"Then let me play tour guide, shall we?" She gives August a loving kiss, and releases his arm, saying, "Hurry back, my love." Then she takes Caesar's arm to lead him away. "There are two bartenders, Jack and Vince. Jack is also a satyr, but Vince is a pooka. Oh, and I do recommend the Bee Sting....."

"The Bee Sting? Mmm " He moves with her, walking with the big satyr is like a troll escort when it comes to size.

Yes, the notion of leading him is at best a formality, but she does take his arm. Good grief, those hooves are a threatening size! "Well, I enjoy it, at any rate. Might be too light for you."

"Oh I don't drink as much as you might think. Athlete, you know? Body is a temple... mind you, mind is dedicated to Aphrodite, but hey"

"Oh, yes...I think I remember August mentioning...you wrestle, do I have that right? I mean, aside from being a very wonderful landlord."

"Yes, professional wrestling so some think it doesn't count as fighting, but I can tell you the lumps feel real enough. And thanks. I just stumbled on to real estate as a side thing for retirement plans, and it turned out to be a pretty good way to help other fae."

"ALso, they've been great tenants. Sparrow's art on that wall? AMAZING"

"Isn't it wonderful?" Clear familial pride there, in addition to objective critique. "She and August are both so skilled in their visual arts."

They enter the tavern, and she looks to see who might be behind the bar.

Well Jack is there to be sure, "Baroness, hey what can I get you?"

Coradel beams at Jack. "Caesar Carolos, I'd like you to meet Jack, who runs our tavern. Jack, Caesar's staying for a bit, and I thought he'd appreciate your offerings."

"You kidding? Everyone knows Caesar, well anyone who watches the wrestling... " Jack says "Let me get you something solid, my friend"

"Ah, thanks... " He smiles "Nice to meet you, Jack"

"Really? I've never watched professional wrestling. You'll forgive me that, I hope, Caesar."

"Oh sure, you might like it, it's soap opera with muscles" A grin

and he explains
