Excitement Peaked

"Then why are you standing here?" Kaizan chided. "Go and find the relevant one." 

"Yes, m'lord," she nodded vehemently. Her magic was about to crackle in her hands when a heavy voice came from behind. 

"Kaizan, are you going for dinner?" Tadgh asked. 

Shocked, she whipped her head in the direction of the second man with wide eyes. Was he also in the group? With great difficulty, Maple suppressed her magic. 

"Yes," Kaizan replied, still looking at the barmaid. "Can you move?" he said to her. "I have to step out." 

"Y— yes, m'lord," she said nervously and moved aside. 

Kaizan came out, locked his room and after giving her one more look, joined Tadgh who was standing on the stairs. 

She saw Kaizan shaking his head, while saying, "I have yet to see a more hideous barmaid!"

Tadgh chuckled. "I thought that was a man dressed as a woman."

Kaizan burst into a laugh.
