Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sitting on a stool, back resting against the bar, was Eira who turned at the sound of the bell over the door chiming. She gave the new comer a glance, finding it to be a woman, and one that appeared from the staff she carried to be a magic user of some sort? Here's to hoping she didn't want to cause any trouble or else Eira would be forced to call for Makani since he was better at dealing with magical incidents then Gyuri was. Giving a smile she called out, "Welcome! Please, come inside out of the cold. Be sure to leave your weapon with me for the duration of your stay, and no randome acts of magic, please." She said in a friendly tone, laying down the rules for the inn as she or one of the others always did when a new person arrived.

"You're a little early for the usual entertainment, though the main attraction is on hiatus for a while." She said as she rested a hand against the curve of her stomach which was starting to show now. Couldn't very well go around dancing all night when she was carrying lest she end up with a child who was born dizzy. At least that was what her brother had been teasing her about since he'd learned he was going to be an Uncle. While breaks weren't really Eira's thing it had allowed her to sit back and see to the managerial side of things a lot more. Not to mention that she got to order everyone around a lot more she thought with a bit of a smile.

"Thank you." Eira said as the staff was handed over to her. It was always nice when people handed the weapons over without fuss and without her having to call in Gyuri. She'd knew that the big man could at times intimidate others and the last thing she wanted was for things to be tense. Pushing up to her feet Eira walked around the bar, placing the staff on a shelf located there, "Once you're ready to leave you need only to ask and the staff will be returned to you, easy as that!" She told the girl as she came around and once more took her seat at the bar. Once settled she said, "There is a stable for familiars, if they are much bigger then your forearm then they can sleep there. Smaller things, such as sprites and perzi, they can come inside if they are house trained." The only expection to the rule being Branko, a large, blue snaptrotter that was snoozing behind the bar at the moment and that was only because try as she might the beast wouldn't go away.

Giving a chuckle as the young woman before her congratulated her and called her pregnancy 'amazing' Eira could only nod in agreement, "Yes, quite amazing indeed." She said, quite pleased with the reaction. She did so love her child and heir already, even though she hadn't met him or her yet. After giving her stomach a little glance she said, "The little one isn't due for a while yet." Meaning she'd be off her feet for a while, but it would be worth it.

"Please, sit, relax. My name is Eira, and you are?" She asked as she motioned to one of the stools next to her. No reason for the girl to stand on occassion just because Eira was with child or anything.

"It's nice to meet you, Sy." Something that was both polite to say as well as something that she actually meant. When Eira was younger she saw all women, save for Sinny, as competion for... well, everything. She didn't like them, didn't want to make friends with them, and activiely avoiced them. Time had changed that though, allowing Eira to see other women as potential friends, which helped when one ran an inn. Not as though she could have run an inn that was 'men only' or anything like that. That would just have attracted the wrong crowd... that or ended up with it being a hook up spot for gay couples. A thought she quashed before her mind spent too much time on it.

Giving a little laugh, "You're lost? Here I was hoping word of mouth would be drawing people to the inn even as the weather gets colder." Not that the place was empty or anything, "I think you might be one of the first to find us by getting lost... though I am glad you were able to find your way here. As for where we are we are somewhere between Isd, Tale and Dernd, Sauti on the Sauti side of the border." She explained, wondering how she'd gotten so lost but didn't want to appear rude by asking.

Eira listened to the girl trip over her words and she couldn't but to find a little amusement in it. Realizing that it was a little mean to spend too long teasing her Eira said, "It's quite alright, better that you ended up here instead of ending up lost in the wild after all." So the girl wasn't one for being around a lot of people? That was something that caused her to give a little chuckle, "Well, this place can get a bit crowded at night, so if you aren't a fan of crowds and you plan to stay I'd suggest retiring to your room before they all show up." She didn't want the poor girl to get over run after all.

"Eh? Yera?" Eira couldn't help but to stare, her golden eyes going rather wide, as the girl said that she was spposed to be going to Yera, "Ahh... but... Yera, that is all the way on the otherside of Tale!" She squeaked out, unabe to contain her surprise. How? How had the girl gotten so lost? Surely this must be some sort of 'getting lost and ending up in the wrong place' record. They would speak of this in times to come when other people got lost... 'well, at least we didn't go as far out of our way as Sy did'.

Shaking her head Eira said, "Well, you're welcome to stay as long as you need to prepare for when you want to attempt a return journey." Eira found herself wondering if they should get her a guide to get her back safely.

"Hm? Let's see..." Reaching over to pick up a small journal that sat on the counter Eira flipped through it for a moment, reading over was was written there, before she said, "Ah! Seems as though room four is empty tonight. You can take that one." She pointed toward the stair case that was to one side of the inn, "You just head up those stairs and find the one marked with a number four and that will be your room. It's one of the smaller rooms with a single bed, so you won't be disturbed."

Giving a little nod she said, "Ahhh, I see." She didn't turn East and ended up all the way here? Interesting... it sort of made her wonder where the starting point was and how far she'd walked exactly. Something she wouldn't ask, not when the girl already had to deal with being so far out of the way. She really didn't need anyone poking too much fun about it.

"Supplies... well, you can buy some from us, enough that it would get you to Isd, and then you can get more there." She said, feeling that it might be best to see her off with enough supplies to tide her over just in case she got lost again.

"I do thank you for that. I want this place to become popular, a stopping place for anyone traveling from Isd and into Sauti. It's why I made sure that it was placed between two towns." The more lively it got the better. It also meant that she would be able to see the place grow! The bigger the better she thought to herself, eager to find herself the mistress of a minature town one day! It was likely a bit of a day dream, that, but one could never be certain what the future held.

As the girl asked her about her job she shook her head, "No, not an instrument. I leave that up to Borra, I'm a dancer myself. It's why I am currently taking a bit of a break, until after my child is born." Giving a grin she said, "Until then I am just enjoying beind the boss." Which meant bossing people around. It worked with Gyuri and Borra, but less so with Sinny... not that anyone save for maaaaybe Makani could boss her around, "As for you, I see you're a magic user? That's what my brother and friend Sinny dabble in. He would probably be interested in meeting you if you have the desire? Sinny though, that's hard to say."

Eira nodded, giving herself a once over, "I mean to wear my pretty clothes for as long as I am able. It's going to be tough to give them up when I start to really show, but that is something I will face when I get to that point." She said with a chuckle, finding the idea of being stuck in baggy clothing for a while as something that wasn't to her liking. She much preferred what she was wearing currently but some sacrifices had to be made in life and in fashion she supposed. Until the time came that she didn't fit in anything of hers she'd continue to enjoy dressing up though.

"Oh? Well, I am sure if you want any pointers that my brother could probably help you out... well, provided of course that you are around longer then a day. Magic seems fairly complicated from what I've seen of it." Nothing that she could wrap her head around, it just all seemed so foreign to her. The fact that Makani was able to use the stuff was a great boon though, not only was he able to use it to entertain people but he could also use it to provide plenty of purified water for the guests to drink and for those in the inn to cook with. Magic had many uses she'd seen, though it was one of those things she'd leave to the 'professionals' like Makani and Sinny.

Giving a smile Eira said, "I will introduce you when he's got a free moment. Believe me, you can't miss him. Blue skin like mine, golden hair, and two toned crystals on his shoulders."
