Do you help run the inn?
That’s right. My days as a wench have long passed me by. And my legs are tired, so there’s no use chasing them.
But that doesn’t mean I can’t take a few orders. I just let the patrons come to me.

Time catches up with us all.
Ha! Which is another way of saying, there’s no need to be jealous of the young. They’ll find out soon enough.

I disagree. Time hasn’t caught you yet.
Oh it has. Otherwise I’d be naive enough to believe you.

It’s admirable you’re still working at this age.
If you can call it that. I do my best, but mostly I think Nevyn keeps me around for the company.

Shame on you, you’re taking this job from someone younger and more capable.
I doubt that. Nevyn can tend the inn by himself. He just humors me by letting me sweep the floors.

Where’s the innkeeper?

Every Middas he and some of the others go off to play cards. I don’t mind, because it makes me feel rather motherly.
Plus he pays me double.

What can I get you, dear?
Need something to drink, hon?
We’ve got drinks and food, child.
If you’re thirsty, we’ve got drinks.

Scene with Nevyn

You know, there’s some really nice women in this city. I think some of them wouldn’t mind an older man.

Now you’re just talking nonsense.

Why, you don’t think you’ll ever marry again?

I doubt it. I know she would’ve wanted me to, but it’s not up to her. I always was the stubborn one.

Scene with Nevyn

Verah, I’m going to need you to tend the inn on Middas again.

You really need to kick that habit. It’s not like you can spare the gold.

Well, look at it this way. If I lose everything, you’ll inherit the inn. You can even hire me as your wench.

Ha! Maybe then you’ll appreciate me a little more, after you’ve walked a mile in my shoes.

I already do Verah. You’re a bloody saint.

Scene with Nevyn

Nevyn, we’re running low on mead.

Again? You’d think we were serving Nords the way they drink that swill.

It can’t be helped. It’s the cheapest spirit we sell.

Scene with Nelsie

Nevyn seems like a good man. Is it true he isn’t spoken for?

Well, that depends child. Can the dead speak?

 Scene with Bounty Hunter

Hey! Barmaid! Anyone order a bottle of bloodwine lately?

I don’t believe so. Alto wine yes, but not bloodwine.

You sure about that? No offense, but most people your age tend to mix things up.

If that’s true, then there’s no point in asking me, is there?
