Before they could respond, Zola quickly introduced them: "Alaric, Richard, Ethan, meet Ruby, Alice, and Mila Our top hostesses. They ve been your companions here before. They're not only great at holding their liquor but seeing as you gentlemen seem a bit down today, perhaps they can lift your spirits."
