The front door of the tavern scraped open as it always did. Prya turned towards the noise.

"And who are you?" Laura asked as she stepped into her tavern.

When Prya turned back to the bar, she realized that the two tiger elves were nowhere to be seen.

"Prya. I'd come in for a breakfast beer and was asking the two ... women who were here to be served."

Laura responded, "We do not open until midday as a rule. I see no women. And why are you wearing Bláthnaid Sloani's top and Eubha Sloani's trousers?"

Prya looked down embarrassed.

"I borrowed them from a cottage outside of town. I didn't want to come into the port naked. The humans always tease me when I do that."
