It's time. The infamous little punk club is filled to the brim with curious fans. Ever since that little twit-fit, the club has been really playing up the upcoming battle between Sabo and Xanxus. There are posters and special drinks, themed for each musician.

The stage is set up for the two, with everything they need. The bar is active and the club is hopping. While this isn't a legitimate contest like the Song Contest, there's something more on the line here. The pride of punk music.

"That's the Pride Credo, didn't you know. But you can be the role model that I'm not. Though honestly, if you can't get a good laugh out of some of it, I feel for you. Some of it's hilarious. But you shouldn't feel bad about your age. With years comes wisdom and great taste in alcohol." He wouldn't mind trying some of that. "Hopefully, the fairy won't be cruel to me."

He chuckles in his throat, gently. "Oh, we'll say that I'm older than I look: some trick of good genetics seems to have overcome my vices," he says, signalling to the barkeep for another drink and nodding toward his companion. "Hopefully she'll be as much of an inspiration to you as she's been to me."

And Xanxus is actually younger than he looks if you go by technicalities. So, they are definitely a pair. "And if not, I'll just return to chasing the dragon. That's never lead me wrong."

He'll cock an intrigued eyebrow at this, smirking a bit, as the barkeep fetches a clean glass, setting it on the bartop and filling it from a green bottle, then dropping a sugar cube into it and adding some spring water from a bottle. "Faeries and dragons. There's a song or a poem in that or both, I'll wager," he says, pushing the drink closer to Xanxus.

He watches the ritual. It's so different from whiskey. Far more art to it than just pouring a glass of his chosen poison. He takes the glass once it's pushed towards him and nodded. "It does indeed. Fairies that twist the mind and show truths hidden and dragons that horde away treasures that once were lost." He takes a drink and gets hit with that licorice flavor. "We've encountered both, I think. But one more prevalent than the other."

Why choose this man to speak to about things he's starting to question? Perhaps because this man was older and seemed a little wiser. He might offer an insight he hasn't had before, simply from experience.

"Perhaps revealing the location of the treasures that the dragons have hidden, and perhaps the dragons help to guard some of the most precious of the secrets which the faeries have revealed?" he muses. Then as the younger man takes a drink from his glass. "Like what you taste? It can be a bit strong, even overwhelming at the first sip.

"I had a feeling you've had your share of dragons, just as I've met my share of faeries in my time and through my creations..."

[variaboss]

He hums at that. He wonders what secrets they are holding from them. He knows what his memories are and he knows they are changing. He is changing. Others too. How much have the dragons taken and horded away from them?

"It's not my whiskey, that's for certain, but I don't think I hate it." He still likes his chosen drink better.

"Hmmm! Admittedly, it's not for everyone, but I'm glad the experience was at least a welcome one," he says with a bow.
