Noticing her when she walked him he readied himself for trouble when he first noticed her sword. Subtly reaching for a large bat hidden under the bar he watches her carefully as she comes up and takes a seat. Smiling a bit at her request he lets go of the bat and goes to get her food.

"Not many come by this way. What brings you here stranger?" He asks putting a bowl a stew and a plate with a hunk of bread in front of her and then pulls a cup from behind the bar and fills it with water from a pitcher that was also behind the bar. He puts the pitcher of water within arms reach of her on the bar and scoops up the coins testing them briefly before putting them away.
