[Raven's been at that wine in the fountain for a good hour or so now. ~~When life gives you lemons take them, they're free lemons right?~~ He's pretty out of it - hugging anyone who happens to pass by, even the guys. Yeah there's birds being lovey-dubey and some flowers he keeps treading on, not to mention the fountain itself. But he's occupied with getting wasted, because you know, he has priorities. Fortunately for you guys he was affected and taken about 3 days ago.]

I won't tell if you don't tell...

... really?

Sure, why not! I bet yer a great drunk! [He lets go of you and pushes you towards the fountain.] Go for it!

Okay, just don't tell anyone else I did this.

[He HAS been kind of curious about alcohol ever since he talked with Guy about it, so... he'll take one of the chalices, dip it into the fountain, and then take a sip.]

... that's what wine tastes like? It tastes exactly like grape juice. What's so special about that?

Huh, yer kidding right? [Going for another drink.] No that's wine alright.

So wine just tastes like grape juice?

Well it is made from grapes. But no it should taste a little more... stronger.

It tastes exactly like regular grape juice to me. There's nothing "stronger" about it at all.

Must have some kind of kiddie filter on it. I don't feel like gettin' into trouble for takin' ya to the bar.

Oh. Well, um, thanks anyway. I'm glad you were willing to let me try it anyway.

[... aaaand for some reason he feels like he should thank Raven with a hug, so he's going to do just that.]

Yay! See, this old man ain't too bad ta hug is he? [Burying you with his big floppy coat.]

N-no, this isn't bad at all. You're nice and warm...

[Normally he'd be way too shy to initiate a hug, but given how affection-starved he is, it's all good.]

Ya shouldn't say things like that, I might get excited.

...

[PULLING AWAY NOW]

I didn't mean it like that!

I'm just teasin'! Old Raven's already got someone he loves~

You do? But I thought last time you said...

What did I say?

You said you weren't in love with anyone.

Oh right... Yeah I got the feelin' I shouldn't be either. But alas, the old man found love.

So... who is it? Is it one of those girls you were saying were way out of your league?

Definitely out of my league.

... oh.

But that's a good thing right? Nice ta see I still have standards, even in desperation.

What about you kid, ya find anyone durin' the season of love?

[A little headshake.]

No, and I'm glad. I don't want to fall in love with anyone else, even if Richter isn't here anymore.

[Though he says this lightly enough, it's clear it's still a rather sensitive subject for him.]

I know the feelin'. Though, I gotta admit the amount of people hookin' up and this fountain... this is an experiment isn't it?
