WHEN: Right now.
WHERE: Le Gavroche, wherever such taverns are found.
WARNINGS: Drinking, sex, I'll update as necessary.

Welcome to Le Gavroche! The tavern is styled as a proper French inn in the mid 1800s. Most everything is dark wood or heavy metals, though there are many Westerosi touches to it in the form of richer fabrics on the chairs and booths, curtains, and even some faux fur pillows Eponine had found. The result is oddly homey, feeling like the sort of place that's been there for years, even if they'd just opened.

At the bar there are primarily wine and beer to drink, but a variety of mixed drinks are also offered. If you want your shots, they've got them. She's actually got one she calls the French Bullet which consists of half a shot of cognac, and another half chambord. More fun drinks to come, without a doubt.

If you're hungry, there's a variety of foods available, though they all lean toward the simple side: fruit, bread, cheese and meats. But who doesn't love a good charcuterie?

everybody raise a glass
Oh, did you know there's music? OF COURSE there is music! Anything that would make a tavern lively is playing through the cool machine that Eponine has chalked up to being magic. There's dancing, too, a few tables pushed away to make a sort of makeshift dance floor.

If you're lucky, you may just be allowed to actually dance on one of the tables. There aren't many rules here.

Really though, it's just a good time in a brand new spot. Come and have a frickin' party, let loose and if a fight breaks out, there's a sword behind the register that Robb can use.


doling out the charm
For the course of the evening, Eponine is running around. She's greeting customers, welcoming them to her bar, and explaining just why they named it what they did. For her little brother, she'd tell them, and point to the painting she found that looked somewhat like him, and hand hanging behind the bar.

She's dressed well in a more Westerosi dress (from Robb, via Sansa), her hair brushed until it shines. All night, she cannot help but smile, even more when she pauses go steal a kiss from Robb, or, behind the bar when she has no problem with a quick butt grope. Not professional behavior, but who ever said she was a professional?


look what's happened since (for robb)
"We did it!" Eponine beams over at her partner in crime and business, coming up to him to hug him when the last patron has finally left. She's been kissing him whenever she can steal a moment, happy to shower him with affection. She's dressed up for the night, wearing the dress he bought her, and that alone brings out the light in her eyes. She's happy here, for the first time in a long time, she is truly happy.

"You are so brilliant, my Robb." She kisses his lips this time, wrapping her arms around his waist so they can be close.

"You want what's best for your brother." Inesa's expression softened as she reached for Sansa's hand. "I understand that Sansa but it's up to him to decide who makes him happy and I think everyone deserves to be happy. Even if you don't like her, look at Robb."

She gestured over to the war weathered man. He was more relaxed compared to when Inesa first saw him though she didn't truly have a sense of him. "What do you see when you look at him?"

She groans, very much a teenager, but looks over at Robb. He seems confident, and she can tell having something to do other than sitting around and drinking like he was Tyrion Lannister himself was good for him. "I know, but..." She had no room for a but. Their entire family, those of them that were here, were dating those they shouldn't have, by Westerosi logic. Sansa shouldn't have been sharing a bed with a traitor, Jon had shared his with a Wildling, and now Robb...

She remembers what he said, about wanting to forget.

"He does look happy."
unknownmoirai: (Uncertain)

Inesa watched her friends expression carefully. She knew a great deal about Westeros but there was much about the culture that she didn't fully understand.

"What is it Sansa? You can tell me. I promise it'll stay between us. Perhaps, I can ease your worry?"
toivory: (with robb)

"I don't suppose..." she looks over at him, at the handsome smile on his face and how long it'd been since that day in Winterfell when she'd said goodbye to him for the last time. "He asked me about forgetting. If there's some sort of magic that could help him forget his last moments."
unknownmoirai: (I don't know what you mean)

[personal profile] unknownmoirai 2020-08-25 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"Forget?" Inesa hesitated, her fingers circling around her chilled cup. "There is magic like that... but I do not know it. Someone here might. Does it worry you? If he forgot?"

This wasn't something that she felt like she could offer her opinion in. No matter how sad, Inesa was going to live a very long time and her memories were the most important things to her.
toivory: (play of the game)

"No- if he forgot, it would only be his death, would it not? That night? It would certainly ease his nightmares, though we both know of the horrors of the battlefield that he must have seen." She looks over at Robb and gives him a smile before turning back to Inesa.

"I want him to be happy here."

"Yes." Angel glanced over at Robb. "Should we ask? Maybe say that it's for me first. That there is something I want to forget and see if there is someone here who can help me? Then Robb won't know and you can ask him if he wants that after we know who can do it."
toivory: (THINKING)

"If you're alright with it. I don't know if he's thought to ask anyone around here, but considering some of the questions I've asked..." She may or may not have asked someone once about oh, y'know, helping Theon out a little. Or a lot.

"You're brilliant, you really are."
unknownmoirai: (Light smile)

Inesa nodded her head with a warm smile. "I don't mind. And I think it might be best. You can speak with them on my behalf and you'll know if they are a good fit for Robb before then going to him." She thought it was best if Sansa was the one to do it and if it didn't work out, Robb wouldn't have to know until Sansa was ready to talk to him about it.
