David walked into the town a guitar on his back. In his hand was a simple brown paper back. Sweat dripped down his face .He looked like he had been through hell. In fact if he said he hadnt been. He would be lying. He had seen death and he barely escaped. He saw the Nadon Inn. He looked at sign for a few minutes before deciding to sit down. He walked towards the wall leaning against.
He looked down at the bag he had carried in. He reached into the bag pulling out one of his fathers favorite past times. His dad's favorite treat. Liquor of course. He opened the bottle with both of his hands. He then gripped the bottle with one hand and began to drink it down. He diddnt normally drink but today was a special occassion. Today was a good day to just take a break.

Edwin was enjoying a few stray hours in the city when noticed a familiar face in the crowd, he slipped into the nearest doorway hoping she hadn't caught a glimpse of his face. He hadn't been out of the office much because of her, she wouldn't stop following him, leaving him messages, calling him, telling people they were together when he absolutely detested her sight.
He considered her a stalker, and hated himself for being polite enough to have accepted a date with her from the get-go. He couldn't do anything to get rid of her as she was the daughter of the head official. He basically considered himself screwed as a bachelor until she found someone else to fall all over.
He peeped out the doors window to check if she had spotted him, he was more than relieved when she passed the building in the crowd.
He sighed loudly leaning against the wall that held the main door, looking about he saw David, chugging a bottle of what must obviously be liquor.
"Slow down or that'll hit you hard." he mumbled more to himself than the boy.

David just looked at him and continued drinking. He chugged down the bottle halfway before taking it out of his mouth.
"that's kind of the point of alcohal? dont you think" David said calmly he shook his head and laughed alittle. David wasnt an alcoholic or anything. This guy just diddnt understand the clear point of alcohal. Too hit you so hard that when you wake up the next morning. When you feel like you are going to be sick. You realize that you drank alcohal for a dumb reason in the first place.

Edwin half smirked while he shook his head loosely, "No, I wouldn't necessarily say that was the point. I'm more of a social drinker myself you see, I don't drink alone."
He smiled quirkily and pulled out a chair from one of the few wooden tables, before slipping into it he said, "I think the last time I drank that much I woke up in the wrong place at the wrong time, as they say."

David looked at the wooden table that Edwin was sitting in. He walked over to the table. He had stumbled alittle bit on the way to the table. He smirked embarrassed as he sat down at the table.
"I usually dont drink....it's just been one of those days....I havent woken up in any wierd places yet though...lucky me" David said he wasnt even looking at Edwin. He was looked at the concrete wall behind him.

"One of those day? One of what days, if I may ask?"
Edwin noticed his stumble but ignored it and also watched Davids lack of eye connection and inserted that into his memory for later use.

"you know a really crappy miserably hot day....that's what I mean" David said without missing a beat. He had expected to be asked this question. David still looked at the concrete wall. Instead of directly at Edwin. He then finnally took focus off the wall and looked right at Edwin.
"so who are you anyways?"

Edwin took Davids reply and shrugged, he obviously didn't want to go into it. Edwin wasn't going to press for an actual answer.
"Yeah, hot days can get rather.. fierce."
The sudden change of eye focus didn't throw him off course or intimidate him, this was a pretty routine reaction.
"Oh, pardon me, I should have introduced myself, I'm Luke, last name Bittle," He pulled on the fringe of his jacket with both hands smiling proudly, "Haven't you seen me? I'm a thespian, I star in Harets best plays. You've seen me right? Just don't remember with all that Liqquoor." He smiled jestingly and gave a full bodied laugh while drawing out the 'kor' sound in liquor.
Edwin went by a separate entity when traveling in town, usually by Luke, sometimes Chris, and always changing jobs but very sure about himself. Even though Edwin was a head figure, the face even, of the Government and corporation, it was rather easy for him to pass as another, no commoner seemed to believe the Officials would murk around with them in town.

David rolled his eyes once he heard the word fierce. He could almost bet on the fact that Edwin was a very conservative individual. When he heard he was an actor. He was pretty surprised. What free thinking person would say fierce. Normally he would expect 'yeah I hate fucking hot days like these' from a person involved in the liberal arts. This guy must be more boring then David expected.
"yeah sure...the liquor must be the reason I dont remember....yeah half a bottle I guess I cant hold my alcohal....." David said looking over Edwin quickly. "so what have you acted in?" David said pretending to be curious in what Edwin had to say.
