The watering can tavern is quitle cozy with part of the interior covered in leafy vines. There is a plump pink hair pixie with purple wings, behind the curving counter preparing drinks and food.. There are several tables that have some pixies eating and chatting. An unfamiliar smell reaches your noses, but it does seem delicious.
There is a chalkboard near the counter with the menu
Cucamelon Sandwitches
Thimbleberry tart
Honey mead
Then you see a spiral stair that heads up to the second floor.
Valrieth follows Finley inside and heads toward the counter. She scans the chalkboard and says, "Hello. Um...I'm not sure how this works. Is the food included with our visit to Pixie Kingdom? Or do we need to pay for that somehow?"
And then, once the pixie answers that question, Val asks. "What's in the cucamelon sandwiches? Not real witches, I hope!"
"One serving comes with the ticket and no there are no real witches in them. Just delicious Cucamelon from the fey wild. Now would you like one"says the Pink haired pixie.
The Pixie next to the pug says she is not sure as Jeremy takes care of the pug.
Gan-Re thanks the Pixie for the information and asks what he should call her. If she hasn't had a ride already, Gan-Re suggests that Hisashi has a ride on the Pug because it is so fun.

"One serving comes with the ticket and no there are no real witches in them. Just delicious Cucamelon from the fey wild. Now would you like one"says the Pink haired pixie.
"Ooh! Food from the Feywild? My parents were born in the Feywild. I'd love to try some food from their home realm! But I'm herbivorous, so only if there are no animals in it." She turns to Finley, "The kids in the city used to call it 'rabbit food' when I was little, but based on the faces they made, I don't think that they meant it as a compliment. Children can be cruel sometimes."
When their food is served, Val asks, "You said that the cucumelon is from the Feywild. Are you or these other pixies also from there? I was told that the Carnival comes to this realm from a place called Prismeer."
"An' ah'll take a honey mead." Finley says, glancing around the tavern, "Ah do have a couple questions meself. Has Lady Zybilna been through 'ere yet? Was supposed ta meet 'er here. Now before ye answer, we are also lookin' fer a kenku as well, bit o' a troublemaker perhaps they've been through, aye?" He sets a couple gold coins on the counter and slides them towards the pixie.
"it must be some kind o' providence fer us all ta meet like this. Gan and ah came to this place lookin' fer Zybilina as she had helped me greatly when ah were a wee lad afore ah grew me beard and Gan-Re and me met because of her as well."He fishes into a pocket for a coin and holds it up in front of him and a fairly accurate image of Zybilina appears magically above it.
(Oops! I thought that I had already posted a response to this part before they entered the tavern. I meant to say that Val interrupted at that point with...)
"Oh! That's amazing. Where did you get that coin? But it's Zybilna, and notZybilina." She points at the word in her notes. "It sounds odd, but Mr. Roslof was was very clear and said the name multiple times."

"She helpt me make it, she's the reason ah can do the magical things ah do and ah could've swore that's th' way she pronounced it." Finley tugs at his beard, "Oh drats. Zybilna then."
[OOC] I make no promises about how Gan-Re will remember her name. He has -1 on history and I doubt he takes notes. He may rescue the wrong Fey and not even realise it.

(OOC: That's how you can tell that Val has a high WIS score: she told the other party member with a high INT. She figured that Finley could keep Gan-Re pointed in the right direction. 😉)
"First gather your friends then I will share the rules. If they are unwilling then mention the reward which is quite fantastic I must say" says Mev
The Pink haired Pixie takes the coin and leans in and whispers. "There is a Kenku disturbing the people and the rides. No one has been able to catch the bird. I am not sure if its related but, Candlefoot the mime and Palasha the mermaid are in love. On top of that, Candlefoot’s lost his voice. Is that part of his act?”
Gan-Re replies to the Mev with sincerity ‘Thank you very much Mev. It is most kind of you to invite us to a game of hide and seek. I shall ask my new friends if they want to play as well.’
Looking forward to a game and a mission Gan-Re is about to head back to find Hisashi when he turns back to Mev and says ‘Oh, your hair is just lovely.'
"Thank ye," Finley says, looking over at Val, "Where can we find Candlefoot, a mime with no voice? Although ah thought tha' were th' point, and th' lovestruck mermaid too?"

Val looks impressed. "It was very smart to offer gold in exchange for information, Finley. I'm not sure where we'd find a mime, but...", Val takes out her carnival map. "I guess the mermaid would probably be in one of these water rides: the Silversong Lake or maybe the Gondola Swans." She points out the top-left part of the carnival. "That's on the opposite side of the carnival. We were originally just making our way around the map: Bubble-Pop Teapot, Pixie Kingdom, Mystery Mine, etc. We can do 8 of the 10 -- or 11 if they count the Big Top -- rides with our tickets. We'll need to split up if we want to cover all of the rides. But maybe we'll find the path to Prismeer before it gets to that."

"I am Mev. Nice to meet you. Would you and your friends like to play a game of hide and seek? There is a special reward at the end" says Mev
"Ooh! Food from the Feywild? My parents were born in the Feywild. I'd love to try some food from their home realm! But I'm herbivorous, so only if there are no animals in it."

When their food is served, Val asks, "You said that the cucumelon is from the Feywild. Are you or these other pixies also from there? I was told that the Carnival comes to this realm from a place called Prismeer."
"We come from all over the places and I personally have not been to Prismeer" says the Pixie as she serves the food.
"An' ah'll take a honey mead." Finley says, glancing around the tavern, "Ah do have a couple questions meself. Has Lady Zybilna been through 'ere yet? Was supposed ta meet 'er here.
