[SRP] A Night to Remember

[WyvernSlayer]

Satsume was desperate for anything to keep his conversation from flying off the rails. The fact that his conversation with the woman in front of him was interrupted by the sound of a very familiar voice behind him made Satsume’s gut wrench a little bit. Oh no…

“Satsu! Funny seeing you here. One day you're heroically protecting a village from bandits, the next slamming down drinks in a pub.”

Satsume rolled his eyes a little and flashed a smile to the woman in front of him, to excuse himself briefly from their conversation. He turned and was greeted by a familiar mop of green hair.

“Oh. Hey, Kalin,” he said. “What are you doing-“ He stopped himself mid-sentence. Of course, you knucklehead. She’s a native Ilian. It makes SENSE for her to be here. He collected himself and spoke again.

“I guess I was just in the right place at the right time.”

“Try not to drink too much, it’s bad for you!” Kalin chirped playfully.

“Yes, Mother!” he replied sarcastically. He leaned his head in the other woman’s direction. “I was just enjoying the festival with my friend here. Her name is, uh…” Wait, that’s right. He didn’t know her name. Or maybe he did and HAD been drinking too much.

“Uh…” Satsume stammered, and spun around on his seat to face the young plat-blonde. “I don’t think we’ve introduced ourselves yet, actually. I’m Satsume.”
