He was clean and fresh, having bathed himself and wiped down his armor as best as he could. It was still a little damp but nothing bad compared to some of the wet clothes he had worn before.

When he arrived downstairs, he paused at the last step that led up to the rooms.

The entire area was spotless. The tables and chairs were back in their places, and nothing reflected that there had been a party last night.

Glancing at the bar, he saw Eltina leaning over it, working on some papers. There were a few other servers slowly milling about. He waved at one and motioned for something to eat, and the woman ran off. He couldn’t remember her name but knew it began with a G . . .

He walked to the bar, grabbed a stool, and plopped himself in Eltina’s face. “How are things this morning?” Kaen asked as he leaned upon the bar with his arms.

Eltina glanced up, shook her head at Kaen, and frowned. “Bar business isn’t something I discuss. Talk to Sulenda if you want to talk about that.”

Kaen laughed, leaned forward, and grinned at her. “What about the betting business? Can you share details on that?”

Without even looking up from her paperwork, Eltina shook her head and tried to ignore Kaen.

“That doesn’t seem fair at all,” Kaen complained. “Surely you can tell me something about how it all turned out or how much I might have earned.”

Setting her pen down, Eltina took a breath and then let it out slowly before smiling in a way that seemed almost threatening.

“Listen, Kaen, I like you, I really do. I appreciate what you did for Sulenda and the rest of us. She told me a little bit about how all of this was your plan. I also know you freed Hess from his obligation to you, which has the two of them shacking up like rabbits. Now I have to run a bar, manage the betting, deal with all of the other bookies who do not want to turn in their numbers like they are supposed to, and prepare for tonight, which will probably be a packed house again.”

Eltina motioned to the back of the bar. Kaen looked behind her and saw that most of the shelves were empty, and only one cask was left.

“I have runners around town, trying to secure more alcohol because it seems your horde of adventurers can drink a lot more liquor than the average person. I still have to find more food for tonight and get our storeroom restocked,” she informed him with a sigh. “So while part of me would love to talk with you and listen to how wonderful life is as the new play toy of the city, I must instead turn my attention to these papers and get back to my job of running the bar!” Eltina emphasized the last part as she waved her hands around in the air.

“I’ll let you be,” Kaen stated as he slowly eased off the stool and moved toward a table.
