Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dark_Jackalope" data-source="post: 3018128" data-attributes="member: 41706">Shark Tank Tavern, Port Verge (evening) – Doral, Morika, PartashRengh turned his head to Doral again, but then just looked away and ordered up another drink for himself.  Too drunken to care much about the beguiler anymore, he climbed cautiously down from the barstool and sauntered over to some other patrons he knew, leaving the two companions to talk over their drinks.Across the room, Morika’s three drinking mates listened to her tale while downing their mugs.  Delluch just stared, looking concerned at the pirate ‘uproar’ she spoke of, unaware of the foam left lingering on his rough beard.  Bertrand gave the shifter a studying look, but then leaned back in his seat, clearly contented with her story.Disonda also seemed to accept Morika’s explanation, until the end when she gave Morika a harder look, seeming to reconsider her.  “Surely you’ve seen worse feuds than these, Reacher.  It is unfortunate that a traveler should become tangled in these local matters… It is interesting that you should encounter them at all.”Noticing that his drinking game had taken a turn towards less light and entertaining pathways, Bertrand quickly spoke up.  “Come, Disonda, the rivalries in these waters are no secret.  They have gone on as long Lhazaar is old, and surely won’t change anytime soon.  It is no business to any of us what our Prince does to protect and grow our city…” Turning to Morika, he added, “And if I may say so, he does a fine job of that.”  He perked up, and smiled to the whole group.  “Now, we still have some drinking to do, if anyone’s going to win those bets!”With that he waved for the fifth round, and they raised their mugs in a gestured toast once more before tossing in their coins and sinking into the sweet brew.  As they drank, Bertrand and Delluch both started falling under the alcohol’s spell, but Disonda and Morika remained steady in comparison.</blockquote>
