The energy of the tavern was contagious, but Leifr didn't just come here to drink and make merry. Avoiding a few stumbling patrons, he found his way to the bar counter. The burly man was currently occupied with other patrons... or so Leifr thought, but suddenly the man was directly across from him. Leifr fumbled with his words as he tried remembering how in Gallastre the man moved that fast, but with a quick shake of his head he ignored the question and refocused. As soon as Leifr was about to open his mouth, the barkeep was occupied pouring more ale into another patron's flagon. His speed was truly unbelievable...
Finally waving the barkeep over, Leifr spoke quickly and efficiently so as to not waste the man's time:
“I came here after hearing about a rumor about missing peo-”
A laughing patron threw his arm around Leifr's neck and slumped over nearly dragging Leifr with him. Leifr tried helping the man up, but he quickly pulled Leifr's head down.
“Be a little quieter, will ya lad?” The patron whispered somberly. “There's men here who aren't drinking because of the festival.”
Letting Leifr go, the patron nodded towards the barkeep, and stumbled back to his table with a big, drunken smile on his face.
Leifr rubbed his neck where the man held him down, but looked back to the bartender with a both apologetic and expectant look.
