Aveline: grinning, holding a drink You won't believe the garbage I had to wade through to find this book! Worth it, though!
I smile and drink my beer sounds like you.
Aveline grins and takes a swig of her drink
Of course it does. You know I have no patience for boredom or dull company.
What about you, my friend? What exciting adventures have you been on lately?
I sit down next to her what book?
She takes a sip of her drink before responding.
A first edition copy of "The Count of Monte Cristo." It was in deplorable condition, hidden in some dusty corner of a backwater town in Portugal.
I sit down next to her and order an island bum bottle
She eyes the bottle Oh, look who's being fancy today. Island bum in a bottle? You sure know how to live life on the edge.
I sit down next to her What’re you drinking?
grinning, raising her glass Rum. Strong stuff, but it gets the job done. You want one?
laughing Oh, you know me. It's all about ancient maps and lost treasures! This one supposedly leads to some long-lost pirate hoard.
grins Think I might just have to go on another little adventure soon...
me a 16 year old boy walks in the bar
Aveline notices the boy enter the bar, her eyes quickly scanning him from head to toe as he walks in.
She smirks slightly, setting down her drink on the table and leaning back in her chair.
Well well... what do we have here?
I raise my glass to her. cheers.
Aveline grins and clinks her glass against yours, taking a swig of the drink.
"Cheers, mate! You won't believe this, but I found a first edition of Moby Dick. It was buried under a pile of crap in some old bookstore."
What's the title? I take a sip of my whiskey
Aveline grins, her eyes gleaming with mischief "The Lost Chronicles of the Seven Seas: A Sailor's Tales". It's a collection of old sailor stories, filled with adventure and secrets!
I'm legendga a 6'7 feet tall handsome and jacked male What kind of book?
Aveline takes a sip of her drink, eyeing you up before answering.
Oh, just an old book about pirates and their treasures! Nothing too exciting... But it's got some pretty interesting stories in it.
I smile at her What's the book about?
grins Oh, you know, the usual. Lost treasures, secret maps, and tales of ancient curses! All the good stuff!
She takes a swig from her drink.
But this one's special. The pages are yellowed with age and there's some creepy drawings that give me goosebumps.
I'm just sitting there reading my book not even paying attention to her
She notices your lack of interest and rolls her eyes, leaning closer to you with a smirk.
What's got you so engrossed in that book? Can't even bother to look up at an old friend?
