L15. Hiccup! Drunken Master

Npc : Su

As you take the Fruit Tea out of your backpack, you smell a thick fragrance
wafting through the air.

"Haha! Now that's the smell of heaven! How did you know that I'm partial to
Fruit Tea? Hehe, President Cheung must have
told you. When he shared his private stash with you,
I bet you experienced the joys of being Pleasantly Buzzed. If you
downed enough Fruit Tea, I could start teaching you the way of the dazing fist.
But first, you have to do a favor for me."

Su's expression is a little strange,
but his usual smile comes back quickly. You suspect that there's
more here than meets the eye.

"It's no big deal. But disciple Hallyn drank a bit too much,
did some not-so-nice things, and ran away.
Please find him and bring him back. Everyone's had a bit too much to drink one time or another and done something they regret.
There's no need for him to feel bad about it. I'm kinda worried about the
little fella."

"Have you found Hallyn? He didn't say anything about me, did he?"

You wonder why Su would ask you such a bizarre
question.

"It's nothing! Nothing at all! If you find Hallyn, tell him
to come back posthaste! If he says anything strange,
you should just ignore it, okay?"

Npc : Su

You see Su nearby, chugging a bottle of President Cheung's tea. When he sees you,
he quickly hides the bottle and stares at you in
a drunken stupor.

"Hiccup! What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?
I didn't steal President Cheung's tea. I totally didn't come back to
Saphael to flee from my
master because I drank him out of house and home!"

It seems that the expression "in thea veritas"
has some merit. Neither Su nor Hallyn can keep their mouths shut
after a sip of tea.

After sobering up a bit, you tell Su where you found Hallyn and how he's doing.
After giving Su the Fruit Tea,
he teaches you the way of the dazing fist as a token
of his appreciation.
