Aria is sitting in the 'cats tail' a popular tavern in Helenne drinking with some friends. He's pretty much a regular here.

It's pretty late into the afternoon already but the tavern is still crowded. Suddenly the bell rings that always rings when the door of the tavern is being opened. Aria doesn't pay attention to it first but after a few seconds he sees his friends stare at the door intensely and that's when he looks over as well.
