The little lass wiggles over to him happily. "'Ats 'poons Sooie da!" She points to where Gorlim watches like a wild fox, eyes glinting in amusement at the sight of the Purple One and his daughter.
"Oh, you are new!" he said. "It's been some time since we got many new faces. No, these rats are the bar waitstaff; they belong to themselves and work for Gil, the faun who runs the kitchen. Who I happen to live with, so I take all harm done to a rat personally. Because then I'd have a sobbing faun in my arms that night, not a happy one. Also, you're not allowed to use violence in here. You are not allowed to bring grudges from your world, and you are not allowed to have sex in public." Something about that young man's face tells Asar-Suti he might be one of the few people needing that rule spelling out for. "The first drink is on the house. After that, the bar will keep a tab for you, but you must pay it - currency from your world is fine. You can get a room here, food, almost everything, from the bar. You can duel outside by the lake side if you totally have to, but please, no scorch marks in the lawn. I am in charge of the garden; I hate having to get scorch marks out of the lawn."
