Luke couldn’t help but arch a brow in confusion as Diana apologized to him. [color=a0410d]‘I-is this real, or am I just drunk as hell?’[/color] he thought to himself as she finished her apology. He couldn’t remember the last time someone other than his little sisters actually apologized to him. Not knowing how to react Luke rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled. [color=a0410d]“It’s all good, probably wasn’t the smartest thing to say on the first day anyways,” [/color]Luke muttered before feeling his mind explode in realization. [color=a0410d]‘DID I JUST FUCKING APOLOGIZE!?’[/color] he barked within his mind in utter shock before clearing his throat, deciding to silently blame the booze before he actually acted like a nice person. Hell, thanks to her mentioning her sister made Luke remember his. He kept the joyful smile as few quick memories of the two twins gave him a brief moment of soberness. Normally Luke wouldn’t worry about them to much since he knew they were with good people and a good community, but he couldn’t help but wonder how they were. How were they doing in school? Were they getting along alright without him? Did they even miss him? He fought the urge to shake his head and simply pushed the thoughts from his mind. [color=a0410d]‘Damn it, this isn’t the time to worry,’[/color] he thought to himself as he moved on from the topic.

As the new face shared the story of her scar and gave a rather fitting name Luke silently thanked the change of direction and laughed in amusement. [color=a0410d]“Slasher eh? Better not piss you off then! Or at least keep anything sharp away from ya!” [/color]he laughed before feeling his grin grow even larger as his two new drinking partners joined in his toast. Before he went to down his drink he noticed Victoria down her drink with ease and felt his bad, competitive habit return to life before taking a quick breath and chugging his beverage down. He slammed his mug onto the table before shooting a quick glance her way with a cocky smile, letting her silently know he wasn’t about to slow down if she wasn’t. Luke heard Diana complain about her helmet and looked her way as she fixed her hair. Luke arched a brow since this was the first time he’s seen her without it on and smirked in amusement. [color=a0410d]“Huh, would you look at that, there really is woman under that helmet. A small one, but a woman nonetheless!”[/color] he laughed as he took his own light hearted jab towards her. 

Luke’s laughter was cut off though as Victoria bragged on about being able to out drink the two of them without much trouble. A snicker escaped Luke before he turned to her and leaned in closer onto the table with a spark of confidence in his eyes. [color=a0410d]“Oh yeah? You think you could beat me? Her?”[/color] he jabbed a quick thumb towards Diana with a nod. [color=a0410d]“I can see that, but I’m no light weight,” [/color]he declared before smacking the table with a bark of laughter. [color=a0410d]“Bring it on then, let’s see if that big mouth of yours can keep up with that shit coming out of it!” [/color]he stated before stopping a young waitress that just passed by. [color=a0410d]“We need a bunch of rounds coming this way, the champion has another challenger,”[/color] the young waitress looked around the table and let a small smile of amusement come to her face as she shook her head.

[color=00a651]“You’re really an odd one you know that? Fine, I’ll let my grandpa know,”[/color] she said with a light chuckle of amusement before making her way back to the bar. Luke watched on as she talked to the old bartender and snickered as he looked mildly annoyed before sighing in defeat and allowed her to take a tray of freshly poured mugs back to their table. As she delivered the drinks Luke grinned and nodded in gratitude as he took a mug. 

[color=a0410d]“The old man is a godsend ya know that? Thanks, uh…” [/color]the girl smiled before holding the tray under her arm and clearing the long blonde hair from her face to let him get a good look at her bright emerald eyes. 

[color=00a651]“Emily Pavol and don’t mention it. My grandfather may have a bit of hard personality, but he’s a real softy,” [/color]she said before her smile grew a bit more sober as a small glint of happiness shined in her bright eyes while her small innocent smile widened just a bit. [color=00a651]“Even when we’re surrounded by so much sadness he’ll offer whatever he can to whoever needs it. I think he’d even give up his own bed if it meant helping someone on their last leg,”[/color] Luke felt himself freeze for a brief moment, finding it difficult to look away from the young waitresses almost breathtaking eyes and feeling a strange feeling in his chest. Soon she caught herself and waved a hand. [color=00a651]“Anyway don’t worry about that, just enjoy yourselves and drink up,”[/color] she chuckled before looking to the other two with a smile. [color=00a651]“If you need anything then don’t hesitate to ask, things are quieting down a bit anyways,” [/color]she said before leaving the table to return to her work. Luke felt his eyes following her for a few seconds before he accidentally spilled a bit of his drink into his lap. He jumped slightly, but quickly got his head together and cleared his throat, unaware that is cheeks were a bit more red than before talking to the waitress. 

[color=a0410d]“A-anyway, where were we?” [/color]he asked before looking to the other two while wiping away the spilled beer on his pants. He glanced to the beers and let his usual grin return to his face before leaning forward with a excited chuckle. [color=a0410d]“That’s right, I was about to drink ya’ll under the table!”[/color] he laughed before holding up his mug and gave a final glance between the two. [color=a0410d]“Down that hatch then ladies, let a man show ya how it’s done!”[/color] he declared before knocking back his head and beginning to gulp down the beverage with ease. As he finished his first mug he let out a gasp of satisfaction and held up his mug in joy. [color=a0410d]“Thanks old man for the drinks!”[/color] he shouted in true gratitude while not noticing Emily smile and giggle in amusement in the drunken soldiers cheering. The old man shook his head as he cleaned a few glasses, a small smirk of amusement spreading onto his face.
