Riveting tale, Chap

[Yaoquizque]

The two men were walking on the streets, slowly moving towards the main spaceport.
One of them was staggering while the other was supporting him, trying to help him to walk.

It wasn't truly a hit... And the passerbys were looking at best with curiosity at those two men.

The man holding his friend stopped and repressed a sigh.
"You're sure you don't want me to call a cab, Stevens-san?"
"Nah nah nah..." replied his friend, shaking his head frantically "We'almost there."
"I hope so. I'm sorry to have to say that, but you are quite heavy, friend."
"Yah yah yah... My bad. Just keep walkin'."

With difficulty and quite some panting, they finally reached the spaceport and Logan attempted to gather his thoughts to remember where exactly his vessel was parked...
Quite sure of him, he hobbled along towards an alley which regrettably wasn't the good one.

He started to explore the alleys one by one, railing against the vessels parked for not being the Albedo.
Hogara was following, trying to not smile, and at times apologizing to the people working there for his friend's behavior.

He suddenly stopped, noticing a crowd surrounding a vessel.
"Ahem... Stevens-san..? Isn't that your ship?"
His friend vaguely gazed at the people and started to shake his head "Nah... Can't... Wait... Actually it is."
Frowning, he walked to the crowd.
"Wha' tha hell are you all doing here? This is my ship."

They all started to talk at once.
"Wow wow..." Shouted Logan... "One at a time."

"Someone ordered suchis and asked them to be delivered here..."
"I met a woman on the neural net and i proposed her to have some drinks. She said she would be.."
"A lady bought various clothes and said we should deliver them here."
"I'm the jeweller from 'Hanata ltd' and someone asked me to come here to show him or her our wedding rings."

Hogara and Logan exchanged a look. One of them was smiling, the other was frowning for good.
"Out of here!" Finally shouted Logan, trying to reach the airlock of his ship to open it while the crowd was whining, shouting and complaining at the same time.

When he finally managed to open it, a girl jumped on him in her attempt to get out.
"Finally!"
"You..." started to say Logan, fulminating already.

He then eventually noticed she was 'almost' naked. Incidently, he noticed as well the crowd behind him suddenly became quiet.
"Errrh" He mumbled, attempting to push the girl to make her come back into the ship.
"Wait!" She said, giggling.

Skillfully threading her way between the door and him, she grabbed the suchi bag and the clothes, blew a kiss and headed back into the ship in a blink.
The men finally emerged...

"Wait.. Who will pay us then?"
"...And do you think we could have some drinks with her tonight then?"
"About the wedding rings..."

A big sigh could be heard.
