bringspeopletogetherWhat Alistair would very much like to do is get exceedingly drunk tonight. Or get exceedingly drunk for the next week, really. But...there’s a big celebration tomorrow morning, with as many Fereldans as one can cram into a single place, and he can’t show up to his own coronation looking like he spent the night in a ditch.
(His coronation. Maker’s breath, he’d rather fight the archdemon again.)
A pint or two of something shouldn’t be a problem, though. Perhaps at one of the taverns around the corner, just to get out of the castle for a bit? Go find the most common clothes he can dig up -- maybe something with a hood -- strap a couple daggers to his side just in case, and sneak away while Anora’s putting the final touches on everything? Yes. This plan, he decides, is absolutely flawless.
Except for the part where this tavern seems a lot bigger on the inside than it looked on the outside. Huh. Cautiously, he pushes back his hood a few inches and peers around at the assembled clientele; it doesn’t look like there are any immediate threats, but, well, it’d be even worse if he showed up to his own coronation dead tomorrow morning, wouldn’t it.
