Now there was the sort of strange and sorry sight she didn't see much of in her establishment.
She was new to Akvero, whatever she was, that much was plain as the beard on her face. Fragile and filthy like so many girls, drawn like a moth to a flame and burned just as easily. It was when they were new that they were most vulnerable, liable to be snatched up quick as copper by the first pointy-eared wretch that knew the value of a pretty face. And during the Masquerade it was more dangerous than ever, tourists lost in a sea of masks. It burned her right up, to think of all the nobodies taken before they could be anybody, lives and bodies stolen like trifles.
Or she may have been projecting, all righteous indignation blinding her to the possibility that it was just another ragamuffin.
"Mind the counter," she said to Lis with a hand on her shoulder, putting the little Halfling in charge for now. Hanging the keys back up, she disappeared into the kitchen. She couldn't tell if she was some half-breed or faeblood, or something else entirely, so no telling if the so-called 'food of men' would suit her. Much as it offended Gotris to have her bread referred to as such.
An apple, then. Not many that couldn't eat as simple a thing as an apple.
Standing tall at an even 135 centimeters, she looked more stern than sympathetic when she seated herself across from the elfin lass. She set the apple between them as an offer, then smoothed out the ruby skirt of her dress.
"Have you found work yet?" she asked instead of introducing herself, because manners were manners but a Dwarf was a Dwarf.
