CH883 Quiet Reunion; Necessary Evils
***
After the meeting ended and the attendees dispersed, Alex also dismissed his entourage while he met with Earl Drake Fury in private.
The walk over to the Earl's office in the castle was quiet, as neither father nor son said anything.
When they entered the office, Earl Drake walked over to the wine cabinet and poured himself a cup of wine.
"You really should stop drinking, Father," Alex commented.
"And you should let loose and live a bit more while you are still young," Drake replied.
Alex chuckled but did not argue.
Drake poured another cup and threw it over to Alex, who caught it.
Interestingly, neither the throw nor the catch caused a single drop of liquid to spill from the cup.
Drake then walked over to his seat at the desk and sat down.
"Don't worry, it's non-alcoholic. I wouldn't want your mother to scowl at me from the grave," Drake said.
"I hear I have you to thank for this nonsense," he added.
