Jerica glanced over her shoulder, then back at the barkeep, trying to gauge his reaction. Was there a reason the big man had sent her instead of coming himself? "...no?"

Mikhail > Zander > Derik > Rehka are siblings in that order

Can't decide on the order of the quads lol possibly this order, possibly not.

But Mikhail and Elyna are the parents of the girls.

Derik is the father of Rekard, who is the cousin of the girls and about two years older.

(They all look amazing but Zander keeps making me think of a Ken doll on steroids)

"Cuz that man." He pointed. "Has cost me nearly fifteen bottles' worth in the past two years. He pays me back, sure, but we like to reuse these!

(Hahahaha fair enough. He kept making me think about when Shrek became human in Shrek II, too lol)

“…oh.” Jerica slid her hand in her pocket and pulled out some coins. “Well what if I drink two? Pay for these ones outright so you’re not worse off if he breaks them, and starts a repayment worth two if he doesn’t.”

“That’s bullshit,” Jerica snorted, furrowing her brow. “No way a stupid bottle costs two whole gold pieces.”

Jerica hesitated, glancing back at the big man at the table then back at the barkeeper. “Whatever. He can buy his own bottles, then. I’ll just take another stout.”

He nodded approvingly and poured her another beer. "Waste o' bottles, anyhow. Tell him to gimme those three back."
