28.05 Too Cozy
“Too Cozy” As a kid, have you ever watched a cartoon, didn’t get the joke then, years later, you see it again and get the adult humor? Does innuendo pass parental guidance? Well, I can’t take it back now. (Well, I could.) But fear not! This and that is about as risque as it will ever get.
Be careful out there.

Panel 1
A side shot down the length of the space behind the bar shows Zathrus leaning back and pulling down a tap handle with her right hand to fill a mug she holds under the draft faucet with the left. She has her head turned with a smile so she can continue to speak with her customers.
Zathrus: "We were adventurers! How often did we squeeze in a room to cut costs, eh?"
Panel 2
The shot pans right as Zathrus turns with a flourish, tap hand raised fencer-style as she lunges forward merrily with the filled mug - beer foam trailing - to the waiting hands of Wak, who brightens up upon seeing what was just served.
Zathrus: "But now, I'm the innkeeper."
Puccini, off-screen: "Being in one room is how you and Lylt became a thing."
Panel 3
The view changes to a close up of Zathrus from the customers point of view. She is in the process of completing her turn, her hands both raised now and looks up, left index finger to her chin and flushing as a thought comes to mind.
Zathrus: "It was cozy..."
Puccini, off-screen: "Too cozy. Some of us were trying to sleep."
Panel 4
Zathrus is in full flush as the entire memory returns to her. She brings her arms in slightly, resting the fingers of her right hand lightly on the top portion of her apron and pointing towards the viewer with a coquettish grin.
Zathrus: "You weren't the one I wanted up all night."
Puccini, off-screen: "Stop that!"
Puccini, quietly: "Not in front of the gnomes."

This made me laugh out loud.
The Go- err Gnomes should probably not be left unsupervised… not drunk for that matter.
