Bab 183: The Cat’s Paw

As the three women stopped outside of a tavern, Skye looked up at the sign. It was a deep red wooden sign with dark-gold trim that read The Cat's Paw. She thought it was hilarious that Shasta was a regular, considering what she was. Since she told Skye and Maevis that a friend owned it, they wondered if the name had been inspired by Shasta.

 Upon entering the establishment, Skye and Maevis looked about. The tables were made of nicely lacquered oak with matching booths and stools. A few booths lined one wall going all the way back. The back wall had the bar and two doors on it; one for employees, and one for the restrooms.

 The walls were a deep red, akin to the sign that hung out front. Maevis noted that the floors were stained the same shade as the tables and stools, which couldn't have been cheap. The trim around the furniture and walls was the same dark-gold color as the sign's letters, making the tavern very elegant looking.
