Briar emerged a few minutes later with his plate and a fresh mug of ale for him with the assumption he would have already finished his other one. She only paused for a moment before spinning around and coming out with more refills for the other table, careful not to spill anything on her swishing skirt.
She gave him long enough to have a few bites, before leaning back on the bar in front of him. Even when he was sitting down, he was still taller than her. Bastard.
"Expecting better company?" She inquired casually as she reached under the bar for her mug of ice water, laced with just a enough of clear alcohol to keep her mood up during her shift.
