With energetic steps the familiar Quick Sand sight and her short skirt returned to the bar, adding a graceful flourish, setting the serving tray on the counter with a single motion, while casting an amused smile in the direction of her Lalafel employer.
Turning to face the floor of the tavern, her bangs slipped down into her eyes, while the soreness of high heels crept into her feet. She closed her eyes, drawing in a deep breath, before letting it back out slowly between pursed lips.  Once more she opened her eyes, drawing her bangs back with her fingers as she looked over the afternoon's patrons.
Off in the corner she caught sight of a familiar face with that unmistakable tuft of fiery blue hair. A sense of excitement contentment immediately drew out her own bright smile. She watched for a moment longer, eyes lingering upon the heartening sight of the Lalafel surrounded by friendly looks and voices.
She thought for a moment to tap her thumb on the bar and summon forth a bowl of his favorite snack. But some things it seems, if one can imagine, are even more precious than peanuts.
Madam Momodi brought the gracious interval to an end, sending the girl back to work, with a smile that much happier than before.
