To some it was a tad bit early to be hitting the taverns. It was not quite noontime yet he found himself occupying a seat at the bar. The ale was still warm this early in the day but it would do the job. On his days off he was free to spend his time however he pleased and if that was here then no one was going to say anything that would make him change his mind. There were few patrons at this time of day as was to be expected, a few he had seen a time or two before. He did not make it a habit to come here that often but it was frequent enough that he could pick out a few of the regulars if need be. It was a way to pass the time though coming here would be much more enjoyable if the younger barmaids were actively serving though their hours were worked mostly in the evenings where most of their business came in. All he had to oggle this time of day was an old crone who eyed him with scrutiny, wary of him around her servers when he came around when they worked. She was obviously not his biggest fan for often distracting the poor girls from their work. He only had a charming smile to give her in response to all that. After several more moments, a rough sigh pulled from his lips. He could stay here longer but there was clearly not much going on. Sliding a coin onto the counter, he stood and moved to the exit. Stepping out into the brightness of the day, a string of curses left him as he shielded his eyes as they adjusted. He was not entirely unhappy with his life. Far from it really. But there were times when he found himself growing restless, longing for excitement and change to ripple through the city. It happened on occasion if only because of the lycanthropy that seemed to grip many of the citizens here. Rubbing at his chest for just a moment, he turned to swagger down the street, thoughts of finding some lunch on his mind for the moment. Might as well get something in his stomach to offset the effects of the alcohol making his head spin lightly. |
