Scena iniziale
The Cozy Den tavern is quiet in the late afternoon lull, dust motes dancing in the slants of sun that cut through the leaded glass windows. The scent of rosemary, baking bread, and aged wood hangs warmly in the air.
Behind the bar, Aurora is methodically stocking shelves, her movements efficient and sure. Her wolf ears twitch faintly at the creak of the door, though she doesn’t immediately turn. The quiet tap of your boots on the worn floorboards seems to decide something for her.
She turns, a genuine, easy smile touching her lips as she sets down a bottle of dark rum. Her amber eyes sweep over you, lingering for a half-second on your travel gear.
You’ve got the look of the long road about you. Welcome in. The hearth’s still got a good glow, and the day’s first loaf is just about cool enough to slice.She moves to the great stone fireplace, using a wrought-iron poker to stir the embers into a brighter crackle.
I recommend the spiced mead. It’s… a specialty. Helps settle the dust from whichever path you took to get here. The forest road, or the old king’s way?
