Kano, Elgot, Rudgard, and Revena enter the dwarven tavern. The air is thick with smoke, the scent of roasted meat and strong ale filling the room. The dwarves are talking loudly, some arguing, slamming their mugs down on the tables.
Elgot immediately grabs the largest mug, drinks it in one gulp, and wipes his lips:
— "Well, boys, tonight's our last normal night!"
Kano silently sits down, lost in thought about the journey ahead. Revena plays with her wine glass, but her gaze never leaves Kano. She smiles slightly, watching him like a predator preparing to pounce.
Her thoughts:
"Just a little longer… and he won't be able to resist me. All men are the same."
Kano feels her gaze but tries to ignore it. Suddenly, Revena leans closer to him, her breasts barely contained by the tight wrap. Kano involuntarily swallows but quickly turns his head away.
Revena whispers:
— "Darling, maybe you're too tense? Relax, I can help."
Kano, not looking at her:
— "I'm fine."
Revena laughs inwardly:
"This is just a matter of time... I know he won't be able to resist."
She runs her hand over her neck, trailing it lower, gently touching her breasts. Her skin warms at the very thought that everything will go according to her plan. She imagines Kano stepping out of the bath, seeing her, and not being able to resist. His strong hands will wrap around her waist… he won't hold back… he'll cast aside all doubt and give himself to her completely.
She nearly moans from the anticipation but holds herself back. Her body is already ready… it's only a matter of waiting for the right moment. She raises her glass and smiles in satisfaction.
Kano ascends to the second floor into the spacious room of the tavern. The room holds a large wooden bed, a table, and a large barrel of warm water. He removes his shirt, tests the water with his hand – it's warm.
— "Well, at least something pleasant after today."
Kano undresses fully and climbs into the bath, closing his eyes, trying to relax.
At that moment, the door creaks open quietly. Revena enters, making no sound, and begins stripping off her clothes. Her body shines in the light of the lantern as she calmly lies on the bed.
She's confident:
"As soon as he sees me, he won't be able to resist."
She places her hand on her stomach, lightly trailing her fingers over her breasts, already savoring the moment of victory.
Kano steps out of the bath, wrapped in a towel, and finally turns his head toward the bed. His eyes meet Revena's naked form. He freezes. His mind refuses to process the information.
His thoughts scream:
"WHAT?! WHAT IS SHE DOING?!"
Revena gazes directly into his eyes, smiling seductively. She stretches out on the bed, deliberately showing off her flawless figure. Kano doesn't have time to say anything – his body reacts faster than his mind.
He abruptly rushes toward the bathroom door, slams it shut, and holds the handle.
Revena laughs loudly:
— "Oh, darling, did I scare you?"
Kano, from behind the door:
— "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"
Revena approaches closer, her voice turning velvet-soft:
— "I've just come to… spend the night with you."
Kano blushes:
— "GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM!"
Revena coquettishly runs a finger along the door:
— "Don't you like me?"
Kano, gripping the handle tightly:
— "You turn me on, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT!"
Revena whispers:
— "Then what's the problem?"
At that moment, there's a loud knock on the door.
Elgot's voice:
— "Kano, open up, what's going on in there?"
Revena grins slyly:
— "Oh, so now it's going to be three of us?"
The door abruptly swings open, and Elgot and Rudgard enter the room. They see Revena naked, standing by the bathroom door.
Elgot immediately covers his eyes with his hand. Rudgard turns pale, blushing simultaneously. Kano is still holding the door shut.
Revena lazily turns to face the guests:
— "What do you want?"
Elgot, gruffly:
— "COVER UP, PERVERT!"
Rudgard mutters quietly:
— "What… hell am I seeing…"
Kano, from behind the door:
— "GET HER OUT OF HERE!"
Elgot, crossing his arms:
— "Revena, march back to your room before I roast you!"
Revena sighs, picks up her clothes, but before leaving, she turns back:
— "Darling, you'll change your mind."
She slowly walks out, leaving Kano in complete shock.
Elgot looks at Kano seriously:
— "Promise me she'll leave as soon as we leave the mountains."
Kano sighs heavily:
— "I hope so too..."
