Rowan heads back to her spot at the bar, still laughing. As she sits on the bar stool she picks up the business card she left lying on the bar.

Raina glances over Rowans shoulder, “What are you looking at so intently?”

“Oh, just this business card I got at the NiteOwl Club....”

“Thinking of spending some time there with one of the girls? Or do they have guys too?” Raina teases.

Laughing Rowan says, “Well, not for sex anyway...” and she hands Raina the card. “Arent those runes across the bottom? They look similar to a couple of your tattoos.”

Raina smiles, a masseuse... gods, I could use one of those myself.... Raina looks at the card, the lettering in dark blue against a background of light blue and white swirls resembling clouds and sky.

Tannr comes up behind the two women, laughing, he orders a beer from Monty, “I cant believe Nick thought of that... what are you two looking at now??”

Grinning Raina holds the card out to him. “Look at her name. Suppose its her real one?”

Tannr picks up the card and goes still. He runs his thumb over the name on the front... “Eira.... she must at least know something of our culture. The runes are right too... health, strength, balance...”

Raina nods as Tannr hands the card back. She in turn hands it back to Rowan, “Let me know if you go and if she is any good. A good masseuse could work most anywhere, why a high-class whore house?”

Rowan shrugs, “I dont know. Maybe I'll go just to find out...”

Monty hands Tannr his beer and as he turns to leave he leans close to Raina, “Remind me to never, ever, piss off your boyfriend...”
