Victor shook his read in disbelief at the patrons ranting about bumps in the night. “A man keeps certain company, and automatically people assume things about him.”  Victor spoke this within hearing of the four drunks with over active imaginations. “What is this world coming to,Lucius? A man can’t have a flamer for a friend without people making accusations.”<br/><br/>The food was dropped with enough force to cause some to splatter on Victor’s sleeve. He eyed the barmaid as he raised his arm  and licked a piece from the fabric. “Mmm...delicious.  With service like this I may be staying a long while,” The words sounded much like a threat.<br/><br/>((FYI. I will be a little scarce this weekend. )
