A fortuitous arrival, clearly appreciated.

Tiya doesn’t usually scamper off to drink with others; if she’s drinking with company, it’s either at an event or in the comfort of her own domicile. When she goes out for a quick bout of people-watching, it’s spur-of-the-moment and without much mingling in mind. That isn’t to say she doesn’t appreciate a random approach - any chance to socialize is one she’ll take! Usually, the people who approach are newcomers with pickup lines and an ulterior motive, but sometimes they’re people she hasn’t seen in a while.

Like today, when she’d been thinking rather hard about some interpersonal business and wanted a drink from a place where people mind their business after a day of walking about the city of Stormwind. With a mug or two of booze, Tiya leaned against the bar counter, her own thoughts on her personal matters limbered by drink. But just when she reached a mental impasse, her good friend Cordell Godwinne meandered in. Seeing how the Stormwind native was used to enabling connections - [addressed in another tale] (QSFW, kinks ahead), he had just the right perspective to help Tiya through her own doubts on the matter. Of course, she had to catch his attention first, but a flashy mage hand, a wave, and her winning smile did the trick just fine.

It’s been a while since these two shared a drink, actually. If she had more time, I’m sure Tiya would like to tell Cordell about the gentleman who told her she was, “built like the perfect sandwich: Too big for two hands.” (Real thing a player told her in-game!) Perhaps next time, she can talk about how things go between her and whomever she'll taking his advice regarding! And if you’re curious to know more about that, perhaps [the story about it] would interest you?

If it wouldn’t interest you… then, you’re no fun.
