ᅠ𝑴aster 𝑪repus was cleaning the glasses, having a moment of peace at the bar. he caught a glimpse of a unfamiliar silhouette in the door. the fiery red couldn't have been missed.

ᅠ“ new face, so beautiful . what can 𝑰 serve you, madam 𖤠 ”

⠀⠀
ᅠhe may be taller and older, but for him, he'll always be his little 𝑲aeya. but he can't deny, he's content to see he raised such a gentleman.

ᅠso, when he will bring someone special home 𖤠 he can't be too picky or he will end up being an old bachelor .

⠀

⠀⠀
ᅠ𝑴aster 𝑪repus cackled, pulling out a glass for his guest. he started pouring wine, side-eyeing the other.

ᅠ“ 𝑰'm not intrusive, 𝑳ohen, but if you have some good stories to share — 𝑰'm not against it. ”

ᅠhe was there for gossips and it was the fact.

⠀

⠀⠀
ᅠ“ not the height but charm wins hearts, 𝑳ohen. ”

he stopped himself before he wanted to share romance tips. master was catching himself getting old with these random need to share experience.

ᅠ“ if you drank with 𝑽arka, then 𝑰 will make you something stronger. ” +

⠀

⠀⠀
ᅠ“ from all those options , the one you chose was the most pleasant one . it's still interesting that you hesitated . you shouldn't have . ”

ᅠthe man shrugged , focusing his gaze on the other . he was unamused to see him .

ᅠ“ did you decide to follow a non-violent path out of sudden 𖤠 ”

⠀

⠀⠀
ᅠhe stretched , letting out a growl . his back hurts after tending a vineyard the whole morning .

⠀⠀
ᅠ“ don't make me ask you for an ID though . ”

ᅠ𝑴aster 𝑪repus started laughing, but soon realized he must be really old now .

⠀

⠀⠀
ᅠthe bartender was cleaning few glasses in between guests. once 𝑽arka returned from expedition with knights the queue never ended in the tavern. he recognized the voice, but the face - not really .

ᅠ“ 𝑳ochen .ᐟ 𝑰t has been a while. You grew up a lot. You need a drink as well, don't you 𖤠 ” +

⠀

⠀⠀
ᅠeven if he doesn't share his troubles, he's always worried about his son. it comes naturally with age and parenthood it seems.

ᅠhe may be taller now, but his eyes shine the same like when he was a kid and stuffed his mouth with sweets.

ᅠ“ hm ? ”
