"No smoking either. We have rules." I say with a sigh, hated it when people played with semantics.

"I've nothing in my hands. I wasn't smoking." they said, showing their empty hands."See?"

"There's still smoke leaking from your nostrils. You know our no smoking rule isn't just strictly cigarettes and other smoking paraphernalia." I say, shaking my head."Look, the boss only allows you guys because you pay a lot. I dont want to have to kick you out. You normally dont cause trouble, but rules are rules, no smoking or vaping, period."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"I mean what i said, you and your kind have issues with smoking a lot, so either keep it under wraps, or kindly leave. Like i said, i dont want to kick you out" i say, rubbing my temples lightly.

They huffed, another slight gust of smoke exiting their nose "Then i'll leave. Can't believe someone would treat us so poorly; we used to be kings!" They said before leaving

I sigh and let them leave before returning to my post, the Elven bartender chuckling "We'll see him next week, he cant resist our booze"

I nod "Dragons though.. i swear.." i add with a chuckle
