The Minister and Cleric Inn is a beautiful establishment built mostly to cater to the needs of the families of students at the Academy. The headmaster has reserved several rooms for use of Academy families and students at any time of the night or day. The Inn serves some of the best food in the area with the exception of the Academy. Connoisseurs come from the lands around to partake of the cuisine. The innkeeper's name is Mary Sheveron, a stern middle aged woman notable for running a tight ship.

The village was quaint and well placed. It was obvious that it was built to cater to the needs of students. Bastian opened the door of the Minister and Cleric and allowed Evy to pass inside before he did.
The restaurant was hardly populated except for a few waitresses lounging around in wait for customers. "Excuse me, are you serving breakfast?" He asked, as polite as possible. He'd had some experience with humans as a healer and his manner was well recieved.
"Yes sir. Right over here." Said a pretty girl who smiled broadly at him.
Bastian sat at the indicated table and thanked the waitress as she sat some menus in front of them. "Do you feel like eating a lot or just something light?" He asked Evy. "We'll start with tea though, please." he added to the waitress.

Evy waved her hand, looking through the menu.
" Just something light, I'm not too hungry." She looked up at him and smiled at him, purposefully, in a manner that made the young, pretty waitress frown and bustle off, leaving only the remark of:
" Tea will be out in a minute."
Evy allowed herself a little smirk, before continuing to look through the menu.

The waitress returned with their tea, and waited for their order. She was significantly colder than she had been, but Sebastian ignored it.
"Let's just have some of the fresh pastries I hear about." He nodded toward the waitress indicating that she should bring them.
It wasn't a long wait, evidently they had baked prior to the start of the day and were ready for fast service. The deserts were flaky and still warm, a shining example of the Inn's food quality.
Hungrier than he'd anticipated, Bastian finished the meal and emptied his teacup. Waiting for Evy to finish he said. "We'll go back to the Academy after this, I want to see the campus' layout. Are you coming along?"

Evy popped the last bit of the meal into her mouth, drained the rest of the, daintily wipped her mouth off with a napkin and nodded.
" Sure, I'd love to." She winked at him, before the both of them headed back down the path to the academy.

Samyule opened the door for Ella again at the Inn, but immediately spotted the group of waitresses. He assessed their looks, deciding they were attractive - but not tempting enough for him - and took the liberty to choose their own table since no one else was in the restaurant at the time.
"Quiet place, huh?" he said, attempting some conversation while being closely watched by the waitresses who were obviously deciding who would go and serve them.

She smiled, setting her bags onto the floor beside her.
" Its not so bad. A bit of quiet is nice everynow and then, something I don't get regularly." A waitress with nut brown hair and hazel eyes made her way over to them, handing out menus.
" What would you like to drink, dears?" She asked, pulling out a bit of paper and pen.
" Tea for me, thank you." Ella said, before looking back at her menu.

"Water with lemon if you have any." Samyule said to the waitress with a winning wink, thinking I guess you're the winner, eh?
"did you mean if we have any water or lemons?" She giggled, thinking she'd made a hilariously funny joke.
Samyule smiled patiently, "ha ha, Lemons of course. don't let your friends hear you joking with me, they might get jealous."
She merely blushed and walked away giggling to herself. Samyule rolled his eyes at Ella. "Pretty, but vapid. Not wort the time." The last statement was added with a wink as his own little joke.

Ella watched after the waitress with an expression close to disgust.
" Bloody tosspot." She said, accent prevalent. She looked down at the menu, settling for a simple salad to offset the sweets she would have later.
" And who would you deem wort the time, Yule?" She asked setting her menu aside.

Evasively he replied. "Hardly any of these." The girls saw his glance and he waved friendlily at them.
"I doubt they've heard the meaning of 'hard-to-get.'" He sighed. "It's not just me though, they'd probably throw themselves at the first guy that walked into the inn."
When the waitress walked back to the table carrying the drinks, she asked for their order politely, but still trying to catch Samyule's eye.
"Oh, I don't know...I'll just have whatever is on special. You?" His question was directed at Ella

Ella rolled her eyes.
" Just a salad, please." She looked up at the waitress, something in her eyes flashing. The girl flushed from embarrasment, collected their menus, and bustled off. Ella smiled contendedly, took a sip of her tea, and then spoke again.
" Heads up for later in life: Im not a huge fan of evasive answers. I respect that people mean to keep secrets their own, but that doesn't mean I like them." She winked at him, before taking another sip.

He smiled widely. "aha, but where would I be if I tipped my hand too early in the game?" He could hear the return of the waitress, and decided to make a game out of their lunch.
"Let's give that waitress something to remember, eh?" he said leaning in closer to Ella. He inched closer and closer as if going to kiss her, but when the girl made it within a few feet of their table he stopped, saying "Oh! I didn't think it would be so quick. Ah well, We're going back to the school together, eh?"
He winked at Ella, egging her on. This waitress needed to cool off a bit and perhaps they would be able to teach her a lesson about flirting with strangers.

Ella flushed slightly, more from the nearness of his face to hers than anything else. She pretended to ponder something for a moment.
" Yes, there is the walk back to school, but that seems rather short, don't you think? Not nearly enough time. I'd suggest some quiet secluded place in the grounds." She put on a mischevious little smile, trying to keep herself from grinning at the look on the waistress' face. It was blank, as if she was trying to decipher their behaivior. Evidently, she gave up or understood, as she set down the dishes, and bustled off again. Ella let out a soft laugh, leaning away from him.
" Well that was certainly interesting." She said, remarking on both their behaivior and the momentary closeness of their faces.

"It's a game I like to play called: 'Let's teach pretty girls not to assume they can have everything they want.' Generally, it works pretty well. She'll think twice about hitting on a strange boy now - especially one from the academy." He sighed, digging in to the salmon which was unexpectedly moist and not strong smelling at all.
"I also like to play the game called: 'Let's show shy girls that they have a chance too' but I don't think this game applies to anyone here." He said, pointing his fork in the direction of the huddled waitresses, obviously all hearing the story first hand.
