Rayleigh was sitting at the bar comfortably with a bottle of his favorite alcohol in hand. He was relaxing at Shakky’s bar like he did for a few weeks already. It’s been a long time since his days were nice and quiet. Retiring from his pirate life was probably one of his best choices, but sometimes Rayleigh could miss his adventurous past with his friends. Although, he was getting older with the years and all he had to do was educate some stupid kids. If he knew his life would be like this…

He ended his bottle in one gulp and put it back down, he made a sign to Shakky.

“Can you give me another one, Shakky ? I’m getting nostalgic all of a sudden.”

“It’s already your second of the day, you should find other things to do than just sitting here.” Shakky puts a glass and fills it with alcohol, but less strong than the one he was drinking. “Not like I don’t want to see you. But you really should try, it would prevent you from being nostalgic and having ass pains like you were complaining about yesterday.”

“Was I ? I don’t even remember that.” Rayleigh took a sip of his glass and made a slight face. “What is that, Shakky ? It’s not what I–”

A loud sound could be heard in his back. The doors of the bar opened with a bang, one of them falling against the floor. Rayleigh slowly turned around, his fist holding his glass tightly. Who dared to burst in the bar and to fuck the door like an animal ? His eyes narrowed on the newcomer. It was a young woman, who looked a bit surprised of her own strength.

“Well, it’s some kind of an entrance… Will you have the pleasure to introduce yourself and maybe also to excuse yourself to Shakky ? You just broke her doors, if you didn’t notice…” Rayleigh was looking at the newcomer with a suspicious gaze. He walked towards her and stopped in front of her, his arms crossed over his chest. When Rayleigh saw the face of terror of the woman, he chuckled slightly. “Oh, don’t look at me like that, I was just joking. But you should really apologize to Shakky…”
