Perhaps if Demosthenes hadn't been so blisteringly drunk, he would have been able to discern quite precisely that instead of free drinks, the Warden was proposing a hot dinner.  At this time (and Demosthenes was the first to admit that he didn't know what time it was), Demosthenes felt it was too soon for dinner.  He was hungry, that's for sure.  But he wasn't ready to eat.  Generally, he preferred to eat once he sobered up.  Better bang for your coin if it all stays in your stomach, he felt.  Secondly, his vision was impaired, and though only one person approached the bar, he saw a few.  Don't ask him to count them, though.  Before he could say something that was drunkenly charming, he noticed that the Warden and his companions had left.<br/><br/>"Charming fellow," he said to the bartender.  Then, he heaved his body up and walked to the Warden's table.  He didn't seem drunk, that was good.  Presentation was key.  It was then at this point that he was greeted by the Aes Senai.  He laughed at her comment, boorishly but with good nature.   "It's getting a lot of peace all right."   He was going to regret being drunk in front of an Aes Senai.<br/><br/>"No I do not mind if you ask my name," Demosthenes said proudly in response to a query laid to him by...  someone.  Feeling as if he answered that question to the utmost of his power, he then continued.   "It is true.  I am fairly large to be a simple beggar.  But you see, I have a secret.  It is an absolutely terrible one, especially if you're a beggar and you happen to have it.  A secret like mine.  You see, I'm a<em>complex</em>beggar, and not a simple one.  It is truly devastating to my career as a beggar to be in possession of such an adjective!  Woe, sadness, horror, terror?, poverty!  That is my life.  Now, ahem, will this complimentary dinner also have liquor?  For you will find that though I am complex, I have not lost that special quality that all journeymen beggars have in common."<br/><br/>"Can you imagine how little coin one manages to scrounge up if one says that he or she is a complex beggar?  Madam, that's a field tested guarantee from this complex beggar that the more pious you seem, the more people shall take sympathy."
