Chapter 618: Auction House - Interviews (2)
We were guided towards an open area filled with couches and tables, the small counters on either side laden with bowls of fruits and vegetables as well as some other small snacks, and the entire room was illuminated by twin fireplaces that were nestled between said counters on either side.
Heather gestured for us all to sit down, only to raise a brow as Arani gave Renna and I a bow before she asked "Would you care for anything to drink? Anything to eat?", causing the Aviankin to tilt her head as she watched the Dawn Elf walk over to one of the counters, nodding to herself as she once again took in Arani's juicy butt that was hugged tightly by her black pants.
"Is tea possible, Arani? I wouldn't mind a nice cup of tea, if that isn't too much to ask..?"
"It shall be ready in a moment, Duchess."
"Well, if that's all you need, I'll start wrangling up the rest of the list and send them on over to be interviewed, Duchess Poinset. Take your time, and if you end up finding any of them to be to your 'liking'... there's a room right there meant for getting to know one another better."
Winking at the Duchess, Heather chuckled to herself and went back to the halls of the apartments, leaving us alone with the Dawn Elf butler who was currently crouching in front of one of the fireplaces, getting a teapot hung up above the flames.
"Would you prefer if I was before you or might we speak about my employment right away? The tea should only be but a moment..."
"Now is fine, Arani. You see, I've opened up a winery, one that will be serving a myriad of customers; from someone with only a few coins to their name who need something to take the edge off to someone with a nice stable income wanting something to help make their celebration all the better. I even have a line meant for the those with deep pockets..."
That made the Dawn Elf purse her lips for a moment before she hesitantly replied "I... can work with some troublesome people, yes, but Duchess, I would like to ask if - as the manager of your winery - I have any say in who remains an employee and who doesn't..?"
"We can come together to review their actions and see if there is a chance to right their wrongs, but otherwise... yes, as the manager I would value your opinion on any and all employees or other matters of business. Does that answer your question?"
Lifting the cup of tea to her lips, the Dawn Elf took a moment before nodding her head, replying "Yes, it does; thank you very much Duchess." and then taking a sip, only to raise a brow as someone else entered the room, someone Renna and I recognized thanks to our decisions earlier.

How do we feel about Renna getting just a little~ revenge on Astra from earlier, hm~?
Nothing serious, just a nice~ little 'prank' to let Astra experience a little bit of what Renna does; obviously since I'm asking I want to try it, but I am also the dude writing smut for fun so of course my idea of what is 'good' for the story and what is good for the 'story' is different than what you - the readers - think would be good.
Just another poll since we haven't done anything like this in awhile~!
Oh, and I'll give it a few hours before writing the next one to let everyone vote, so yeah... there should be a second Chapter today, just saying~!
