Fae and Fare (The Wandering Inn, #2)

by Pirateaba

The faeries watched as Erin laid Ryoka down and then looked at the other patrons of her inn. They all had the same far-off expression in their eyes. “Should we remove the flowers?” “But ‘twas a gift! We cannot take it back!” “What if we gave actual gold? Would that suffice?” Inside the inn, Erin brushed against Klbkch. The Antinium had gone completely still after drinking his mug, just like Selys and Halrac. Now the slight nudge sent him toppling backwards, and like a domino the Drake and Human toppled over as well. The faeries watched as Erin began to panic. “‘Tis funny.” “Yes.” The faeries paused. They looked at each other. “I wonder what the drink tastes like?” “Swill, I heard.” “Good swill?” There was only one way to find out.
