3rd of Spring, 512 (Evening) 3rd of Spring, 512 Pig's Tavern The sun was setting in the horizon as Jack left the alley. The common citizen were on there way home, while the less honorable ilk (much like himself) were preparing for their night time activities. Jack moved sluggishly into the Pig's tavern, his body movement reminiscent of a sedated bear. Scrapper moved right behind him, just as tired. He gave a nod to merv and a few regulars and took his place at the end of the bar, closest to the window. Merv made a mug of ale and placed it in front of him. "Well, well, haven't seen you in a while. Had a rough winter, did ya jack?" The thief smirked. "You could say that. Seems just about everybody had a 'rough winter'." Jack took a healthy gulp of the ale, letting it slide down his throat, enjoying every second, as Scrapper made his way to jack, where he laid down next to the stool. Between the storms and the bouts starvation, Jack should be dead, or at least damn close. But, like always, he found his way through. Now jack was content to do something he missed all those days he was cold and hungry: Enjoy the numbing oblivion of alcohol. And today he was going to make up for lost time. |
