ADMIN: Hi, use her to fill your orders, interactions are mine.  Will be
gone for a week.

Khisanth's dish from Kara-tur has some unusual ingredients, and Serene
must occasionally ask, "What might be the local equivalent of that
herb?"  Eventually, however, the recipe is complete, and Serene retreats
to the kitchen to try and work it out with Mary Littlefair.

Once that challenge was met and begun in the kitchen, Serene returned to
collecting mugs from the tables.  Luthor approaches her and makes a
charming invitation to tour the city in the midmorning.  Her grey eyes
twinkle up at his blue ones, knowing that the city will still have looters
and muggers aplenty.  His grace is perhaps the deciding factor, and she
smiles.  "I would greatly enjoy such diversion.  I think we can pass a
pleasant hour or two, Maker of Shadows."  With her hand balanced lightly
in his and her feet crossed in a small curtsy, she looks almost poised
to fly - or to dance.  "I look forward to hearing your tales of the
Dawn."  She bids him sweet dreams, and returns to her work, obviously
pleased at the expected adventure...

Now that the danger is mostly over, Serene returns to serving alcoholic
drinks.  She herself keeps a huge mug on the bar and drinks from it in
huge quaffs, compared to her small frome.  Littlefair keeps it full for
her, smiling.  She just goes a little crazy for mineral water these
days...

Cheers, all,

Serene
