Ty flashed a little apologetic smile to Stella. "If there really is a brothel..." He tilted his head and gave a little shrug. "It might be cool to check out. You know, like a tourist attraction or whatever." Not a great excuse, but hey, that's what he had. "Can you talk to the lord, get us some work? We can regroup as soon as I just take a look around."
Stella scowled a little bit in annoyance, but she shrugged and turned to stalk off towards the lord's manor. Some guilt twinged in Ty's chest, but he pushed it aside as he turned to his other two friends. "Are we going, or what?"
They made their way to the brothel without further ado. Erica and Aaron took a little detour and started making out about halfway through, actually, so they waved Ty onward. The two of them ducked into an alley promptly, leaving him alone. He managed to figure out the rest of the way across the small village, though, and ducked into the brothel.
The exterior was pretty simple- wooden beams and shafts, closed windows, a few signs hung around, likely meant to deter children. The inside, however, was a completely different world. Scarlet drapes covered every wall. Plush cushions adorned the floor. A thick fragrance of floral perform quickly filled Ty's nostrils.
A man of about thirty sat behind a desk, stroking his thick black beard idly with one hand while scratching away in a ledger. When he saw Ty enter the building, he quickly dropped his quill and closed his book, before gesturing the young mage forward. "Come, boy. Here to have the experience of a lifetime?"
A strong opening statement, no doubt. Ty paused for a moment before he reluctantly stepped up to the front desk. "Uh, I suppose. I don't have any gold, though. Just here to take a look around town. I'll be on my way, if I'm unwelcome."
"Nonsense, nonsense." The man broke out into a little grin, and he waved a hand away. "The first one, for you? It's on the house, my boy. Now tell me, where might your tastes lie? Traditional? Human, elf, dwarf, maybe? Or more...extravagant? We've got lizardfolk and catfolk working here, too." The ledgerkeeper paused for a moment before he raised one brow. "And, of course, you'll have to tell me whether you prefer a...masculine or feminine touch, mm?"
