And the kegs are in the basement, you can haul them up yourself, leave the cash here." she yelled back at Revan, "And you might want to try going sober for a while. Look at me, I have to deal with you and I'm not hammered. See how that works for my health?" she pointed to her wrinkled face bearing a few scars from the war. None the less she picked up three pints and got to work.
