*Leytan gazes down the row of employers with his cold apprasing eye's. Stopping on eacha as they are introduced and sizieng them up.*
< Dal>
"This is, Kal the serveing Boy.
*The Boy is about 10 with sandy blond hair and a mishcevious grin, he returns Leytan's gaze.*
"Pleased to meet you sir."

"But we call's her Raggie. *Dal explanis*
"I'm Amanda Bellingham. A plesure to meet you Mr. Redmun." *Blonde with green eyes about 25.*
"Edward Deal's old Girlfreind, arn't you Amanda."

*Charles grins at each one in turn and shakes their hands.*
Charles: Wonderful to meet you all at last, i've been looking forward to aquiring this establishment as I believe it will be a very good business venture. This week we shall be revamping the inside making it a far more upmarket inn from what it is, one to make even the highest nobles approve of our selections yet still appeal to the common folk of your village. *Looking at their clothes* In order to do that I will of course arrange new uniforms for you and put you in touch with suppliers of the finest and rarest wines and ales. The rooms shall be refurbished to suit an emporer. This inn shall be the first in my enterprising in Wolfenden. I hope to make your whole Village into a trading post for the well travelled lady and gent.
*As he finishes several people listening applaud his speech, he is clearly a charimatic and cheerful individual. Although Charles does not care to take part in the battle of Good Vs. Evil, lending services to both sides, this is what drew him to Leytan. Although he has wonderful hospitality and is a man of his word. The staff are clearly most pleased with their new boss*
Charles: Well then, as of this moment the inn is now closed for rennovations. Please finish your drinks, they're on the house and tell all your friends & family about the new Wolf's Howl coming soon.
*With a sweeping beam of a smile Charles heads behind the bar for a private talk with the staff*
(OOC: I'm off for the night, shall continue the thread in the morning)

*Drassandre watches from a corner of the room, considering her options. She could wait for Zeytan, the man who kindly helped her, to return; she could venture back to the Crazed Heifer (she knows where Owen hides the tips jar); she could seek a new job, at the Wolf's Howl Inn, and put the chaos of the Heifer behind her; or - and this one makes her pulse race the fastest - she could go in search of Robin...*

*Charles notices her, as she is one of the last hanging around finishing drinks. He sees she doesn't actually have a drink so goes to see why she's there*
Charles: Hello there young lady, you look like you're lost. You don't look like one of the men I hired to help with the renovating so you must be here to apply for the spare waitress job, yes?
*Charles surveys her with friendly eyes, he hopes she is here for a job as she looks the kind that would make a good job.*

*Amanda walks over to the table.*
"Excusse me miss. But are you sure you don't want a drink?"
*Drassandre looks at Amanda with contempt, then turns away from her.*
*Amanda Askes again.*
"No, I don't want a drink. espechialy if YOU serve it. You'd probabley poission it with Darkness Powder like your Boyfreind used to do."
*Amanda stands shocked for a few seconds then stiffals some tears and walks away quickly.*

*Charles frowns slightly at Drassandre's attitude to one of his waitresses and is unsure how to take it. He had never heard of this 'Edward Deal' but whoever he had been then he obviously was not well like in these parts. He told one of his bodyguards to go and console the poor girl*
Charles: Please dear girl, i'd prefer if you didn't offend my staff in such a way. Whoever her old boyfriend was don't judge her by him. Are you here for the job or not?

*The bodyguard finds Amanda in the ally out back head buried in her hands sobbing.*
"He hurt me as well. Why do they blame me for his actions? I was just as much a victim of him."

*Menwhile Leytan is looking around the Inn getting a feel for his new suroundings.*
"Hmmm, Good strong building, very deffenicalbe, should it be required."
"Yes I think I'll be happy here untill my Contract with Mr. Redmun expirers."
*Leytan returned to the Bar just in time to see Amanda run past and out into the ally followed shortly by the bodyguard. He wanders over to Charles and Drassandre table.*
"Excusse me sir I hope you don't mind me asking but what seems to be the trouble with the young lady?"

Drassandre: 'I apologise, gentleman. There have some rather disturbing goings-on at the Crazed Heifer, and... I'm afraid my spinning head loosened my tongue. A man with a... with a... crab, brought me here after I passed out. I was hoping to find work at this inn, but if my behaviour has wrecked my chances, I understand.'
*Drassandre's eyes glisten as she 'turns on the waterworks', making her look ever so slightly less vacuous.*

*Charles surveys here once more he makes a decision*
Charles: I am in need of those to work, providing you and the other serving girl can keep your tempers to each other you are free to work here. I'm sure you will have heard my speech about my intentions for here and if you can stick to my simple rules I will be best pleased. You are hired!
*Those finishing drinks have now all left and just the staff, Leytan and Drassandre remain*
Charles: Well then, it appears the renovators are here!
*Goes out to greet them and returns with a team of men who begin taking out all the fittings and such preparing to re do the inn*

*Drassandre nods; there is little she can say to explain the situation in the tavern, and exactly what it was that she 'escaped from', other than substandard wages and irascible bumpkins.*

*Leytan smiles sinisterly at her.*
"I told my employer at the time to send me. That Visage was good but you can't beat expperience and professionalsiam."
"I wouldn't have let ANYONE escape."

*Slowly but surely the Wolf's Howl is gutted and prepared for being remade. Many strange people pass through the village with different materials, exotic items for decoration, new furnitrue and linen, security devices, paint supplies, the cellar is completely restocked and the process is put well underway. It gets very hectic and Charles hands Leytan a bag of gold to pay the next supplier who will be shortly arriving before leaving for a brief walk to get to know the village a little better* [ModNote: Continued in Running from confusion.]
