*Bask lets out a second laugh.*
Wonderful, wonderful.
*He sits down and looks over the menu, moving his lips silently as he reads, pausing ever so often. Either he cannot read, or he simply has not read in quite some time. Finally, he puts the menu down.*
By the odius prick of Orcus, your fare is lighter than the natives of the plane of Air! What do you have that I can sink my teeth into?
*He grins, showing those teeth. Each one gleams peraly white, quite possibly the only part of his anatomy that he keeps clean.*

*the waiter, a young man in his twenties with carefully groomed hair and clothes, doesn't so much as blink at the display of teeth. Staff here are well-trained to not show distress at any action of the clients. He merely asserts he'll go inquire with the cook what can be arranged, and walks off, quietly.
Taking a quick guesstimate what this new man might like, Lotharius orders one of the other waiters to give Bask a large glass of the strongest ale they have. It's not quite Drow-ale, but it's fairly strong, both in taste and alcohol-content.*

*Bask takes the glass and takes a deep draught.*
"That is some fine ale, by the webbed arse of Lloth! Do me a favor and grab me another saucer of that - Niashi will be along soon, and I'm sure she'll be thirsty, by the hidden balls of Venca."
*He lets out another one of his booming laughs and gives the waiter a hearty slap on the back.*

*the waiter reels a bit from the slap, and goes off. A saucer? And who might this Niashi-character be? He comes back a moment later with a saucer, size soup-bowl (on advise from the maƮtre d') with the same ale and sets it down on the table near Bask's chair.
From the kitchen come the smells of cooking.*

*Niashi arrives a moment later, plodding through the door. The size of a small force dog, Niashi is a dire wolf with massive feathered wings, like a celestials. Parts of the doorway are splintered away to accommodate her. She gives the various waiters a bored look as she plods over to the saucer, which Bask had put on the floor, and begins lapping it up.*
"Niashi! Faith and lies, you took your time. And damaged the poor man's door, too."
*He plops the bag of coin onto the table.*
"Don't worry, my good man, I'll happily pay for the damages."

*Lotharius looks stunned at the...the animal that just walked in, and damaged the door. He seriously begons to doubt he did the right thing in allowing Bask to stay, but the clink of money catches his ears, and he relents.
After half an hour, the first waiter comes back with the food. It's a lot, mainly roasted meat with a lot of vegetables done up in fancy forms and aesthetically arranged and such.*

Ahhh, the food! By all the celestials of the seven heavens, I could eat enough to feed ten thousand!
*He begins to wolf down the food, taking massive bites, often just using his fork to tear chucnks of meat off the roast instead of cutting it. He eats the vegetables as well. Niashi gives cocks her head to side and looks up at him, before finally circling and laying down. It's obvious she isn't hungry. A mildly bemused female voice suddenly sounds in Lotharius' head as she fixes Lotharius with a bored look.*
<Forgive his manners, please. He hasn't seen city or village in over six months, he has to adjust again.>

*he blinks. Atrocious tablemanners and voices in his head.*
<Whowhatwhere? Who're you?>

*Niashi begins to scratch her ear as Bask continues to eat.*

*Oh, that's a big help. He wonders if his predecessor had to deal with loonies like these.*

*he looks at the wolf, and blinks again. Now they can talk too? As if it wasn't enough they messed up his bar.*

*Niashi lets out a low growl, and gives the distinct impression of having rolled her eyes as she lays her head back into her paws. Ingrate.
Bask leans back in his chair and lets out a hearty belch.*
That was a good meal, by the retributive left toe of St. Cuthburt! What do I owe you for it?

*he does a quick mental add-up, factoring in the cost for a new door, and something extra for his troubles. He quotes the price to Bask: it's a couple of hundred gold.*

*Bask does some mental math of his own, though it's far simpler. He reaches into the pouch and puts down twenty five large platinum peices - about 250 gold, or 500 jink.*
That should be enough, I dare say! Come, Niashi! The city beckons us!
*With a hearty laugh, he stands up and begins to leave, Niashi standing slowly and streching before she begins to pad out after him. She manages to take out a bit more of the door as she walks ou.*
