I didn't mean to insult you with allegations that you were tolerable, Javert.
[ He attributed present company with no cajolery- they were simply Company. Neither good nor ill. Amon waved down the bartender then drank in silence before he and Javert volleyed more sideways remarks with poor Haytham stuck in the middle refereeing. He tilted his mask further up to take a long pull of what was left in his glass then slamming it down with a certain finality. ]
Hanging her guests on rakes and having them at the mercy of a lash would almost be preferable to the advice she offers. At the very least it would make her more predictable as far as crazed sovereigns go.
[ He was interrupted when the bartender came at last, and after some heated bargain their server left- leaving a bottle of honey whiskey and three glasses. When he spoke again at last his voice had all the passion of someone reciting their grocery list. ]
Ha! She could have tried, but no. Oh, I'm dead, and have been for awhile according to the Emperor. I killed myself in a fit of pique right out on the water along with my brother. He was kind enough to deliver the explosive end, but that's beside the point.
[ Without a hint of being affected, Amon divvied out the glasses between the three of them. ]
The legality of hoarding alcohol rations never crossed my mind to be honest. I never touched the stuff but thought it would be wasteful to discard them. By all means help yourselves.
