I walk with purpose to where Tuatha and Culann are engaged in a bit of a standoff.

" Gentlemen, before I am forced to be unpleasant, get this clear. You both work for me- and I will not tolerate you or anyone scaring these pretty ladies over a silly misunderstanding (glances at Mari and Anaket) . As powerful Celts, you both came highly recommended for your skills at protection, but will it take an EGYPTIAN to teach you manners? Enough! You are countrymen. Behave as such. Tuatha- put away your blade. Use it - if needed - to protect our guests. And you can keep your horny headpiece. Culann, combrogi, as I said before, you may display your swinging falcata. Rest assured - You two don't wanna piss me off- lest you both be crocodile chum at my hands. (hearty laugh). Now, save your 'cock-iness' for more pleasant pursuits. (takes a longer look at the women) So, I suggest that you both drink your meade together, then attend to your stations. Culann- by the entrance. Tuatha, roam the Inn and lounge. And see if you can find some men to patch the roof. Remember, I chose you both for your skills and spirit. It is a pleasant surprise to see you use them, but I rather they be used more beneficially. "

(claps hands)

" Now Anaket- there is a Celtic woman at the bar who requires refreshment. And more of our imported mead for Culann and Tuatha." (eyeing the revealing slit that runs up the thigh of both sides of her tunic)

" Mari- linger as you so choose. A titillated hostess is a happy hostess. Besides, it's not busy at the moment. But when Culann returns to his station, do see what is going on with the Romans there. That one seems to have a bump on his head (pointing at Tobias) . And those two (pointing at Josephia and Azuria) also seem to have bumps that need attending to. Well-

Perhaps I shall take care of that job."
