"Absolutely, yes, certainly," he replied, trying not to put in foot in his mouth again. "I have a room upstairs."

“Oh, I was very much hoping to see into the castle, I never have, and there I could celebrate with you properly,” Barley said, squeezing his leg, “send you off in style”

"I don't have a castle..." he trailed off, confused, before his drunken brain caught up with him and he seemed to realize she meant Harroway Tower. "Oh, you mean Lord Roote's keep. Well, I, uh, don't exactly have access to it. Just the courtyard." Had he not been so deep in his cups, he probably would have been suspicious. "The rooms here are real nice though. Feather beds just like up in the castle. You'll feel like a right princess."

“Well, what more could a girl want?” Sheasked, taking hold of his hand and grabbing as many of his wine bottles as she could.

To say the squire led Barley to his room would be generous. It would be more accurate to say she helped him in his current state, but after a few stumbles and close calls they made it without injury or incident. To Simon's credit, the rooms were indeed nice, a goose down four poster bed dominating the room. After a day of heavy drinking and whoring it was is notable disarray, with a fair share of empty wine bottles strewn about. It hardly looked fit for a princess but to a commoner it would likely impress.

Barley smiled at him and moved closer, pressing her torso against him and looking up at him. She slipped a hand between them and pressed it against him.
"Are you not scared, if you are doing some kind of dangerous mission?"

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it," the squire recited, clearly plagiarizing it from some book or song. When most commoners couldn't read, passing off trite sayings as your own was one advantage of nobility. "But that is one more reason to celebrate tonight, for there may not be a tomorrow," he started to move her towards the bed.

"Not only are you a strong and seasoned warrior, but a poet too," Barley said to the squire and let him walk her back, she thought about seducing him and then trying to get him to take her into the castle, but decided to not risk him falling asleep on her there. "This does not seem like a proper place for a hero to enjoy himself the day before he becomes a knight though" She said, stopping with a sigh.

"You don't like the room?" the young man asked, self conscious, apparently not having reached the stage where a noble realizes the opinion of a commoner doesn't matter. "I was assured by the proprietor it is the finest room in the finest tavern in the city."

"Oh no, the room is lovely," Barley she said, "I have never been in a room finer," it was the truth, "I just think and occasion such as this should be marked somehow, with something more unique, no? I should think you deserve it"

"Whether it is a unique experience seems more your realm of responsibility than the room's," he replied, drunkenly fumbling at her outfit with clumsy fingers. "But I'm open to suggestions."

"Besides, if you are to be knighted, surely this is your last chance to be a bit naughty" She tried a different tactic, "Why don't we go out for a bit, and I can show you how fun it can be to fuck with some added excitement. Think of it as a sort of game?" She suggested, pressing back up against him and kissing him hotly, holding out more wine for him to drink.

He returned his kisses with the clumsy eagerness of a youth and the sloppiness of a drunk before drinking the wine. In his excitement he choked a little bit and began coughing violently, a bit dribbling down his chin as he regained his composure, a paragon of martial valor in the flesh.
"I like games," he nodded, teetering a bit before catching his balance. It was unlikely he would get far in such an inebriated state without help, but he was also too drunk to know that.

"Why don't you and I head into the castle ground, and there I can show you a very fun time, and the excitement is all the more fun," she added, trying to subtly fumble through her bag for a sedative in case this line backfired on us. "The game would be best if we were not caught, but even if we walk in the front, I guarantee you'll get a happy ending."

"Only ever been in the front door," he said, before laughing as if he'd made a witty joke, one that likely only made sense in his drunken state and was likely lewd. "Can get you to the courtyard and stables," he slurred, head lolling to the side a bit. "Could saddle you up. Ride hard and put away wet," he laughed again, immaturity of youth and copious amounts of wine not the best combination.
