The Fearless Hog. Where else?

A faint look of amusement spread across his features as he realized his tired feet had taken him to the Fearless Hog. He nodded to himself. Since he was here, he might as well go inside. after all, it had been a while since he'd last seen Eldwyn.

He pushed open the heavy door and stepped inside.

The bar only had a few customers right now, which was not unusual at this time of day. He could hear Audrey and a man—Percy?—talking in the back room, and Eldwyn was drying glasses behind the bar.

She looked up as he came in. Her eyes widened with delight. "Lucas!" She quickly put down the glass, rushed around the bar, and threw her arms around him for a tight hug.

Lucas returned the hug, smiling to himself. "Promoted to bartender already?"

"Just keeping an eye on things while Percy is busy."

"All done now," Percy called, emerging from the back room. "Hi, Lucas."

Lucas gave a friendly nod, then set Eldwyn down. "Do you want to sit down?"

"Sure, I'll can take my break now."

They made their way to an out-of-the-way table and took a seat.

"So, how have you been?" Lucas asked.

"Busy! I've been learning a lot. It's hard work, but I think I like it."

"And all the attention you're getting doesn't hurt, I bet."

She blushed and said nothing.

"All those men staring at you, some groping your cute little butt... I bet they make rude remarks too, right? About how they'd love to take you home and have their way with you?"

"Nnnn... don't tease me, sir..."

Lucas grinned. "Don't pretend like you don't like it."

He put his arm around her, and she curled up against him, almost purring.

They stayed like that for a little bit, just enjoying each others' warmth. Unfortunately, Lucas felt a pressure beginning to build in his abdomen.

"Uh, I don't want to ruin the moment, but... I have to go to the bathroom."

Eldwyn giggled and released him. "Go ahead. It's fine."

"I'll be back in a heartbeat."

The restroom was empty. Clean too; it was one of the reasons he preferred the Fearless Hog over most other bars. Lucas went into the third stall on the right and began doing his business. The stall was sober, but he had little else to do, and so his eyes wandered. And that's when he saw it.

There was a hole in the wall, a little wider than his hand. It was perfectly round and when he fingered the edge, it found it had been smoothly finished. There was no way it was the result of an accident. His suspicion was confirmed when he looked through the hole and found another stall on the other side: a glory hole, then.

Had he never used this particular stall before? Probably. The hole was not exactly inconspicuous, he was sure he would've noticed it before. This stall was probably the only one that had one, then. A sly grin spread across his face as a plan began to form in his head.
