Getting around Akvero at this time of day was normally fairly simple. Getting around Akvero during the Winter Masquerade difficult. During the Winter Masquerade when you were running late? Darned near impossible unless you were a very agile Halfling named Amaryllis.
Lis, as she was known, knew all the shortcuts, all the little tricks to navigating the crowded city. She'd been here her whole life and down that street, under that bridge, through that alleyway was as easy to her as breathing. Dodge this group of revelers who always gathered there. Duck under that merchant's counter that sold the prettiest masks. Hop through that meeting of boatmen stretched across the canal. Down the alley because 'it won't do to have employees dashing though the front door' and she burst into back room of the Grande Canal Pub.
This time of day was always her favorite time to come in. The scent of bread baking had always filled her with happy memories of baking with her mother and dinners with family. Lis really needed to pay a visit to their home before the Masquerade ended. Touring the canals with her mother and sisters was always a treat. For now though it was time to work.
No masks on now for this bar keep. They only got in the way.
After stashing her cloak in the cabinets built here for that purpose she smoothed out the skirt of her green dress and moved through the kitchen. "Smells lovely in here as usual," she said over her shoulder as she passed by. Coming through the door to the main area she saw there was a customer waiting.
"Hello there! What can I get you?" Lis was bit taller than what was average for a halfling but even so there were no shortage of stools for her stand on behind the bar. She stood upon one now to get as close to looking the man in the eye she could get. "Good beer, better wine. Just got in a bottle of an elvish red that's pretty good."
