Inej is a pretty solid fixture behind the bar most evenings at The Sarstina Inn. She has an almost natural talent for it, learning people's favorite drinks is no different than collecting information to share with the right people— the only difference is, it’s not the sort of thing she has any reason to report to anyone, and she simply stores it in the back of her mind for personal use when necessary.

Maybe you're a regular who finds your favorite drink perched in a glass in front of you as soon as she sees you approach the bar. She might give a soft smile and a, “Your usual?”

Or maybe you're newly Summoned and know a bar and a bartender are both good places and good people to get information from. New faces get an easy, "What can I get you?" Voice light, accented.

Some habits die hard, and with him here, it’s almost impossible for Inej to keep herself from sitting in the window of Kaz’s room before he gets back from whatever exploration he’s decided to do for the day.

She could use the door like a reasonable person, but the most natural thing in the world is to perch in his window and feed the birds scraps of bread as she waits. One leg is draped over the outside edge of the window while the other is tucked up toward her chest. There's an inherent comfort in the familiarity of it that she can't deny.
