Her words came were sour yet her voice was sweet, there was no malice to her tone, but the words she spoke held a sort of venom to them that made her more deadly then a rattlesnake. Perhaps she was a rattlesnake, deadly with just a short warning before it strikes. She had given plenty of warning, but he rolled back to the main premise, this did not seem intentional. The fact that she was keeping pace with him and not trying to just leave him in the dust was an indicator.<br/><br/>He decided to let things slide without a direct reaction in the heat of the moment, and it was probably for the best, then she asked the million dollar question, and sadly he didn't have a good answer. "I don't know, I always drink on the boat, just go to one of the markets with a sale and buy beer, go back to the boat, drink up. I tried the crowd thing once, people recognized me back then, it was a pain in the ass having mooches wanting me to buy them drinks. If it was just autographs or some idle chit chat I would have been happy, hell sex would have been good, but they just wanted to relive my glory with free shots, beers, or whatever else they were drinking. Of course I think the days of being recognized are over, at least to an extent, but I am sure you are from these parts, why don't you pick somewhere with some beers, and we can go there."<br/><br/>They exited the building with no more Roger sightings, probably for the best, but in some small way Mark hoped that Claire was going to repay him for the favor. Just letting 2 people have free reign of the stadium didn't seem like an easy thing to pull off, and if someone got pissed that poor Roger fellow would take some heat.<br/><br/>"In terms of the leg, I self medicate with beer, I ain't a pill popper like doctor House," he wasn't sure if she would get the reference, and he was surprised he even remembered the show since he didn't have television to watch anything, no smart phone, he literally had cut himself off from the outside world except when he went out to get beer and groceries. "I gave up on physical therapy when I wasn't seeing any results, besides therapists are just rapists anyways, it is in their title therapists literally breaks down into the rapists, and in this case they just rape your money from your pockets."<br/><br/>He was going to be a tough nut to crack, but in the end that was the pessimistic view Mark saw the world with now, and as long as she held up to her end of the bargain he wouldn't get too hostile with her, at least not as hostile as he had been when she first showed up on his boat.
