The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

Swoozy liquid is just a fairy word for mead... Surely as barmaids you both knew that?

*She sighs*

My lady is not thinking straight since... Well... It has been an unsettling time. Plus Kalvos is away, that always worries her. With good reason, because he always gets into scrapes.

Her Grace is in low spirits. She needs a change of air... Or waters...

Huh! That SMacca! She told me she'd got a job here so I camt to keep her company. I haven't seen her doing any work yet! Do you know where she is tonight? No? She's gone out for a meal with Tanith! Just casually told me she was going. She didn't even ask me if I wanted to go!

*He looks at Lillikan*.

Excuse me Madam. The serving girl is taking my order.

*He looks back at Meadow*.

Most kind. But no need for a silver tray. I would like it at seven thirty. If that is acceptable?

*He looks at the menu*.

Not much variety. But I'm not one to complain. I'll have poached grindle eggs on toast, with a little light seasoning.

*He looks up over the menu*.

That's for breakfast. Do hope you're making note. Now, I'd also like a little hot coffee.

*He returns his gaze to the menu*.

Now. I'll have a radigan stew, and a glass of wine for supper. I assume this is included in the bill?

I am sorry, I thought you had finished sir.

*Lillikin tries lift the bottle.*

Oooof! It is a bit heavy. I can't manage.

*She looks sad.*

I am useless... I have tried sprinkling fairy dust and singing her the fairy dance song... But nothing seems to raise her spirits... Fairies are supposed to gladden a sad heart and bring light into the dark... But I am useless.

*Her wings droop wistfully.*

Poor princess.
