Searing 1st 120th Aos

"And you're sure about this?" Elinora's tone felt plagued with worry, the look on her and Albert's faces after Patrick explained the situation. Even Dominik seemed a little lost at what to say, but what they all heard was the truth. Patrick disclosed with them what little he learned of Leliana, while the outlander herself sat at the bar waiting for them. It had only been maybe five minutes at best, yet what the other three came to know had to intrigue them as well.
"It's what she said," the second son confirmed with his mother, "I don't know if she was serious or not honestly."
"No, no. She's too timid to be tossin' a joke like that around." Elinora remarked as she absently bit on her thumbnail. "Even worse I'm pretty sure I know what she's referrin' to. In Atinaw it's not a problem but elsewhere, clearly slavery is still a prominent issue."
"And to think the other regions live with honor." Albert muttered with a gruff tone of disgust. "She would've had to fought hard to make it here."
"I'm well aware dear," Elinora added as she looked from her husband to her boys, "I would like to talk with her personally. I need to figure somethin' out myself after all, and if your suspicions are true Pat; then it's imperative you help her adjust here."
"Me?" Patrick looked at his mother and then his father, both of them hinting a smile as the word sunk in. Of course he had to be the one to do it, the moment she asked him for a room he suddenly became the responsible one. "I'll handle it." He then came to agree as even his brother nodded.
"We'll help too." Dom felt the need to assure him.
"Right then," Elinora interjected as she stood straight from leaning against the desk, "let's get started. Shall we?" As if on queue Dominik opened the office door, leading the others out as Albert remained stationed at his desk. Dominik was the first to stop when he passed Vincent, checking to see if the fellow bartender needed any help. Patrick himself came to stop in front of Leliana, a wink shot at her as Elinora herself walked around him. The mother hen did not stop or slow down, that is until she walked around the bar to stand next to the new hire herself.
"Hello, Leliana I presume?" The older woman checked with a warm smile and hearty grin. "Welcome to the Silver Lion dear, my son has told be a bit about you. Would you care if we had a word in private?" When she requested for privacy Elinora gave a slight nod of the head, towards an empty table Rose had just finished cleaning off. "I'd like to get to know you before we decide on hirin' you is all." The mother assured her as she waited patiently, hopeful that her presence didn't intimidate Leliana in the slightest.
