"Oh, ah..." Jherna shifted awkwardly at that. Where to now? Honestly, she hadn't thought of that. Her plans had involved her getting a drink and then going home so she could work on her projects. Because she had a lot of projects. And she should check on Simone to see how he was doing with the ledgers, though she doubted he would be having problems with that.
She hadn't really been planning on making an all day event of a random encounter!
"Honestly, I only planned on going home after this," Jherna said with a sheepish smile. "I have a lot of projects I need to tend to and--wait. Did you say 'pay'?"
And at that, Jherna slapped her forehead. "Oh goddess, I'm so sorry! I didn't pay for my drink! Ah, how much did it turn out to be?"
Already she was digging around in her coin purse, cheeks red with embarrassment. She, a merchant princess rich enough to buy the establishment, and she'd made the girl cover her drink!
