ISLA
"It's less that I want to be mistaken for staff and more that I don't want it to be obvious that I'm actively homeless," Isla says with a chuckle; humble though her current existence might be, you can take the girl out of the duchess, etc. etc. And given that she lived in another brothel prior to the homelessness situation, once Isla gets over the beauty of the workers, it's with a rather more entrepreneurial eye that she looks over Molly's, lingering beside Remi as he wows them with his reputation.
It's a lucky twist of fate and nothing more that prevents Isla from hearing the suggestion of 3 from the man at the counter; somewhere behind them at the bar, a very merry patron has accidentally knocked a lantern against one of the velvet curtains, and it's quickly beginning to catch. "Oh, gods--" Without a word to the Lullaby (she thinks he'll forgive her), Isla hurries over to help, her manipulation of the flames quickly trying to stifle them from climbing any higher.
