Pooky sat in the bar, eyeing the slumped form of Decay and the massive amount of empty bottles scattered on the table of her booth. Sighing, he motioned to the
bartender.
"I don't get it, man. Some folks couldn't get a date to save their lives, and this Leon dude has his best friend - now in a shiny sexually
attractive package."
"Mmph," the bartender replied noncomittally, polishing the already clean wood of the bar.
"Bastard's got the damndest luck, and he doesn't even have a clue."
"Hmmph" the bartender agreed. Behind Pooky, the crashing of glass and table announced Decay's loss of her battle with the demon alcohol. The
bartender peered around Pooky and shook his head. "Shit."
"Bah. I'll cover it." Pooky paid off the bartender, folding a twenty into the man's hand after his and Decay's tabs were settled. He
delicately plucked the comatose hero off the floor into a carry, his massive form cradling her like a small child, and hovered out the door and into the night
of Paragon.
"No can brain today. Want cheezeburger."
