<strong>Daniel Vanderholt - At The Bar - Drinking In The Sights</strong><br/><br/>Daniel whispered back to Selena, "But who could resist my boyish and energetic good intentions?"  Daniel made an act of sighing, "I suppose you're right though, it would be shame to ruin our fun by making the Doctor to do something he is unwilling to do."  While Daniel was a man of many appetites, he had discovered that the rest of the world did not share his libertine ways.  He supposed it had something to do with their innate natures, but there was little one could do to change that.  Which unfortunately meant that some peaks could only be admired from afar and not be personally explored.<br/><br/>He laughed in mirth as Doctor Bahl talked about his "Crotch Cannon," "My friend, so willing to personally test out your creations.  No doubt you are braver than I to do something like that, and even more sore.  Perhaps, Selena here can help you relieve some of the pain, no?"  Daniel paused to think for a moment before speaking, "Have you considered any alternatives to conventional firearms for arming your development?  Something with a little less kick, like say an aerosolized dispenser or perhaps an collapsible crossbow?  I do believe that out in the Orient, they have made strides in the latter."  He then gestured for the bartender, "If he's paying then I'll have a whisky neat, and a glass of hot milk on the side."  Daniel looked at the others, "A quirk of mine, in all my travels' a good glass of milk is always hard to find when I'm not in the civilized parts of the world"<br/><br/>As the bartender went to fetch their drinks, Daniel looked around at the others around the bar while keeping an ear on Selena and Mephiston's talk.  It seemed to be a lively enough place...<em>And look who we have here...</em>He spotted a familiar person in the form of old Max.  Daniel had wondered what had happened to him after those trials with Bloom.  What the doctor had been up to didn't particularly interest him, Daniel was only engaged to provide some rare salves and serums in return for a substantial payment.  After it was done, Daniel had preoccupied himself with other works putting Max aside in his mind.  But by the looks of it, Max looked healthier than Daniel saw him last but curiously Max seemed to be pointedly ignoring him before leaving the bar proper.  He shrugged, there would be plenty of time later for reunions after a little time with Selena and Bahl.<br/><br/>He turned back and tuned himself back into the conversation, "Bahl, I never figured you for being such a generous soul.  I do believe we may need a bigger room for all the pleasant company that you're inviting."<br/><br/>
