Shelly's smile turns reflective, "Sure, there were days when I wondered. But I had my family to take care of, and I loved them more than anything. That made it all worthwhile." The raven adds, "Nothing like a strong family bond to keep you from following your dreams, right?"
Shelly takes a deep breath, her gaze drifting for a moment before she speaks, "Well, to be honest, it feels like I have some unfinished business. My dad was supposed to pass on the family Tavern to me, but... well, things didn't go as planned. I never got the chance to fully take on that role and make him proud."
Shelly smiles, a touch of sadness in her eyes, "I think he would be. And assisting is fine by me. I'm here to learn and help however I can. Plus, it's about the people and the atmosphere, not the title." The raven adds, "She's humble and sweet. Could add a nice touch to the dank place, don't you think?"
