Brotherhood Bar-Talks

[Laowai]

It had been some time since he had sequestered himself into his favourite dark corner of the bar. The last few months had been too busy.
Between the council, his crews, now increasing, and his personal matters out near Battleship Fes, Laowai felt like he had not been on Crete in a long time.
Though actually, he had been in this bar only last week for his brief conversation with his brother in law (the less said about that the better) and while he would have loved to have a drink then, lingering with the Libertonian "Farmer" was not his idea of good drinking company.
Then again, he almost never drank in company?

Pedro, the ever present bartender wandered over and placed the small green bottle of baijiu on the table. "Well" he said, a slight smile on his face "Its the Elder is it? we haven't seen you in here for a while, drinking with better company now are we?"
Laowai chuckled;"Watch your tongue Pedro, lest someone cut it out"
He twisted the lid from the bottle and took a deep swig, the fiery Kusari spirit burning his throat and instantly warming him. Pedro nodded and chuckled in turn "I'm not known for my tact, just my ability to pour drinks...."
Laowai laughed and raised the bottle saying;"And at that, you excel! here's to you!" and he took another swig.

Pedro picked up the now empty bottle and retrieved another from the bar behind him; placing it on the table - lid off this time - he said "You're in unusually fine spirits tonight? - Kill someone you really didn't like then?"
Ben leaned back into the worn seat, sipping from the bottle he nodded "Actually yes i did, Bounty Hunter cruiser out in kappa; thought we were done for at one point, then the cavalry arrived" he smiled and raised the bottle again "And here's to them".
Another mouthful, Laowai felt himself starting to mellow - it was a good day - he thought to himself.

"bring me another" he said, "i may as well be here for a while!"
