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.

Are you feeling okay? [ Looks down at his tankard for a brief moment. ] You had some of this, didn't you?

[quicksmart]

[ She looks at the tankard, too, hesitating. ]

Yes, but that is not the point.

[aloof_savant]

And you made it, so forget I said anything!

[ He sits down beside her now, where Minen was sitting just moments earlier. ]

I'm happy with whoever you make friends with, don't you know that?

[quicksmart]

It just seemed... odd for you to say, is all.

[ She furrows her brow a little, looking down at the table, as if trying to puzzle this out. ]

[aloof_savant]

It was more a commentary on how this place lacks girls around your age, don't look so deep into it. Unless... something else about it is bothering you?

[quicksmart]

W-what? No! Absolutely not.

[ Starts blushing again. She changes the topic. ]

Caesar, I think I will retire for the night. It is late...

[aloof_savant]

[ Figures the atmosphere is just getting too rowdy for Agnes and nods in agreement. ]

Heh heh... I'm surprised you even stayed up this late. Although, I wish I didn't spend half that time looking for you.
