They uh… you’re gonna talk to them in a bit, you stammer! Regardless-

“Forget it,” Groans the leader of the pack as he levers himself out of his seat, “Too loud ta’ get a buzz in here anyways.” Shoving past the mysterious figure, Lido leads the charge towards the tavern exit. “C’mon boys… we’ll stop at the next one.”

The rest of the Spicys file out like kids on a field trip. Stoic as a statue, Biiba the Skog makes a point of stopping at the cloaked questioner’s side with unusual venom in his glare!

The remaining patron doesn’t react. Stomping after his pals, Biiba leaves the two of you alone at a now-vacant table.

“M-my thanks, sir,” He mumbles, standing awkwardly behind one of the table’s seats, “It was not my intent to upset your customers…”

Yea, well, you shrug, they seemed like trouble anyways. He knows they were Spicys, right?

“Y-yes… I’m aware of the term…” Nods the figure as he finally opts to sit down, “Truth be told, I sought to incense them enough to share their knowledge…” He shifts awkwardly. “An underhanded tactic, to be sure, but…”

Stopping mid-sentence, a sheepish laugh leaves the would-be instigator’s lips! “But where are my manners!? Y-you must be busy. Pray, don’t concern yourself on my account–I shall endeavor to respect your rules for the remainder of my stay!”

You can’t shake the feeling that something’s up with this guy, but you also have better things to do than let random patrons cry on your shoulder! Wait a second… do you? Isn’t that, like, half of what being a bartender is? Did… did you finally make it?!

Man, if only Liz could see you now! She’d…

… Nah, she’d probably still hate your guts. Anywho, what do?
