There is a mess, a broom, and a well armored man who looks about as confused as he does exhausted. He exhales, hand coming to run through a mop of messy brown hair. Gods, does his head hurt. It isn't the first time headaches have crippled him, he can remember exactly two times prior to this that his head felt as though it was about to explode. However neither of those were caused by being thrown out of some sort of portal, ambushed by demons, and saved by the Inquisition. (That's what they called themselves.)

Those were different sorts of headaches, the sort Adrian would rather not revisit anytime soon.

With a sort of sigh of resignation he moves towards the mess, bending down beside the mess of what was someone's component jar, nudging the scattered contents with a gloved finger. Rat hearts, some sort of herbs - fimilar yet unfamiliar at the same time. Be a waste if he just leaves them here. He puts aside the broom then, picking up the contents and shaking them of dirt and glass, before pocketing them into a small pouch on his hip.

As he does, Adrian sighs once more, mumbling: "I need a drink."

This is more like it. Despite the fact he is very much aware the job is to escort the particularly large and rather drunk man back to the Gallows, Adrian decides not to, not straight away. In fact he makes it his mission to becoming chummy with the Marquis, drinking a few rounds with him before challenging him to a card game. Adrian, of course, manages to win without even having to cheat, reliving his charge of a few gold coins.

This, naturally, gains the attention to few of the other patrons, who gravitate towards their table taking up the opportunity for a little but of light-hearted gambling. It's where you find Adrian, and a rather passed out Marquis, some hours later. Table surrounded by a crowd of patrons, as he smoothly lays his cards out on the table. His opponent curses loudly ("Maker's Balls!") as the small crowd cheers, Adrian leaning back in his chair.

"It seems, my good sir, that I have beaten you once again."

Come at me. ;)
