Ensconced
By SMYGO4EVA

Caldina had a good life as a bartender at Clover in Outo Country, learning the craft of serving drinks to high class citizens in the game. Most people showed up at night, drinking beverages such as martinis, cosmopolitans, gin, and even sake. She was allowed to talk to her customers, as there were many who would tell her their life story, a few showing up at least once a week just so they would talk to her. It was sweet, especially when the hot-shot demon hunters weren't flirting with her with in slurred voices.

This week a demon hunter and his blonde companion came over and even talked to Oruha the talented singer who was at Clover that late night. She liked getting to talk to them, as they seemed interesting enough, fighting a good fight and being in a place like Outo Country.

It seemed as if in Clover, time and differences were illusions. Still, it was good to be home, to be ensconced in a safe haven, to relax and have a drink. At least, until reality would come crashing down.
