EVENT: Birthday Party

[1000_npcs]

The tavern is curiously more crowded than usual tonight. Perhaps it's the recent influx of travelers who have decided to stay at Budehuc, or the fact that it's a certain squire's birthday, but the barkeep hasn't seen such a big crowd since the days of Nadir's plays. Drowned out by the drunken men's laughter and absurd stories, a small band of musicians can also be heard playing near the stage.

[He snerked.]

Yeah and smoking doesn't? Hypocrite.

[what_a_pain]

Now this- [Takes the pipe out of his mouth for emphasis.] -is just a relaxant. It's the only thing that helps my nerves. [Puts in back in.]

[cray]

[He grinned. 'Relaxant' indeed.]

Relaxant hm? Whats in it, some green? Mind sharing~?

[what_a_pain]

It's a secret, I'm afraid. [That and he's sure it likely isn't easily available outside of Falena anyway.]

[cray]

Heh probably some illegal substance...

[what_a_pain]

Oho. I hope not. I'm trying to live a more clean life after all.

Ah... By the way, there was something I needed to talk to you about.

[cray]

[He perked a brow.]

Sure, what is it?

[what_a_pain]

It's about that offer I extended to work at the agency.

My partner is wary of having you work along side us after hearing about your past actions. It's nothing personal, but I think I need to respect her opinion..

[He huffed.]

Whatever.

[It irritated him that people refused to let go of events that happened almost 200 years ago, but he wasn't going to argue. He was used to it. Used to being treated like some sort of monster. He still didn't really have anyone here he could call a friend, despite attempts to be nice.]

[He's not surprised by the reaction. But he'll at least try to leave him with something.]

There's a man named Oboro in town. You can speak to him if you want. I won't make any promises though.
