[@MonstrousMan] "[b] Usual Geoff my friend [/b]"

Shaken out of his reverie by the arrival of the regular Geoff smiled over at Mirai and reached under the bar for some of his special stock while plucking the floating coin out of the air with his other hand. Pouring a tall glass of something which seemed to glow with an inner blue light of its own in the dim light, the barman gestured over to the quarterling and carefully placed the drink on a tray for her before finishing it off with a small pink umbrella.

Hilda simply smiled at her boss with a mocking curtsy before weaving her way off towards Mirai's table and presenting his with the concoction, along with a far sweeter smile as her eyes rested on the second coin for a moment. Over at the bar Geoff rolled his eyes at Hilda's obvious sultry playacting, he knew to keep an eye on the girl to make sure she didn't try slipping out to the stables to earn herself a little extra coin on the side. His last barmaid had thought that a good idea too, before ending up with a orc-spawn halfbreed in her belly.

Turning to his next customer Geoff quickly reached for a skewer and a plate, hooking one of the roasting birds down from over the firepit behind the bar and letting it fall onto the wooden serving platter. Dropping the plate in front of the young bard Geoff waited for payment, both for the chicken and for the ale, his own ale which the young rapscallion had helped himself to as it had rested on the bartop. The boy had already whipped his instrument back out, plucking at the strings and filling the air with noise which Geoff had been assured by others passed for music to the younger generations.
