I was back at Val's bar first thing in the morning (I cleaned up a bit and put on new clothes, thankfully the police did not find me as I really didn't want to answer more questions). He didn't seem surprised at all. He didn't even say anything for the first hour, just took my drink orders and kept them coming. I was well in to my fifth beer before he said anything of note.
"So decided to come back eh?"
"I ended up at a sex club for cannibals ran by one of Morley's disciples, they attempted to eat me and I burned the place down." He chuckled a little bit.
"Sounds like you had a more interesting holiday than I am."
"That's it you're not going to tell me I'm lying or claim that I just made that up?" I was kind of astonished actually.
"I heard the sirens and the paper had a thing about finding a bunch of burnt up bodies, I'm not an idiot Trezlan and this sounds like the exact kind of stupid thing you'd wind up getting involved in." I smiled at him.
"Thanks Val, I think even though you insulted me."
"You're welcome, that's about as good I can get for you, I mean it's the holidays this is your gift."
"I didn't get you anything!"
"That's fine I'd be terrified of what you give as a gift." I hopped down from my bar stool, stumbled to a table nearby, but made it to the door.
"No its not fine. I must get you a gift Valrym, I shall return!" I tried to flip my scarf in a triumphant way, but instead turned myself around, made myself sick and then collapsed to the floor. "Ok well when I get up in a bit I shall return!"
