Oh noooooooooo
"I'll keep that in mind, man. I don't really see the point of being all about rogues myself, but it's what is expected of me, ya dig? Plus, it's much better they have someone with a good head on their shoulders get them through this day-to-day stuff, yeah? You'd be surprised how many of them drop a trap at their feet and then don't move afterwards. It's... sad." Vick sighed and shook his head, staring at the cavorting crowd ahead of him. "I don't know what happened to you, Leo. I really don't. I dunno if you were open so much as you just put up with us. The us being Esâna, Asura, and I. Then... I dunno. They split off into their own team, you pretty much skulked off into the night, and I ended up here, in a tavern, drinking beer I can only taste, with a bunch of people who listen to me for no reason I can really understand. This is just too weird for me man. I worry that I'll somehow get to the end and then poof. It just won't be over. There'll be more bosses, and more people I know'll just kick the bucket, and then I'll never see anyone again." Vick sighed again and drained his glass, slamming it down on the table once he finished it. "We managed to get one boss down, but how much of that was luck and how much was us actually getting it done? We may make it to the next boss and it turns out we didn't actually have what it takes to get that far. But, that's a bit too heavy for right now. It is a party, after all. A party I think might be good enough that you'll get past yourself a bit and relax." His face broke into a grin, and any trace of seriousness managed to drain from his tone as he leaned back in his chair. "I mean, come on! There's plenty of people here that don't hate you, and it isn't like you're in hostile territory! Cut loose, man. You'll worry yourself bald and then people will say things like, 'whose that less handsome, smaller version of Vick walkin' around here' and we simply cannot have that. I've got an image to maintain, you know." Vick laughed loudly and gestured between himself and Leo, grinning even wider than before.
