Re: The Game Room
"Meriwether, this is Captain Gallus, without his huge suit of armor. He was Sergeant the last time we talked. Thank you Gallus," Quintus lined up his next shot, this time to the striped yellow one. With a bit more control, Quintus shoots the ball. The cue strikes the nine bouncing the ball near the pocket, but bouncing off of the banks, rebounding into the center of the table. With a strong crack the 9 ball separates the pack, and with a lazy roll the three ball wobbles over to the side pocket and falls.
"Well, what do you make of that, I was going for the striped ones, your shot big man." Returning over to the table, Quintus refills the mug and two glasses. Waving for another glass to the barmaid Quintus hands a full glass to Meriwether. "One of the last bottles made from the Scarpelli family, my own vineyard raised these grapes, my own kin pressed this wine. Here try it, there is a heart to the wine you won't find elsewhere. You can have tea later." A serious and forlorn look crosses his face.
