<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Fantastic! Lead the way, Adrian!â?</span>Nao happily cheered.<br/><br/>Johnathan just sighed at yet another name change and motioned for them to follow him. He moved to walk down the stairs to the right towards the lower deck, with the scrapes of the young masterâ??s feet following him.<br/><br/>As Nao walked further down the decks â?? half assuming that Itsuki would be following â?? he took in note of the shadows that seemed to envelop them. He narrowed his eyes at the blank wall, nearly glaring at the blackness that inked across the solid wood.<b>â??Sire, you should be nicer to him.â?</b>the squire spoke up, as if knowing what he was thinking. The blonde male didnâ??t respond at first, only allowing his eyes to roll.<br/><br/>And roll.<br/><br/>And roll.<br/><br/>And roll.<br/><br/>Then he got dizzy, so he decided to stop rolling his eyes.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Heâ??ll be fine. Wonâ??t he? See? He nodded!â?</span>Nao confirmed, despite â??heâ?? not responding in any way or form.<br/><br/>Once they reached the mess hall, he flung himself at one of the chairs and landed half on the table and half on the wooden chair.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Food time!â?</span>the food had already been laid out, dished up for three people to dine. Nothing amazing, just simple soup and meats for their dinner on a ship.<br/><br/>Nao reached for the whiskey first and took a healthy gulp before he readily stuffed anything his hand touched into his mouth. The second gulp of booze came when he accidentally ate something that was probably not edible but will be digested later anyways.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#8080ff">â??Nothing hits the spot like a little sip before dinner~.â?</span>he happily declared, waiting until Itsuki sat before he offered her a bottle of her own. It wasnâ??t polite to drink without offering some to his guest, after all.
