Gaven walked into the small bar of Joy Hall, checked the mixology tools, and shook the cocktail shaker a few times, trying to find the right feel.
Unlike Krewen's giant shaker, this was a small one, the kind for making single servings.

He wasn't confident about making multiple servings of Heart-Viewing Cocktails at once; after all, it required sensing the drinker's breath and emotions. The more servings he tried to blend at the same time, the greater the difficulty.
After ensuring he had everything he needed, Gaven then said to Mother Gao Ser, "Whether it's mixing drinks or making Heart-Viewing Cocktails, I'm a beginner, so let's start with the easy tasks first, beginning with Lady Oliela, one drink at a time. How does that sound to you?"
"You're the bartender, the bar is your territory, you call the shots," Mother Gao Ser agreed amiably, promptly taking a seat opposite the bar and truly making herself into a customer.
