Chapter 101: Dogs
The tavern's patrons were loud, talking, dancing, and laughing, their spirits high as the drinks flowed endlessly. There were no empty glasses, no wait, no fuss, just joy and easy mirth.
Mya glided behind the counter, watching as the patrons ate, played cards, or left to entertain their partners in the rooms upstairs. The tavern was full to the brim as three ships had docked safely that day, bringing large groups of eager people wanting to celebrate the end of their last voyage and the beginning of their new life.
In all honesty, Mya did not like being around people, but when they were so uninhibited, so free, she found it easier. There was no need to guess what they were thinking, what stories they were spinning or lies they were telling. They were their true selves, something Mya both admired and found easy to take advantage of to help her family's cause.
