SIDE STORY (ETHAN): AN IDEA

"What the hell?" Lou approached the table where Ethan and Redmond had started to drink. "You start without me?"

Ethan and Redmond gave the merchant a nasty look. Both of them looked annoyed with his tardiness. He should have been here two hours ago, but he only showed up now.

"What with that look?" Lou sat down on the third chair between Redmond and Ethan, as he took a bottle, unscrewed it and gulped down the liquid inside. "I always like this drink! So, what is the plan?"

Ethan groaned.

"Nothing has decided yet." Redmond nodded at Ethan. "He freaked out with all the ideas."

"What a coward," Lou scoffed, which rewarded him with a glare from the gamma.

"I don't know what I was thinking when I asked you guys for help with this," Ethan groaned. He must be not thinking straight when he asked these two morons about how to ask Aliana for a ceremony.
