64 Refuge Part 3

Bramble Street, Delmar city

On one of the busiest roads in District C was were one of the liveliest restaurants in town stood, but it operated more like a bar than a restaurant. From the outside, the place looked clean and beautiful. Large stones and wooden beams made out the building's outer structure. Seeing inside was a bit difficult because of the stained glass, but the laughter and cheer from inside could be felt outside.

As you enter the restaurant through the heavy hardwood door your welcome by amazing smells and clapping hands. It's as charming inside as it was outside. Round wooden beams support the second floor and the light fixtures attached to them.

The walls were decorated with memorabilia from the owner's younger days as he spent his time hunting down all manner of creatures. The restaurant was packed mostly with locals and a few refugees who were drawn in by the smell and sound.

Several long tables were occupied by, what must have been different groups who bonded together over great food and company. The smaller tables had people who were singing and dancing only a few people seemed to mind more company.

A large sweating figure working in the back wearing a chef's uniform was Roy. He had just finished a few orders with help from the other workers in the kitchen so he rang a bell to call one of the waitresses.

Quickly answering the ringing bell was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her 20s. She had scarlet eyes and long flowing red hair that waved about like fire in the wind. Sally Fox was known as a hidden gem in District C. Her smile brightens up everyone's day making the already pleasant time spent at the restaurant that much better.

Having a bunch of orders stacking up next to him Roy urged sally to hurry up "move faster theirs another set of food that's almost done. The packed salt gobbler and fog sweet bome go to table 11 while the Strix crumble, dropheogus cake, brind frost lovebird, giggling cookies all go to table 23 on the second floor".

Sally looked at Roy in confusion "But, brother the second floor isn't my section".

Roy was tired but he still had a look of understanding on his face " I know that right now your gonna have to do other people's tables as well as your own theirs a lot more people in here than usual. I knew that when the refugees came here would be problems, but if this happens every day I'm going to die from exhaustion".

Roy waved his hand in his face to he cooled himself down while sally got back to work. Despite the place being more full than usual sally didn't grimace over it she worked happily serving every customer with a smile on her face.

Sitting at table 9 all alone was a man wearing a casual dark blue button up shirt with black pants and shoes. He was well groomed just as he always was when he came to the restaurant with the oil in his hair keeping it slick and smooth. His clothes did nothing to hide his muscular figure or his strong shoulders.

He was the kind of man that would catch any woman's eye and even make men glance back twice. Just for a second look as they silently curse his very existence in their hearts while secretly yearning to be him.

He was a regular at the leaping lizard never once in the past five years since he found the place did he miss a single day it was open. That man's name was Trent Mason rank 1 archer who works as apart of the Delmar City guards.

Roy looked out the serving window at the man and became a bit sad because he knew why that man always came to the same restaurant every single day and sat in the same spot for the past five years. It was because he liked Roy's sister sally that man wasn't the only person who liked sally it was just that he was the most persistent one of them all. It was a shame he was just as spineless as he was persistent when it came to confessing his feelings to sally.

Roy uttered with the look of pity on his face "him again its the same everyday its like clockwork". Practically everyone who worked at the restaurant already knew the truth along with many of the regulars. A betting pool was even started on the day he would finally confess to sally. To help him out the regulars made a secret agreement to gave the man his own table that no one would sit at when he was there.

Walking up towards the serving window hot and a bit sweaty was miss sally still with plenty of energy to burn. She walked up to her brother and said: "what's next".

Roy waved his sister over closer as he spoke into her ear, "when are you going to date that man already I know you like him to. If neither of you makes a move then your relationship will go no were".

Sally blushed as she called her brother an idiot and told him to stay out of it. Roy just let his sister snap at him then he handed her more food so she would leave.

When she left Roy quickly took out a pin and paper, wrote something down, called another waitress over and handed the letter to her to hand over to Trent. The waitresses didn't need an explanation she knew the story and immediately understood what Roy was trying to do.

She handed Trent the letter and quickly left being handed a letter by a woman that wasn't sally didn't interest Trent, but he knew it would have been rude not to read it. So he did planning to let the woman down easy later. He thought he was going to read a love letter, but after reading the letter Trent paid for his meal and left the restaurant with hurried steps.

Roy saw this and cursed himself for his failure, "damn it I spooked him that mans like a deer when it hears a twig snap". Roy was upset by his failure and so was the waitress that helped him, but both of them knew they would have another chance tomorrow.
