The shop was quiet for once. No outlandish customers to set the waitresses off on a yelling match. It was peaceful for the most part..aside from two rowdy children trying to act as if they belonged inside such an adult establishment. One child threw down a old ripped up card that represented some sort of key to winning the card game. In an odd way, the scene made her smile. The weren’t open yet so it really was not against the rule to have them inside. After all, the two were siblings and children of one of her waitresses.

Dawn was slowly seeping its way into the sky roaring like a fierce dragon with bright oranges, and soft pinks. The colors were just barely seeping through the crevice of the entrance to the inn. “ Ha, You won because you cheated!” One of the children who was obviously the loser blurted the words out while sticking his tongue out in a teasing fashion.

“ Be nice to your brother.” Ristina flashed a courteous smile at her waitress that was just now deciding to reprimand her children. Her hands were focused on making sure that the beer was completely stocked, food was not going bad, and that the burners worked before open. Most taverns had a law of opening at night only. However, her business was first an overnight business, and second a tavern.

The smell of the inn greeted her nose as if caressing the scents of freshly cleaned glass, dusted tables, and flowers that were placed in vases on each table. It was tough trying to look like a cool tavern, but managing the early morning crowd. Business was great during the festival, and the income from that day paid for a few room upgrades, and a pay ahead on a monthly payment for being a business. This meant that the slow days they were having lately made little effect on the income of the month. Though, if business stayed this way there would eventually be a setback.

“ Alright you too, off you go. We are about to open, and you know the rules kidos. Stay out of the inn, or go to your rooms upstairs for lunch, and dinner. Clean it up.” The children’s mother scolded them gently as they scooped up their cards and skedaddled out of the inn so fast that not even a cheetah could catch up to them.

“ What did you do to them to make them that scared?” One waitress spoke up as her hands swung open the entrance door to place a flag with the words open on it, and then switch the closed sign to open.

“ Oh, you know threaten them with scary stories about the magical beings in the world.”

“ Really? Magic is what scares them?” The other waitress laughed at her friend as if it was a typical occurrence.

Ristina enjoyed watching her workers share moments of joy after all the hard work they had gone through. The regulars would come through sooner or later trying their hands at getting some new concoction of beer, or a offer for a new recipe if she paid them in coin. The light of dawn finally reached through the inn, brighter than the sun it seemed as it shined upon the counters, and tabletops through the windows, and entrance door. What regulars would come in today? The celebration had brought in a few strange folk that were never again seen, and some that became regulars as usual.
