So I'm sitting as the bar stool it starts to grow roots
Feelin' like an old worn out pair of shoes
Tell me what is it that I should do
When I'm swimming in the liquor only half way through
The Devil Makes Three, Old Number 7Three years, three years ago he had been part of a large group of Knights, and now he was a wondering Knight, serving no Lord and no one purpose. He had no vows to keep up, though he still kept to the old ones as best he could anyway, using that freedom that he now had as it was needed, depending on the situation. He had saved many, killed many, failed to save some, had been wounded many times, more than he cared to think. But the gift of the bear had allowed him to survive when normal men would have failed or died in the same situation. He wasn't immortal, far from it, just resilient, more so than any normal human. He knew his strengths and his limits he had learned them quickly, he had to, if he wanted to survive. His mother and sister were still out there, alive last he heard any news from them, it was hard to get news since he was always travelling around. He needed to go and see them it had been too long and they'd probably like to know that he was still alive as well.
Lokir sighed to himself as he gulped down more whiskey, and used the bottle next to him to refill the glass. He was getting himself good and drunk, why? No other reason than he wanted to and he had found himself in a sour mood thinking on the past so he decided to drown it somewhat with a bit(lot) of drinking.
Lokir stood a little shorter than six feet tall, despite being just into his mid thirties his hair was grey, a natural colour he was born with, with hazel eyes. He scratched at the week old beard on his face, he needed to trim that, long beard under helms didn't always make for comfortable wearing. But he could do that later. His armour set was up in a room, but he was wearing the boots from his suit of armour, just because he had been too lazy to change and they were familiar and comfortable. Otherwise he wore normal plain clothing, nothing special.
He shot down the next glass of whiskey and poured out another and eyed the bottle; half gone.
”Hey, keep, ready up another, eh?” Lokir spoke and placed the coins on the bar top and the keep brought him another bottle setting it next to the half full one, or was it half empty?
Did it matter?
The knight sighed placing his forehead on the bar top after downing another glass of whiskey. He ignored whatever else was going on in the tavern, he knew some were playing cards others just talking. There was one bard in the tavern singing some sailing shanties for the patrons. But Lokir was lost in his own little world for now, but his ears were open, just in case a fight broke out.
