🧝‍♀️ The Tavern Girl (4) 🧝‍♀️ (Gender Neutral) (Strangers to Lovers) (English Accent) (Slow Burn)

Transcript

Um, I think this is all backwards, friends. I'm supposed to be serving you drinks. No, not nonsense.

Well, I'm fond of all of you as well, but that doesn't change the fact I have a duty to fulfill. Yes. Uh, pardon? Uh, sit down and.

.. Is that an order, or. ..

? Well, no, I suppose. I can't refuse.

Very well, then. Oh, I don't actually. ..

Well, it's not exactly a cardinal sin. Um, well, to tell you the truth, I've only tried it once. No, not exactly a fair trial.

You really want me to drink it? All right, all right, settle down, everyone. Well, just one cup, all right? Well, here we go.

Oh, by all gods, that is vile! Well, I'm glad you all find it so amusing. I think I just burnt my nostrils off.

Oh, yes. Yes, oh, right up them. Oh, dear.

Lovely. You satisfied? Again? Absolutely not.

There's service, and then there's just cheek. No! No more drinking.

Not for me. Ask something else of me. Just no more of that awful stuff, please.

Oh, dear. Oh, uh, I just have a strange feeling that my idea of a game and yours are quite. ..

I have no doubt. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! I'm terrible at games.

Always have been. I much prefer just watching. So, please, everyone, carry on here, and I'll just.

.. Guess I'll take a seat and do as I'm told. Right, fine, fine.

So, what game do you have in mind? Never have I ever. How do you play? Oh, this is just another excuse to get drunk, isn't it? So, what kind of things do we say? And then we either.

.. Oh, drink if we have, and don't drink if we haven't. And how exactly do we know who's won? There's no point system.

Then when will the game be over? Whenever the ale runs out. Oh, joy.

Does your seeker approve of these kinds of activities? They start them. Good for morale.

Well, we can't argue with that, can we? So, where are they this evening? Uh, no.

Not particularly. I, uh. ..

I just noticed they were absent, is all. Oh. Yes.

I suppose they don't get as much personal time as before. You knew them back then? Before Frowler and all of this? Different.

What do you mean? Oh, well, I suppose so. I'd have to have left some of that carefree spirit behind.

But it's not all gone, is it? Uh, I just mean, well, they don't exactly seem weathered up and done. They actually seem to rise to it.

I imagine that's all they've ever done in life. Come up to the task. Faced it all head on.

All that hero business. Uh. ..

Charming. Uh, um, well, uh. ..

I suppose. I mean, um. ..

If one is interested in that kind of person. Um, no, I don't think so. Um, actually, I think I will have another drink.

Just a small one, though. I said small! If you say so.

Oh, good. I think that's enough protesting, princess. Oh.

Speak of the devil. Hello again, seeker. Yes, indeed.

Here I am. Well, I've had two cups, and I'm not yet dead. So, not too bad, I'd say.

Um. .. You can have my seat if you wish.

I should probably check on everyone, and. .. Oh, I see.

Yes, of course, um. .. Pull up your own chair.

By all means. Oh, dear. We appear to be stuck.

Um, never have I ever. Though I must admit, the gentleman and I have been talking throughout most of it, so. ..

Um. .. Oh, my.

.. I just realised. Um, sir, I beg your pardon, but.

.. I don't believe I caught your name. Tristan.

I am sorry. We were talking so much, and I just. ..

I'm glad I haven't caused offence. And very happy to put a name to a face. Oh.

Did she? Well, please tell Elena I very much enjoyed speaking with her too. You are married to a most fascinating woman, Tristan.

Well, as long as you know. Oh, um, certainly. No, no, no excuse needed.

Um. .. I hope we can talk again soon.

Yes, and to you. Good night. Yes, I suppose it is just you and I.

And why exactly do I feel nervous about that? Um, drink? And what exactly is your definition of small? Because there has been many different answers this evening.

No, of course not. They are. ..

Well, to be honest, I think they're all quite brilliant. Strong, intelligent, caring. And I suppose it doesn't hurt that they have a leader they adore.

Ugh, all night. No one fights like the Seeker. Or, don't open that barrel till the Seeker comes.

What's it like? To have all these people believe in you. Of course.

Of course it's okay to say it's daunting. To be honest, I'd have been disappointed had you said something inspiring. Well, I'd hate to think of power as something that could make you less human.

Of course, I'm aware it can. But not with you. With you, I think it'll be okay.

Hm. Um, perhaps we should actually pay attention to the game. Hm.

Oh, um. .. Yes? Pardon? Oh, my turn.

Um. .. Uh.

.. Um, I'm just not sure what to say. Anything.

Um. .. Come on.

Think. Think. Think.

I'm thinking. Any suggestions? Uh, what? Okay.

Well then, whisper it. Uh. ..

Oh, uh. .. Really? Um.

.. Never have I ever stolen the Royal Guard's helmets and replaced them with ladies' undergarments. Uh.

.. You've all done that? Seeker? You as well? I didn't realise I was drinking with vagabonds.

I see. Morale is very important to you. Yes.

Your turn, Seeker. See? No, you can't think of any.

Why not? Seeker? Come here.

Are you ready? Okay. Never have I ever had my heart stolen at first glance.

Heh. Mm-hm. Hm.

Well, bottoms up. Ah. Hehehe.

What? Ah, well. He was strong and brave.

And he had the most fantastically long. .. Hehehe.

He may have also been a thoroughbred Shire, called Rufus. Hehehe. Mm-hm.

My one true love. Yes. Cheers.

To Rufus. Heh. Mm.
