Observing the half drunk trying to sit with the newcomer Alana moves over to where she is and says, "I think you can use some company" as she rolls her eyes at the slurred speech of the man.
Taken aback by all this sudden attention Chelsea says sure to both. She says to Merlin, "You are quite the talker, do you come here often?" To Alana she asks, "Are you new like me? Is this place always so rowdy?"
Tanis hadn't had something to drink for awhile so he decided to stop in the tavern for a quick ale. Upon entering he was very surprised to see lovely ladies and obnoxious gents all together like long lost buddies. He keeps his lips sealed and extends his jaw down as one does when they are taken aback by something but do not want to look too obvious. He moves forward to the tavern keeper asking for a drink of ale.
Gwen, watching the scene, worries about the newcomer. "Hello, milady!" - Gwen politely addresses the young Chelsea: "I am Gwen! Do not worry, it's not always that we see some reactions like those."
In his drunken state Merlin rubs his eyes and says to all the people joining in on the same table, "Wait, can't a man simply talk with a lady without the whole tavern joining in?" He let's out a big burp right after.
Alana turns to the new woman, "I am Alana and these I have seen here from time to time, they seem to have a liking for you. I have never seen everyone meet and greet one person at the same time."
