[sometimes, you just have to end a long day with a good drink. the life of a travelling mercenary—do the work when it's called for, top the night off with the drink and maybe the company of a beautiful woman...
the first two things are covered—so now it's time to eye the area in the tavern to see he can try to fulfill that last condition.
probably not his wisest move, but there's little getting around the fact that spotting sara... well, she's attractive enough for him to want to approach and see where it takes him.]
...Not much of a time at the bar if you let your glass empty. [little does alvin know that she probably wouldn't go that long with the pint glass empty.
or that she's probably already thrown back a few. he's not a very wise man, after all.]

Just catching my breath before round 5. [ And yet Sara says this without the slightest bit of a slur; that bright cheerfulness could be a product of the alcohol, maybe. Or the fact that she didn't immediately look at him and sigh, because her type tends to be a much older man and he doesn't have those kinds of indications in his face. ]
Are you treating?
Are you treating?
Round five, huh? Geez, and you make it sound like it's only the first. You've got some tolerance to throw back that many so easily.
[he's just going to pretend he didn't see that sigh. he is an attractive young man, thank you very much.]
I wouldn't offer is I wasn't treating—I'm not the kind of guy that goes back on an offer.

Reeeaaally now? I couldn't say either way.
[ But at least she's grinning now. ]

And does my new best friend have a name?

You can go with Sara.
[ "Purple Lightning" would be hilarious to give him, but it's not a title she lightly swings around with guys she literally just met at the bar. ]

Beer--!!
[ She sure said that with the enthusiasm of a child on the first day of Tales Christmas. ]

And a cute little umbrella for my male friend!
[ ... what, she can be classy. ]

About as well as I know that it never hurts to add a little excitement to the usual.

Is that it? You just didn't want to be the only one with a cute drink?
Riiiight. Well, I won't say no to a new experience!
[ Her students aren't here to judge her. ]

What better time to get into the spirit when there are spirits around, right?
[ a tiny umbrella will not thwart her from chugging and bad decisions. ]

... You're right. I'm all for a quiet evening with a cold beer, but taverns usually have a fight or two going on.
[ Not that dear sweet Sara Valestein, teacher of ten upstanding students (or nine upstanding students and Millium), would ever start a fight. ]

At least. Not like it's a bad thing, but it's just... pretty unexpected.
[of course not. alvin, on the other hand really wouldn't start much of a fight. he'd probably instigate other people with his shady ways and then casually stroll out.
you know, minor details.]
