Who: Kaia and
OPEN Eirys
Where: A little stall outside the tavern where Kaia works in Ravenpeak!
When: Early evening
The second day of festivities was in full swing by the time Kaia was sent to switch places with the other barmaid outside. It was still hot, but by now hotter in the tavern than outside behind the drinks stall their boss had made them set-up for the festival. A very last minute endeavor, one Kaia had only discovered was happening when she had come back to the tavern yesterday noon, after her little squid and sweet ice escapade.
Kaia didn't know how to be thankful properly, but she sure had been thankful to the tavern owner for sending her outside as the sun got lower and weaker. Not as thankful when she realized the amount of traffic their particular street was getting, and the amount of drinks she had been serving. Unbeknownst to her, standing in the same relative place taking bottles and pouring wine and mead was harder than doing it and walking around serving said drinks. Movement made the air flow around her, sometimes it helped with keeping her temperature down. And her feet didn't hurt so much.
There was supposed to be a big event at the castle tonight, something about nobility from all over the place arriving for the festivities, and everyone and their dog seemed extremely interested in seeing the ships dock. Wherefore, Kaia had no idea, but some people stopping by her stall sounded genuinely excited as they described the sightings. Kaia tried
hard not to roll her eyes at the excited chatter as she served the drinks. Once in a while, hoping no one was looking, Kaia went under the stall to sneak herself a drink, chilling it with her own hands first.
By the tenth time she had done this, Kaia stumbled back a bit when getting back up.
Oops. Good thing she had the stall all to herself and everyone was too busy inside.
"Welcome to-" Kaia paused, blowing a loose strand of hair off her forehead. "-the finest stall outside the finest tavern in Ravenpeak. We have red and white wine, several kinds of mead and even something fruity and fresh for these hot days. What can I fix for you?"
