Questions

Questions
"Happy to help," she replies with genuine warmth.  "I should be able to able to answer your TEA, STOVE, and ORDERing questions.  Just ASK me about them!"
Tea
Molleine's eyes crinkle at the corners as she warmly answers, "We have an assortment of tea and coffee, just ORDER to see what is available.  You will need to brew it yourself, but you are welcome to use the stove in the orangery to make a cup."
Stove
Grinning broadly, she says, "Oh, the stove?  It is easy, really.  Once you get the hang of it.

"First thing, you'll want to make sure it is CLEAN.  Then you're going to get a LOG and a handful of TINDER from the bin and PUT them in the STOVE.  And then all you need to do it get a match, LIGHT it and then use that to LIGHT the stove."

Playfully she adds, "You got all that?"
Order
"You can ORDER to see a list of the tea, coffee, and..." dropping off, she swoops her arm up in a slightly dramatic gestrure before concluding, "the rest."

News
Molleine Brauxn says, "Well, in order, I know a bit about Scallabrini, Akinir, Tshomlin, and Allarranne."
Scallabrini
Folding her arms at her waist, Molleine says, "Now that is a sad family.  I remember them up in the encampment from before I was able to get enough funds together for this place.  I'm very grateful that the Merchantyle Guild could push my paperwork through so quickly."
Akinir
Pondering for a moment, Molleine finally says, "She was quiet and shy if I remember correctly.  Always had some kind of scrape or bruise, and her fingers were always coal black as if she'd been playing in the ashes of a fire."
Tshomlim
Molleine makes a loud clucking sound with her tongue and purses her lips.  "He was always falling ill and unable to help in the encampment.  Any donations that were handed out, he was quickly selling for coin to anyone that had it.  Usually get to buy a drink or gamble.  I'm surprised he didn't have his fingers broken from all the debt he collected in the encampment, but maybe they felt sorry for him like I do.  I know we all lost someone when Talador fell, but he was losing her even before the fall."
Allaranne
Frowning slightly, Molleine says, "She was very popular up at Doggoroth Keep.  I could remember hearing her name almost non-stop.  She was an amazing artisan and beautiful enough that a lot of folks thought she had elven blood in her, though I don't think you can spit without hitting a Talaadoran who doesn't."  She chuckles for a moment before continuing, "She became ill and he treated her like glass.  Some say he locked her away at home, never letting her out for fear that she would get worse from a cold or the cold.  The only reason that he and Akinir didn't die when Talador became the Bleaklands is because they were off in Tamzyrr trying to get new medicine for her.  Truly sad."
