A BARtiful time

Ailbhe has walked in, almost kicking the door and scared the life out of someone who walked past. She inhaled through her nose, taking in the smell of alcohol and a life she had since left behind. But she enjoyed going to a bar, just reminisce about what she used to do before she came to the island.

She had been sitting down as she glanced around herself. Just out of curiosity, to observe who else was there. She spotted the man who sat just a few metres away from her. At a quick glance, he wouldn't have been anything worth making note of. But she noticed his peculiar looking drink, and took the time to observe him some more. It wasn't too hard to spot the scales and she squinted at him for a while longer.

She got the bartender's attention. "What's that he's drinking? Can I have some?" She sounded curious as she asked. The bartender explained it was ale, mixed with dragon's blood. They also happened to mention it was pretty strong. Now Ailbhe was very intrigued. She stood up and went to sit on the stool next to Sev's. She looked him up and down. "Want to have a drinking contest?" She deadpanned.

Ailbhe squinted at the man. She took note of what he looked like, what kinda build he had, his body language. She figured if she had to fight him, she probably couldn’t match. But he didn’t exactly look like a swimmer. Man she got deja vu to that lady who practically dragged her to a piss tier bar. Ailbhe noted how he looked at her though. She’d seen that look from men before, and frankly she wanted to punch him. But she was civilised now, no punching. At least not yet.

She took the full drink, and gave it a sniff. Didn’t seem too bad. Then, she looked this guy, Sev, right in the eyes. Then started downing the entire drink. She did not break eye contact for even a second. Didn’t even blink. She slammed the now empty mug down. Wiped her mouth, then released a pretty loud burp which made a few other people in the bar look at her. “Ailbhe Douglas, you might’ve heard of me? Wanted pirate and all?” She looked at her nails boredly, but there was a smirk on her face.

Ailbhe watched him and attempted to still be cautious but... she really underestimated the strength of that drink. It didn't taste half bad and it definitely had an effect pretty quick. But Ailbhe could also hold her liquor pretty well, especially when you considered that with her weight and height she should be blackout drunk by now. But, she flashed a casual grin.

She leaned a little against the counter as she waited for Sev to get more drinks. "Fair enough. Just where I used to live, then where I used to work." She shrugged. Ailbhe always felt more comfortable saying small details about her background while drunk, but she wouldn't get into too much detail. Sev would have to unlock a higher friendship level for that.

When another mug arrived, Ailbhe promptly picked it up. She thought about smirking at Sev and downing the entire drink without doing a toast, but then decided that since he was being so nice she figured why not. After toasting, she promptly downed half the mug. "Company is better than being lonely when you're drinking." She laughed before she drank the rest of it. She kind of swayed in her chair already, and she knew she was probably drunk. Actually she was definitely drunk. But she always remained pretty coherent when she was drunk... most of the time...
