Why yes, a troop of soldiers is generally a giant troublesome bother. They eat all the food, they frighten the livestock, they make too much noise … but for some people it could be seen as a welcome delight. Some people like Elena. After all, this many new bodies is rife with potential for business! And fun! And boy does she like both those things. Plus what’s better than trying to get a man in uniform out of said uniform? While they’re here she can often be seen spending time with the abiding heroes, well out of ear-and-eye-shot of their commanding officers. Singing bawdy songs, playing gambling games, and otherwise being a lurking loveable nuisance. But she’s making friends! Some with benefits! And she’s more than happy to introduce them to her friends of the town … whether they want it or not.

There was once a chandler named Beane Whose life was all fairly routine ‘Til the cold came and snapped Left him helplessly trapped With a woman playing lute so obscene
The frigid temperatures have forced nearly everyone to stay shivering inside, and this has left Elena in a dangerous situation: boredom. No one is out to talk to! Or sing to! Or sell herbal remedies to! Or … okay, yeah, anything. But one day, walking by Kendrick’s shop, she has a thought: what’s everyone going to do while they’re stuck inside? Duh, the best activity two bored people can do to get warm! And what better way to help them get their combined grooves on then with inspiring music and inspiring lighting? Yes, yes, at that moment Elena becomes inspired! She’ll help drum up business for Kendrick! With purpose in her stride she bursts into his shop, grinning wide, before finding a chair and plopping into it.
“Kendrick! I’m about to get you some coin with the power of romance!”
Throughout the days, Elena can be found in this spot playing fantastic, innovative tunes that could inspire masses of composers for centuries to come if they could only hear. But who cares about changing the meaning of music in this day and age when the real goal is getting people to fuck?
She’ll remain there until the kindly, beautiful, wonderful, and non-deserving-of-this proprietor finally manages to kick her out.
