12. Foundry Tavern:

[Kaska of Red Talons]

Kaska walks through the door of the Foundry Tavern on her way back from work. She had been up since before sunrise hauling the morning's water and wood for a few of the homes and businesses that didn't want to do it themselves, and had the money to pay someone else for the work. Later in the afternoon she would be going to the warehouses to do whatever odd jobs might be needed.

First though she wanted a little something to eat, and to find out if there was any news about Khonnir Baine. This would be the time of day she would stop by to see him if she were going to. Between the torch dying and Khonnir going missing, she was anxious. No torch meant no work for her uncle, and a missing Baine meant less hope an answer to why it was out would be found.

Kaska takes a seat at the bar and asks for a glass of watered wine, along with some bread and cheese. Have to watch the spending carefully she thinks to herself. She brushes her black hair back behind her ears and looks over at Kayla and Chrome, who are busy talking to a stranger. She will have to say hello once they are done.

"Any news about Khonnir? Is Val around?" she asks the server when she delivers her food and drink.
