Howl

Toki and Gojin had initially thought this was their receiver. However, they received their answer shortly after...

"Can I have a bottle of ale?" the Knight asked with a smile. He bore no weapon and was recognised solely by the cross on the crest of his armour.

Averyl, the bartender, immediately set to work. With practiced ease, she grabbed a tankard from the shelf and filled it with frothy ale from a nearby cask. She carried it over to the knight's table with a warm, yet professional, smile. As she set the tankard down before him, the knight nodded in appreciation, his eyes gleaming with gratitude.

Turning on her heel, Averyl returned to her post behind the bar, her steps steady. She leaned in slightly to continue the conversation with Gojin.

"Is he a regular?" Gojin asked in a low voice, his eyes briefly lingering on the young Knight before returning his attention to her.
