Peace and prosperity to you, Citizen Moon Piercer!
[It's an odd name to her ears, but probably no stranger than that trend out of Kishar to call your children things like Reason and Liberty and Felicity.]
I'm Lieutenant Tayrey, of the Tradelines. [The introduction that most people get, even though none of them know what the Tradelines are in the slightest.]
Now let me see what I can do.

There follows a somewhat heated exchange between Tayrey and the owners, with the latter grumbling about the Skeksis and troublemakers from the outside, and the former criticising the business sense of a tavern that didn't let in well-behaved, paying regulars like herself.
Eventually, the door opens. The staff don't look happy about it, but they rarely look happy anyway. She beckons Moon Piercer over.]
He's with me. My guest. I'll vouch for his behaviour.
[As they head inside, she mutters to him] That means I'll throw you out myself if you start anything. [Her tone is light, but it'd be a mistake to think she wouldn't do it!]
