I was working the inn and tavern alongside my uncle. It had been a typical day with dragon trappers coming in and out. Luckily they cannot reach my dragons hide out by any means. The only tunnel went through my room. It was an old escape route that uncle had dug. I pulled my hair back into a simple braid before I stepped out into the main area with my arms laden with food and drink.

"Ah! Eira about time child these travelers are hungry!" Uncle shouted waving me over. "Sorry uncle I couldn't find my hair band." I said walking over towards my uncle and some very intimidating men. "So this is the jewel of the isle, I can see why everyone suggested this place Ryker." One of the cronies muttered as I went to place the food down. I glanced at uncle who puffed up angrily. "Now none of that here. You may say what you will about eira outside of the Nadder or you can leave." Uncle said fiercely. "Peace friend" a smaller much more charming man said walking towards us. "He was just leaving anyways. Would you happen to have a place for my brother and I to talk privately. I have the gold if that is your concern." The newcomer said as the rude man backed away all but running. My uncle huffed uncertain. I gave him a nod that it was ok as I continued around the inn.

"Alright the Nadder has two rooms for business deals and such. You may use the one. We charge by the hour. Three gold pieces for one hour. Eira, would you mind showing them to a room?" Uncle said in consent. "Of course Uncle!" I said setting my tray down and walking back over. "Would you two like an upper floor room or ground level mr.." I trailed off leading them towards the back of the inn. "Upper floor please. And it's viggo and this is my brother Ryker." The more charming yet just as intimidating man Viggo said. I nodded as I lead the two upstairs to a room set off to the corner. I opened the door reviling a square room with tables and chairs spread out and a desk with paper ink charcoal and anything else a business deal could need. "I hope this will do?" I asked as they inspected the room. "Perfectly. Eira would you mind bringing up refreshments for us?" Viggo said as his brother closed the blinds. "Of course! I shall knock three times to let you know it's me." I said before turning and closing the door leaving them to their discussion for the time being.
