Strelein swiveled around to face the man who called to him. He blinked in surprise at the man sitting in the seat, bandaged up and all banged around. Strel pursed his lips, wondering what on earth happened this guy, again. "You look like shit," he said roughly, setting a hand on his hip as his other hand clutched at the bottle of spiced rum. "Who did you piss off this time, boyo?" he said, shaking his head at the man. He figured that after one beating, a man would learn better than to piss other people off. Hell, once scorned was a good lesson for any man or woman. Then again, after so many years, plenty of people were still making the same mistakes over and over again. He was one of them, but that was besides the point.
Shaking the bottle, the liquid sloshing about into the neck of the glass bottle. "I brought something to ease the pain and embarrassment." He handed the other man the bottle to look at, since he was the one who knew how to read and how to understand the human language. "I figured you'd like something nice. Getting your ass kicked deserves something nice, and I found this little beauty laying around waiting for a special occasion." That and the fact that he wanted to thank the man for his help. If it was not for Niro's assistance, then he never would have been able to know what Ahiga's message had said. And if he had not known, then perhaps he would be wallowing in darkness for months more till he gave out entirely.
