Archer watched as the young man nodded frantically, as much as his pinned position allowed, before collapsing to the floor as Archer released him. Turning smoothly to the cat woman, his tone softened, a charming grin tugging at his lips.
''Would you like to join us for dinner, gorgeous?'' he asked.
Leira beamed before nodding. ''That sounds good, Arch.''
After that, the four of them settled in to eat. He ordered more food for the group. The generous spread drew delighted smiles from each woman. The innkeepers suddenly recognized them and hurriedly offered free meals.
Archer rejected the offer of free food and paid for everything, which surprised the older man but he happily took the gold coins. While the group ate, he pulled out some ale and offered it to the women.
''Try some of this ale,'' he said with a smile. ''It's some of Sera's less potent stuff.''
