Over the years of travelling about, there was one place Seiryu had always wanted to travel to, yet had not for one reason or another. Currently, somehow, Seiryu found himself at the Heavenly Emporium. Instead of browsing the streets and varying districts to see what was offered here compared to the minor lands that he had travelled thus far, Seiryu found himself approaching a familiar-looking scene – a scene that reminded him of countless times he approached a building that served under the same concept. A bar. This was where Seiryu found himself, standing outside the entrance to a bar, the name remaining unknown as he only saw the words ‘Beer, sake, drinks!’ posted on the outside of the building and that was enough to convince him to halt his progress of touring the Heavenly Emporium. For a man of twenty-seven years, Seiryi preferred to drink than look around a city; how that coloured him, he did not care. Looking around the city could wait for a later time, right now he just wanted some alcohol.
Pushing the door open and entering the building, the heat of the room was an instant blast to him. Did no one open the windows? Regardless, Seiryu stepped past the threshold to enter the bar and was immediately greeted by a female voice to his left. “Hello! Welcome to…” Immediately Seiryu ignored the voice, knowing it would be the usual spiel about how they could help him, thus he already an answer on his tongue before the woman could finish her sentence.
“I’d prefer a seat at the bar if you don’t mind.” Seiryu interrupted, his voice carrying over the woman who was speaking. It was probably,definitely, rude of him to do such a thing, but he was saving them both the effort and time it would take to get through that short conversation.
“Right this way.”
The irritation was present, Seiryu could tell that much. An apology likely would not help the woman’s mood, so he kept it to himself. Seiryu would follow the woman whose job it was now to lead him to the bar; which he could see from the entrance. The mundane effort and work that was part of this female’s job description was something SEiryu did not wish on anyone; there were far more interesting things one could be doing. Once seated at the bar, Seiryu would wait for the bartender to turn his attention over to him; it took longer than he liked due to the bartender engaging in a conversation with other patrons.
