Table, Food and many drinks!

"Yup...got here just in time!" Lexie let's out as the two of you scan the restaurant and see that just about every table is filled up. "And look at the Scorcher...that place is going to be a madhouse tonight." she points as the line waiting to enter the Scorcher.

"Well, let's eat and of course let's drink!" you tell Lexie "Drink a shit ton!"

The two of you walk over to the wooden table at the front and each ask for different types of meat that also come with potatoes, you also ask for two mugs and a pitcher of rum so you can continue to keep pouring drinks over and over again. After you both place your order and pay for it, you grab one of the final tables that are left in the restaurant.

You both sit down at a table and you quickly pour yourself and Lexie a mug full of rum. "Cheers!" you say to her as the two of you clink mugs and take a few gulps. "Soooo...." you let out "I want to come with you guys to Rathkin."

Lexie smiles at you "I'd love you to come with us!" she perks up "But..." she quickly shoots back down.

"But what?" you question

"No tigers or horses to spare, they all go to us Sunriders..." she mentions "But, you can find another way hopefully...or you could walk and hopefully buy or rent some type of carriage or horse from one of the smaller neighboring villages."

"Couldn't I just ride with someone...like you?"

"It's hard enough on the tigers and horses with just one person through the desert sand and heat. Two people, let alone a muscular heavy man like yourself would probably exhaust the animal."

"Oh..." you take another swig "Well...I'll find a way back to Rathkin...don't you dare leave until I find you!"

"Maybe you should just stay here?" Lexie says "I mean...wait for us to get back. Why travel to Rathkin only to have to travel back here with me?" she asks

"I want to fight with you. Help you out. Fuck Errian." you say a little louder, which causes many other patrons to shout "FUCK ERRIAN!" in the background, mugs clash and people drink.

Lexie just shrugs at you and smiles, raising her mug with the other Sunriders and drinking it down. She let's out a small burp before quickly covering her mouth with her hand. She lightly blushes "Haha, sorry!" she chuckles at you "Rum is good!"

You top her mug off again as soon your food is delivered. The two of you continue to talk, laugh, joke and have a great time with each other. You're already four mugs of rum in, just pouring your fifth, which is causing you to be pretty loopy. Lexie, a little behind as she just started her third mug. All is going well until Lexie just drops what she's saying in the middle of her sentence, she smiles brightly and her eyes shift toward the exit. "Oh god..." she mumbles to herself "Look who just showed up!" she squeals with joy.
