Hopes of a Big Event

The Lounge was a cozy area with a bar at the front and bookshelves attached to the surrounding walls. Tables and chairs were positioned in the middle of the space.

The room was less crowded than the Guild's Reception; some adventurers could be seen sipping beer or ale while speaking with one another, while others sat alone absorbing information from books.

Luke spotted the man who had helped him earlier; he was sitting by the bar, chatting with someone and holding a large beer mug.

Luke walked up to him and greeted, "Hello, sir."

The man spun around and took a little moment to study Luke's face. He soon identified Luke and said, "Ah! "You're that cautious bard from before."

"Yes, Sir, I am the Bard from the morning. I want..." Luke said.

The apparently drunken guy interrupted Luke in the middle of his talk, saying, "I can tell from your aura that you have grown stronger than before. Do you require any other assistance?"
