From drinks to things [Caber]

The last few days had been a whirlwind for Caber. Many monsters were hunted, people were saved. But most importantly, there was loot to be had. The loot was sadly not too impressive, but he had at least received some Shards as thanks for his... "help". The point was that monsters died and people lived. Who cared about collateral damage?

Caber finally made it back to Mystopolis. While he wasn't the biggest fan of staying in one place for extended periods of time, there was always something going on in Mystopolis. For better or worse. The Exo hoped that this time it would be for better, as he headed straight into one of the bars that he usually frequented while he was in the great city. The bar tended to be on the quieter side, most of the time. That was where Caber came in. Quite literally.

The Exo swung open the door to the bar and walked inside. Heads of some patrons turned his way, checking out who was making noise. Caber didn't really recognise anybody who was present in the bar at the time. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad about it. "Well well. Look who the cats dragged in." The bartender grinned at the new arrival, as Caber made his way over to the surprisingly nearly empty counter. "The pleasure, as always, is mine." The Exo would reply with a grin of his own as he gave little playful bow towards the bartender. There was only one person seated at the counter and while Caber didn't exactly plan it, he ended up sitting on the stool next to the stranger.

"Got any stories to tell? You've been gone for a little bit." The bartender asked as he fetched a bottle of strange, green liquid and a glass. "Sure do." Caber would reply and mischievously wink. "You may want to hold onto something, though. They are quite spicy." He would add as the bartender set the bottle and glass in front of him. "You know me so well." The Exo would softly sigh as he poured some of the green liquid into the glass and bartender chuckled.

Caber took a sip of the green liquid, when he heard the stranger next to him speak up. Something about 'not being interested'. With gloved hand he would put down the glass he held and slightly turn to the side, to take a better look at them. A rather strapping young fellow, but age meant very little to the Exo. "Now now." He would chuckle. "Don't knock it, 'till you try it. Or.. hear it, in this case." Caber would add with a little nod of his head. The bartender would nod aswell. "Besides..." Caber would behind with an as amused of an expression on his face as an Exo could muster. "With that sourpuss attitude you are going to grow an ulcer someday, you know." The hooded Exo would chuckle once more.

The bartender would turn towards the patron sitting next to Caber. "Please, bear with him. If only for just once story. He doesn't come by too often." He would request with a smile on his face. "Tell you what. I'll even throw in an extra drink on the house." The bartender would offer. "See? You'll even get freebies!" Caber would exclaim. "I wish I got freebies." He would mutter under his non-existent breath and finish off the rest of the liquid in his glass.
