The Entertainer/The Looney Horse - Julius
Julius stumble upon a bar. Looking at the sign, it was a horse holding a beer looking like a dumb idiot. It made the boy laugh before stepping inside. He was expecting a jolly place, instead it was your average looking bar. A few men were drinking, one Guard off duty playing with some people. A few looks came to the boy, but none really care. Going to the counter, he took some effort to climb up a seat, then call up the barman. It was a fat, red furred man.
"Hey, no kids in the bar." "Even if i have some money?" With one hand he reached his inner pockets and took out a gold coin and set it on the table. "One beer please!" He ask with a smug face. The man gave him an angry look, taking the piece and examining it before looking back at the boy. "This is a gold piece." His expression softened, pocketing the money and went to fetch a big mug for the boy, filling it to the brim and passing one to him. He then took a waiting stance, examining the boy. "There. Let's see if you can down it."
Julius took up the drink, drank it and... "PFAT!" He spat the drink down. "WHAT IS THAT? PISS?" Everyone in the bar had their eyes locked on the screaming boy, then laughed out. Even the barman was laughing it out. "No no, kid! You don't get it. You didn't even drink it at all!" The man slapped down a few times the counter, trying to stop himself from laughing. He shook his head, then explained to Julius. "Look, you take it all up and you'll feel good later. You're a kid, you're not meant to drink this shit." He took up the gold coin to his face. "But you better make the most of it." He did a little magic trick, making the coin 'disappear' in Julius' face. "Because you won't be taking that coin back!" "HOW DID YOU DO THAT?" "Bartender's secret! Now finish your drink or leave. A bar's no place for kids like you."
Julius groaned, and looks at his beer.
