The clinking of bottles now was something that he missed; for some, it was the noise; for others it was the sounds of the bar, but he was far from that right now. Out on the hill, there was nothing around him for miles in each direction. It was simply the rolling hills covered in grass that when on for as far as he could see. It was a piece of mind that only came from the fact that was no one around you to bother you, and no one was trying to mess with you. Taking out a set of bottles and resting them on the ground beside him, each one seemed to be a darker liquid than the one that came before it, each with the label peeling and pouring off; each was a bottle that had been mixed so many times that there was no point to the labels. He was out here to drink and drink was something that he was going to do, taking off his bow and resting it on the grass on the side of him. Unlatching his cloak and folding it on the ground, he grabbed the first bottle and uncorked it with his teeth, spitting the wood out into the fields. At least they had used good wood for that might have been cherry or maybe maple.



"Good wood." Taking his first swig in a long time and letting that mixture of drinks work its way down his throat. That might have been some gin, some whiskey, and possibly a bit of beer mixed into it at this point, and he wasn't too sure if it was more poison than drink, but it was still something. He could put down half the bottle in just that one swig before pushing it into the ground on the side of him as he looked over the hills of Pormont. It was nice to find a place like this, a place far from the noise of the capital. It almost made him think of other things and other places for a second, but that was a memory pushed far to the back of his mind. He looked older, and that could have been the beard he was sporting now or it might just be that his equipment seemed to be more worn now. Downing the rest of the bottle in one long drink letting it pour into his stomach before he tossed it back into the pile. "At least the mixes are still good." Taking out his pipe and little it up as a thin line of smoke connected him to the sky. "One bottle down......I wonder if..." It was a thought but one that was cut short.

This seat taken, chaymp?

Nyancy was already lifting herself to sit in the chair.

Figuah it wasn't since it's empty an all. Not to mention all tha otha seats ah taken.

Turning to the barkeep Nyancy shouted and waved her hand.

Ey' little service ova hea if ya would. Cold milk, Ice cold, Been a long one taday.

The barkeep waved as though accepting the order.

So what's ya story pal. Ya don't seem like much of a talkah but I take you fah an interesting type. Got any hobbies besides drinkin'...

Nyancy stepped up on her seat so she could smell what was in the drink Aalam had downed.

Yikes, chaymp you gotta death wish? Surprised ya still alive aftah downin' that. Smells like lava mixed with zombie parts, maybe a rotten egg ah two thrown in. Heck, I might even staht callin' ya Iron Stomach if you can handle all that.

Sitting back down in her chair, Nyancy began to kick her little feet.

Myself, I'm like fishin' and fightin' though haven't done much fightin' so far. Tryin' to train up if ya catch my drift. Little cardio, little bit ah weights, and all that jazz. The fishin's pretty good in this world if ya evah wanna take ah load off.

Finally, one of the women working at the bar brought Nyancy her milk. Liking her lips, Nyancy took a big chug leaving herself a very prominent milk mustache.

Now that's the ticket. Nothin' like ah cold one aftah a long day, right pal? Any how, what did ya say ya name was?

He took a long pull from his pipe before letting his eyes rest on the felis that seemed to want to bug him in the middle of drinking. Well, that was the danger of drinking in a public space people were able to come along and question his drinking habits. Blowing out a ring of smoke before he reached for the next bottle he was on a mission to down all of them before he got up from that spot and he was a man of his word. "If I had a death wish I would have taken it out in the middle of a job but that's not the case." Taking a second to look at the small feline that was now sharing the table with him as he took another long drag from his pipe. "You are a strange one to order milk at a bar." Blowing out another cloud of smoke into the air before he kicked his feet up on the table, and thought about the things that his life was full of. "I have a lot of things that I do but I only have one hobby."

Resting his pipe on the table as he looked at the bottles on the side of him and popped the cork off the second before taking a swig to see what he had mixed in this one some time ago. It seemed to have been just pure gin, many different types and brands of gin but gin all the same. "And no I did not tell you my name. It's not important in a bar."

Middle of ah job, eh'? Sounds like you may be one ugh them unsavory types, but then again sounds like nonna my business I suppose. I'm just hea to have a drink same as you I'm guessin'.

Nyancy took another sip from her glass of milk.

Strange to drink milk at a bah? Don't you know friend, all the greatest stories and meetins start with a glass ah milk at a bah.

The small Felis winked and took another sip.

Besides, it's good tah keep ya head straight in this woyld. Nevah know something might go sideways ya know. Me, I'm just tryin' to enjoy myself tonight and take a bit ah the ol' edge off, which it seems to me that yah doin' the same thing, Iron Gut.

Nyancy made it a point to call the man the nickname that she had gave him.

If yah ask me, names ah always important. Let's people know who tah thank when a jobs well done. Even if ya ain't out fah praise, a name's needed so they knew who tah send the coin tah. Ah but you sound like one ah them types that woyks from tha shadows, right. Then maybe fah someone in ya line ah work a name is a weakness.

Rubbing her chin and smiling slyly, Nyancy continued.

Still, I'm the opposite, I like people tah know who I am so even if it ain't needed, I'll give ya my name. I'm Nyancy. Hobbies fishin' and fightin' though it's mostly fishin' these days. Ya got any otha hobbies besides drinkin' gut rot and smokin' friend?

"I am always in the middle of work." He took another long pull from the bottle before setting his eyes on that woman that seemed determined to bother his table. Well if nothing else she seemed to be good company even if her drink choices were terrible. Because once again who drains milk in a bar? He was surprised that they had any in the back of the counter. Dropping the now empty bottle on the stack that he was working on that was two down and a few more to go before he would drag himself out of the chair. And apparently, he now had a nickname in the matter of a few seconds but he would entertain her after all this was a big world and he might never see her again after this. "A name brings a reputation and that brings rumors which make it hard for work to be done. But no I am not one of those people that works from the shadows. I just work."

Picking up his pipe and blowing a cloud of smoke into the air as he thought able the last time he gave someone his name. It had been a mess, better to show up get the job done and leave, that made things simpler."And taking your coin when you are done with the job also makes things easier." He took another pull from his pipe and blew a smoke ring into the air. "I grow flowers."

Nyancy scratched her chin as she thought for a moment then spoke up.

Depends on tha work don't ya think? I'll agree that in some lines ah work, shuah having a name everyone knows get in tha way ah things. Take for example ah celebrity that's just tryin' tah have a meal. Everybody's gawkin' can't get nuthin' done. Now that's an extreme. Then again, without tha name they probably wouldn't have the job that made 'em famous in tha first place. I say names ah tricky, but each person goes about it theyah own way. Even if they use ah fake name.

Nyancy took another swig and finished her milk glass. She turned to the barkeep to wave them down and order another. She was liking the conversation with this stranger, he interested her. He also hadn't shown any signs that he wanted to be alone or wanted her to leave so she figured sticking around wouldn't hurt.

So, ya are ah man that's always workin', even when he's drinkin'. Sound rough pal, me, I try an do tha opposite. Relax even when I'm workin'. Havin' a nice relaxin' life has always suited me fine. Thugh these days I'm wonderin' if maybe I'm just lazy.

The small Felis let out a chuckle. As she did the waitress brought her another large glass of milk. Nyancy licked her lips and took one, then another, then another large gulp.

Ahhh, that's the ticket. Anyways, tah be honest, I should probably be workin' a bit hardah. Can't achieve dreams if ya fishin' all day. I guess in a way wea opposites. Still, I don't dislike talkin' with yas. I've had woahse conversations.

Brushing the milk mustache from her lips, the talkative little Felis continued.

So flowers huh. Whaddya like about flowahs?
