The door to The Lonely Tavern creaked open, drawing a few idle glances
from the gathering of late afternoon patrons.
Ash strode in. His leather jacket hugged his broad shoulders, and his
heavy boots thudded on the worn wooden floorboards, turning the idle
glances curious. The door swung shut behind him, shutting out the bright
sun, and leaving Ash’s sharp, dark features cast in shadow. He paused, his
eyes catching the glint of candlelight from beneath his brow as he read the
slate sign on the host stand.
‘Tonight’s Special: Fiery Negotiations, on the Rocks.’
“Hm.” Ash’s lips quirked up into a smile before he set his eyes on the
bar and strode forward.
More eyes followed him now, and he made sure to meet each one,
nodding at the faces he recognized, some returning a smile or small wave,
others turning away. There was one man with short blond hair nursing a
drink in the corner, and Ash’s smile faded briefly when he saw him.
Soon, the gazes were behind him as he reached the bar. Morwenna, with
her mop of curly gray hair and black dress jingling with charms and
trinkets, was intently polishing the inside of a pretty crystal glass.
Ash’s eyes, however, fell on the big hunk of a man standing beside her,
watching Ash approach with a wary expression. Flint made an odd choice
for a bartender, but Ash would guess someone of his size and history would
be a fine choice for a right-hand man.
Ash’s heavy footfalls reached the bar, and he flicked his eyes away from
Flint, back to Morwenna as he rested an arm on the bar.
When she didn’t look up from her frenzied polishing, he began to drum
his fingers on the rough wood before clearing his throat again, this time
much louder.
Morwenna looked up from the glass, her angular features showing mock
surprise. “Ash! Oh my, I didn’t see you there.”
Ash allowed a smile to creep over his face. He knew, more than most, of
the cunning that hid behind the tavern owner’s zany exterior. More than
that, in his short time in Wishing Moon Bay, he had come to admire it.
“Evening, Morwenna. Flint.” He gave a small nod, tasting the tang of a
fellow dragon shifter on the air as he briefly met Flint’s eye. “I’ve got a bit
of news that might interest some folks here.”
“Oh?” Morwenna arched an eyebrow and leaned forward onto the bar.
“We’re all ears, Ash. What’s the word?”
Ash paused, leaning back on the bar as he turned to survey the room.
Most had returned to their food and drinks, though he spotted some still
giving him the side eye. “I’m sure everyone’s heard about my previous
tenant’s unexpected departure. Well, I’ve just finished fixing the apartment
up.”
“You mean that lovely cliffside property you managed to snap up?”
“Sure. And now I’m looking for a new tenant to enjoy it. Someone who
appreciates the…quieter side of Wishing Moon Bay.”
