Vitor opened his heart to Genkos, and his throat to the Old Inn gin’s. Genkos advice was helpful but the conversation topic was one that could lead to an extra dose of booze.
Vitor smiled and effusively struck his gin glass in Genkos pint. He grinned and poured it down in a sip. Considering it was the third one, practically in a row, Vitor was letting the warmness of the alcohol settle in. He leaned back and opened his arms.
Silveira: I had a crazy idea. Let’s get a matching tattoo. ::He leaned forward opening his hands, as if he was picturing a sign.:: Something like “I survived Frontier Day and all I got was this tattoo.”
Genkos shook his head definitively.
Adea: Absolutely not Vitor, I am not a tattoo fan.
Vitor rolled his eyes, waving his hand dismissively at Genkos.
Silveira: You're so boring at times.
Vitor again waved his glass so the barman could see it. He noticed Genkos did something but wasn’t sure what it was.
Adea: Please don’t take this the wrong way my friend, but you’re drinking those awfully fast.
Vitor raised an eyebrow and shrugged. He was feeling his cheeks warm and
Silveira: Give me a break… The faster it goes down the more we can fill. Were in a pub. That’s how it works.
Adea: Response
Vitor pouted and opened his arms. With a defeated look he nodded and leaned back.
Silveira: Fine… I didn’t know you had Herbert in your name… Doc Genkos Herbert Adea.
Tell you what, I cut the drinks and you do one thing for me.
Adea: Response
Vitor grinned, slowly he began tapping his empty glass at the music rhythm. His senses were slightly… Dimmed by the gins, but he had managed to recognize the song now playing.
Starting to dance in his seat Vitor kept the beat with his glass.
Silveira: Sing with me..
Adea: Response
Vitor ignored Genkos reply and closed his eyes. The glass was now in sync with the music.
It was about the middle of the song but he remembered the lyrics and in a soft tone he began to sing.
Silveira: You win again, so little time, we do nothing but compete
There's no life on earth, no other could see me through
You win again, some never try but if anybody can, we can
And I'll be (and I'll be), I'll be (I'll be) following you, oh girl
Vitor began to smile. There was an old portuguese expression that said “who sings puts Evil away”. It would be likely best translated as “Those who sing put their sorrow away”.
It apparently worked when you already poured down some gin.
Adea: Response
