He watched the woman over the rim of his mug as he drank the Nut ale. Trying, and failing he assumed, to watch her without her noticing. Without anything else to do he realized that he was already half-way done his drink. He put the mug down on the table and then looked up to find the woman who had bought him the drink standing in front of his table.
"Would you mind if I sat down?" She asked. "I don't assume you will, but it always pays to be polite."
"No, please. And thank you for the drink." He answered, trying to his best to follow her lead and be polite.
She sat down and looked at him with a slight smile on her face. A smile that tilted her head to the side, a few stray strands of black curls falling onto her face. Her beauty, obvious form a distance was all the more stunning up close. Straightening she brush her hair out of her face. He smiled back and took another sip of his drink. She looked at his cup as he put it down and then raised her right hand into the air.
"I suppose you're feeling a little bit confused. Out of place perhaps?"
He let his breath out of his nose slowly before speaking. "No. Not confused." He looked away at some of the patrons crowding the bar and thought for a moment. "Not confused...lighter. More at ease."
"I'm glad." She smiled at him again.
