“Thanks for agreeing to stay, Laurelai. I really appreciate it.” The orcish tavernkeep stepped up to the bar, his hands moving on muscle memory alone as he cleaned a tankard with a rag. His tavern was empty, save for him and his one barmaid who agreed to stay in case they got any customers this Candlelights Eve.
“Don’t mention it boss!” The chipper fairy woman responded. She sat on the edge of the bar's counter, dressed up in her holiday work uniform as she kicked her feet in the air. It had been just her and her boss, Duldrall, for the past couple of hours cleaning and making small talk as they waited for the work day to come to an end. “Is it normally this slow on Candlenights Eve?”
“Eh…” Duldrall rocked his hand back and forth. “Normally we have a few stragglers here and there but this year we’re dead.” Almost as if the gods themselves were mocking Duldrall the moment he finished that sentence the door to the tavern swung open, blasting cold winter air into the toasty building. The calm of the night was overtaken by joyful and rambunctious chatter as a dozen or so festively dressed goblin folk came pouring in. “Oh lord, look alive Laurelai.” He placed the tankard down onto the counter and called out to the group of goblins with a booming voice. “Welcome in! Please take a seat wherever you like and we’ll come and get you all situated!” He then lowered his voice down to his normal speaking volume. “I’m going to start taking their orders if you want to go into the back and get ready.”
Laurelai bolted upright, causing her grape sized tits to wobble on her chest as she saluted Duldrall. “I’m on it boss.” She flapped her wings, lifting off of the counter top and making her way to the back while Duldrall walked around the counter and began taking the party’s order one by one. Once in the back Laurelai took off her top, letting her breasts hang free and leaving her with just her leggings, gloves, and shawl on. Next she grabbed the custom milk-pumps, fastened the belt around her chest and over her waist, then placed each suction cup over her puffy nipples. “Phoo, let’s do this.” She fluttered back through the doors, into the front where Duldrall was just finishing taking the last orders.
“Ah, just in time Laurelai!” Duldrall exclaimed as he jotted down the final order and made his way back to the bar counter. He got to work mixing the first handful of drinks, some went into tankards while others went into glasses or mugs. “First table has an Ale, a Bailey’s Hot Chocolate, and a Cloverfield Coffee.” He placed them onto a small tray and handed it off to Laurelai who fluttered off whilst he began knocking out the next table's order.
As she flew through the cheerful crowd she turned on the pump to begin collecting her sweet creams to finish off some of these orders at the table. The suction cups latched onto her nips and began suckling away, pulling and tugging away at them as milk was forced through her nipples, down the tube, and into a waist pouch full of tiny bottles. “Here we go.” She greeted the first table. “I have an Ale right here for you,” she placed this drink in front of a skinny fellow who sported a yellowish hued skin, “and the Bailey’s Hot Chocolate and Cloverfield Coffee just need their finishing touches.” She placed the two drinks down in front of their respective customer and poured a splash of sweet cream into the both of them. “What brings you all in today? Especially dressed up as festive as you all are.”
“Nothing much,” The yellow tinted goblin started before taking a long swig of his ale. “We were out carolling then we dropped off the donations to the local orphanage.”
“Yeah,” The goblin who ordered the alcoholic coffee piped in. “We thought we’d stop by to warm up and enjoy the rest of our nights.”
“Aw!” Laurelai gushed. “And everyone here is part of your group?” She watched the three goblin men nod at the same time. “That’s… that’s really something! I’m sure those kids really appreciated that. You guys are really something!”
“It’s nothing, really.” The third goblin man took a sip of his hot cocoa. “We try and do it every year for whatever town we find ourselves in. Give back a bit of charity that we’ve all received before.”
“That’s still so sweet of you all.” Laurelai wiped tears from the corner of her eyes, touched by the patrons' actions. “I’ll make sure to have the boss man shave a bit off of the bill for ya.”
“That’s really not necessary-”
“I ain’t having none of that!” Laurelai cut their protests short. “It’s the holidays anyways and you boys deserve a gift of your own.” The goblin men thanked her for their drinks before she returned back to the counter for the next order.
“Here you go,” Duldrall pushed another tray of drinks her way. “Got another Bailey’s Cocoa along with a White Dwarven and two Eggnogs.”
“On it boss!”
It was grueling work, table after table of warm alcoholic drinks for the jolly impromptu celebration the tavern patrons held for themselves. By the time all the tables were served some were ordering another round of drinks keeping the momentum of work going. After an hour Laurelai could feel her hard nipples grow sore as the pumps relentlessly drained her teats of their cream but with being the only barmaid there and the customers such kind folk she pushed through. The gentle celebration, now with alcohol and booze mixed in, had gotten rowdy. Some of the goblin patrons had taken a table and used it as a makeshift stage as they slurred Candlelight carols, others danced, while some partook in some drunken conversation. Eggnog, hot buttered rum, bailey’s hot chocolate, white dwarven, mudslide; they were all ordered en masse, each requiring a splash of cream to be fully complete. By the second hour Laurelai’s nipples ached, practically screaming in protest at being teased for hours at this point. But she didn’t care, she chatted with the little green men, partook in some dances and drinking games. Hell even Duldrall, her no nonsense boss, had gotten caught up in the festivities as he joined the carollers for a song or two.
“Bye! Have a happy holidays!” Laurelai waved as the group of festive goblins stumbled their way out the front door of the tavern. Each turning to wave or slur together a happy holiday of their own in return. Once they had all filed out, leaving Laurelai and Duldrall in the empty, once festive and bustling, building with a fair amount of dishes and tables to clean. “Whew! I need these things off right now!” Laurelai ripped the suction cups free from her tits and tossed the pump to the side. Her nipples were rock hard, twitching, and a vibrant red from the continuous three and a half hours of abuse they were just subjected to. “Phew~” She plopped down onto the counter, tentatively bringing her hands up to her nipples to massage them but the slightest touch caused her to wince. “Say boss, they ever tell you why they came in tonight?”
“They did.” He curtly responded. “Good men they are.”
“Yeah…” Laurelai sat in silence for a short bit before continuing. “You give them a discount or something? You know, in the name of the Candlelights spirit?”
“No.” Duldrall turned away from Laurelai and began getting to work on a pile of dishes. “I didn’t charge them anything.”
“Aw! I didn’t know you were a big softie!”
“I’m not.” Duldrall snorted. “Just thought I’d give back to the community as well. Now go start cleaning the tables, I don’t want to keep you here past midnight on Candlelights Eve.”
Laurelai let out a soft laugh, “Sure thing boss! Just uh… mind if I grab a healing potion from the medkit in the back first?”
