Meet Ati

[atimuma]

*wiping the counter at the Drunken Maia in anticipation of the evening crowd*

*sets out her tip cup, has been doing pretty good since nobles have started showing up along with the usual crowd of guards, because where nobles go, the populace follows because it's a trend now*

There. Ready. *pours herself a ginger drink, alcohol-free, and sits back*

*heads into the Drunken Maia after spending some time practicing her voice, which is starting to go a little now, and heads up to the bar, smiling at the bartender absently* Spiked tea if you can please.

[atimuma]

*gets to work* okay, let me guess. Not a guard, and human, but you don't walk like you take orders, so... *sets out the drink*

Rohirric noble.

[ladyidis]

Well, I used to be.

Thank you so much. *sips the drink* These days...I'm looking into work with the historians. If they'll have me.

*sets a tip in the jar for now* Is it alright if I hold off on the tab just in case?

[atimuma]

Sure. Just remember I've got guards who love me if you stiff me on the bill.

You want to spend all your time in that dusty old house?

[ladyidis]

I'll bet they do. Guards should always love the barman or barmaid. It's one of those given rules that make the world seem right.

I like it there. Not so much the dust but the stories. Making sure ours are recorded since we're here now.

[atimuma]

Exactly. It's part of what makes a society function.

I heard there's no windows in there.

[ladyidis]

*laughs* Well...all right that much is true. But it's not so bad. There are so many books. So many more than we know what to do with. I like it anyway. It helps with having found myself here. Something familiar.

I...have you been in this city long yourself?

[atimuma]

Long enough if you've got questions. *leans forward on the bar* What do you need?

[ladyidis]

Oh, just wondering I suppose. It's so DIFFERENT. I'm not sure I like the being cooped up in here so much. I understand why but...

It's as if I can't breathe sometimes. Do you feel like that?

[atimuma]

Yes. I'm used to wide open deserts. Being surrounded by walls of stone, penned in by mountains, wasn't exactly in my plans. Try to go to the walls, at least there's some space up there to think. Refill?
