[Mini Event] Drinking games

NOAH

set a fire for tomorrow
set it to your woes

Noah, so unassuming and usually caught up in his own goings-on, was oblivious to the planned games ahead. He had been told, but in the swirl of his own thoughts and concerns, it was lost on him. His intentions for going to the Kraai were to get out of his house, even though the trek to the bar was so damn cold, and to take Weaver up on the free drinks she offered him for helping her bring in luxere for her quest to Ludo. As he stepped through the doors, preparing himself for being inside rather than out, and made his way to the bar, he was not surprised to see that quite a few had gathered here. It was much better than the other bar they had, where he and Weaver and other Halovians had gathered for so many years. Fortunately, that bar still held the old, grumpy folk. The Kraai was warm and inviting and fun, and grumpy old men did not want any part of that.

Striding over to the bar, Noah made sure to let his face relax as well as his shoulders. He did not need to bring his problems here, especially in the presence of so many people. He finally stopped, near Loren, and took a seat on a stool. He nodded to the healer, and to Weaver, as a smile curled up his lips and wrinkled his face some. The last time he had smiled had been in the presence of these people. Left to his house, and Delphine, his face had rested as icy cold as the icicles that formed on the corners of his house everyday that needed to be knocked down. As he leaned forward, elbows resting on the bar, he looked at the array of options Weaver had for consumption. "Whatever we do, I want to be drinking your best." He gave her a small wink, and a small chuckle even followed.

feel defiance burning through my teeth
it's not enough to drag this blade across the day
