As Ayrie stood outside the bath house a sudden crowd of people began pushing her away in the direction of a restarant next door. When a sunglasses wearing short person in a suit told her the mayor wanted to see her inside.

"Okay..." He pushed her not so gently through the door and another woman told her the mayor was waiting. "Thank you, I guess."

She was starting to feel as though she was going to go whether she wanted to or not, so she followed the woman's direction to the VIP room. There, she saw the mayor seated on some pillows at a table meant for sitting on the floor.

"Hello." She said simply, standing near the door and waiting for him to tell her why she was here.
