The dispossessed Lords Alecos Sorrowsong and Ihram Krigsbroder entered the One-Eyed Shark. Ihram scanned the walls and ceiling, trying to take in the atmosphere without resorting to judging the establishment's patrons. He let out a chuckle in his inspection, and nudged Alecos.
"Look at that. A stuffed shark."
Finally, having decided that this was a trustworthy place of reverie frequent with "game, entertainment, and trade" [sic; gambling, sailors' yarns and women, thievery and hired swords], Ihram examined the patrons themselves. They didn't meet lordly standards, certainly, but it was his obligation to speak with the common man and always to understand. He took a seat and looked expectantly at Alecos, gesturing to a chair opposite him.

He took a seat and looked expectantly at Alecos, gesturing to a chair opposite him. Alecos, rather than scanning the surroundings, looked straight at the people in the inn, identifying threats as he could. These are not my people, only a cruel imitation. Why? He took a seat beside Ihram, remaining upstanding and aloof as one like him should. It was only proper in the setting, thouigh regretfully it was quite obvious. "Let us hope they do not sell shark-related products. That is a level of cruelty detestable," Alecos said to Ihram. He disapproved of animal abuse when uncalled for. All the same, he had a small smile, hidden somewhere, because he was happy to be with people once again. |

Ihram frowned and nodded. "Shark would make a rather large meal. I can't even think of a man with an appetite insatiable enough as to eat one. At least, often. I prefer crab, anyway."
Ihram drew a cloth from his pocket and wiped the table, then retrieved his goblet from a small traveling sack and set it upon the table. Flagging down a serving girl, he inquired after the establishment's specialty.

A redheaded barmaid walks over, smiling at the men.
"Hello, sirs. Our specialty is imported wine and liquors, although we have some domestic ales as well. We serve all sorts of food, especially fried seafood. If you'd like a seared swordfish steak, our chef has been making quite a few of those lately. They're very popular."
She holds up a notebook, still smiling sweetly.
"So...what can I get for you?"

Alecos looked upon the barmaid indifferently, raising an eyebrow and saying,
"I'll have half a seared swordfish steak, and a double helping of tabbouleh, if you would. And a Summerwinds, if you would be so kind." Summerwinds, of course, was the name of the wine from Alecos' home, from which he was now exiled. He hoped he might get some news as to the state of affairs there.

To make up for his compatriot's lack of enthusiasm, Ihram smiled warmly at the girl. Without a moment of hesitation, he ordered, "Ah, some more swordfish as well, and a domestic ale. Whatever you'd prefer."
Once she left, he began obsessively wiping the table.

I want attention, but not because of your antics. Also, the barman was cleaning the table when we came in. You don't need to clean it several hundred more times." The last part was a bit of a jibe, but Ihram had to stop. Didn't he realise it was important to leave a good impression? |

Ihram relented in the face of Alecos's reprimand, but harshly whispered back, "It is one thing to chat with commoners, and another to eat at a dirty table. Who knows what manner of ill will lives upon its surface, impervious to the dirty washrag and unseen to the eye?" He tucked the handkerchief back into his pocket and went back to admiring the atmosphere that was in the opposite direction of Alecos. As enlightened a person as Alecos was, he didn't seem to understand that infection was imminent at every turn.

It must have been hard to clean his gear while at sea. |

It must have been hard to clean his gear while at sea. Ihram blanched and wriggled a bit in his seat, carefully examining his clothing and producing his washcloth to inspect it closely for any stain or mote. Before he reacted loudly, however, he caught on and released a knowing smile. "Yes," he mused, looking down at the table, "I am being silly, aren't I." Straightening up and changing the topic, he asked his friend, "Now I wonder, what does swordfish taste like?" |

After a few minutes, the waitress returns with food and drink, allowing Ihram to figure out for himself exactly what swordfish tastes like. Spoiler: it's delicious.
"Will that be all, sirs?"
The red-haired waitress smiles sweetly at the two.

"Aha! Our meal! Thank you, miss. I believe that is all for now." Ihram pours the ale into his own goblet and raises the cup in toast. "To a jolly ending to our tale!" He then takes a hearty swig of the drink and voraciously – yet with dignity – carves his way through the seafood.

"Hmmph. Thank you." Alecos said, icy and unblinking, as he was. "That shall be all for the moment." He raised his long-stemmed glass of Summerwinds in salutation to Ihram's toast, adding, "and to a home refounded." Bringing the glass to his lips, he took a sip, before placing it down and delicately picking his way through the meal, enjoying it.
"The swordfish is good. I wonder where they caught it."

Seeing Alecos's cold treatment of the barmaid, Ihram adopted a stern expression. "Hey, now, be nice."
He was soon caught up in the meal, however, and responded between mouthfuls, "Probably open sea, like where we were. Can't 'magine swordfishes on the coast. Odd how we ne'er ate any on the trip here."

"Not so odd when you consider the captain, Ihram. He was as cheap as they come. Wouldn't have risked trying to catch swordfish." Alecos said, as he finished off the last of his swordfish. He had to admit, it was good, but he wouldn't say it out loud. It wouldn't help the commoner's sense of class if he were to be seen appreciating them. "I hope they make decent tabbouleh here," he said, as he picked up his special utensil for the salad.

"Well, when you put it like that, I suppose so. They did have a bunch of oarsmen. Practically galley slaves, the poor fellows. And yes, that is where my Second Isle ring went."
As Alecos moved on to his tabbouleh, Ihram went to the bar to see about securing lodgings at the One-Eyed Shark, at least for the night.

Giplor had come down the steps from the rooms with Nereida. He was garbed in a fine suit that fit him perfectly. Nereida would be dressed in a beautiful silk dress with pearl dust wove into it. Giplor didn't spend more than thirty seconds at the counter.
"Where's the owner at? I need that bill so I can leave." Giplor spoke in a demanding tone, supporting the fact that he was in a hurry.
The moment whoever showed up and gave him a bill or not, he would take back off out the front without a single word.

Mr. Baker quietly walks up and hands Giplor the bill.
"I hope you enjoyed your stay, Sir. Ma'am."
Once he gets the payment, he shuffles off.

Lord Ihram returned to Lord Alecos and placed a key beside the latter's dish. "I've secured us both lodgings!" he proudly declared. Until we can each find a more permanent residence, I believe these rooms shall suit us for now." Smiling, he went to take his luggage to his room and unpack.
