The town of<em>Stonegate</em>was built near the gate of the east, the stone pass through the mountains resting nearby. The road between the heartlands and the mountainrange brought many travelers to Stonegate, but also a sense of danger that living near a border can give. The stone walls around the town were meant to keep it safe but there was always a sense of unease present at night.<br/><br/>The<em>Lucky Cat</em>was a comfortable inn with a well stocked kitchen and a pleasant tavern downstairs, and several rooms available for peasants and merchants, it did not boast accomodations for the high society but it was still a place most people in town would recommend.<br/><br/>The dawn had come and the light of the sun was warming the streets and shining in through the front windows, warming the tables closest to the window as the staff was preparing for breakfast.<br/><br/>The old man behind the counter,<em>Tuuka</em>was a somewhat serious man, cleaning the bardesk with a washcloth silently, while the barwench<em>Saja</em>was setting things down at the tables. Her outfit of a tight corset pushing her bosom up in the shirt flattered her figure, the long skirt flowing down over her legs thin enough to give a hint of the shapely ass and her legs moved quickly as she slipped from one table to next one, setting the new candles in place replacing the old ones, and cleaning the table surfaces quickly.<br/><br/>The two brunette humans might work in the tavern's main floor meeting with people for most part, but it was the cooking skills of the halfling lass<em>Julie</em>that kept people coming back. The blonde lass might be under three feet in height but her cooking stole a customer's attention till the plate or bowl was empty, and more than a few ordered seconds.<br/><br/>”Morning!” Saja shouted up seeing their customer arrive from the staircase to the rooms above, smiling in a polite manner, her green eyes curiously giving Petra a long look. ”Breakfast will be ready soon miss, can I get you anything in the meanwhile? Its already covered in the reward.”<br/><br/>The whole matter had been fairly effortless, a young guy had tried to steal at the tavern and Petra had arrived just at the same moment as the thief had tried to slip outside with the stolen coin purse. For stopping the thief on the spot and saving the tavern's reputation as a safe place to eat, the old man had immediately promised she could eat and sleep there for free for the next 3 nights, and she still had 2 nights let.<br/><br/>”You are the first person up, other than the Elsa, our local merchant. She came by earlier to add a note on the board.” She gestured at the back towards the noticeboard with six notes attached to it. ”Trouble sure seems to love company.” Saja sighed but then smiled to you. ”Would you like an ale? Some wine?”
