The bar was pretty much empty. Given the time that was understandable. Nobody would drink before noon after all. Since she couldn't start to work yet she just talked with Mitya for a bit. He talked a lot about his mother, how her birthday was coming up and despite their disagreements he wanted to buy her a nice present, but because of poor business he wouldn't be able to. Chloé couldn't help but smile at the mans last attempt so he could get enough money to buy his mother a nice gift.
The day became older and a few customers came in. While the majority of people went to the inn in the other side. Chloé knew what she had to do, but it was rare that she didn't feel that bad before starting a mission. This wasn't an assassination mission and while she would ruin the reputation of one of a bar, it wasn't like that person couldn't rebuild. It was sad she had to do this, but for once it didn't feel bad at all.
In the other bar the sound of the conversations could be heard from the outside, with a regular laughter raising from the various tables. She should get to work, but normally Chloé couldn't really get going on this kind of thing. She had a bit of beer already from the bar she left, but if she really was going to fulfill her job on her own she'd better be pissed drunk. It would take her much more to become dare to do her mission. Though, she should be wary not to drink too much that she can't even collect her reward on her own. Chloé simply ordered a few pints of some strong kind of ale. A few men heard her make her order and whistled at her.
"Missy is going to drink big? Show me what you can do!" One of the men said while Emil the barkeep gave Chloé her order, which she simply took one of the glasses and drank it completely with one go!
"That's it? come on!" Chloé didn't drink often, but when she did she drank a lot. As a result she can actually handle quite a bit, despite her gender and age. Apparently all the binge drinking after her more... depressing requests payed of in the end. After cleaning her mouth with her sleeve she took another one of her ordered glasses and brought it down just as fast as the previous one.
