Bear was able to stand, much to Gavriel's surprise. A wound that serious would have brought a lesser man to his knees within a matter of hours. Few men could survive long in the desert without water. Even fewer could survive without blood. This man had survived without either. He liked this tough Roegadyn.
Gavriel followed Bear and Tadir into the Tavern. He sat across from Bear at the table.
His order of rum and water was brought over by an Elezen woman dressed in a spectacular fashion. Gavriel then noticed that a Miqo'te was working in the kitchen and the elderly bartender was nowhere in sight. He raised his voice and shouted into the kitchen with a mocking tone, "It's about time someone killed that old man and stole his business. Things are much more interesting now."
After a while of chatting and drinking, Gavriel rolled up his sleeves and put his elbows on the table emphatically, "As soon as you've finished that rum, Bear, I'll sew you up."
He beckoned to the Elezen woman who was now cleaning sand from the floor, "If you would, grab me a pale of water, some towels, and the medical kit from behind the bar.... Oh, and two shots of the strongest stuff you can find."
