The bar was not all that different from pubs and taverns that Kael remembered. There was louder music, yes, the lights were different, but the drinks were much the same - just more variety. She bowed to Gemma’s expertise for the first drink and got a wink and a decidedly flirtatious smile in return.
“Are you encouraging me to get you drunk, Madam Kaelingrade?”
“As a matter of fact, I might enjoy that,” Kael agreed. “But I’d have to hope that you have better than an apprentice’s garret to take me back to, since that’s all that they give one for ‘room and board’. Well at least for the room portion. The board is quite nice.”

But as someone who's sworn at plaques on buildings that contain errors, or just plain wrong (but who's also appreciated other plaques teaching me about people I otherwise wouldn't have known about, e.g. John Augustus, I can't decry all of them), I can definitely see swearing at museums too.
I'm still dubious of Gemma's intentions, but Kael's capable. I just hope Kael isn't overestimating what she can get herself back out of.
