The Center of Attraction

I~The start of something different

~ Nathaniel ~

Slowly turning in my sleep, i force my eyes open to be greeted by the sunlight has that seeps through the window as it shines brightly through the gaps. I sit up from my bed stretching my limbs as i feel relief and relax

Nathaniel: "yawn~"

Letting out a yawn as I get up from my bed, I make my way to the bathroom which was across from my room, as I get in and undress myself as I get in the shower and let the water pelt me with its warmness, as i let out content sigh as i clean myself, together with my wings which almost take up half the space in the small space under the shower. Finishing up, I closed the shower behind me, dried myself off and gone back to my room to get changed

I exited the room to go downstairs into the tavern that i'll be working for the rest of my life, which isn't that bad. I hurriedly gone down the steps to be greeted by the tavern owner as he greets me with a smile

David: "Good morning Nate"

Nathaniel: Morning to you too David"

I said with a smile as i go down the stairs and immediately get headlocked by David as he ruffles my hair playfully

Nathaniel: "Hey!, quit it!"

I say laughing at his shenanigans as he finally lets go of me while i fix my ruffled up hair

David: "So, ready to finally start working?"

Nathaniel: "Ready as i'll ever be"

I said with an enthusiastic smile at David who in turn, smiled back

David: "Well, go on, don't want you to slack of now"

Nathaniel: "I won't!"

He nodded as he turned around to do his work, before turning back to Nathaniel to tell him one more thing

David: "Oh, and if anyone's causing any trouble, let me know okay?"

He said as he placed his hand on my shoulder before squeezing once and giving me a smile as he turned around to get back to work as I gone towards and behind h the bar so that i can start serving the other patrons

As i cleaned the bar top, i heard the sound of the front doors opening as i looked up to see a knight, I think he was a knight because of the armor and the sword that rested besides his hip, but what else I realized was that he had a tail, and as he took of his helmet, I realpized he was a wolfkin. He proceeded to walk up towards me with a smile as he sits down

Nathaniel: "Welcome to the tavern! What can i get you?"

Wolfkin: "I'll have some rum if you don't mind"

I nodded before going to work, grabbing the bottle with said contents and pouring it in a big mug, after that i handed him the glass with a complimentary smile, he smiled back after taking a swig of his drink before speaking

Wolfkin: "So... what's a person like you doing working here at a tavern?"

I contemplated on what to answer as i just gave a summarized explanation
