Heavy foot steps would marr the alabaster mounds beneath his feet, the sound of crunching snow being the only thing to be heard in the longest time, almost driving him mad. It had truly begun to feel as if Momochi were to be cursed to wander amongst the lonely critters that pranced about the snow, leaving their little prints as a token of their existence in such a harsh terrain. The cold was biting, but Momochi was no coward and would not once falter as his steps grew more and more rapid in order to create some form of heat for his already barely clothed body. The snow fall about him was light as the sun seemed to vanish, hidden behind the batallion of gray giants who ruled with unrivaled supremacy below the heavens; this all greatly unlike the scenery of the warm and wet Mizu No Kuni.
Relief would envelope his being like the thin arms of a beloved as his eyes would make out a building in what seemed to be the heart of this desolate land. His pace would greatly pick up, as if a deity breathed the life back into him. From his fast walk he would break into a sprint as each step brought him closer and closer to the abode in front of him. Time was nothing that could stand in front of him, for eventually the word "Tavern" became legible to his intense squinting. Almost gingerly he pushed the doors open, an overbearing creek coming along to draw attention as he was greeted by the warmth radiating from the large fire and the idle stares of a dew. The genuine smile worn upon his lips faded immediately as he made his way to the bar unhindered by the darker atmosphere that perfumed the bar like cheap perfumes; all he wanted at this point was a drink.
And that's what he got.
'Twas a relief, the warm taste of such a potent alcohol running down his throat, a minuscule amount escaping from the corner of his lip and sliding down his his face has he chugged the beverage--and many after it--as if he hadn't had drunken water in days. With his fat wallet, one drink became many as as a feint glow of red decorated both cheeks, but as he consumed more and more not only would the color of his cheeks change, but his attitude in tow. The smile he had vanquished earlier in hopes to retain some maturity among the myriad of strangers he could fight no longer as it forced itself upon the edge of his lips, his posture more relaxed and sloppy than before. He would look to the side, his eyes nearly shut as a toothy grin was given to the girl diva-blond not far from him.
"Hiya! Ahahaa!"
He exclaimed merrily, twisting his hips in order to place his elbows on the counter and lean back, he would knock his drink like a buffoon over-- it's ok, he was feeling like a fresh glass or two anyway! Oh, the wonders of alcohol!
