Nostawen was still sat alone at the bar, paying little attention to those around her. She had completely forgotten about the company at the table. Staring into the dark liquid in the nearest glass, the reflection of a man appeared, and disappeared just as quickly. Nostawen turned her bowed head towards this new figure who had taken seat on the next stool. He smiled at her and relaising she had been staring at the elf, she smiled back.
The bartender had brought him a substantial amount of food and a drink. Nostawen guessed this travellers journey had been long. She remembered her own journey here, after losing her company. She turned back to the table where the star maiden was sitting. "Friends?" the elf next to her asked. "Yes" she replied, "these drinks were for them" she said staring down at the tray laughing. "I've had them up here for some time now, perhaps I should take them back." The elf nodded. "I am Nostawen by the way" she spoke softly as she lifted the tray. Her skirts slid off the seat. "Then greetings Nostawen" he smiled. "Would you care to join us sir?" Nostawen asked as she stood with the tray in hand.
