It was a special occasion for those people in the tavern. It was the end of the typical work week and the regular haunts, the drunks who merely went there to drink away their pain, were instead replaced by a myriad of younger, more energetic people. There was live music as there was every week on that night, and everyone was there to have a good time. It was the closest thing to a night club Hyrule had to offer, and it was the place to be each weekend in Castle Town.

For Risa it was one of her favorite places. It was one of the few bars she could go to actually get away. Most of the places the nymph walked into were merely marks, and the inhabitants of those bars found themselves one coin purse lighter by the end of that night. Except the lucky one Risa took with her when she'd cleaned the place out. Sure, she was there to rob them but that didn't mean a girl couldn't have a little fun, right? That was the whole point of this particular establishment, after all. The place practically sung of carnal pleasures of all sorts.

Which is why Risa now found herself sitting on a balcony above the stage, occupied by the more classy individuals. It wasn't the kind of place she could afford every day, but each week she allowed herself to splurge, to live the life she once had in her favorite tavern. She sat at her table, still sweating just a little from dancing herself earlier, as a waitress brought a very expensive bottle of wine to the table at her request. The wine was an extra luxury she didn't have the money for period, but Risa could hardly walk into a place without being treated to something.

It just so happened that her dancing that night had caught the eye of a particular wealthy suiter. Risa spotted him out and made sure her gaze showered thanks down upon him for the wine. He wasn't half bad looking, either, and Risa considered paying him back with significantly more than just a thanks. That would wait, though, as she had a bottle of wine almost as old as she was to enjoy. With a pleasant grin across her plush lips she uncorked the bottle, poured a mouthful into a glass and smelled the sweet aroma.

It was rare when Myrna decided to allow herself to indulge in more baser pleasures, and when it also lead to taverns such as these. Sure, she enjoyed an alcoholic beverage as much as the next person, but this was perhaps a little over the top for what she was used to. The young woman had even foregone her armor in favor of something that would allow her to blend in a little better. Well, she would at least not stand out for wearing her usual provocative style of armor. The dress was decent enough in the front, but the back of the dress had a deep plunge that showed all of the pale skin of her back. Clinging to her curvaceous form quite nicely, and with a slit on the right side that ran the entire expanse of her leg and ended up near her thigh. Myrna had opted for the color black over her usual preference of red, because this dress looked far more elegant than an eye-popping red. She sipped idly at the wine she had bought for herself, crimson eyes scouring the room for a target to amuse herself with. Leaning idly against the bar, she found herself appraising what appeared to be a wealthy male that had his interests set upon a green-haired beauty.

Her brow quirked, and Myrna spent a few moment observing the situation with faint interest. Well, it appeared she was not the only one looking for men to amuse herself with, and it looked like the male had begun to take the bait that was the woman herself. It appeared she was enjoying her bottle of wine more than the man himself, which left him open to anyone else. Myrna would admit to having a slight competitive side, and the opportunity was far too amusing for her to pass up. Setting her empty wine glass down, she made her way over to the lone male. A subtle sway of her hips, and a charming smile already had him glancing her way. Honestly, it was somewhat disappointing to see how most men were trapped by their own lust. Stopping in front of him, she allowed one hand to rest upon his arm, trailing slim fingers down in a appreciative manner. "'Tis a disappointing sight to see you alone. Perhaps you would enjoy a dance with me?" she asked lightly.

Carmine eyes feigned interest as the male gave her an appreciative glance along the length of her body. It was a nice stroke to her feminine ego, but certainly not enough to capture her interest. Honestly, Myrna was more into the thought of playing with him than pursuing anything pleasurable for the night. His appearance was above average, but did he have a personality to match? By the way his gaze was focused on her chest, she was certain that he was brawn and of no mind. That answered that question for her, and so Myrna continued to wear the empty smile he would not see through, and rested her hand more firmly upon his arm. Leaning a little closer, she forced his gaze to return to her own, and smiled prettily as he nodded quickly in agreement to her request. Oh, how very, very easy this game could be.

Risa swished the wine about in her glass then drank a mouthful of the sweet, aged liquid. She remembered the year on the bottle. It had been quite bountiful; the world had radiated green with all of the crops growing. The grapes were practically the size of apples by the time they were ready for picking, and so incredibly juicy. There hadn't been many harvests as successful and grand as that in her memory, which was quite expansive. No wonder this bottle was perhaps the most expensive in the collection of the tavern, it was a record year and the wine's flavour was the proof.

Her emerald eyes turned their attention back across the upper floor of the tavern to the man who had purchased it for her. She wanted to let him know she was appreciating it; always led to more free things if you gave appropriate feedback. When her gaze fell upon him, however, his attention was elsewhere, on another female who had joined him. Risa blinked a couple times at the sight, as it was not often attention shifted from her once it was upon her. Her natural charms as a nymph usually kept the allure going without her even thinking about it.

Well Risa wasn't going to have any part of this. Some woman coming in and taking her potential suitor so easily. While it was true Risa had only been toying with the idea of further acknowledging the man, she was somewhat competitive herself, enough that the idea she'd been toying with became fast reality when she saw that the option was no longer available. She looked down at the bottle of wine, topped off her own glass, then picked it up along with the bottle and made her way across the bar. While the wine had no effect on her, it would easily overcome the other two, and with her wits still about her Risa could claim the prize.

"My, it's so nice to meet a man with a good eye for fine wine," she said, taking a seat at the table and laying the wine down. "This happens to be one of my favorite years, I just had to come over and offer you my thanks personally," she breathed as she poured up a glass for him, purposefully ignoring the other woman. Empty smiles and feminine wiles were no match for actual, honest seduction. Risa reclined in her chair and crossed her legs over at the knees before taking a small sip from her glass. "But it must've cost you a king's ransom to pay for such a bottle, and to give it away so freely. Your coffers must be quite . . . expansive."
