As he was walking towards the bar just behind Czurem, David saw Zzubus launch someone up to the black jaguar while chatting quite casually with the woman who left the carriage ahead of him. The dragon-girl talked to the demon before getting teased in return. Zzubus seemed, contrary to his imposing physique, to be a friendly bartender; still, David could not suppress his innate fear completely, but managed to put on a calm masquerade.

[color=9e0b0f][i]"I'm the archdemon Zzubus, bartender of the 'Edge of the World' Tavern. You must be David. You came with Rebecca, correct?"[/i][/color] The archdemon said, extending to David a single finger, clearly to be shaken the 'usual' way. The politeness further calmed the mathematician, but not enough to prevent him from hesitating.

Sadly, the finger was there only for a split second. The bar was inundated with a growing crowd of various creatures and Zzubus couldn't afford to wait any longer. [color=0072bc]"It's good to meet you."[/color] David finally greeted the bartender ([@Gutshot]) with a raised voice, lest it be lost in the clamour of the tavern.

He ordered another glass of ale, then turned to Czurem ([@medalliah]) again. [color=0072bc]"He's a well-mannered bartender. Very likeable, don't you agree?"[/color]
