There's a terrorist at the bar, having the worse day of his life. Ever. Bar none. And it's his own fault in more ways than one, but in no small part because he asked for it.

So, after not even attempting to sleep, he's back in the bar on a mission to drink until he passes out.

Please, if you're of a sensitive disposition, dont bother him. He'll snap at you and end up hurting himself more. Which he really doesn't want to do. Leave him to his two bottles of tequila and anyone else, please refrain from commenting on the way he appears to be trying not to shake.

He was too tired to argue. Too much alcohol and no food, no sleep and pain that wouldn't go away.

'Someone told me that I didn't undertstand what it was like to live like them. I challenged that - so they showed me.' He reached for the bottle. 'And now I'm feeling the pain of every person I ever wronged in my entire life. And feeling guilty about it.'

He drank deeply. He didn't feel bad about telling her. She didn't get involved with men so it was unlikely she'd spread it around.

"Oh my. I'm sorry Ramon, and from the looks of things, I'd say you've wronged quite a few people." It's a shame that justice is so sweet.

"That sounds horrible." She says sincerely.

He smiles lightly. 'I doubt you're too surprised to learn that Hestia. And its only temporary. I'll be alright.

But yes. Its not nice.'

"Not surprised at all Ramon. but it doesn't mean that I think it's necessarily fair to return the favor. Mightn't you mention this to security? I do not feel that the rules should allow such a thing. Deserved or not." *Smile*

He tries to laugh. 'It's that obvious? And no, no security - I gave him permission. And I'll see it through.'

"Fairly obvious Ramon, yes. You appeared quite used to having a knife at your throat if you recall. Said so yourself in fact." *Smile* "And if you did indeed give him permission, then I guess you have little choice. I hope you enjoy it." *Still smiling*

He looks over at her coolly. 'You're a hard woman Hestia. Didn't you ever hear that you shouldn't kick mn when he's down?'

He doesn't really mind. He's welcoming the distraction but he still feels like someone put a car on his head and he has to drag it around.

"Just trying to provide a level viewing point for the whole matter, my dear. I am glad that you finally get to see both sides, and am even happier not to be involved myself. I had to do similar things to members of my own family at times, and you know, it hurts to see anyone suffer, but even I occasionally know that it has to be done." *Shrug*

He smiles, a touch bitterly. 'But the man wasn't trying to teach me a lesson. Or make me suffer.' He rubs a hand over his face in exhaustion. 'And seeing both sides for thirty six hours wont change me Hestia, you should see that. I've endured torture for longer - though different to this, I'll give you that.'

"Doesn't have to change you in order to give those you've hurt a sense of justice. Think about it Ramon. It can be done again if necessary." *Innocent smile*

"I'll leave you to your drinking. Have a good day."

She stands to leave.

He nods at her. He's not in the mood to have people gloat over him, so he's happy enough to see her go.

'Thank you. I'll try. And have a good one yourself.'

She walks away without another word.
