That was quite a whiplash, as the knight seem to admitted his defeat too easy....Something wasn't right, Gargan couldn't hep but noticed. He was drunk, but his perceptive eye still could pick up something from the young knight, but also, he was drunk, and couldn't really pinpointed it. But, the man was devastated, when Lady Luna flat out rejected him. Gargan was certain that there is something going between the two, but that is as far as his not-so-sober mind caught on."Slimes are friends! Not food!" Ume pouted, but did not interfere as Gargan poked her best friend. As far she could tell, the green slime was not bothered by it. In fact, it was still chewing on her hand.
Sir Gawrgaru had an incredulous look on his face.
"How could Luna not recognize me?!" He exclaimed in disbelief. "Luna... ever since we were little..."
"You ain't my fiancé." Ume interrupted. "My real fiancé is way bigger and scarier than you."
She was already taking enormous gulps of the Dragon's Beard that had arrived in front of her. It was a decisively un-ladylike way of drinking, and she easily drained more than three quarters of the mug in one large swig. Given her short stature, it was quite hard to imagine a young girl chugging such a large quantity of alcohol, but truthfully Ume was holding back.
For a dragon, this was basically like a thimble's worth of alcohol, and it only felt like a tiny water droplet.
Less than a second later, Ume drained the remainder of her drink. She had a disappointed look on her face, as she couldn't believe that it was empty already. What kind of shoddy human bar was this? Any respectable tavern ought to provide magical bottomless chalices for every patron. Proper mugs and pots should re-fill themselves whenever they are emptied.
Sir Gawrgaru's face was pale as a ghost, and it looked as if his brain had stopped working. He was clearly flabbergasted and unable to formulate words. It had been an especially rough day, and the knight simply didn't understand why the universe was doing this to him. First, his airship's anchor had snapped with no reason. He knocked himself falling through the ship's floor, and when he woke up, the Atlantis Trident had crashed into a tannery in Aerelieth which was over 300 kilometers away.
By any degree of common sense, it was impossible for his airship to drift from the Slime Rocks to Aerelieth in such a short period of time. If anything, his airship must have zigzagged around all the islands in between. Sir Gawrgaru was convinced that some kind of witchcraft was at work, and now it had claimed his fiancée as well.
Ume abruptly stood up without warning.
She tugged quite forcefully on Gargan's arm and whined childishly.
"I don't like this tavern. Let's go and find another one!"

OOC | Let me know when you feel like wrapping up the scene!
However, he does feel pity for Gawrgaru, as no normal man would drown themselves in so much alcohol to the point even standing near him causes Gargan eyes to burn. Even through the little interaction they just have, and Gargan first impression to Sir Gawrgaru must have been terrible, considering he was caught linking arm with his fiancé, or someone that looked like her, and yet he still kept his calm and conversed in a civilized manner. Those nobles back at his world could learn a thing or two from this gentleman here.
"I am sorry, Sir Gawrgaru, but without the Lady consent, I'm affair that there is nothing I can do." He bow apologetically, as his mind began to think of the situation behind this story.....Was there an argument between the two? Was there some sort of misunderstanding? Is this just a case of misidentification? Is this Lady Luna a shapeshifter who took her imagine?
For some reason, or for a very good reason, called drunkenness, Gargan's mind honed in on the last possibility... There were cases of skin-walkers and changelings assumed someone else appearances, so it was not that far fetch of a possibility. Except, Gargan forgot that this isn't his world.
"Now, if you would excused us, the Lady seem to wanted to tried all wines and ales this city have to offered, and I was chosen as her escort....." Gargan stood up, which followed by Lady Luna, who true identity is that of a shapeshifting dragon by the name of Ume...... and left the tavern, but not before Gargan payed for his drink, and asked for a message to passed to Sir Gawrgaru.
The message simply read: "This lady is not your fiancé, Sir Knight..... She may be just a skin-walker, or a shapeshifter who simply borrow your lovely fiancé image..... Don't lose your hope."
Leaving Golden Wings, and with the young lady in his arms, Gargan and Ume began to visited half a dozens other establishments, but most of it was blank in his mind....Maybe he shouldn't drink too much after such a long time abstinent from alcohol. One thing he know, however, that he doesn't looking forward to the next morning.
