"Yeah. Have you ever heard of the Kowloon Walled City?" He dries them and puts them away as she washes them.
"I cannot say that I have, it sounds monolithic."
"It was a massive cube of densely backed buildings layered on top of each other. It was completely lawless and was mostly small apartments in which entire families lived. Everyone stole utilities from everyone else. Dentistry and unusual cuisine thrived. It is remembered today for both its abysmal living conditions and its tight, loving community. That is what Mistshore is like. As you said, the people outweighed the place."

May each word that I speak be backed by each of my teeth.
"Those ones are probably still intact since I put those in last. I left them lying on the concrete while I put the rest in to feed the moths."
"We operate out of Waterdeep. Shiru-Kai mostly works by giving back to the community in Mistshore, so they might. Aasimar are pretty rare in that sub-district, though. I could probably take a look through the records if it's important to you."
He nods, “Did you at least enjoy the sights of my homeland?”
“Oh I remember Waterdeep, I wonder if I’ve met them, tell them I say hello, even if I haven’t met them before, and if I haven’t don’t give any context for who I am, it’ll be funnier that way.” He hands them what they wanted with a smile.
*I just found out that grell aren't actually brains with beaks and tentacles...*
"Ehhh..." He holds his hand flat and tilts it side to side.
He smiles back as he takes them. "Thank you. I will." He pours the milk into a tub and puts some nutmeg in there before placing the brains to brine in the milk. "How have you been, Mr. Alterious-Padfoot?"

"Dentistry, huh? Why dentistry?" she passes out the dishes she's made to customers, not wanting them to be wasted.
"The country that had tried for the longest time to control the city had two issues: first, dentistry licenses did not transfer between districts. Second, the pay was nowhere near enough for a dentist to maintain a practice. So they worked in Kowloon to skirt around those laws. There were a lot of people close by, so they could charge less and still make enough money to survive. However, they were left without jobs when the city was torn down for being a 'safety hazard and eyesore.' My theory is that the totalitarian country that tried to own the city got angry that they had no right to it."

“If you didn’t like it you can say so, you are much greater than any mortal life or place.”
He goes back to what he was doing before, thinking “Life has been good, my self hatred has depleted, and my daughter is getting married, my son is growing up healthy, all is good.”

"I don't like it when you say it like that." He grumbles. "It was fine."
Jacob nods, a bit of sadness in his eyes. "Sounds like it."

She picks them up and begins taking them back to her bar, keeping them close to her armored chest.
He shakes his head, “You’ve done so much, I can’t ask for more.”
She pulls them to sit down somewhere, sitting in their lap, facing them, “Thank ya fer teachin’ me.” She rests against their chest.

Maybe I will return. Perhaps not.

The dark metal warps the reflection just a bit, like it has some magical effect in it.
“As long as Wander’s happy I can get what I want without having to ask.” She says with a smile.
She groans softly at their touch, nibbling on their collarbone with sharp teeth, some of them chipped “An’ I’ll keep it in mind.”

She takes them to the bar, sitting them down “What do you want to drink, love?”
“I could use some rest too…” He closes his eyes, snuggling against her warm fur.
“I won’t kill nobody at all, I don’t need ya goin’ after me.” She kisses them passionately.
