Mousse stepped into the bar and waved to the bartender. He was a regular here since finding it several days after coming to Japan. The liquer was passable atleast and since the cheap saki was pretty weak he could have a couple of drinks without worrying too much about a hangover.
He tried to avoid those at all cost since the night when one of the other regulars in the business suite decided to get an expensive bottle of old saki and share it with the people sitting next to him in order to celebrate the birth of his son.
Mousse still wasn't sure why the guy was there instead of with his family but the combination of saki and cigars left him with his first and (hopefully) last hangover. Besides he never really came here to drink, just to get away from everyone for a little while and forget about the woman that kept tearing his heart in two everytime he saw her.
Quickly sitting down at the bar he nodded his thanks to Kuroda as he took a small sip of the weak saki and looked around the bar. Looked to be a different crowd tonight, not so many businessman or any other group in general though he thought he recognized a few of the faces from the local highschool. Curious he looked around to see how many students might be getting plastered tonight.
Of course this close scrutiny of the bars patrons eventually lead him to discover...
"Ranma?"
Said person raised his head and looked blearily at Mousse as if trying to make out his face which wasn't much of a surprise given how dimm the interior of the bar was, most of the illumination came from the neon light and the few working lamps on the tables set against the wall. Seeing Ranma about o take a sip from his cup Mousse quickly took it away from him and just wondered for a moment how drunk Ranma would have to be for him to take something out of his hands.
Mousse turned to Kuroda. "How much has he had to drink?"
The bartender gave him an odd look before replying. "Thats his first cup. I didn't think his tolerance would be that low either, guess when your heartbroken it just hits ya harder."
Wondering at this statement he coaxed the story out of Ranma and listened silently as Ranma lost all traces of his (then apparent) drunkedness and quietly told his story up till the time he entered the bar. When Ranma was finished he just looked away, unintentionally giving Mousse some needed time to think.
That Shampoo liked to sleep around had become apparent to Mousse sometime after he slept with her. That Ranma's fiance's liked to sleep around but with other wemon.......that was completely new to him. Then there were the undertones to Ranma's story that suggested the fiances were considering adding 'Ranma-chan' to their group.
He wasn't sure what to do.
