st_olenlifeThe wine here was nothing like Antivan wine. Not even as good as bad Antivan wine. Fenris had already decided that it was not worthy of a glass, and drank straight from the bottle instead. He sat in a chair near the bar, and despite the fact that he was drunk, his body seemed unerringly alert to his surroundings.
He had reason to drink, he thought. More reason than usual, even, and it was not unusual for him to use wine to force himself into sleep at night. He had fallen asleep with Isabela once, and after she had woken him from a nightmare and asked him about it after, he had ensured that they did not share a bed for more than sex again.
But now - he was trapped in this place, and felt it chafing at him like bonds. Caged again. And no idea what might have caused it, aside from knowing it must be magic, and that chafed even more. There was also the matter of the wound on his thigh, which he had wrapped and attempted to tend to on his own, but its current state suggested that he should swallow his pride and suspicion and see a healer here.
For now, however, wine.
Alert as always, when he heard footsteps he went rigid and whipped his head towards the potential threat, bottle still in hand.
