He looks the place up and down and takes all of two seconds before nodding in agreement.
"Jared."
He gestures towards the revelry without really looking at it. Yes, this was exactly the kind of thing he'd expect. Jared was in it for the thrill of things, anyways.

The Minnow chuckles softly and dances a few steps.
"Poor Mrs Jared. We're here."

The almost surprisingly quiet side-alley they were walking down opened up a little and branched off to the right, framing around a rather large, red, not quite straight, building with timber inlays. Black painted pipes run along the outside of the walls in a completely irratic pattern and some leak and drip. Minnow knows it as the back of the Fifth Glass. The sound of a rather large crowd can be heard from up front where the building leads on to a square.
A few dogs are running around. One suddenly stops and looks up at Taur with a very suspicious look before heading up towards them.
Suddenly the back door opens and a person appears, dashing out and down the few steps at a terrible speed. It is a man. Blonde and fair. He appears dressed in an awful rush, his shirt still undone and trousers only half buttoned up. In his hands there is a big bundle and a sword stick out. He is grinning widely, even laughing a bit. Behind him, from inside, there is a loud noise of thumping feet, shouts and shrieks. Both of a rather angry sounding Female and the familiar booming voice of a fuming Filias Decamron.
F "GET BACK HERE YOU FUCKING BASTARD! I'LL SEND THE BEAST ON YOU! GET BACK- STOP!"
Up above a couple of windows slam open and a woman in each emerges. Looking at the scene.

The Minnow instantly lets go of Tah's arm, and reaches for a broomstick. As the man is dashing past, she sticks the stick between his legs to make him trip, then shoves it straight up with as much force as she can muster.
"Forget to pay, friend?"

Taur didn't exactly understand the situation. He was not inclined to help, or to stop the man, really. If the man drew his sword, he would die. That was Taur's simple logic on the matter. It wasn't his problem until the other man decided fighting was necessary, which he just might.
It would be good practice for tomorrow.

The man has barely any time to react as ther suddenly is a broomstick between his legs. With a loud yelp he falls spectacularily and ungracefully to the ground. Rolling aside a little as he glares up at Minnow. Suddenly not quite so laughing anymore.
From the door bursts a very red in the face Filias. His coarse brown hair is greasy and messy and quite long. His face is puffed up and his small dark eyes look even smaller than normal. One of them looks a bit redder than the other. He has gained a fair few pounds since Minnow saw him last. Mostly around the waist and under the chin.
F "HA! THERE YOU GO YOU FUCKING ASS! I'M GONNA REMOVE YOUR PAYMENT FROM YOUR PATHETIC LITTLE PRICK YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"
Barely a step behind him follows an equally fuming (and even worsely dressed than the man) Qumin Ydira. Her beatifully decorated undergown is ripped open up front and her usually perfect hair looks a bit of a mess as if someone had been tugging it.
Q [Elven]"Get him! OH- YES! THANK YOU- ..." She looks a bit baffled and blinks at Minnow, though still fuming.
The man seems mostly worried about those pursuing him than Minnow and Taur and scrambles to his feet.

Minnow sighs and tuts when the man scrambles up to dash off again. She turns the broomstick to use the broom end, and she uses the energy in the swing of the turning around to thwap the man in the face with the broom-end. That should halt him a little more. She nods at the two people coming running out of the backdoor.
[Elven] "Hiya Qumin."

Taur watches the man scrambling to his feet, and watches the broom come straight towards his forehead. Hm, not a bad swing. She could use some practice, but it was overall a decent blow.

The man receives a good and proper thwap in the face courtesy of the broom and stumbles.
L "O-...oow."
He reaches a hand to his forehead where he was hit and blinks a few times, obviously a bit affected by the mighty blow.
Filias reaches them and grabs the man by the hair. Two big handfulls of blond unruly strands. The man suddenly looks rather small. Filias glares daggers at him before looking up at Minnow, eying her over once and then nods in the direction of Taur.
F "Minnow. I'll be damned. Brought business? Sheshka's old room's free. My share as usual."
The man whimpers and tries to wriggle free but can't.
Qumin is storming straight up to the man and gives him a good and proper slap. She gives Minnow a nod and then eyes Taur over and winks at him.

Taur raises an eyebrow, looking down at the people gathered before him, his arms crossed. He was curious as to exactly how these people considered him business in any sense of the word.

"Just visiting, Filias, that's all. Have to talk to Adeolar, is she available?"
She whistles between her teeth at Qumin.
"Back off, duchess, he's mine, and he's broke. Get yourself fixed up, first."
She tosses the broom back where she grabbed it from.

Filias grunts.
F "Oh. Well, she's kinda busy right now. But she'll probably be free soon enough. Another drunk'un."
The man firmly held by Filias' hands glanced around as if trying to figure a way out. He tried to make a dash for it but Filias caught him.
F "Try her door in a bit."
Qumin scoffs and heads back inside.
L "I-I-I'll pay. No. Really. I will. I-I just... heeeh heh Filias old boy..."

Minnow nods.
"Sure thing. Lots of drunks in these days? Old Kark still alive?"
She puts her hands on her hips, very much resembling her mother, and shakes her head at the man in Filias' grip.
"You got this sort of regulars now, do you? Have Flik work him a bit."

"Broke? I not broke."
Taur frowned at the comment, not following the conversation too well.
"I healthy."

The Minnow glances aside at Tah, raises both her eyebrows, and then laughs.
"Yeah, I know you are. Haven't had enough for the night?"
She holds her hand up and rubs her middle finger over her thumb.
"Best be able to afford it, then."
