Nelphy downed the first beer like it was water, holding it out for a refill.
All smiles, Hathon did just that. He also chugged his first mug so they could enjoy the second round together. "Wow, you almost handle it better than Bil."
"Really? Is he that good with alcohol?" Nelphy asked, starting to sip her drink.
Hathon nodded. "I'd say! He's better than me and Golby combined! He tried to hide it, but I could tell. Bil wasn't drunk at all, even after going all night long."
"Seriously?!" Nelphy coughed in startlement, almost choking on some beer.
Hathon began to divvy up and serve the food while saying, "Yeah… It's quite sad, really. To think he's unable to drink his worries and stresses away. And you rarely meet someone as heavy-hearted as him…"
Accepting a couple sandwiches with sweet potato salad on the side, Nelphy squinted and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
