day. Asking for a bath in a hole like the Duke and Monkey was a luxury. She could probably count another gold coin or two gone for that alone, and if she was not careful, some individuals could notice her spending. Of course if Drake was back the two of them could share a room without having to worry that the warrior would try to rape Mia. There was a mutual respect between them as fellow warriors, and she knew him well enough to know that he'd only act on his flirts if she agreed. Of course it was always a possibility that he brought his own sum of money, easing their financial problems further.<br/><br/>Unfortunately though, Drake wasn't back and Mia was on her own for the rest of the day and the night, unless she actively tried to look for companionship or risked staying in a cheap room. From what she recalled of the man's own list of jobs, several of them seemed to be guard duty, escorting or some other complex task that could take a day, maybe two to complete. This left Mia with the opportunity to fix herself up to look a more proper, less defeated and used version of herself the next time they met. While she could wash up at the inn, her clothes were still ripped and torn, and her fashion, unique in these parts was impossible to come by with what money she had available. Robes likes her would likely only appear as an item of luxury and would be less practical and more about just appearances. Of course at the same time while her fellow warrior was away she could be also adventurous indulge in what vice this seedy underbelly of civilization had to offer.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Mia can rest at the inn for the rest of the day and go adventuring the next morning. For 2 gp she gets a good meal and safe lodgings with a comfortable bed. For another gold she also gets a bath. For 2 sp she gets a cheap room with a bunk bed and only a dirty rag hanging in the doorway, with some leftovers the staff likely masturbates or urinates in out of cruelty. Taking the more expensive option also brings a secret check to see if people notice her suddenly spending big money. Taking the cheaper option guarantees a 'random encounter' for the night, though after that is done, she'll still have time to complete her rest. She can lodge for free if she offers sex to the innkeeper.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Quest list</div><div class="spoiler_body">Bodyguard Wanted!<br/>Wealthy merchant seeking professional bodyguard capable of working low-profile and undercover.
