With Astarotte having effectively alienated most of her audience (though she seems quite focused on winning over her present one-man audience), the rest of Lustiel's encore draws more of the crowd than she had during the bidding war. Things, for the most part, seem to be settling down again, at least for the World Serpent Inn. A Serpent Wench darts out to mop up the Kobold's spilled blood, and he seems to have come to by the time Lustiel finishes her song, thanks in no small part to the positive energy suffusing the Inn's common room, his wounds slowly but surely knitting back up. He looks quite dazed, clutching his skull as if from a terrible headache, and, to make matters worse, he missed the minotaur's announcement, entirely unaware of the free round. With no one else at his table at the moment, the gylou wouldn't be interrupting, were she to approach him.<br/><br/><br/>The succubus is afforded some privacy - or at least a distinct lack of interference - by the round of drinks the minotaur ordered; for now, no one seems interested in bothering her or the young scholar she's ensnared. While a quick glance at the tomes and scrolls below her would make it obvious the boy was quite the intellect, it availed him little in the face of her charms, and now he was wrapped, quite snugly, about her finger. He's barely even conscious of the fact he's leaning in closer and closer to her face, drawn to her as if by magnetism, a little closer with each moan, each whimper, each lewd noise that falls from her lips. "Yes, of course. A deep examination... Q-quite thorough..." As he fondles her, his own inhibitions seem to evaporate, his touches growing more bold, until finally, as he pinches both her her nipples at once. "Upon thorough evaluation... I'd say... neither too big nor too small. They're perfect."<br/><br/><br/>"A month?" Mitchifer paused to consider. That was quite a bit of time, but, then, it was quite a pretty penny Kyuui had gotten her sticky fingers on. Upon making his decision, he set down the drinks on one of the Serpent Wench's trays, and as he did, Kyuui would feel a pinch on her ear, finding herself slowly, inexorably drawn towards the bar, as if by an invisible aunt dragging along a naughty child to her punishment. Once she was in earshot, Mitchifer made clear the conditions of her servitude.<br/><br/>"You can keep her as long as it takes for her to accumulate 1,000 gold<em>in tips</em>and pay them to you, in addition to what she stole. Don't interfere with her waitressing. Don't main, don't kill. Dressing her up, playing with her, that's fine."
