Exton

Tonight's band takes a break. Ob and Pandora settle at the table with Keon. Tori follows Ike to the table in the wake of dinner. The smell of peppers and onions are beginning to make her stomache growl. As Ike sets the platter and tortillas on the table, Tori sets down the plates and her earlier purchase.

Ob is laughing at the detail. It is Montenegro, but not quite. Small differences. but good ones. Stoney picks up an image of the piece and shares it with Alise. Tori brings up the hiatus, knowing Stoney wants more time with his family and Ob was anticipating the birth of his little one. Ike assures Pandora that she will help in the Tavern so she can do more and more a supervisor type of work, at least until she felt ready to actively manage the busy nights.

Tori fingers the statue and lets them see the gallery in her thoughts, the older woman, and the business opportunity. She discusses acquiring the gallery. Her idea is to do a slow exchange, leasing the business from the owner, adding some of the artists she already brokers, and setting up an office for their online site. She is reserved, but her eyes snap with excitement.

Keon laughs aloud. "Ye have put a lot of thought into this, and you just saw this gallery tonight?"

Tori grins sheepishly. "With everything that has happened around here? I never really took the time to just enjoy the local scenery." She pokes Ike. "Not like my sister who has hit every store in a three-mile area."

Ike glares at her, thinking of the bags Monty had hidden for her earlier.
