*Shuvah opened wide eyes when she saw the young kitsune coming back to the table with a mug of... Alcohol?!*
`"Wait! I thought you didn't drink, Miyaro?!"` *She loudly asked.* `"A-anyway..."`
*She then came to the blind girl's rescue, using her claws to push a knife and a wooden spoon toward her. The rudimentary cutlery would have make enough noise by scraping on the table so that Ellaine would have been able to hear and locate them. The knife was made of a rusty steel and a leather handle.*
`"Here, Ellaine. There are a sspoon and a knife, be careful to not cut your fingerss!"` *She gently informed, hoping this would help her losing her stress.*
*She then pushed the beef container toward her the same way, so she could get some meat too.*
`"The ssoup already iss right before you, honey. Enjoy!"`
*The reptilian lady then faced the maskless elf. She observed his revealed face and noticed his stubble which indicated that he probably was a Steppe Elf.*
`"Dissappointed? Naaah."` *She declined.* `"Sso, how'ss your mug? Finished yet? Becausse I'm about to order another round!"` *She purposely teased.*
*She would have waited only a few seconds for an answer before leaving the table to order again.*
Suzanne
"T-Thank you ve-very much Shuvah... I'm s-sorry you gotta do this... For me" *Ellaine would say to the dragon lady as her hand would be placed on the table grasping about around the area she heard the utensils moved in order to get it. As soon as he felt the spoon she'd use the object to allow her to more easily locate the bowl. Once she found it though she would eat normally, if you were just watching the way she ate she didn't seem like she was having difficulty eating aside from being able to actually find the food around there. In all honesty she kinda felt sad and like she was just dead weight in the group needing to be helped to do basic things and not even being able to contribute anything to the conversation at all. Ugh why was she so pathetic*
Mary
*Horace would watch Miyaro as she got up from her seat and approached the bar, ordering ale.*
"That's quite unexpected... It seems you ladies keep subverting my expectations tonight."
*He chuckles slightly as Miyaro took a seat at her spot on the table, turning his attention to Juna. He would nod to her question, as if saying yes. Meanwhile, under the table, Eco would softly look at Jace. She would stand, quickly turning and approaching Horace's legs, sitting in between them. That appeared to be her temporary castle, though Horace would pay no mind to her setting up a camp under him. Horace would finally look towards the lizard lady who was helping the blind lady. "Quite a charitable person i see?" He'd think as she stood up and approach the bar*
"People like her are so weird... I wonder what goes through their heads day to day?"
Rachel
"Hey! I'm old enough to drink." *She pouted and took another drink, feeling a bit more dizzy.* "I'm not a little kid. I can handle this." *She said swaying a bit, her ears down. Her face red from the drink.* "Phew. I'm fine, I promise. I'm not drunk."
Trena
*She looks between Horace and Miyaro, chuckling a little. Miyaro's reaction to the drink was the very reason why she would never have one herself. She had always been kept away from it and she wasn't tempted to try it anytime soon. 
 Down below, Jace narrowed his eyes at Eco. She was testing him and he wasn't about to let her lay claim to any area below the table. He was there first, therefore making it his. Jace approached the fox, his fur bristling in frustration of her taking a spot near a potential food bearer. 
 Juna came to rest her head on her hand, allowing her elbow to rest sturdily on the table.*
"Well it's not too fair to judge her for it... She seems pretty nice..."
*Juna said this in response to what Horace said about Shuvah, deciding to defend her for the moment, even if she could be a bit overwhelming for Juna.*
Ruby
```Shuvah spent 2 Silver for beverages```
*The dragoness came back with the second round. She curtly put down a mug close to Horace, which splashed a bit on the table, then sat on her stool, which creaked a bit due to Shuvah's haste and weight. She winked at the elf while toasting again, her mouth displaying a teasing grin.*
`"Are you ready for round two?"`
*She then took a good sip before catching her breath and speaking again. What a chatterbox! Or was it the alcohol which was starting to take effect?*
`"What were you talking about? I couldn't hear from the counter with all thiss noisse."`
Suzanne
*She could hear very clearly from where she sat that the group or atleast most of the group was now drinking and having fun with whatever they were doing. It kinda just made her feel worse as she now felt left out and angry at herself for not being able to take alcohol. She knew that she hated the taste of alcohol whenever she took a sip she would immediately just spit it out, she didn't want to show that side of her to them! And she couldn't possibly start a conversation with them! This whole thing was just a horrible idea but its not like she could've turned down their offer. They were such nice people, its better to just wait the whole thing out not say anything and just eat since it was a free meal after all. Ellaine would just continue quietly eating her soup*
Mary
*Horace would look at Miyaro with a grin, "Well at least one good thing will come of tonight. It seems little miss kitsune over there has gotten drunk. Ill have to make sure to pickpocket her when i get the chance...". The elf would look down at the angry animal with a look of discomfort and anger. He would look back up at Juna, saying in an aggressive tone.*
"Hey, mind controlling your pet? He seems to be acting a little too aggressive towards Eco, and i don't like that. So if you don't mind, i would appreciate you keeping a hold on him. Because if you don't i might have to do something no one will like."
*After he finished speaking he would lay his dagger on the table resting his hand on it. This would create an ominous and threatening atmosphere around him, maybe catching Shuvah off guard as she had just arrived back at the table.*
Rachel
"This beer is weak. I don't feel anything." *She stood up swaying from side to side trying to hold her mug of ale. She tries to hold on to her chair to keep her from falling.* "I'm not drunk. I swear, I feel great." *She says while leaning on her chair to keep her balance. She puts down the mug of ale and tries to sit down. Her tail swaying from side to side.* "Phew."
Trena
*She looked at Horace with a mixture of confusion and disbelief. Juna had just now made herself comfortable and all of a sudden Horace had pulled out a weapon. For a moment she didn't move or say anything, staring deathly at the dagger on the table. Her other hand that had been resting on the chair she was sitting on, slowly moved to the area where she kept her own well hidden dagger, fastened to her waist. She didn't expect things to change so aggressively, so quickly especially since she had no idea what was going on beneath the table. Was this what the Macen had warned her of about the people here? How quickly they could turn on her for no reason whatsoever? For a while she didn't even realize what Horace had asked of her, too focused on the blade that had left a sickening feeling in the pit of her stomach. 

 Her gaze swept down towards the ground, her vision of what was happening mostly blocked by the table. Harshly, she whispered down to Jace:*
"Jace, leave Eco alone-"
*Jace ears turned sightly, notifying that he had heard Juna though he wasn't too willing to give up his space beneath the table. He had taken a few steps back, keeping to the center of the table. His fur remained raised and he made no noise, but he kept his gaze on Eco as if daring her to take a step further into his kingdom. 

 Juna couldn't reach him from where she sat and she didn't want to have to take her full gaze away from Horace to reach for Jace beneath the table with the dagger still present. Instead, she kept still hoping Jace would listen and keep to himself at the very least.*
Ruby
*Whatever happened during Shuvah's brief absence quickly escaladated. Was Horace serious about his threat?*
*The reptilian nearly finished her second ale before the thief put his dagger on the table. While Juna seemed to be frightened and clearly intimidated, Shuvah... Started to give in to the alcohol. She was surprisingly not very enduring for someone of her size.*
`"Oh wow! That'ss a nicce little knife you got there, Horaaaacccce! Where did you get it? A gift from the bartender???"` *She naively asked. She wasn't realizing that it was a true weapon.*
*She wasn't shaky yet, but to others, she could feel a bit brainless. As she saw the kitsune fooling around on her stool, she wanted to do the same.*
`"Oh Godss! I wanna do that too! You're so nimble, Miyaroooo!"` *She joyfully exclaimed. She pursued with a disppointed tone.* `"But I can't do that, I would break the sstool..."`
*Now she had a sad face. Nobody really knew what was in her head at this moment, but she suddenly wanted to cry.*
`"Why can't I have fun like maccenss, or kitssuness, or elvess? This is sso unfair!"`
*The dragoness would then have jumped right into Horace's arms if he had good reflexes or would have just bumped into him if he wouldn't have reacted fast enough... Or she would have fallen to the ground if he happened to dodge her.*
Mary
*The elf would watch Miyaro's clumsy nature, still resting his hand on his dagger. "How could someone act like that despite this situation...? I get she's drunk but..." The kitsunes actions clearly baffled Horace, but he would soon move on from her and back to Juna. He would watch her, waiting for what actions she would take here. At the sounds of her command to Jace, he would look under the table, keeping a firm grasp on his blade now. He would watch as the jackal moved back to the middle of the table, as such Horace would sigh, and move his dagger from the table back to his sheath. Eco, would lay on the floor with a yawn, seemingly unfazed by Jace's stares. She looked comfortable under Horace, as if she felt safe.*
"Thank you... That'll do. Sorry about that, its just I've had Eco for so long, if something were to happen to her i don't know what I'd do... She's the one whos kept me sane all these years, y'know?"
*He would pick up Eco from under him as he spoke, petting her with a warm sensation, different than how he had acted before. Eco, in response would lick his hands gently. He'd soon turn his attention to the dragoness as she spoke, her drunken breath informing Horace she was no longer sober.*
"No.. This is my own knife.."
*He would watch her for a bit as she proclaimed the injustice of not being able to do as the smaller people do. He found this quite funny, though he would soon panic as she lunged into him. Eco would jump out of his arms, gracefully avoiding Shuvah and landing on the table, managing not to knock over any plates, bowls, or cups in her haste. As for Horace, he would attempt to catch her as she looked like she was about to cry. He didn't know what was happening or what to do, instead letting Shuvah do as she pleased only muttering in his confusion.*
"What are you doing...? Shuvah, this isn't very appropriate..."
Rachel
"I am very nimble Shuvah, since I'm a kitsune I can jump 3ft high." *She bragged and took another sip of her mug. Judging by the expression on her face she seems to be even more drunk.* "This beer is really good. Heheh." *She said swaying around her stool trying to hold on to the table to gain balance.* "Woah. I should really stop drinking, huh." *She said and rested on her elbows. Closing her eyes on the table, feeling sleepy and yawns.*
Trena
*Juna sat frozen at Horace's sudden change of attitude. Even though in any other circumstance she could have understood the reason for the threat, Juna wasn't able to look past the fact that for a split moment he was threatening to shank her. Or was he going to go for Jace, considering the Jackal was closer? Neither sounded better than the other and it left Juna debatably unable to respond to him. 
 
 Around her it seemed like most of the others were losing their sense to drunkness, leaving Juna in a midst of confusion. Her hand kept to the blade, silently moving her fingers back and forth along as if she had to make sure it was still there in case something started. She was shaking in nervousness, though she tried her best to hide it. 

 Down below, Jace had let out a huff of triumph. Finally he had managed to defend his kingdom of one and, proudly, he raised his head in a kingly manner as his fur lowered back down. Juna took a moment and called down to Jace in barely more than a whisper. Her voice stammered a little, but Jace quickly turned to her got up to walk over. He had gotten what he wanted and in excitement, he was wagging his tail back and forth, too proud of what he did. 

 Seeing Jace approach, Juna pat her lap with her other hand and Jace quickly hopped up on it. Though, the position he was sitting in, made him nearly look taller than Juna, she didn't show much care to it and hugged him close for comfort.*
Ruby
*The words of the elf still had an effect on the uncompletely drunk reptilian. She shaked herself, momentarily escaping her drunkenness, and quickly withdrew from Horace's arms. She stammered in confusion.*
`"I-I don't know, elf! I-I think I'm a bit drunk..."`
*Truer words were never spoken from her mouth. Her already crimson cheeks turned even more more red from her awkwardness and from the alcohol. She lowered her glance on the table as she was feeling really stupid.*
`"I have trouble controlling my feelingss when I'm drunk... I-It'ss jusst that... I am happy right now. I don't remember the lasst time I toassted with other people..."` *She explained in a sad mutter.*
*Even if she wasn't crying, this explanation was quite a revelation, her who was always so cheerful and eager to go further. But everyone has his/her moments, especially when the bearable alcohol threshold has been exceeded.*
Suzanne
"M-Miss Shuvah uhh its okay to express your umm f-feelings to us and its good that we're all umm doing such fun things like eating a-and drinking right?" *She said to Shuvah shyly as she had her head down towards the ground. She didn't want to say to Shuvah that she didn't really enjoy the whole thing all that much since she couldn't join in the conversations or drink and have fun like them but she wanted to comfort the nice dragon lady*
Mary
*The elf would understandable nod to her recession from his arms. This has never happened to him so he was still a bit caught off guard.*
"Well, maybe you should avoid and ale for the rest of the night. You could make some bad choices."
*He would return his mask to his face, as he seemed to be done eating and drinking for the night. He would leave the second beer the dragoness had left him on the table since he didn't want to end up like her. He would get up, stretching a little.* 
"Well, it's pretty late now. It was fun to talk and hang out with you guys, even if it did get a little tense toward the end."
*He'd look at Juna as he said the last part. He seemed apologetic about it, but wasn't gonna go out of his way.*
"Anyways, I'll be getting a room for the night here, maybe I'll see one of you in the morning. Who knows?"
*And with that said, he would approch the the bartender and ask for a key, though they initially refused him he did mention he payed for the room when he payed for the food. When he received the key from the reluctant bartender he would wave to the others. Moving up stairs and out of sight, the other would hear a door open and close, signaling Horace's leave.*
Rachel
"Alrighty, see ya Horace." *She stood up straight and waved. She would look into her mug of ale and drink all of it.* "I think I'll be getting a room to since I'm way too drunk to go anywhere." *She stood up trying to walk straight and walked towards the bartender and asked for a key. She would pay the bartender and tried to walk straight trying to grab anything to keep her balance. She would look back waving to them.* "Thanks for the drinks, Shuvah!" *She said, her tail swishing from side to side. She would try to walk up the stairs holding the handle and trying to keep her balance as she swayed from side to side. As she finally reached the top she went to her room and closed the door. Ready to sleep.*
Trena
*She watched the two of them leave, at first not saying a word. Juna waited for them to get out of full view before she finally said a quiet:*
"Goodnight..."
*She lets out a breath, removing her hand from the dagger and instead using it to pet Jace atop his head. In response, he happily licked her arm and Juna finally decided to relax a little bit. Letting out a sigh, she says:*
"Oh Jace... Why do you have to be so stubborn sometimes..."
*Jace didn't answer back of course, taking the time to make himself more comfortable on her lap instead. Juna looked at the other two who remained at the table. She herself couldn't really imagine going to sleep easily after the moment, but she figured that they would eventually take their leave too.*
Ruby
*Shuvah waved at the leavers without saying a word, doing little more than grinning heavily since she nonetheless really enjoyed the time spent together.*
*She then adressed to the two remainers. While she surely wasn't sober, she retrieved a part of her usual calm and self-control.*
`"Elf issn't wrong, it iss getting late for young ladiess like you. Do you have any place to ssleep?"` *She gently asked.*
*Even drunk, the wyvern was still caring for others. She rested her heavy head on her elbows, sometimes closing her eyes as a mean to delay the inevitable upcoming headache. Fortunately for her, the inn -which used to be full of noises and life a few hours ago- became far more quieter as a lot of people already left.*
*She made an effort to speak again.*
`"If... If you need to go home, I could... Esscort you..."`
*She rubbled her temples while waiting for the girls to answer.*
Suzanne
"Oh my goodness!!! Is it already night time?!? Oh no how am I going to be able to get home? And what am I going to tell the orphanage? Oh no oh no oh no they must be worried sick about me!" *She shouted out to Tana as her whole entire body was just filled with anger, terror and worry. Her stutter left her as she quickly tried to stand up raking her cane with her. She was now panicking as she didn't know what to do. Who was going to take her all over to New Salvania at this time of the night, looks like she stayed eating far too long! She even told the children that she was going to be home some time this night*
Trena
*She stared at Shuvah when she had asked the question, probably the longest Juna had looked at someone directly. Juna didn't really have an answer for Shuvah's question. It was pretty simple: she didn't really have a home to go back to, it being a several days' journey away, so she simply slept wherever she could. 

 She didn't really want to explain it to Shuvah after seeing her drunk and now watching Ellaine panic over how she was going to get home after Shuvah had offered to help. Her ears lowered on her head, showing her discomfort for how what was once a calm, light hearted environment had quickly turned into an aggressive, stressful one. 

 Deciding to not simply ignore the question, Juna quietly said:*
"I... Don't really have a place to sleep at... I kind of... Just make the most of wherever I'm at..."
*She hoped that was a good enough answer. In all honestly, Juna was wondering what would happen if she had decided to fall asleep right there at the table. Sure she could probably purchase a room at the inn, but after the unsuccessful hunt in the destroyed forest she figured she best spend the silver she had wisely.*
