Introductions, Angela's ex and her group of adventurers arrive

The group was still debating whether to meet Angela's former companions when the tavern door burst open and a muscular half-orc in red armor that only made sense in an arena given how much skin it effectively showed off...

Half-orc: Innkeeper, we've fixed the problem with the farmer! Beer for me and mine.... Gods! Angela, it's you! How long! It's been a week!

???: Angela's inside?

A smaller figure with a funny hat and warrior armor. Young in appearance, but probably the oldest person in the room, being a gnome.

gnome: Angela, you practically ran away without saying goodbye! Just a letter, you could have at least given Shuf a little squeeze! Or tickled Claire! We spent a week looking for you! Claire had an existential crisis when she found out you'd left with the merchant and her ungifted minotaur; she thought you'd fallen to the other side.

Angela: Grenxis! What the hell! I had to beat up a stalker lord yesterday, and I even wrote it in the letter. My sister was about to start her career as an adventurer, and I wanted to support her.

Grenxis: So, what about her? Could you have told me she was a hot elf? You know, Claire would have added her to the party right away. (pointing to Sylnohir)

Luli whispers: If I understand correctly, it's not that far from the truth...

Akari: I'm actually Angela's sister! And (voice gets shrill) you're terribly cute!

Akari picks up the gnome (I repeat, she looks like a miniature woman with a young, but not childish, face) and begins to rub herself against it as if it were a fluffy toy.

Shuf: Ha ha, no one takes you seriously, Grenxis, you're too skinny, you need to build muscle.

Sylnohir: True, you're not one of those who hates elves, are you?

Shuf looks down. Sylnohir is caressing his abs and stares longingly at the orca's face.

Shuf: Ah, she shouldn't be wrong, Angela has found some friends who share our passions, but elf...

Sylnohir: Half-elf.

Shuf:... half-elf, I only take to my bed those who prove themselves strong and not just cute... Grenxis is an exception, she's good with magic.

Sylnohir: Well, I wouldn't mind undergoing some kind of test with you... maybe a test of endurance under the covers...

Shuf bursts out laughing! : Ha ha ha, but that's how you get what you want, Half-Elf!

???: Hey, what's going on?

A fire genasi walks in with a serious look and a black suit of armor.

The serious look crumpled into an excited smile when she saw Angela.

Claire: Angela! We found you! I've been looking everywhere for you!

Claire dropped her warhammer to the ground and ran, pulling Angela into a tight hug, lifting her up and doing a pirouette together.

Claire: Angela! I thought I lost you!

Angela: Claire, you're intense as usual, happy to see you, you can leave me alone.

Claire: No! I have to charge myself with your sacred aura!

Claire hugged Angela even tighter.

Akari felt the gnome's face sink into her small chest.

Grenxis: Not bad, but too small to sink into.

Akari: What are you doing?

Grenxis: I'll make you pay my cuteness tax! And I don't mind small ones, after all, mine aren't particularly big either.

Luli: Am I the only normal one in here?

Claire: Oh hello, I think I saw you in a size six. Was it a sophisticated beauty?

Akari: Wow, that was good.

Luli: It's not, I've heard better, especially because she's trying to flirt while she hugged Angela.

Akari: Anyway, sister, this gnome is so cute, can we keep her?

At that moment, Claire broke away from Angela, snatched Grenxis from Akari's arms, and hugged her.

Claire: Mine! You can't have it!

Akari: What! That's not fair!

Akari began trying to grab the gnome while the genasi kept moving her around to prevent Akari from taking her.

Shuf: Ha ha ha, Angela, your sister just woke the demon, let's go get a drink!

Shufh sat down on a chair ready to receive his beer order. Sylnohir, not yet willing to give up, sat on one of his powerful legs, pressing her body against the half-orc's more massive one.

Luli sat down next to her, surely she wouldn't mind getting a free mug.

Angela briefly watched her ex-girlfriend and her sister fight over the gnome friend and then decided she needed that beer.
