Chapter 59: Corper The Collapser
With a cheer of approval and clinking of mugs, the matter was settled, and the beasts integrated into the crowd around them to enjoy their new company for a few minutes..
Aster was beyond relieved they had avoided causing too much of a stir, but may have been celebrating a bit too prematurely.
The bear sitting at the table with Dally was a burly thing. He was definitely strong and muscular, but the beast carried a good bit of extra weight on him that gave him a stocky, powerful appearance.
Aster kept catching glimpses of the silent bear, looking his way with intrigue. The human felt like shrinking into the she-wolf and ended up doing exactly that as he slid just a bit closer to Stahl.
A slender lady orc came by a moment later, asking if anyone needed anything, and the bear finally spoke in a heavy sounding tone that registered more like a grunt to the human.
"Two more for me... Two for our guests here as well. I will buy today, so keep them coming, Moss."
Aster spoke up, dismissing the need.
"I don’t drink. Father said it could grow to consume a person, leaving them at the mercy of the vice. I’d rather not chance becoming one such victim... Thank you, though."
He bowed in respect at the beast’s offer. The bear chuckled a bit.
"Your father is correct on that. He must have been wise to raise a young man like you."
Aster beamed at the praise.
