"Good plan," she agreed, and waited for him to move off, before just, asking to be passed the two bottles and following. No stealing necessary.

Lysnander slipped into one of the private dining rooms or the Inn. He was waiting at a table when she came in. He had a dagger out and was flicking it over the back of his hand and catching it.

Vanda looked at the knife in his hand and then at Lysander, wondering if she was being threatened, "here"
She put one of the bottles on the table and slid it over to him, at least here he'd not be disturbing the others.

Lysander snatched up the bottle and spoke softly. "Thank you my dear." He pulled the cork with his teeth and drank it down hungrily. "This is good... what the fuck is it?" He leaned back in his chair. His feet on the wooden table. He threw the knife into the air and caught it with his free hand.

She'd tell him to be careful, but she was sure he could look after himself. She took a seat, "firewater, as requested," she offered, taking a sip herself, though she was certain he'd want to finish this one too, "you mentioned you were having troubles?"

Lysander nodded, "I am... the kind of problems all married couples have. You have never married? Is that correct?"

"Correct, I don't like the concept of marriage, myself,' she commented, "to be honest at the moment you're not exactly selling it to me, if you don't mind me saying,"

"I am not. I am hating it at the current moment. Only one good thing has come from that day. Everything else has been a poison pill." Lysander replied with a grim smile. He drank the whiskey, and asked, "How close did you come?"

"Me? I have never even come close to consider it, I'd not like to be tied down so. But Surely it cannot be that bad, or people would not do it? You loved one another no? What good thing came?" She asked, trying not to pry too much, though she was curious.

"We adopted a daughter named Lorel. She was worth all the other shit I had to eat for years. She is grown now... and I can feel her wanting to get a taste of the road." He shook his head and swallowed down some more of the Dragonwater. "Drink up girl. I hate to drink alone."

"Well if she never needs company, I am not opposed to adventure myself, she is welcome to come along with me some time," she offered, taking a drink on his recommendation, "Is it hard to let go?"

Lysander nodded, "It is very hard. I never thought to be a parent and now I can not imagine being alone again. I am torn up inside." He stared down into the whiskey for a long time and then drank from it hardily.

"Have you not considered adopting another, if you got so much fulfilment out of it, or perhaps even putting patronage towards schools or orphanages?" vanda suggested, watching him drinking and taking another small sip. "

"I have thought about it, but my husband does not want another child. He plans on living a good long while but sees the end of my life approaching and does not want to be left alone with a child." Lysander replied with an acidic tone. He slammed the knife blade first into the table and drove it through the table. His hand moved away from the knife leaving it in the table. His hand shook.

"How close could it be?" She asked, frowning, "if you do not have the same wants anymore, why not split up? Would you both not be happier?" She asked innocently enough.
