If that had been all there was to it -- good crunchy
thin crust pizza dripping with sauce and overflowing with cheese, and a
few creatures not normally seen in these parts -- like many restaurants
G’narsh’s pizzeria may have failed early on (in the first few years
perhaps). But there was another attraction to the place.
Mi’lay -- the elvin beauty who was betrothed to G’narsh -- danced
nightly on the low wall that ran down the middle of the
restaurant. (***) A near naked elvin princess dancing in
earnest with the sole goal of enticing her beloved into her bedchambers
is a sight to behold and available for your viewing pleasure (no cover
required) on a nightly basis at G’narsh’s Ray’s Pizza and Handyman Services...
A tradition that is likely to continue as long as G’narsh manages to
resist Mi’lay’s tempting -- if misleading -- offer.

Note: As a bit of trivia, I point out that that the fey traditionally
separate the low from the high, the common masses from the folks of
birth and privilege in these sort of bar/restaurant/tavern locales by a
low half-wall. It is to this wall that I have referred.
This is not an important story element. I’m not really trying to
highlight it. But during one of my -- countless -- edits, I
removed this color element, only to find that I reference this concept
-- if only tangentially -- more than a few times later on. So in
short, the whole purpose of this note is to add that trivial bit of
information back in... and perhaps to highlight some of the
difficulties in editing.)
