Ameiko nods in response to your request for wine, scooping up the coin before calling out back into the kitchen for someone named Sarryn.  Few short moments later, a dark-haired young man comes out of the kitchen, most likely a half-elf to judge by his features.  He's about to query Ameiko when he lays eyes on you and suddenly seems to become aware of his less-than-presentable condition with his untidy hair and the food stains on his apron.  Ameiko chuckles and cuffs him around the back of his head good naturedly.  "Enough gawking Sarryn.  Go around the back and fill up a glass of Corentyn wine for the lady here and when you're done with that, go and fix up two rooms."<br/><br/>"Two rooms?  But it's already kind of late, and you know dad's going to give me trouble if I get home after sundown," objects Sarryn half-heartedly.<br/><br/>"Don't worry about that – I'll handle your father, so go and do what you have to," grins Ameiko before shooing him off before turning her attention back to you.  "Well, as for Theos' swords, I'll not argue with you about his skill with them, though I'll not offer insight into what he can do with the other."<br/><br/>A short while later, Sarryn returns with the wine and immediately leaves for the rooms.  The red wine is certainly more pleasant than anything on the ship, being of a slightly sweet and tarty variety.  Between serving the clients, Ameiko seems happy to answer your queries in general.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">GM NOTE'S</div><div class="spoiler_body">Desire learns the following from Ameiko in general:<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Ameiko is uncertain about exactly what it is Brodert wants done, though has seemed particularly excited as of late, which is something of a rarity, though since Brodert is something of a scholar of ancient Thassilon, it likely has something to do with that.</li><li>With regards to Theos and Marcus, Ameiko isn't sure either, though she wouldn't be surprised if it's a rivalry over treasure-hunting or some such – maybe one of them pilfered a ruin or some other that other had plans to hit.  Rivalries like that happen every now and again.  Other than that, Ameiko isn't really certain – if one of them was the cause of any problem, she thinks it is most likely to be Theos, though isn't ready to bet on it since she doesn't really know either of them that well – only that she finds Marcus more pleasant to deal with since his manners are impeccable and he doesn't try to undress her with his eyes.  By comparison, Theos' personality makes it so that he is either liked or not – he has about as many admirers as he's broken hearts.</li><li>Apart from Theos, Marcus, and yourself, there isn't anybody of note at present in Sandpoint, though she has heard that a famous mercenary group called the Argent Blades are headed to these parts to makes some coin from the goblin bounty.  Despite this, Sandpoint has seen various sorts pass through, especially through the Rusty Dragon since it's close to the entrance of town.</li></ul><br/>(Generally, if no one was paying too much attention to Desire at present, it's because there are too many people and their busy talking, bragging, boasting, and such.  At an earlier time, with less patrons, it's very likely that Desire would have been turning heads and been the centre of attention.  That and that the town has a bit more conservative values, compared to cosmopolitan Absolom and other large cities.)<br/><br/>After a while, Sarry comes by to let the both of you know that the rooms are done.  If you want to follow him, he'll take you round the back of the Rusty Dragon to show you where the baths are, and then up a flight of stairs to the first floor and show you your room on the north side of the inn.<br/><br/>It's reasonably large (for a town at any rate, though Desire has probably seen large in Absolom) with a large bed, writing table, cupboard, oak chest at the base of the bed, a window that looks over most of Sandpoint.  <acronym title="He comes across either quite shy or very intimidated by your presence; tends to look anywhere except directly at you.">Sarryn*</acronym> sticks around long enough to make sure you're okay and settled before going back down again.</div></div>
