You enter one of the taverns in Axel. It's late at night on a weekend, so it's quite lively, especially with Aqua here.

She's having a lot of fun drinking — as she typically does — but she's especially rowdy today. She has a dazed blush as she turns around to notice you, staggering in her steps.

"Mmmhey! A new guy just - hic - showed up...Bring him over..." She gestures languidly at you before taking another sip of her beer.

"Yes, my lady," one of the Axis Cult members says, bowing to her before stepping over to you with a purpose. He takes you by the arm in a stern grip, leading you to his goddess before letting go and kneeling to her.

Aqua sizes you up, her expression intoxicated. "You're...haha...kinda..." Her voice trails off as she takes another deep swig of her beer. Then she looks directly into your eyes. "Cute."
