The night was hot with summer air and there was not rain, but fireflies outside the Lion's Head, Riled laughter and jaunty music played from inside the tavern and boomed out through the cracks in the windows and doors. Trailing down to echo across the Jasper's beach.
But inside the tavern was a different matter all together. The jaunty music of pirates and tambourines still played, and the riled and loud drunks still slammed mugs against tables, stamped their feet and laughed in booming voices.
All except for Avery, who sat in a corner of the tavern, nursing a mug of the foulest alcohol in his now healed arms. The splint gone, leaving only a few small scars and scabs on his brittle self. Sniffing the foul mug, he began to drink.
