I live for the applause 2 Glade 123
She wore a black skin tight dress that went slightly above her knees with a slit on both sides that wasn't more than an inch long with dragonic snake-like patterns. A silver Broad Belt around her waist with a coin pouch tied to it. An Two Assassin's Daggers were sheathed in a thigh holster on her left and right leg, hidden slightly under her dress. If her cloak blew back, both daggers would be revealed. A risky choice of hiding her dagger. She wasn't on a job today, so she wasn't too bothered. It's for protection. Two throwing knives were stashed in each boot if she needed them.
She was looking for food, then lots of wine, preferably Red Lightening. Any kind of hot food with a glass of red lighting wine along with it would do. Isolde waved the young barmaid over to her table for four in the corner. "Hello, darling. May I order food, I will take whatever you have to eat, and a glass of red lighting wine, please." The barmaid nodded, smiled, and went to get her order ready, hopefully. Isolde was starving. She hadn't eaten since early noon and it was now late evening.
It wasn't long and the barmaid was back at her table with a circular tray, the food and drink she had ordered were placed on it. "Here you go, ma'am." The barmaid placed her food and drink on the table. Isolde handed the money over, giving the barmaid a small smile. "Thank you, darling! Have a lovely evening!" And the assassin-in-training dug into her meal, it was stew, scalding hot, and wasn't that bad.

Luna had found herself at the tavern out of sheer boredom, seeking some form of entertainment or distraction from the mundane routine of her daily life. The lively atmosphere, the clinking of glasses, and the low hum of conversations provided an alluring backdrop for her idle curiosity. It was a nice place to go when one wanted to forget about life.
As she meandered through the crowd, Luna's gaze fell upon a familiar pair of eyes that seemed to echo a distant memory. The woman in the black dress, with her striking appearance and dragonic snake-like patterns, piqued Luna's interest. Her nagging suspicion that their paths had crossed before grew stronger, and she decided to approach the woman to uncover the truth. With purposeful strides, Luna confidently made her way to the table, her regular clothes swaying softly with each step.
Upon reaching the table, Luna cocked her head to the side, her eyes studying the woman intently. "Have we met before?" she inquired, her voice laced with genuine curiosity. Though she couldn't pinpoint exactly where or when she had encountered the woman, the sense of familiarity lingered stubbornly in her mind. Luna's gaze briefly flitted across the woman’s form, not noticing the daggers. Picking up on small details was still something that escaped the budding assassin’s skillset.
It had been a couple of days or so since Luna last saw the mysterious woman but the fact that her facial features had been mostly concealed made it hard for Luna to put two and two together. She'd gone though a lot of changes over the past year so random people she'd met didn't stick in her memory easily. Most of her mental bandwith went to thinking about future jobs and when she could squeeze in another training session. The whirlwind of experiences and growth had kept her mind occupied, pushing the memory of the enigmatic woman to the recesses of her thoughts.

. . .
Isolde was sipping from her glass of red lighting wine when a familar face stepper into the bar, then headed towards her table. Isolde narrowed her eyes at the young girl who looked familiar. She just couldn't place her finger on it. As the girl grew closer, recognition flashed through her eyes. It was the girl from a couple of days ago she met in the midden. Luna her name was.
Isolde sat her glass down on the table and took a bite of her stew, it was scalding hot and she held in a stray tear that threatened to fall. She took a gulp of her cold wine and leaned back in relief. Then the girl stood infront of her tabled and asked Isolde if they met before.
"Hello, Darling. I belive we have met before." The Prostitute nodded her head in greeting. "A couple of days ago, infact."
She glanced the girl up and down, and took another bite of her stew, this time blowing at it to cook it down before she ate it. She wasn't wearing her armour, simple civilian clothing, much like Isolde. However, unlike Isolde, she wasn't a prostitute.
"What brings you here, darling? Looking for some company?" She gave the girl a wink. Perhaps she was or wasn't. It wasn't any of Isolde's business, however... Curiosity killed the the cat and satisfaction brought it back. "There's nothing wrong with that if you are."
"Why don't you take a seat, and tell me how you have been these last couple of day? Hmm?" Isolde nodded towards the seat infront of the girl.
"Do you drink? I can order you one of these?" She held up her glass of wine, it sloshed around the glass as she raised it before lowering it to her lips and taking a sip. "Red Lightening Wine, one of my favourites."

Luna offered a friendly yet firm smile to Isolde as she took a seat across from her. "Oh, I remember now! And no, I'm not here for company, at least not in the way you're suggesting," she clarified, her tone light but unmistakable. “Sure, I’d love to chat. And yes, I’d love a drink! I just came here for a little fun.” She blushed at the wink but didn't notice that she'd done so.
She paused for a moment, her gaze thoughtful as she sat and considered her words carefully. "Given you had business in the Midden and your apparent skillset, I can't help but wonder why you're at this tavern, presumably doing another kind of job. It strikes me as an intriguing choice for someone with your background and abilities." Luna's eyes held a hint of curiosity as she awaited Isolde's response.
Luna's inquisitiveness didn't stop there. She remembered the mysterious man with white hair from their previous encounter in the midden and couldn't resist inquiring further. "By the way, did you manage to resolve your business with the man in the white hair? Do you work together? I couldn’t put a finger on what your relationship is." She couldn’t hide her interest because she associated Isolde with work… and finding work when she wasn’t all that skilled was hard for her. There was always monster hunting work, but that was friggin dangerous and her troupe wasn’t always doing stuff she was comfortable tagging along for.
As Luna sat, her mind raced. She needed something to do other than just sit around and wait for her drink to come. She tapped her boot on her chair, adjusted her sitting position, and even practiced materializing and dematerializing the handle of her katana absent mindedly. It’d be clear that Luna was in a very hyper mood and she was having trouble focusing. Maybe it was the drink she’d already had, maybe it was just because this was the only interesting environment she’d been in today.
