Somewhere in the busy part of the town there sat some tavern. The tavern was nothing big, it was quaint and had a quiet riot of sounds emitting through the cracks of the door and windows. A sign hung from the roof, reading, "Tally's Tavern." Some creature, the owner, must have been Tally. Some slave, dressed in mock-barmaid clothes stood outside of the tavern, holding a menu. The slave seemed bored with a rusted smile forced on her face. She seemed content, though, rosy in cheek--a cup of something stood next to her feet, loyally, and full.
Inside the tavern, a bar was set towards the left wing, and several rooms were pushed upstairs for travelers. There were tables of different sizes scattered amongst the right wing. Chairs here, chairs there. The organization could have been better, but the customers seemed to come just before cleanliness could take place. By no means was the tavern dirty, just cluttered. The clutter had a condoling charm, however. And the drinks were good, well made, cherished with love.
Several slaves were running around taking order, making sure customers were continuously chummy.
James sat at the bar, taking to the bartender, discussing a whereabouts to find a new slave. Who sold good slaves? He wasn't as impressed with the one out front, but the smile had a quirk he couldn't quite shake. Maybe it was just slaves in general, he was hoping maybe someone would know a good creature that held slaves of good quality and habit. He was not exactly from the town, but to call him a new comer would be a bit rash. He had come by before and had been almost blessed with a good slave. He was hoping, yet, again, to be perhaps, find something of equal or more value.
The bartender told him about a slave auction happening, the whereabouts. James stared at his drink. He had not taken a sip. There was no need. Only out of politeness for the tavern's help did he purchase a commodity. He straightened his collar, standing up, thanking the bartender for his time, words, and advice. He started for the door, to take another walk through the town.
