Chapter 40: Spatialization

We returned to our inn in the early hours of morning, dead drunk, and barely able to walk at all.

Which really said something, because as I discovered, one of the stats—likely Vigor—not only improved your constitution, it also increased your alcohol tolerance.

Which meant Aerion and I ended up consuming an ungodly amount of booze. Everything from beer to mead to everything in between. It was so much that Richard, with his very normal tolerance, started looking at us like we were aliens. I supposed Aerion technically was.

It was the hardest I’d partied since my high school days, and for what felt like the first time since then, I truly felt like I was among friends. Among people who cared about me. The real me. Without judgment or barriers.

Just a group of like-minded people who’d been through hell and back. Something not too different from what veterans must have felt with other vets. It was the sort of bond you shared with people you’ve trusted your life with, and who trusted you with theirs in turn.

I’d never really had that, back on Earth. Neither, it seemed, had Aerion or Richard. Richard had his family, but after a few drinks, even he admitted this was different.

Not better or worse. Just different. Unique.

When we finally returned to our penthouse suite after a night of epic revelry, we were wasted and utterly exhausted, and Richard didn’t even make it up the stairs, forcing me to carry him.

Aerion flopped onto her bed without bothering to close her room’s door, and after dumping Richard on his bed, I followed her lead and did the same.

It was past noon by the time we awoke, and when we did, a note was waiting for us under the door. We were all out cold, so none of us had heard the messenger knock.

The note bore the official wax seal of Baron Sinclair, and was addressed to Aerion and me.

“How much you want to bet that’s what I think it is?” I asked, popping open the seal, my head foggy and throbbing from my hangover.

“It would seem the Baron somehow noticed our arrival,” I grumbled.

Sure enough, it was a summons, requesting our immediate presence.

“To think he had the consideration to keep quiet about it,” Richard said, his voice equally groggy. “Reckon he’s a fine bloke.”

I smiled. “He’s pretty solid, as far as nobles go.”

“Oh?” Richard asked, his lips curling up into a grin. “No looking down on the plebeians?”

“Nope,” I said, finding a smile of my own creep onto my face.

“No asinine entitlement?”

“Nope,” I said, grin widening.

“No incompetent idiot inheriting power he should never have had?”

“Certainly none of that,” I said, bursting out into laughter at the same time as Richard.

He walked over and embraced me in a tight man-hug, while Aerion watched on as confused as she was shocked at our alien mannerisms.

“I can’t tell you how nice it is to finally shoot the shit with someone who gets it,” I said into his shoulder.

“Mate, I was about to say the same.
