The teifling waitress sidles up to the table next to Bazz and slides two large platters and a tankard ale onto it. One woooden platter is dominated by two blackened scavver steaks, a picture of black on black on black. A thick brown mushroom gravy is drizzled over them, and the smell is rich and warm and saliva-spawning. A serving of mixed vegetables (peppers, asparagus, tomatoes, and rainbow chard), a large slice of garlic rye bread and two orange slices fill the rest of the space. The other wooden platter featured a roasted pish, stuffed with comet crab, covered in a lemony cream sauce and served with roasted Ironpiece potatoes and a large slice of garlic rye bread. She slides the scavver over to Rupert and the pish to Melville, along with the tankard.
"Here you go, fellas," Sinistra the waitress says with a smile in her mousy server voice, "Do you need flatware, or anything else? Bazz, you need anything?"
Rupert reaches into his pouch for a few moments and produces a set of flat ware and another 3sp, and says, "CAN I GET ANOTHER ALE PLEASE! DEAR!", as he finishes his first ale. He then turns towards Bazz and states, " I JUST GOT BACK TO PORT. I AM THE LAST KNOWN SURVIVOR AND COMMANDO OF THE SHIP OF THE LINE THE RED REVENG, AND AS MY FUNDS ARE RUNNING SHORT I FIND MYSELF LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT. MY FRIEND MELVILLE AND MYSELF WERE JUST SITTING DOWN TO DISCUSS OUR PROSPECTS OF SIGNING UP FOR SERVICE ABOARD CAPTAIN REVELLO THREADVINE"S SQUIDSHIP AT DOCK 34!".

"Yes, a knife and spoon please. And thank you, this looks delicious." [Forks aren't really a thing until the the 1500s]
The dohwar levels a gaze at Rupert, they would have to get this dealt with as the loud giff was a danger. Not everyone on Bral needed to know their business. The last thing he wanted was to be press ganged. He was already beginning to regret making the giffs acquaintance. Oh well, he would see how this played out.
"I am recently arrived in Bral myself, having finished a tour with the Sindiath Line as a helmsman. It is time for something that will let me stretch my wings a bit more than the regular runs through the Grainfields."

{OOC:
Forks have been a thing in china since at least 210 BCE, and were used by the Romans around 200 CE. It is a simple technology in multi-planet trade hub. I think multiple kinds of eating utensils for all kinds of races and different body forms would be the norm in most taverns on Bral, except in those areas that have a high racial bias for one type or another.}
Rupert picks the orange slices and squezes the juice out of them over his steaks and veggies, before tossing the fruit and rind into his mouth and jewying it quickly, while he rapidly cuts his steaks into very large chunks, and picks up his large spoon and scooping a mix of steak chunks, mushrooms, gravy and vegitables, in rapid spoonfuls. Eating like someone who who has not eaten a decent meal in a long time, Melville andCazz note though that his eyes never leave thier faces as he seems to be concentrating on thier conversation. When the steaks and veggies are finished, he picks up the thick slice of garlic rye bread to mop up the remains of gravy off the platter. He then finishes by licking his fingers and utensil clean, and picking up his ale and quaffing it down in one large gulp, and wiping his mouth with the back of his tankard holding hand. He then leans back with his hands on his belly and watches and tries to listen to his 2 new friends.

A feathered quill magically appears in his flipper and he uses it to gesture in the direction of the waitress, before it vanishes agin in a few drifting motes.
Getting back to Melville's statement, Bazzalan replies,
"Oh and Sinistra and I are not both Tieflings. Well, she is, I'm not. I happen to be a Satyr. We're usually much more interested in partying than Tieflings are and we have no ancestry related to the lower planes. Satyr ancestry is linked to the Fey Wild which there are some parts can be equally as sinister but mostly just a hoot!"

When Sinistra arrives with their food, Bazzalan says,
"Sinistra, sweetie, please be a dear and make a tab for me. In exchange for any exciting stories they have of their adventures, I'll cover whatever they're eating and drinking tonight." Bazz hands the tiefling 5 gold pieces to start. (Or 10gp's if they've already passed the 5gp mark.)
"Please don't be suspicious of my motives," Bazzalan says when she leaves.
"I'm a bard so I love new tales and if you're ever fortunate to meet another Satyr, you'll find that we all love to have a good time! So this is really just an average night for me."
"So how long have you two been friends?"
Sinistra bobs in a little curtsy and says, "They are even up currently. A round for the table then?"

"Is it possible you transfer their tabs to me and return their money?" Then he says cheerfully,
"Yes, bring us all another round!"
"AACTUALLY WE JUST MET!, THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS OFFER, THAT IS MOST KIND OF YOU!", Says Rupert.
Rupert rubs his chin and replies, "MY STORY BEGAN ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO IN THIS VERY PORT, I SET OUT ON THE GIFF SHIP OF THE LINE THE RED VENGENCE TO GUARD THE MERCHANT CRAFT OF THE BLACK PEGAUSUS TRADING COMPANY, IT WAS MY FIRST VOYAGE AS A CADET, ON THE RED VENGENCE, WHICH WAS THE PRIDE OF MY CLAN WITH HER ARMAMENT OF 41 GIFF BOMBARDS. WE FOUGHT OFF A FEW MINOR PIRATE RAIDS 8URING THE FIRST 3 WEEKS OF OUR VOYAGE, AND I EARNED THE RANK OF MASTER CORPERAL. THEN ON OUR THIRD WEEK WE CAME INTO CONTACT WITH A NEOGI RAIDING PARTY OF VESSELS, LED BY A SHIP THAT LOOKED LIKE A GIANT DEATH SPIDER, BUT TWICE THE SIZE OF A NORMAL DEATH SPIDER. DURING THE BATTLE WE MANUEVERED THE RED VENGENCE ALONG SIDE THE HUGE NEOGI VESSLE FOR A BROAD SIDE. BUT SHE MUST HAVE GOT OFF A LUCKY SHOT ON OUR AMMO STORES, AS I HEARD A HUGE EXPLOSION, AND MY CAPTAIN GAVE THE ORDER TO HEAD FOR THE LIFE BOATS. I STARTED TO RUN FOR THE NEAREST LIFE BOAT, JUST BEFORE I HEARD AN IGANTIC EXPLOSION FROM MY SHIP, AND THE NEXT THING A KNEW I WAS COMMING TO ALONE IN A LIFE BOAT IN THE MIDST OF THE VOID. THEN A WEEK AGO A POTROL OUT OF BRAL FOUND ME AND BROUGHT ME BACK TO THIS PORT, WHER I ARRIVED HERE A FEW SHORT HOURS AGO LOOKING TO START A NEW CHAPTER IN MY LIFE!"
