Maren let out a hearty laugh at the display. "Good to see another honey mead man! Maren Parrahtide." He said with a grin while sticking out a rough hand for a shake.
Eli returned the gesture. "Longshadow. And mate, I don't think you quite caught my drift there." He wiggled the finger in the mead, enunciating his meaning.
The man took a seat next to Maren. "Well, it's either here, the wilderness, or one of the five slums. Easy pickings. Mirielle, I need a proper drink. You know what I like." This would mark his sixth time ordering a G&T today.
Maren took another swig of his mead. "I know what you mean, I traveled all the way out here from Epicrin just to have a drink among people I can identify with... Sometimes the city just grows tiresome."
"Aye." Elijah reached into a pocket, retrieving a few gold coins and dropping them on the counter for Mirielle. "Sometimes the only place to go is where nobody knows your name." He spoke that last part as though it was a jingle.
Maren raised his mug to that. "Right then, **** them! Only thing to do is show them they were better off with us than without, shine it in their faces eh?"
"Cheers!" Maren called a little loudly, he was starting to feel the effects of the mead that he was steadily draining. "I like you Longshadow, we should look for some trouble together sometime!"
"Aye, we should! Won't have to look too far, either. Trouble is always closer than you think." Eli took a lengthy go at his drink, keeping his eyes on Maren.
Maren finishes off the last of his current mug. "You're right there... If I didn't think Miri would net me I'd say we could find some right here." He said with a short laugh.
Maren shrugged. "The drinks are good but honestly the food isn't anything to write home about... I heard Ash needs some bug smashed, sounds like a good time to me."
Eli discarded the idea with a wave of his hand. "I'll pass on that one. Things give me the creeps. Tracked a pickpocket into a hole in a cliffside this one time, and I took a tumble down Kuan'an-knows-where and landed myself in the middle of one of their nesting grounds. Cracked some eggs on my down and got covered in the nastiest sort of goo you can imagine. **** got everywhere. Anyway, turns out that sort'a thing was enough to wake some of the other things creeping in the darkness... Broke a pinky toe on my outta that hellhole. Nasty bit of business."
Maren pushed himself up from the counter a bit unsteadily. "Well then friend this is where we part ways then friend, cause I've a hankering to kill me some bugs, and I've run out of drinking money. It was well met though Longshadow mayhaps we'll meet again."
Eli lowered an empty glass to the counter. Snatching more gold from his pockets, the man called for another round and sat back to contemplate his own plans for the near future.
