Where to Dine?

*Barble's Shop, Radogast. Late Afternoon, 1 DSTR*

"Dinner sounds lovely, Elthien. However, I hope you understand if this steak is held for a different meal and not ours. I don't think it would be appreciated if I brought you back to my home to share this meal. Where do you suggest we meet so that we may discuss?"

Auriel frowned behind her visor. Dinner at Isai's place would have been ideal, as Auriel couldn't eat with a mask on, but neither did she wanted to be seen in public without one. Auriel had a distinctive face, and though she hadn't seen her picture on any of the bounty boards as of late, she knew that did not mean that she wasn't wanted by the law.

Auriel was distracted enough by her thoughts that she didn't notice Isai's pained expression after he touched his leg. After a few moments, of consideration, Auriel responded, "I do know of a tavern in the area we can meet at where we can be seen together without drawing any unwanted attention to yourself, but... most of the food usually sucks."

The tavern Auriel was referring to, called The Wastrel's Haunt, was owned by a drow known as Maelin Daer. Maelin was an escaped slave and a friend to the Rising Star. Auriel was confident she could secure a private room at the establishment if Isai was willing to put up with the poor food quality and watery beverages.

"Otherwise, I suppose I can let you into one of my places, and I can cook you something nicer there."

Auriel was referring to the safehouse she, Jack, and LeLu had just come from. If Isai preferred to go this route, Auriel would give Jack and LeLu some money and ask them to buy some fresh produce from the market.
