Tales from the Blue Dragon Inn Part 3
After the meeting with Kyung, Zuko needed to clear his mind with several pitchers of cheap swill. Cheap swill lately has become his dirty little secret. Once and awhile, he would sneak out of palace to enjoy his little vice. It wasn't so much for the taste of the ale, but being around real people. Lately, people in the palace have been driving him nuts. At least these people are real! He is sure. Mai is suspicious of his secret getaways, but he needs this time to himself.
Zuko legendary love of cheap swill leads him to his favorite hole in the wall bar, Blue Dragon Inn. The den of thugs and lowlife know him as Lee The Party King a Earth Kingdom merchant from Omashu. Zuko loves the thrill of being incognito and drinking till he passes out. It makes himself feel really alive.
Zuko walks up to the loud noise bar and smiles as a pair of drunken hooligans toss a man on to the muddy street. From the smell, it seemed like the poor sap drank too much and soiled himself, so he takes long strides around him, and pushes past the now laughing drunkards. He walks into the bar. The air is thick with smoke, but the atmosphere was surely alive with the sounds of real people. Zuko walks to his normal table by the stage and sits down. It doesn't take long for the waitress to find him. She rests a hand on his shoulder and says, "Well Master Lee welcome back to the Blue Dragon Inn. Shall I set you up with the normal. A shot of fire water and a pitcher of our finest?"
Feeling a hand on his shoulder, he looks up at her, however, he notices her shirt was cut much lower today as usual. He smiles and says loudly, so she can hear of noise, "I am feeling adventurous today Ming bring me a order of pork wantons and fried dumplings."
Ming gives him a look of disgust that he actually braving the food here, but says with smile, "It will be right out Hun." She gives his shoulder a gently squeeze and walks away.
Suddenly, the bar quiets down and Zuko notices a few of the female patrons weave through the crowd to the tables by the stage and sit regardless if their was people their before them. Zuko is surprised that two or three of them sat at his table. Politely asking if he needed the other chairs around the table. Giggling to themselves, Zuko overhears them talking about a cute pipa performer named Fong Li.
