Mevis would look at Hitoshi expecting him to continue the story. Seeing no follow up, Mevis decides to help carry the conversation out by asking himself
Rose
"Willing to tell me how it happened? You know, just as something to help pass the time"
David
*Hitoshi smiles and tries to remember what happened, tapping his finger against the table.*
Patricia
"Okay... It was about 2 weeks away. I see this wine. On sale. The... The seller was a ant-person. And they annoyed me into buying it. And sellers do that always. But this ant followed me for 3 hours. And they kept giving me a more and more small price. He kept adding little things. I think he said he would give me a ball of string as a extra gift. Thinking I am a cat. And I buy it, because I am stupid, and I want him to leave me alone. And it was awful. I think he was making it himself with some... Really bad brewery tools. **Really** Bad. It was so bad, I nearly, uhh... You know. I think I spilled it in some grass somewhere. I probably poisoned nature, doing that. When the forest dies, blame the wine."
David
*Hitoshi tells this little tale with a face that can only be described as... Acceptance of his own idiocy. A sort of dumb grin that revels in its own stupidity.*
Brian
Mevis can't help but a chuckle a bit at Hitoshi's finishing remark though wouldn't be surprised as alcohol of any kind is sort of like a poison. That being said, upon hearing Hitoshi finish his story It just occured to Mevis how broken his speech was. Sure Mevis was still able to understand him and considering Hitoshi likely taught himself that was impressive in it of itself. But Mevis was worried about Hitoshi's future prospects as a hero. He wouldn't be able to make heroic speeches if the audience barely understood him. Maybe he could help him? No, it would likely only come off as rude... But maybe he can 'trick' Hitoshi into learning?
Rose
"That's pretty funny. Maybe the guild might have a quest for us to clear up a poisoned forest one of these days. Heroes from across the land would have to come over to clean up your spilled drink. Heh. Though I wouldn't mind meeting more real heroes. People who do those sort of dangerous things and make the world a better place. Have you ever met a hero like that?"
Patricia
"No... Not really."
David
*Hitoshi squirms in his seat for a bit, trying to find a more comfortable way to sit. He settles with crossing his legs on the actual seat, putting his hands on his knees. He doesn't know that Mevis is trying to get a chance to read something to him. As far as Hitoshi is concerned right now, Mevis is just continuing the conversation.*
Rose
"Ah... Well I don't either really. But I've read about them in books. I work as a librarian when I'm not out trying to do jobs for New Sunlight. They've got all sort of great tales and when I read them I can't help but feel a bit relieved that there was and is someone like that out there in the world right now protecting strangers like us in their own way. That there are people who care about you without expecting anything in return. These stories, they helped me when I was at my lowest point. They gave me something to grasp onto. As I said earlier, nothing we do can make up our past mistakes, but I feel like trying to be a hero like those I've read about is much better than wallowing in my despair. I would love to read them to you as they are my passion. Perhaps if you also enjoy them I can finally have a reading buddy"
David
*Sure, why not? While Hitoshi is unaware of Mevis's little plan, he **Is** Aware that he needs to work on his Silnari Standard, and sees this as a good chance to try it out. It would also give him something else to do. A bit of hope. Hitoshi needed that sometimes. Or more like a lot. 

He begins to unfold his legs again and cough again, covering his mouth with the mask that he normally wears around his neck like a scarf. He then fiddles with his gauntlets, realises that it's a bit unnerving to be wearing gauntlets with blades attached to the side at a tavern, and finally takes them off.*
Patricia
"Sure. Sounds good... I want to show something off, but... Maybe later."
Brian
Mevis would mentality praise himself for his plan. Looks like he would be able to help Hitoshi learn the native tongue after all. Though he wasn't lying about wanting a reading buddy also. Maybe he could have both? 
Mavis then raise his eyebrows with interest at Hitoshi's remark. Show off? Mevis never really had the confidence to want to show off, so he couldn't help but admire that aspect of Hitoshi. Seemed like he was pretty confident in something, and while Mevis doesn't like to pry, he couldn't help but be curious.
Rose
"Show off you say? I mean, we're still waiting for the food to come so I wouldn't mind seeing it. That is, of course, if you're comfortable doing it here..."
David
*Hitoshi tries asking for dice from various people. When he does get some, he sits back at the table, a cheeky smile on his face.*
Patricia
"Choose a number. One to six."
Brian
A dice? Was he doing a math trick? Mevis recalled having some fun with them back whe- Nevermind. A number 1-6. Mevis always felt 4 was a lucky number for him but also a cursed one, so may as well go with that.
David
*Hitoshi rolls the dice, in an odd way. Where most people throw the dice, he doesn't so much throw it as he does twist his wrist and allow the dice to fall out of his hands. It lands on a 4.*
Brian
Mevis would look at the dice, then back at Hitoshi, then back the dice. Mevis would try his best to hide his smile. This is what he wanted to show off? Mevis had seen Hitoshi basically disappear in plain sight, defeat enemies stronger than him with his various techniques, one of them being able to summon shadow daggers out of nothing, had self taught himself the native tongue to a certain extent, and out of all of those skills this was the one he was proud of?
 Mevis couldn't help but think of innocent how minded Hitoshi was. Was it because Mevis still looked like a kid? Granted he had only recently became an 'adult'. That might be the most logical explanation. After all a few years back Mevis was doing something similar with... Anyhow Mevis didn't wish to deprive Hitoshi of his moment so he would think about how *They* Looked, how *Their* Faces looked when he performed such tricks and try to replicate it, raising his eyebrows in 'surprise'
Rose
"Wow! To think you would get my number on the first roll! Well let's see if you can go 2 for 2, I call 4 again!"
David
*Hitoshi realises that Mevis wasn't very impressed. Yeah, one dice wasn't enough to show what was going on, was it?

He rolls a 4, and then adds 2 other dice to the hand. Yeah, Hitoshi does realise that one die isn't very impressive. Three dice, though...*
Patricia
"Give one number, or three."
Brian
Mevis couldn't help but feel that he had failed at acting. He hoped he hadn't hurt Hitoshi's feelings. Sure he wasn't impressed, but he was still enjoying the tricks. A bit of childish fun is always welcomed. Seeing Hitoshi get more dice he decides to play along. Getting 4 3 more times would be a fun sight to see.
Rose
"All 4's. Go 4 for 4. Heh, I like the sound of that"
David
*Hitoshi does just that, rolling three fours. 

Sure, it was just a small little trick, nothing fancy, but Hitoshi was oddly enthused with it. Sure, he has all of his combat magic, but this stupid little trick has earned him a ridiculous amount of money before. 20 gold, to be exact. It was through hustling another criminal, back when Hitoshi was only 17 or 18.

He still remembers purposefully fucking up a roll or two, only to hustle the man to the point where Hitoshi nearly got into a knife fight. It was worth it, though. He got the money.*
Patricia
"...I see now that it is more interesting for me than for you, but I, uhh... Made lots of money with that trick. I would do a bad roll, get them excited, and then "Randomly" Get good rolls."

"I paid for my Naginata enchantments by doing that. True story."
Brian
Mevis would be surprised when he said he earned enough money via gambling in such a way, but also be saddened that Hitoshi thought Mevis wasn't interested in this. He was, but just not surprised. Hitoshi to Mevis was a far more skilled and someone who he looked up to. He had to clear up this misunderstanding.
Rose
"Oh, I'm sorry if you think I'm not interested. I honestly enjoy small games like this. Just, I had complete confidence that you would do it cus, you know, you're so skilled. Hell, if I said roll a 7 and you did I wouldn't be that surprised. I really did enjoy the show. I'm very impressed that with that skill you were able to buy weapon enchantments, and I understand having pride in small skills like that. I too have a hobby... Had a hobby of preforming magic tricks for... People. I would love to do it but being a hero meant I couldn't afford wasting time on silly games..."
Patricia
"That's a shame. You should show me one sometime. Maybe. Have to take a break, right?"
Brian
Mevis eyes would look sad for a moment before shaking his head side to side slowly
Rose
"I lost my gear to perform a while back anyway. But it's alright, I can enjoy myself via reading books and spending time with friends like you. That being said, spending time with you would be more fun if we could finally get our meals..."
Brian
Just as Mevis says the waitress returns with two plates with massive beef piece on a bone on each of them along with 2 mugs filled with a pristine orange bubbly liquid that gives of a sweet apple scent. 
"Hope you two didn't wait too long. Enjoy your meal! If you need anything else just call me over!" She would then bow her head and walk over to another table and take their order

Mevis would look at this meal with delight. It had been so long since he had meat, and good meat at that. And to have cider along with it, it may not have been a feast, but it sure felt like it to Mevis. Perhaps having a lighter pocket after this was worthwhile after all. He would indulge himself into the meal, savoring every bite.
