A bit of bread spittles into his mug and he shrugs and drinks the beer down. He refills his mug with some of the wine and then downs it in one gulf. "Ah, that's better."He smiles and nods. "That is very true... still," he says uncertainly. Then he notes Akos looking at him."I'm sure you're famous enough," the young besotted guard replies. He glances back towards Tim. "You, you I'm sure I've met before. When and where..." he ponders. "Ah! It will come to me," he raises his empty mug to Tim. He goes to drink it and the laughs once he's realized his mistake. "Oops! One should never toast a man with an empty glass. He refills it, stands, and manages to bow to Tim with some grace. "I salute you, foreign knight." He turns to Breva." You too."Then he plops back down into his chair and scoops up another mouthful of food. He looks at Tuck and gives the kobold the once over. "Hmm, a problem solver. If only you could solve my problem... no. Ha! Never mind. Not something to discuss with new friends!"He refills his mug again and looks loving at the wine swirling in it. "Thank you again, for this."Mr. Aceron listens to Akos' suggestion, but he shrugs off Akos' easily. He blinks and looks at Akos more carefully. If he's aware that the Loremaster has tried to supernaturally influence him, he doesn't show it. Could he not be as drunk as he seems?He shakes his head. "I'm not supposed to talk about my work in the Gardens with just anyone. I do have my position in the Regulars to consider. I'm not sure why your asking about the renegade. I've never met the man or have any knowledge of where he is hiding. If I had, I would be honor bound to tell my superiors, wouldn't I?"He raises one eyebrow and smiles slyly at Akos. "Now, if you could provide me with an incentive to risk the wrath of my commanders, I might be able to tell you something about others among the Regulars who might be in his employ. It could be very dangerous for me to do otherwise. If you can get me out of Old City, I would be very grateful and can name those who are guilty of much more than I.""You should have turned in these traitors," Custodio says angrily. The Vanquisher cleric looks like he wants to throttle the young man. "It is your duty.""Duty doesn't pay for my vices," Nathaniel replies with an oily grin. "And my father has cut my allowance back to the bare minimum. I have a certain standing to live up to even if he can't see it. That old codger!""How did you every make it into the Regulars?" Custodio asks rhetorically. He shakes his head in disgust."Please, this is Old City, not New City or the Military District." Nathaniel laughs and shakes his head. "The nobles here in Old City insist on military service for their heirs and The Five are more than happy to have their palms greased to let in runts and scapegraces into the guard in order to appease the oldest families. And they're paying for it now, aren't they?"Mr. Aceron keeps one eye on Tim, but he doesn't seem aware that the half-ogre knight is listening to him keenly. Instead, he turns in his chair to watch the singer as she begins to sing a haunting love ballad that enraptures the entire audience. There is soon a tear on Nathaniel's cheek."Isn't she amazing," he sighs. "So young and yet so talented."He cradles his mug of wine in his hands on his lap, but he keeps one eye on Falen sitting next to him.Falen whispers to Custodio. "He's not that drunk, it seems."The Elite guard looks towards Akos and tilts his head and shifts his eyes in a way to say to the Loremaster.
