[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 6044695, member: 1231"] When Wesh wakes the next morning he has a raging headache and a churning stomach. He barely remembers making his way up to his room and falling into bed. But it was a good night of stories and drinking with his childhood friend Ameiko, Jeyanah, and their two new acquaintances Khepri and Chase. At least if you could forget the blood spilled by the goblins for a little while. Once the quickblade has crawled out of bed he makes his way downstairs to tell Ameiko that he is going to go home to rest until he has gotten over his hangover, figuring that it is better to make a mess at home rather than in the Rusty Dragon. When he gets there an empty house greets him; his father could handle himself in a fight, so it was unlikely he was injured too badly in the attack. Wherever he was, it was probably not wasting time lying around like his son. It was early evening by the time Wesh was feeling he could hold the contents of his stomach down, though his headache had yet to pass. But he picked himself up and left the house, checking back in at the Rusty Dragon before going out to see what he could help with. Unfortunately the quickblade, having spent most of his time devoting himself to the art of knife-fighting, does not have much in the way of skills that would be useful in a cleanup. But he does have a sturdy enough back, and he is able to help with porting goods around. Once nighttime has come, Wesh's skills as an entertainer are put to good use. The attack has meant more than a few people could use something to keep their spirits high. Between feats of juggling, sleight of hand, and a bit of dancing when appropriate, he is able to keep the crowd going that night. After what happened last night though, he decides to lay off the drink for a bit. Cayden Cailean might disapprove, but he hopes the spirited god can let that sort of thing slide from time to time. After all, he is supposed to be the "Happy Drunk" , and Wesh is not going to be feeling too happy if he has another morning like the last. The next day is rather like the one before, minus the hangover, which means the quickblade is able to be productive for most of the day. That night Wesh is able to enjoy a drink or two at the Rusty Dragon while talking with friends and companions. But he still takes it easy and retires to his room upstairs at an uncharacteristically responsible hour. The rest of the week is spent between the usually odd jobs Wesh had traditionally found himself saddled with and taking directions from Sheriff Hemlock and his father, whom returns later in the week from some errand he had been taking care of for the Sheriff. Plenty more time is found for drinking with friends, and he rather enjoys his newfound status. Though "Hero of Sandpoint" does sound a little overwrought, Wesh likes to think that his recent exploits have added nicely to his status as Sandpoint's Favourite Son. Speaking of which though, Wesh does find some time to talk alone with his old man. His father had long since come to respect his abilities with blades, but for the first time in a long time they were able to talk without him feeling reserved about the pride he felt in his son's actions. And that was good. [/QUOTE]
