[ tuesday evening, while he is at val's bonfire ]

[ Dragonmail: Ravindra Savarna ]

[ man this shit is not even wrapped. the flower wreathe val bestowed upon him is hooked around a bottle of wine (two-thirds emptied) and actually kept there by a vine tying the two together.

the postage is just slapped onto the bottle. below it: ] Happy summer solstice. Don't drink if you're still [ 'feeling bad' but he forgets to finish the sentence ]

[ Dragonmail: Acher [ ... what was his last name, fuck, it started with an O, didn't it? it takes a few tries before he spells it correctly and the dragon actually takes it ] Ostendramm ]

[ here's another wreathe

and a swiped bottle of shochu (he has no idea what these kanji characters mean)

the postage is also right on the bottle, but below it: ] Berserker? Like to hear the story --A

[What the hell, there's liquor here... eh, whatever, he used to never drink because it was a sign of weakness but that was something his player made him think]

Alexander. Good to hear from you.

Indeed. I took the trial and passed. I was lucky when I fought a hunter in the tunnels, near the prison. His friend could hardly heal him because of the protections there and I was able to be victorious.

But, I decided, I would rather not depend on the lack of magic to make victory possible.

And berserker seemed the best fit for my preferences in doing battle.

[ ah, that must have been rayu and ravi-- oh. so acher was in that group that they were trying to avoid. whoops.

writing back on the paper acher sent because too lazy to find paper here! ]

I'm surprised the Ahura let you take it.

I was as well, but I heard murmurs. Some theorize he had no choice.

He must have felt like shit. I heard you're the only one who defeated the trial beast. Is that true?

Of course. The other one was a disgrace, allowed in because he had "guts." The only thing guts give you in defeat is something to spill on the floor.

One of the berserkers there did not permit me a weapon, either. I do not know if it was the Ahura's idea, but I would have been a coward to refrain.

I killed the beast all the same.

[ legit laughing to himself ]

A bias and you still won! That's great.

Of course. I spent the better part of two decades practicing at combat.

[Pen tap. Actually...]

Or remember doing so. I suppose I should be thankful it carried over.

[ brb harassing your former player ]

[what]

[this isn't even full, what kind of a gift is this alex]

If I'm still what?

Did you drink this already?

I drank some of it. If you drink some of it, it'll be like we're celebrating together.

[oh.]

[yeah, okay, that sounds legit. he drinks some before writing back]

You know this is the first solstice celebration I remember coming to

[ that's sad ]

That's a shame. What are you doing?

[not really, he's lived in everea all his adult life]

Drinking with Vati at the Omghan bonfire, mostly. Nova came by earlier, he brought a friend who said she saw you in Bastan.
