“How long are you here for?”
“Don’t know yet, probably leaving next week if nothing comes up.”
“Are you enjoying our fine capital?”
“It’s… big. And expensive. Why does everything cost so much here?”
“We earn more, obviously.”
“I’m not.”
“You’ll get there. Plus, this is the second-most expensive pub in the kingdom.”
“And that makes it the second-best?”
“Nah, the serving girls are what makes it the second-best.”
“Not the beer then?”
“The beer helps, but it’s all about the serving girls.”
“I see what you mean. Where do they sell the Liquid Sunsets?”
“Golden Thrai, just up the road a bit with the big brass snake over the door, but there’s no way I’m treating you to one of them. Five gold pieces for a single glass.”
“Are you serious?”
“Deadly.”
“Are they worth it though?”
“Oh yeah, definitely. I’ve had one before. Beat one of the Own in a dagger toss. They never play for money, only for beer.”
“…You’re joking.”
“Course not!”
“You expect me to believe you beat one of the best warriors in the kingdom at a game of dagger toss?”
“How else would I get a Liquid Sunset?”
“I still don’t buy it.”
“Go ask him if you like. He’s the tall bloke with the mullet, probably at the ‘Thrai right now.”
“He’s the one who’s half desert, right?”
“Yeah, Ni-Yana accent though.”
“And you beat him at dagger toss.”
“Mhmm.”
“So how come you’re not in the Own?”
“Well… he’s not exactly there as a blade archer.”
“Now the truth comes out.”
“Yeah, well…”
“I saw the prince on the way over here tonight, too.”
“Yeah, he drinks at the ‘Thrai. Good bloke, won’t make much of a king though.”
“Now you’re going to tell me you’ve won a Liquid Sunset off of him, too.”
“Aeia, no. I swear he could make Second Company blade archers if he felt like it.”
“And what are you?”
“Second, but right at the bottom of Second.”
“That’s still pretty damn good though.”
“The pay’s good, yeah. It’d be nice to be in First though.”
“I’ll bet. Do you reckon you could make it there?”
“Might do. I only just got in last year, so yeah, keep training and I might even get myself a horse some day.”
“Now that would be nice.”
“Tell me about it.”
“You up for a game? I’m kind of interested in going for a place in the army as well, might be nice to see the kind of standard I’d have to aim at.”
“Sure, why not? There’s a free target over there, you can take your beer with you. Loser’s next shout.”
“I’ve been to a pub before, quael.”
“Well, I don’t know if they do things differently where you c—Lin’s blood.”
“What?”
“How did you do that?”
“Do what?”
“What do you mean, ‘do what?’? You’ve just hit middle red three times in a row, from the table.”
“You can’t?”
…
“Kaen.”
“What?”
“Stop jipping the locals.”
