"Now why would someone like you require more stability, who seems to find it amusing to create his own trouble?" I asked, peering into the bottom of my empty glass before pushing it over to him, my head tilting in an unvoiced request for more.

I filled his glass “There is a large difference between a friendly fight and someone trying to remove your head. Once you have experienced one you realize how much of an amusing diversion the other is.”

"Ah," I said looking more closely at him and noticing the scar, "Is that how you got that?" I asked.

I held my hand a bit over my head “Large Skaldian and an even larger ax. I suspect he is trying to overcome some feeling of inadequacy.” I chuckled a bit feeling my cups as I took another sip my normally sparse inhibitions getting a bit more sparse.

I laughed though, shaking my head. "The Skaldi are a lot like Camaeleans so I have heard, think with their weapons, in more than one way," I said with a chuckle, "and often threatened when they think another man wields theirs better."

“I cannot say about the first but I am positively sure about the second.” I rolled my shoulders “At any rate it was a bit hairy that particular night and the wound went septic and I came rather close to dying. I decided I had, had all the excitement I needed for a while and headed to the City and here I seem to remain.”

"Ah interesting life story, cousin," I said, tasting the word on my lips. It was awkward and still didn't settle right, even if he was being amicable. "But City life has gotten boring for you hmm? You sure you're still as good with your sword as you were back then?"

It is only bragging if you cannot back it up and I certainly can back it up so I peered at the fellow that at last deemed to address me as cousin and offered a one word reply “yes.”

I laughed at his self assuredness. "Well... I mean, you cannot blame me for asking... out of practice and all. Then again, it doesn't look like we will have any invasions anytime soon." I said with a chuckle. "So tell me, Gadleon, are you going ot take my under your wing and teach me all teh Shahrizai ways?"

I thought about tapping him in the ribs with one of my hidden daggers but decided against it if for no other reason than the fact I was drunk enough one or both of us might end up injured. As for the other I just raised a brow at him and responded “I had a dog once and it died so I am not particularly interested in taking on anything more challenging. But if you wish the occasional bit of advice or just someone to bounce something off of I am amicable to that.”

"I think I could deal with that. Though, just a word to the wise... you might wish to try a dog again before you think about bringing children into the world," I said with a laugh.

I raised my brows and laughed. "Not partial to children, I see," I said with a laugh, "so then.. what do you do. Work, come here, let out a few frustrations, go home? No hobbies?"

Hmm, he seemed to have a bit more than passing curiosity but I did not choose to enlighten him one way or another when it came to children “I do not really do anything in particular and generally tend to take up whatever task happens to strike my fancy at the moment within reason of course.”

"Well... like what? You know, you would make a good statesman. All that talk without saying anything at all," I said with a chuckle.

“Tossing people over bars when the fancy strikes me, pub crawling as you have noted, the mandatory womanizing. About the only thing I am consistent in doing is practicing with my blade.” I shrugged “It is rather hard to sum up one’s life in a few short words when put on the spot while rather deep into your cups.”

"Oh pish posh," I said, waving away his words with a drunken movement of my hand, "the only thing one should know when they are drunk is themselves. To forget oneself could be a very dangerous thing in a place like this now don't you think?"

“I know myself I just am hard pressed to describe myself” there was certainly a difference between the two but in our current state of inebriation I did not particularly care to try and explain exactly what that difference was.

"Hmm well," I said with a chuckle and a pat on his shoulder, "I've got all night so if the words come to you, please, don't hesitate to share them," I said with a no doubt lopsided smile. I had lost count of the drinks I had had.

I rolled my eyes at my rather drunk but good naturedly drunk companion “I do not really see myself waxing poetic about the ardors of my life at anytime in the near future and I doubt this bar contains enough booze to get me drunk enough to do so.”

"For someone so open you are rather secretive," I said with a drunken laugh.

I cleared my throat “Alright well I seldom wear under garments” I added flippantly since he seemed so certain I was hiding some deep and dark secret.

"Oh please, who wears undergarnments," I chuckled as I drank the last drop from my glass, watching it drip slowly down the side until it hit my tongue. "Life is far more convenient without them," I said with a chuckle, thinking on back alley romps in my past.

"Actually my reasoning is simple comfort. They tend to bind and pinch things one does not want pinched." Yes, I was certainly drunk if I was discussing this matter so calmly.

I nodded with a grunt in concurrence. "Yes, they do that, don't they," I said with a sigh as I straightened myself in my stool, though I nigh fell off the back of it, grabbing the edge of the bar with both hands to keep me steady. "Dear Gods.... drink up my man," I said with a laugh as I gave him a slap on the shoulder, "I am far too deep in my cups and cannot be left to make a fool of myself alone."

At his urging I took a long sip of my drink "One never knows you may need a somewhat sober life guard to drag you out of the deep if you make too much of a fool of yourself."

I waved off his words with something that resembled a scoff. "Your concern is heart warming, really," I said sarcastically and with a giddy little smile, "but I doubt I can do anything more humiliating than being launched over a bar. That is hard to top, cousin."

I snorted "It is not concern merely me being intent on continuing a condition that I can truly appreciate the festivities in. And it could have been worse. You could have been naked."

I snorted right back at him. "I would not be caught dead naked in this establishment," I muttered, "no offence," I tossed over to the bartender who smiled at me as if in remembrance of the earlier scene. "And you certainly dont seem the type to want to strip me down before throwing me over the bar," I said with a quirked brow. "Anyways," I said with a chuckle, waving that train of thought away. I did not want to have a repeat toss in my near future. "What do you generally do after you've come here. Stumble home? Or go to another drinking establishment?"

I shook my head "Careful with such words as we have seen your state of living can be altered. And with an altered state of living can come an altered state of attire. As for the later generally stumble home. To be honest I do not horribly tear it up that often anymore. I find the aching head the next morning is no longer quite worth the price."
