Flag down Samantha

In a situation like this, it's best to just try and be honest. Giovanna isn't a grifter by nature, so just explaining herself to the barmaid, maybe they could work something out. Giovanna leans out over the bar and waves her hand a bit to get her attention. It takes a few moments for her to finish pouring out an ale for one of the farmers before she comes over. The redhead offers a kind smile to her before speaking up. "Hey there cutie, don't recognize you around these parts. Can I fetch you a drink?" She leans over the bar in turn, both of them showing the other substantial cleavage, her eyes can't help but dart down a few times drawing enough attention to it that Giovanna sits upright a bit.

"No sorry I um..." she pauses for a moment before speaking. "I need a bed here for the night. I'm an agent of the president and I'm a little light on money right now" she shows her badge to the woman as proof. The bartender takes it and gives it a look over. She's never seen something like this before but sighs and slides it back across the bar.

"Sorry dear, neat badge and all, but I can't just go giving free rooms out to strangers with a shiny piece of brass you know" she smiles and thinks for a moment before reaching under the bar and producing a sealed bottle of bear, popping the top off and sliding it towards Giovanna. "I'm Sam by the way. I can't exactly give you a room for free, but I can tell from your eyes you've had a day." She smiles, leaning back over the bar like before. Giovanna accepts the beer, it wasn't rest, but it was a bit of relaxation to ease her mind. _She takes a sip and thinks to herself, no wonder she's giving this away for free. It tastes like piss. _But even still she takes a second sip and then a third before finishing off the bottle and putting it back down. Sam continuing to look at her. "Giovanna" she replies simply before correction herself. "I'm Giovanna. Nice to meet you"

"Well now then, that wasn't so hard, and we aren't exactly strangers now are we Gio?" Sam asks with a smile before taking the empty bottle and putting it under the table before coming back up. "What I said earlier is still true unfortunately. I can't go giving away rooms for free, even to pretty girls with fancy badges. So how about this, agree to give me a hand in here during the busy night each week and I'll let you eat and sleep here as payment for the help when things get rowdy?" Giovanna lifts her head up confused. She had no skill in bartending, nor did she particularly like interacting with drunks. She takes a look around and realizes the redhead is alone in running this place and she could see how that could be hard when the place was busy.
