Don’t you think this place needs some fun?” “Excitement? Here?” Gabby laughed with a playful glint in his eyes. “This tavern is just packed with stories, rumors and booze. That's the real charm of this place—nothing else.”

The tavern had become a central gathering place for the residents, where they could enjoy the latest alcohol creations from the city and engage in conversations about their day. The tavern was predictably packed by the time Zikk arrived. Boisterous laughter and lively chatter filled the air, accompanied by the unmistakable aroma of alcohol. Despite the owner of the tavern being visibly perspiring as he served the bustling crowd, a contented smile adorned his face. "Hey, did you catch sight of the beast Captain Roland took down today?" "Absolutely! That beast was nearly as towering as the city gate! Roland's strength has skyrocketed since he arrived here." "Speak of the devil."

Black and scaly with a beak full of jagged sharp teeth. In the distance a child cried, the sound cutting through the bleak night, as the moon shone down on quiet streets. I made my way across town to Sapiens, an old tavern that still operated on the outskirts of Briarshire. An establishment that had been passed down through generations and had even withstood the great Lycan wars from two and a half centuries ago. With my enhanced hearing I could make out the lowly chatter of patrons and the giggles coming from the women who worked there. It was a bar, but it also doubled as a bordello house.

"Phew, that was close." "Too close," Clifford added. "Voight is up to something. Let's buy the map and get out of here." They pulled me to the counter, where they spoke with the bartender.

Defining and securing its boundaries had been our primary focus for months. "That calls for a celebration," Dax declared, his earlier concerns momentarily forgotten. "First round at the new tavern on me." The tavern in question had opened just last week—the first business established by non-pack members within our territory. A pair of fox shifters from the Southern Coalition had requested permission to create a neutral gathering place for residents and visitors alike. We'd enthusiastically approved, recognizing the importance of communal spaces in building the society we envisioned. "I need to check on the water witches first," I said.

I never liked to be too predictable, either. Finally, I stopped in at the most expensive public baths. I treated myself to a luxurious soak and a rubdown. Clean, relaxed, and dressed in new clothes, I made my way to the Bell and Candle. It's a dark, dingy tavern - the kind of place where you'd expect to see thieves and members of the criminal underworld congregating in the corners, whispering and plotting. In fact, the clientele are mostly apprentices and journeymen craftsmen. They like the Bell and Candle because the beer is good, and cheap. Unfortunately, it's located a little too close to the tannery; when the wind shifts in the wrong direction, you get a reminder.

Then Ian pulled up a chair in front of Archie, having the ease of seeing everything going on around him. Archie turned and looked discreetly around the tavern. The interior of the tavern was calm, there were some couples at the table, other tables some men and, at the foot of the counter were a servant and the owner of the tavern, there was also a servant who walked from one side to the other taking the orders to the tables. Archie returned to his previous position. "It's pretty quiet here..." "It's a good place to trade discreetly." "You are absolutely right." "Let me go order our breakfast."

That night I went to the small tavern where my friend Nina recently got a job. As I walked into the tavern, I was hit by a wave of nostalgia. The place was shabby and run-down, with peeling wallpaper and creaky wooden floors. The air was thick with the smell of smoke and stale beer, but despite its shabby appearance, there was something undeniably charming about the place. I liked it.

He’s good at everything. My entire body was aching by the end of the day though. From the falling and jumping and twisting and balancing.
