Empire's Invasion [33]

An ensemble of jovial townsfolk sang. Tragedy had one of two uses, either destroy one's opponent or grant a cause for people to rally. The latter befitted the discordant Glenda. For the hastiness of preparation; the festival sure garnered many pleasant compliments. Free food and drinks, neighboring taverns were in full swing. Anger displayed into a drunken stupor. In and so sat Igna at Mainde's Tavern, a quaint little meeting area favorite for deals. In his company sat Vanesa and Draconis, the latter found great pleasure in playing games. The former remained more or less the same. She'd often spout mumbo-jumbo and dowsed right into her nap. 

Neatly tucked in a cozy corner, drinks arrived the same as would regular guests. Baron Igna joined the celebration, the hero of Glenda carried weight in a name. The attention was very much appreciated. He kindly knocked back drink after drink, and consciously avoided the cigar.
