The man's brow furrowed. "Like I said, sir: I don't know if they took the dwarf. He's measured with a yardstick and can run across the bar in the blink of my eye." He paused. "He normally pays the tab, generously too, however yesterday Yuki paid...And the rush they were in; those two things tipped me off that something might have been off."- "That sounds strange. Were you able to ask Yuki or Bo why they were leaving so suddenly? From what we heard, they are regulars customers so isn't unusual for them to act that way ? Especially if they were in good spirits ? Why would they leave without Stein too ? It's even more curious, why would they leave without the man they are supposed to escort trough the town ?
The man seemed to genuinely think on the question. "And it's safe to say you've been to the World Government Embassy?" He asked, somewhat rhetorically before pondering a bit deeper. "...Possibly the Lower Azure City Book House?" He responded. "It's where Yuki worked, still works whenever she gets the chance. She's a town favorite."Do you have any idea where they might have gone or what could have caused them to leave like that?"
The man's head perked up a bit as Shaarib spoke, the flow of words giving life to the drunkard. A thoughtful smile spread across the mans face as he thought of yesterday, it was in-fact pretty festive. His head wobbling in all directions as he seemed to process genuine thoughts for the first time in a while.- "Mate ! I did not se ya yesterday ! The bar was so full ! I partied with a dwarf half my index and was pushed away by a burly mink, I then went to look for the little guy all night, did you saw him perhaps ?"
At the mention of the mink, the man's face soured. "Urgh, Bo- I can't shtand that guy. He'sh thrown me up against the wallsh here more timesh-" He paused to let loose a mixture of a gag and a hiccup before continuing. "-than I can count. Forget that guy!"
This guy seemed to be a lost cause...
As Shaarib and Baast would consider their next words or actions, the doors to the Tea Shop swung open and a group consisting a large male raccoon-mink and two human women in each arm walked in. He seemed in good spirits and pantomimed tipping a non-existent hat towards Shaarib and the drunk, and then those at the bar.
"Wei, the ladies and I will have our usual!" He hollered over before sitting at a rounded booth immediately near the entrance. The raccoon man, wore the clothes of a commoner but they were extremely well-made nonetheless; he wore countless small satchels and bags all across himself.
The bartender gave a stern look to the suspected marines and then turned to begin making the raccoon patron's drink order. Mixing together multiple bottles of alcohol into a shaker before straining them all into large clear glasses; revealing a bright orange liquid inside. Then setting three small glasses of a clear liquid beside them all and walking the tray away from the counter and over to the entrance.
It seemed the bar-owner was done speaking on the matter.
