"Interesting yes, definitely. Sometimes I don't know whether that's good or bad! There's certainly some... characters around."
A smile touched her lips, Alissa was obviously remembering some quirky person she had dealt with in the past. But it only lasted for an instant and she went back to her conversation with Ariella.
"Oh, well, the luxury rooms are much nicer. The standard rooms only have the basic things you need... bed, very washstand, hooks for clothes. A luxury room has a wider, softer bed, and a wardrobe or chest for clothes. We usually make a point of having more homely things in there too, like some fresh flowers or ornaments... they're also slightly bigger. They mostly have the better views too, though of course the most superior are saved for the four suites."
Alissa didn't look particularly taken aback by Ariella's question, and she was a friendly, open sort of person so she didn't shy away from such questions. It was a good way to make small talk, and continues the conversation. The Vagaran woman had always been told to converse with the customers and make them feel at home, in any case. She gave a small shrug.
"Well, you've probably seen that times of changed in Prime lately. I never used to live here, of course. I've only been here myself a few cycles, since the barrier was lifted. So I think everyone's still trying to sort their lifes back out. Since the city had been inaccessible for so long no trade was happening so wages are down a bit lately. But its still better than some other places in the Empire."
True, Alissa hadn't actually answered the question directly, but had used it to open up more topics to talk about. She gave Ariella another smile and wondered if the half-elf would choose a luxury room or not.
