With some assistance by Smoke, I was able to secure employment, which I believe is suited to both my skills and temperament. Being now in possession of some funds, it seems most appropriate to extend patronage to the establishment named after my benefactor.

If there are any in the Sphere who enjoy the fine art of debate, concerning whatever subjects as might hold their interest, I shall be delighted to meet them at Smoke's tonight; and any who succeeds in confounding me and asserting their views over mine shall enjoy a cup on my expense.

A debate at my bar? What a fascinating idea, Huo. As the owner and bartender, I don't believe I can invest myself into the debate as much as I should like but it's certainly a form of entertainment I haven't thought through.

Shall I set up a large table for the discussion, then? By the bar, for I think I should like to at least listen in while keeping the liquor flowing.

Oh, and I should introduce myself--I'm Grift.

Your generosity warms one's heart, Grift-gōng. Such an arrangement would be most appreciated. Much animated talk dries the throat and leaves one eager to drink deep.

Oh, it's my pleasure. It's nice to see people making creative use out of my bar. Besides, stimulating chatter is but more fuel for business.

Now... what does gōng mean?

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

It is an honorific that denotes respect for a position, such as that of an official or, in this case, a business owner.
