Chapter 263: The bartender's mission

"What can I do for you two?" offers the bartender, holding out another beer to a passing member of the tavern, who takes his booze with a whoop. Upon catching sight of me fully, she does a double take, standing there shocked for a moment before she slides her arms down against the counter, lowering her eyes.

"Well excuse  me," she laughs breathily, flicking a lock of dark hair behind her pastel green ears, which too, are flushed. "What can I get for  you?" she adds, eyeing me up and down now, her eyes shimmering under the light of the tavern glow.
