"I have a counter agreement. " Twilight said, as Nova shuffled the cards. As the two elvin boys sat at their usual table in the back, the special tablecloth draped over it.
Luca weaved between the empty tables, the short gnomish boy only a head and shoulders taller than table tops. The tavern wouldn't open for another 30 mins, so he did one last check, to make sure everything was just right.
Nova, the silver haired elven boy, chuckled, "And what agreement is that?" He said, splitting the cards with one hand in a small flourish, before riffling them back together, not even looking at his brother, Twilight, who say across from him.
There was a knock on the tavern's front door and Luca, being the closest, moved to answer it.
"Well, taking clients." Twilight said to his brother. The younger Elvish boy was a little nervous speaking his mind, in hopes not to get steamrolled by his brother like usual.
"Sorry, we don't open for another few minutes." Luca said, as he opened the door.
Nova raised an eyebrow at Twilight. "Go on." He said, curious to what he would suggest.
Recognizing the woman on the other side of the door, Luca realized he'd mistaken her for a guest.
Nova's quick acceptance to hear him out, caught Twilight off guard. He expected his brother to be defensive or even offensive. But he never expected him to willingly hear him out. "Well, I um..." The soft elf stammered.
The woman was a guild representative. Luca could tell by her uniform. "Oh, no. I just came to drop these off." She said, handing the half gnomish boy a small stack of papers.
Nova dealt the cards. "I appreciate you being patient with me." Twilight started. "We haven't taken clients upstairs yet. So thank you for that." Twilight knew he had to add sugar before the salt if he wanted to get his brother to hear him out. Butter Nova up.
"Thank you." Luca said, and the woman nodded before he closed back the door.
"And I've been putting a lot of thought into this," Twilight prefaced, "What if we exclusively service high paying clients upstairs." Twilight asserted.
Luca flipped through the papers. Being a tavern, a frequent stop for adventurers, the guild often sent papers to go up on the tavern's cork board. Sometimes it was a mix of bounties, quests and jobs. Sometimes it was big news, official missives, maybe even guild sponsored advertising. Luca walked the papers over to the board.
Nova didn't respond, just examined the cards in his hand, which made Twilight even more nervous. "I'm still not ready to... fully take clients, so maybe we could do like a special on hand jobs and blow jobs, but for guests who really want to shell out gold, then we take them upstairs. Like VIP treatment. I even think some lower paying guests might be willing to pay more for full service. Could make us more money?" Twilight rambled, laying all his cards out on the table.
Luka had grabbed a chair, sliding it up to the board. Hopping up on to it, he began taking down some of the old pages, making space and replacing them with the new ones.
Nova sat in quiet contemplation, his eyes on his cards. Twilight stewed in his seat. "Nova?" The timid elvin boy said.
Moving to pin it up, Luca's eyes scanned one of the pages, reading the text, he realized what it was for. "Oh shoot!"
Nova finally looked up at his brother. "Got any 3's?" "Nova!" Twilight shouted, hating not being taken seriously. The mean spirited elvin boy laughed in response at the flushed look on his brother's face. "Sorry. Yeah whatever. Let's do it." Nova said, "Now you got any threes or not?"
Luca glanced around, before folding the paper and slipping it into his vest. He already started to feel guilty, but knew it was for the best. No one could find out about this. Not yet. He finished putting up the rest of the pages in a rush, and hopped from the chair. Heading back toward the kitchen. But as he passed a table, someone grabbed his arm.
"Luca, what's the rush? Wanna play some cards?" Nova asked, having reached out and grabbed Luca's wrist.
"No, I'm good. Just gotta finish setting up. We open soon." Luca had said, but Nova was more focused on the piece of paper sticking out of the gnomish boy's shirt.
Luca pulled his hand out of Nova's grip, and realized he'd been caught. "It's nothing!" He said, which had just incriminated himself more.
"Let me see! Whatcha got!" Nova said, clambering after Luca, abandoning his card game with Twilight.
"Nova, leave him alone!" The other elvin boy called after the two.
Right before Luca had got to the kitchen, Nova had caught up to him, gripping part of the paper, wrestling the smaller boy for it. "Don't tell me it's some bounty photo you were gonna use for jerk off material." Nova teased.
"Let go!" Luca shouted, trying to fight off the taller boy
