Inn Keeper's Company

He'd seen them all: lovers, liars, dreamers, and pretenders. He'd seen the lucky and those whom luck had forsaken; winners and losers... and cheaters.

Some were here to "go somewhere"; some were here because they had nowhere to go. Some came to nourish the soul; some came to forget they had one.

Most were as ordinary as the summer day is long; a few seemed to have stepped in from another world.

This  was the place where deals were struck, promises were made, and  broken; where one might find a soul mate or a bed mate, or may take in the flow and tangle of voices, melodies, and bodies from a lonely corner.

None of them stayed for long, though.  Dreams faded, plans faltered; the appeal lost its luster in the light of day, with strong coffee in the mug rather than ale. Perhaps some of the ambitious ones, or the lucky ones, moved on to pursue those plans and dreams.  He didn't know... none ever stayed for long -- except for one, and she curled into the crook of his arm every night after cleaning up the messes.

Raven Rendezvous by Shane Lamb

Mock-up cover of one of their albums probably. I’d imagine it would’ve been called Cover Blown. I just really wanted all of them to look like they’re not going to the same place/have a different idea of they want the album cover to look like Tharaêl honey I’m sorry about your outfit 🤣

Again, shoutout to @dragons-barb for the band name, I love it and also @essythewolf for the playlist idea 💙💙💙💙💙

The list is long and I apologize in advance for my music taste.

Being American, I am most familiar with temperatures in °F, but I can relate certain °C values with no need for mathematical gyrations:

15°C: Nice! I might consider a light jacket

20°C: Perfect for any outdoor activity, no jacket, no shoes, no problem

30°C: I am wallowing in a pool of my own sweat and am poised to lay waste to anyone who vexes me
