the wine of friendship

"You wouldn't actually want me there anyway. It'd take me three years to read any of the books and when I'm out on a trip, I'm busy kicking ass, not taking notes." Adam's understanding of the Loreseeker's guild was basically 'nerds that like to go on field trips to focus on boring details', which had never been his style. He snorted at Jigano's mockery of his old Navy 'friend'. He'd never really understood the fascination with sexual positions the higher ups had, the insistence that gay sex was bad, but not that bad as long as you were on top and it was secret and also you hated it really...it was all a bit exhausting. He'd just manipulated the way of things to make money out of it, then left it be. "Well. The rumour, just before I came here...is he got off with a pirate. I wish I'd stuck around long enough to know how that turned out." Jigano's response to his nickname for Peter took him a moment to understand, and even then he responded to it with a bemused smile. "Uhhh...no? It's just short for Peter. If he wanted to call me 'Ad' to be even, he could, though it'd be kinda weird. He's...my boyfriend. Coffee is my pet." The dragon lifted up his head with an offended glint in his eyes and Adam laughed, fondly shaking his head. He listened to Jigano's description of his mother as he took a drink. "Oh. That's rough...uh..." For a moment he paused, kicking his boots against the ground and wondering if he knew Jigano well enough to ask any more questions. Maybe he didn't, but he was getting to be tipsy enough to not care. "Oracle of Life, though..sounds fancy. How come it didn't come down to you?" A D A M Do you wanna dance? Do you wanna fight? Do you wanna get drunk and stay the night?
