Gewen didn't realize his 'just one cup of wine' had turned into five cups, and for the first time in his life, he was drinking his pain away.
Normally, he only drank for fun and he could control his wine intake so he wouldn't get drunk in public. He was, after all, a young lord from a respectable noble family and a renowned general in Draec. He had an image to keep.
However, tonight he drank his heart out in this tavern. Gewen had never experienced feeling this sorrowful before that he couldn't stop chugging wine after wine.
Meanwhile, Kira looked at the tipsy guy with a raised eyebrow. She shook her head, clicked her tongue, and then complained under her breath, "I don't want to let a woman pay for me my foot!"
"The wine is decent..." Gewen said almost in gibberish. "Thank you for the wine... I needed it..."
