[Umiko smiles as she brings the paper back in front of her. She's been watching the board and how those around it act. If you have no confidence you have no business being there. She smiles at those who are gawking at them and then carefully folds the paper sliding it into her pocket. There are more like it hanging on the board, meant to be taken since the rough directions are printed along it's bottom.

Those around them seem impressed for the moment, at both Sephiroth's cool demeanor and Umiko's gumption. To those watching, it looks as if they've done this before which is Umiko's intent from the start.]

We'll leave at first light then? I should be able to have one more beer.

[Her smile continues to be fixed in place and she is completely aware they have an audience. Should another hunter wish to speak to her they'll know exactly where she'll be for the next twenty minutes or so.]

[For just a moment, when Umiko pulls the paper back and slips it into her pocket Sephiroth looks past her and briefly over the various other slips of paper attached to the board. It's only a fleeting look though, before Sephiroth offers Umiko directly a light smile and nod before making a open, sweeping gesture while turning; to clear a path through the crowd back to their table where Rudder is waiting and she can go first.

He glances around at a few of the onlookers in the process but then follows on her heels back to their table. Sephiroth pauses and plants his fingers over the top of the glass holding the rest of the beer he's still to finish and follows Umiko with his eyes as she sits back down. The rest of the tavern, and those still watching him are to his back. His fingers clench against the glass, a creak of leather in doing so.]

Well that's that, then.

See not so hard.

[Umiko smiles up at him before glancing out the window. She has no idea what time it is though she knows it's sometime late in the evening.]

I'll meet you here an hour after sun up. I do have a few things I need to do in the morning and I'm sure that isn't too early for you. [Being in the military and everything.]

We'll set out from here. I'm going to obtain a rough map for the trip but according to what I read the creatures hunting ground is about thirty minutes outside of town.

[He'd never have been bold enough to get up like Umiko had and do the thing. At least not currently. As he smoothly sits back down on the stool he were sat on before, Sephiroth nearly scolds himself inside for appearing to be so hesitant, so unwilling to stand up in front of a crowd. Sure he might be able to convince himself he was being cautious but the line between that and not having the gumption to show off like he used to has gotten ever tighter these days.

He can't settle on whether it's a flaw to his character that's developed, or if it's just that sense of needing-to-be-prepared which is working on overtime.]

Sounds like a plan.

[He tightens the grip around the edge of his glass and after a pause knocks back the remaining couple of mouthfuls of beer all in one go. It's a change of pace from the rate he has been drinking at, though it does have a victorious edge to it. A spark to the otherwise overly-stoic military man.]

Don't stay up too late.

[A dry chuckle is huffed out as Sephiroth re-takes the large tumbler, which still has half of is whiskey in, from the table once more.]

[Umiko smiles up at him and then waves her hand assuming he's heading off.]

Me? Never.

[Her voice is light and it's obvious that she's beginning to feel the effects of the alcohol. In truth she'll drink this glass and then maybe one more with the rest of the patrons at the bar and then saunter off to bed with Rudder at her side. In a way Rudder was her designated driver; only he makes sure that she gets home should she over drink.

Umiko rarely has trouble with hangover which is why she is unconcerned about their early start tomorrow.]

ADVENTURERS END

[shinrasfinest]

[He's still a good few sips of his whiskey left but after the beer it's clear he's not sure if it's such a good idea to finish it. From experience, if only the once, he figures he could do without any chance of his mind being dulled by the after effect of too much alcohol. Even if they might find the hunt easy.

Sephiroth is much too proud to have called it a simple hangover last time; it was so much more than that considering it had devolved into a fight. Not exactly encouraging him to want to repeat that ordeal.

He glances to Rudder, then back to Umiko and finally decides to knock back the remaining whiskey in one go. At the very least it might help him to sleep easier without the usual tumult of thoughts that often keep him awake.]

Goodnight, Umiko.

[Sephiroth places the empty glass down on the table, and waits for the fleeting, alcohol-induced tug to his awareness to pass before turning and heading for the exit.]
