The inside of the room was, well, a normal one for a brothel. Maybe Freja had disapproved with Machado's idea, or maybe there was more to this place than the eye could notice.<br/>So far, any eye could only notice a couple of exotic dancers, two men and one woman, making a live performance on the stage. The rest of the people inside were mostly customers, and almost nobody even bothered to check the newcomers. Of course, "madam" approached them. She wasn't all that disappointed or surprised when hearing Machado's request for some bottles of wine, a male and a female, and a large room for the whole night. Machado declined the offer for "extras", which made her lose any further interest in their group. One of the big bruisers took them usptairs, warning them against "destroying the property, unless you can give a good reason to the boss - or unless you are ready to pay for it". Machado just shrugged and gave him a coin for his efforts. It was a custom, after all.<br/>"I have no intention in using them", he declared to the two girls when they were alone. "If you want to do so, you can - we are paying for them anyway. Me, I don't want to be scratching myself all the time on the road, so I'll just pretend I'm here for the show."<br/>There are two whores, so there obviously<em>will</em>be a show, even if neither one of the girls was interested. That was probably why Machado picked a male and a female in the first place.<br/>For his part, he poutred some wine in three gobelets and tasted it, while putting himself comfortably on a chair.<br/>"Here, Lina, have some wine! Whatever you are doing, tonight, I want you to rethink one of Kurrad's lessons: Fear is like fire. We will speak about it in the morning."<br/>Then the door opened, and a man and an woman entered the room, ready for some more business. Obviously, these were slaves.
