Dazil is sandy and windy and busy and Bart adores every moment of it. Rarely does he enjoy exiting his most favorite desert pirate cruiser in the world ever, his treasured Yggdrasil, but the arid pit stop is definitely worth the effort.
He swaggers self-assuredly into the small town, boots sinking slightly into the tiny grains of ancient glass with every steady step. Past the shopkeepers, past the watchtower, past the other buildings until he reaches the small but sufficiently stocked bar. There is no drinking age in Aveh -- the Fatima dynasty never enforced any such thing to begin with, and that bastard Shakhan wouldn't give enough of a shit to create one.
Bart particularly loves the anonymity he can achieve in such a remote setting. The prince died years ago, or so most people believe; nobody would recognize the heir to the throne, anyway, and they don't. Bart takes a seat, orders some Bartweiser, admires its name, and sips at it thoughtfully.
An extremely tall man struts into the oh-so-fine establishment and sits a bit uncomfortably close to Bart. His clothing is so brightly colored that it practically glows in the dim lighting; Bart raises an eyebrow but says nothing. The other man does the talking for him.
"¿Qué tal, mi amigo? Name's Big Joe, and 'til now, this town's never seen such style!"
Bart smiles somewhat nervously and takes a larger swig of beer. Maybe that'll help.
He extends a hand, braces himself for possible injury, and grins more widely. "I'm Bart, and I'm a pirate. Pleased to meetcha."
As expected, Big Joe shakes rather painfully, and slaps Bart on the back. He coughs a little, but Joe doesn't seem to notice.
"Great, that's just great! Fantástico, bueno buena bien and all that." He waves to the bartender. "More drinks! I'll sing you a song if you give me a microphone-- You ain't nothin' but a heartbreakin'... Drinks for everyone!"
Bart laughs, and lets his guard down. This guy can't be that bad.
