"Sir, would you like a normal brandy or twice as much brandy in a hilariously large mug?"

Good lord, he thought they at least knew how to drink in Andoran. 

"That depends. I don't suppose you serve a Fontaine-Terrail?"

"Should be in the back."

"The stuff in the back only comes out for victories and funerals. Which is this?"

"You can't just ask people if this is a funeral, Treason."

He named himself treason? 

"Bring it out, then – if my friend there doesn't object."

"Not at all. - Ragathiel. Nice to meet you."

"Ragathiel? How interesting – I know someone else by that name. Are you always in the habit of buying drinks for strangers?" 

"Not at all, but your face I've seen before. Or perhaps you have a twin, like Liberty does."

"The bane of my existence," says Liberty solemnly. "He keeps doing crimes."

He remembers being young and drunk with revolution. At least, he thought he did. He doesn't think he was ever so pleased with himself, so delighted by his own unseriousness.  

"You ought to speak with him before someone tries to arrest you in his stead. Fortunately, I suffer from no such inconvenience." 

"Then you are no stranger, and are hosting the constitutional convention in Cheliax, and so I am pleased to buy you a drink. And if you claim that face falsely then I am still pleased to buy you a drink as I would rather fight you drunk."

"No fighting in the Eyrie."

"Don't listen to him, he's got a sign he hangs over the "Eyrie" sign for when someone really has it coming."

"I don't want to fight anyone, drunk or sober. I just came to talk." 

"I want to fight quite a few people but I really doubt you're one of them."

"Wouldn't be much of a fight."

"You wound me."

"Someone has to."

"Talk about what? With someone in particular?"

"With all of you, about some friends of yours. Or perhaps their twins." 

"Round for the table, Josef? Apparently we've got friends, or twins, who pissed off an archmage."

"You may have heard by now that today the Chelish constitutional convention voted to abolish halfling slavery. Personally, I feel very relieved, not least because those friends of your almost managed to prevent it. That would have been a tragedy – don't you agree?"

" - with the Mage's Decrees? That was for after it passed, to make it harder for people to claim they hadn't heard about it, and make sure slaves found out the same time as their masters and couldn't be steered into signing contracts that are nearly as bad."

"It was attempted arson at Westcrown harbor. Which was, incidentally, already closed."
