Stonemasons gossip...

[ST Alex]

Alfonse the Stonemason, and his boon companion Carloti, are drinking at the bar…

“Man, where did you get those scratches, Al?”
“*hic* I *hic* actually, I don’t know. From the quarry, I would imagine.”
Boon companion gives the other man a strange look.
“We haven’t worked in four days, Al. And by the way, where have you been all that time? That’s where you got those scratches, I’d wager.”
Al wipes his forehead and downs the rest of his ale. “I was really drunk already and not paying attention to where she said she was staying.”
A dark look. “Where did you go?”
“I think she said Maverick’s. I remember thinking it was…really dark in there.”
