Time kept moving as one by one the tavern's customers came in to relax and talk. One of the tavern's waiters came over and replaced the beer bottle with wine.
The rule for staying at a table was simple. They had to keep ordering. The beer bottle Syifa bought was already empty, and Ethan didn't really like the sweet and bitter taste of beer.
Wine was different. It offered a mix of tastes, from sweet and sour to fruity notes. That was what Ethan liked more.
As the night went on, many customers decided to end their break and return to their guild office. Only a few people were left in the tavern, still eating and drinking.
The tavern door opened. Ethan turned and saw a man walk in. He wore the same uniform as Syifa. He was her party member.
"So she's here," the man said.
The man walked to Ethan's table and saw Syifa lying unconscious, no longer rambling, covered with a blanket. Ethan was lucky she didn't throw up all night.
"Did she drink too much?" the man asked.
