Dan gingerly lapped up the remaining whiskey in his glass as soon as he felt the pang of a needle pierce his skin. He held himself together as best he could, the whiskey burning down on its way to his stomach, warming him and giving him a slight relief.
When Jeff had finished, Dan lifted his glass with a wounded look in his eyes, one that resembled a man parting with an old friend. In this case, a man and his support system. His back was wrapped up pretty well now, definitely well enough to move. He nodded to what Jeff had advised, still a bit down about the whiskey. "Well, let's get going." He gave his lopsided grin before putting his vest back on and heading outside with his friend. He, as a knight had known about the area at BattleShip Bay. Though, he hadn't really gone there often. In fact, he tended to stray away from it. He wasn't really one for the water, especially an artificial beach, made with elaborate pipe systems and waterways.
He snapped away from his thoughts when Jeff pulled the lever, steering the gondola down to BattleShip Bay, towards the boardwalk. Dan leaned against the side railing, smiling at the children he saw dashing across the sand, traveling to a young girl skipping stones. It was always bright, and nice here. He doubted that this place would ever really change, even with the war going on between the Vox and Comstock. It all just felt too peaceful here. Too good to ever be wrecked by the pain and devastation that the civil war brought with it.
Lifting a brow at the faint 'ding' that sounded, alerting those riding the gondola of their arrival, Dan pushed himself upright. "Alright Jeff, shouldn't keep a lady waiting, huh?" He asked, a smile dawning on his still pained face. This place brought him nothing but good memories, exactly the reason it pained him. He shrugged off the feeling as best he could, no matter what he couldn't go back, she was gone. It was his fault, he had to live with it now. Dan put his hands in his pant pockets before heading down the stairs and through the turnstiles, to the warm sand that danced constantly with the fake waves.
