"That sounds like a fun time," Barley said with a grin, perhaps she could see the provisions they were planning on taking with them from there and that would be her time to strike, "Shall we, Ser?" She asked, making her voice low and husky.

"We shall," he said, gallantly offering his arm, though in reality he would be relying heavily on her for support and Barley would likely have to guide them towards the keep.
(You can post arriving with your new companion at the keep.)

Barley didn't need to keep him up for too long she hoped, as she was not hugely strong herself.
as they readied to leave she slipped the sedative into one of the bottles of wine and carried the other one in the arm free by her side.
As they walked she subtly pretended to drink from her bottle and even gave some to him while letting some fall to the floor at her side to make it seem like she was drinking.

Barley returned, as successful as she could hope to have been really but feeling horrid at the same time. She approached the bar and ordered a drink and sat there. “How are things going?” She asked the barmaid from before.

"I can't complain," the barmaid replied, as she poured Barley a mug of ale, taking a glance at her bedraggled appearance. "Can you say the same?"

She ran a hand through her hair, “I will be.” She said with a sure nod, not realising the knifes edge the main group was walking on, “I can’t really complain either. How did you end up working here?” She asked, wanting general conversation.

The barmaid offered a sage nod in reply, having spent enough time conversing with patrons to know when to press and know when to leave well enough alone.
"I was born and raised down the street, to the local cooper. I heard tell the boss here pays well and keeps the patrons from getting too handsy with the girls and the rest is history."

“Does he?” Barley asked, taking a sip of her drink. She knew nothin* of simon, the man who they’d put their faith in, but he stranded to lose the most if they failed, and his had no reason to hang them out to dry, so she trusted him to a point.

"Well enough," she said, leaning in so only Barley could hear her. "Sailor out of Duskendale roughed up one of the girls a few moons back. Not sure what was done with him, but his ship was shorthanded when it left port."

“We that’s something” she said nodding, a bit of respect fir Simon coming in, but she also renebered how the woman seemed to be afraid of him from her reaction before. Of course if could just be a response to a lack of respect for him and less about the girls, but the result was the same. “Are there any rooms to rent fir the night?”

"There are indeed. Five coppers for the night," the barmaid informed Barley. "Four for each night after if you plan on staying longer?"

“I’ll see how I go” Barley said with a smile and paid the five, “do you have people up at dawn?” She asked her.

"The boss is up before the sun is, but usually out and about," the barmaid replied, carefully counting out the five coins not once, not twice, but three times seemingly out of nervous habit. "Someone will be up at the bar and manning the kitchens if you want to break your fast though."

“I just want to be up, busy day ahead” she said and nodded, “is waking me up something someone can do?”

"I don't see why not," the barmaid answered. "Can have someone knock on your door at the Hour of the Nightingale or First Light, whichever suits you best."
