"A deal then," Dari said, clasping arms with the man. Karina would give a performance a bit later tonight, around the time when supper would be served but carefully before the liquor would really be flowing. That meant that she would be returning, maybe to even give a performance herself. He had allowed her to come back at least once a week, depending on how popular it made the inn. And, hopefully, what was successful in one place would lead to other establishments following. At least she could bring news of one success back with her. "Until sundown tonight. Thank you again sir."
Sneakily taking Karina's elbow, she steered her away from making any more lewd glances or possible comments before her performance that night. She gave a quick instruction to the Sentinel about the arrangement before they turned to go.
