Tavern Keeper

Tavern Keeper is a storage keeper and tavern's owner.

Cheong-woon Valley
Hoyoung and Taotie goes to a local tavern listen to the information, because in Volume 12 of the Tales of Tai Yu, he read that taverns are the best place to go if they are looking to pick up local rumors. Ironhide got a fish bone stuck in his throat so hard to talk to Willow like that, but a cool shot of somethin' stuff oughtta wash it right down. Hoyoung thinks that he did have to stop right there, and they're putting in an order with the tavern's owner, and buy the look on her face, she seems troubled about something, sounds like they're out of whatever he ordered, she's saying it'll take some time to pull more out of the storage cellar.

Hoyoung makes a conveniently timed delivery of some Sikhye, with his amazing acting, no one was the wiser.

After several months, Hoyoung and Farasi spent a long time together, becoming friendly with each other, and progressing together to eat soup (original text: Gukbap) frequently.

Several days later, Hoyoung eats soup but does not feel good. She looks through that and whipped up a little something special for Hoyoung which is puts the fire back in his belly.

Few days later, Farasi says she is going back to the sea as for dreams. Hoyoung says he will miss all those lunches (original text: Gukbap) they had together. Hoyoung says even if their paths don't cross, they leave letters with tavern's owner telling each other how they are doing.
