Burning Skies Saloon
BdrLineAzn:
--Saloon--
As everyone talks to the returned Sunderland and Spoon, BdrLine sees Althea sitting on a stool at the bar and goes up to her and takes a seat next to her.
BdrLine
"Hey."
She hears BdrLine and turns to him with a small smile
Althea
"Hey yourself."
BdrLine
"The calm before the storm, you ready for what's to come?"
Althea
"An Elite is always ready, as the saying goes."
BdrLine looks down at the ground at the warrior answer, after a moment he looks back up.
BdrLine
"How about being scared?"
As Althea is going to answer that she is not afraid and willing to die to protect the city, she sees the look on his face, the one which he may lose someone.
Althea
"I don't know, usually I would say I'm not, but..."
A silence ensues betweentp the both of them as neither try to make eye contact. After what seems an eternity, Althea has her eyes on the ground and sees his feet touch the floor as he gets off his seat. He takes a few steps forward until he stops suddenly, BdrLine feet turns around and turns and walks quickly to her again. Confused, Althea looks up and sees BdrLine place a hand on her chin which he lifts up and plants a kiss on her lips. After about five seconds, he breaks it and goes back to where Niko was sitting.
Yiski:
--Saloon--
Yiski remembers the black liquid which Sunderland drinks. However since his disappearance, Yiski hadn't made anymore of Sunderland's drink. Remembering that, Yiski rubbed the back of his neck.
Yiski
"Not sure if I have anymore Sund. Might've had some before the saloon got rebuilt, but since you were the only one to touch the stuff, I've never made more."
Lauren
"What did he drink?"
Yiski
"Trust me. You don't want to know."
Lauren
"Do you even remember how it's made?
Yiski
"Yeah. It wasn't hard.. wait..."
Yiski points his eyes upward and taps his fingers along his chin.
Yiski
"Give me a minute."
Yiski heads into the back and various sounds could be heard followed by black steam. Fearful of what was going on, almost nobody dared to head into the back. Althea attempted, but BdrLine grasped her arm and shook his head with a stern expression.
Minutes later, Yiski comes out with a pitch black liquid and hands it Sunderland.
Yiski
"Not sure if it's like the usual, but it should be close enough."
Yiski and the others then see BdrLine kissing Althea. Surprisingly, Althea didn't immediately throw him off herself. Nobody said anything, but Yiski did reach down and hand Lauren ten silver bits. Lauren smiled.
Lauren
"Told you not to underestimate awkward love."
N-Sunderland:
Sunderland grabs the drink with glee.
"Ahhh....How I missed that stuff. Stuff of legends, Yiski."
BdrLineAzn:
--Saloon--
Niko looks on as he switches looking between Althea and BdrLine who was coming towards him, Niko mentally groans as he remember she bet he and his men made about the two
Agh, my cousin is going to be rich tonight. Man I knew I should have put in a week instead of a month.
BdrLine reaches him and sees his friend in sort of duress.
BdrLine
"Niko, bud you alright?"
Putting on a quick smile, Niko turns.
Niko
"Oh yeah I'm fine, happy for ya though Even though I lost 15 gold"
BdrLine
"What you say at the end? Didn't catch that."
Niko
"Just a cough." *puts hands up defensively*
BdrLine raises an eyebrow and goes to his drink again.
Gryphos:
--Saloon--
Nidhogg and Tristan sat in the corner looking on at the scene of merriment.
Nidhogg
"Strange, you don't expect to see this much enjoyment before a battle."
Tristan
"Oh sometimes that's the best time for enjoyment. Fear is a motivator, a good one. But rememberence of all you love gives you something to fight for other than self preservation."
He gestured at BrdLineAzn.
"... What do you think he'll be fighting for, because I garuntee you it's more than his own life."
Nidhogg
"So love trumps fear. That sounds really cliche."
Tristan
"But true."
Nidhogg
"Ever the poet, as usual."
They both took a swig of Hellfire, which Tristan gulped down with an espression of endurance.
Tristan
"What even is this stuff?"
Nidhogg
"I really don't know, but it grows on you."
Nidhogg then gulped down the rest of his mug, before making a start on Tristan's. Tristan did not object.
