[Drunk or not, it's a sentiment Ren agrees with in some manner, and he holds a hand against his chin in a thoughtful little pose.] Oh? I thought it sounded pretty true, myself. It's hard to remember people if they don't make an effort to make themselves memorable.
[Says the guy who routinely uses just that fact to enrage the people who want him to remember them most.] Maybe it's time to go back to the hotel before you get too sagely~
[Or before he says something he can't take back. The reason Ren's avoided getting actually drunk so hard is because he definitely doesn't want to be showing that kind of face so early.]

You can be both! Then people won't expect it when you suddenly unleash the powers of the Hells on them.
[He places a hand over his heart.] And don't forget, as your Little Demon, I'm an expert on these things.

Depends on if the gods are judgmental. Back in the Empire, they picked what gods were fine to worship and if you didn't worship those gods, you were tossed in prison. Now that judgment I am glad to be free of.
[He tosses back another swig of the hot mess of a concoction he's been drinking.] Mine is perfectly acceptable, but other people... Freedom of religion is just basic decency. I have no idea why it's such a thorn in their arses for people to pick socially unacceptable gods, but... That's all gone now.
[he grins over his tankard, a mischievous glint in his scarlet eyes.] I like that kind of freedom. Not just with gods, but with strict rules, in general. I can't wait to press my luck... within reason. I don't intend to get arrested, but I intend to have some fun with fewer restrictions.

[It's part of his charm!! It's also part of his charm that he is willing to pretend like he does.
Especially since he... totally feels like he just gave really good advice. SCORE ONE FOR TEAM HIGH WISDOM.] It's an underrated trait. There's just too many sour people in the world.

[Yeah, the last thing Molly wants is to start getting a little too truthy. He nods, stands up, wobbles on his feet a bit, and then gives Ren an affectionate pat on the shoulder as he passes.] Excellent idea. You've certainly made an impression, for what it's worth.
[He might have started mumbling something else, but he cuts himself off to yell towards the bartender.] My darling! One more for the road, if you would, please!
[He might have started mumbling something else, but he cuts himself off to yell towards the bartender.] My darling! One more for the road, if you would, please!
[Ren smiles at the hand on his shoulder, laughing a little as he leans back and then stands up himself. He'd been on his way out when he stopped to talk to Molly anyway, so he might as well keep heading that way.]
Mmm, you'd better hope that's not the the last one you really regret, right? You're already getting distracted~ [Judging by the fact that he'd sounded as if he was going to say something before shouting to the bartender.]
Oh well. I guess I won't be around to see it anyway. [He winks as he starts to step back in the general direction of the door.]

[He puffs out his cheeks and exhales.] To be honest? [Not that he's ever really that.] I feel like there's more people who have than there are who haven't. A lot of people simply just don't know how to have a good time and enjoy what moments they're given.
You're very welcome. [He tips his drink in her direction, and winks.] Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a very lovely bartender who desperately wants to surprise me.
[An interesting contrast to his own world, where there were only the Six gods, who had all but slept until recently -- but their influence on the world was not something to be questioned, especially when they had awoken from their slumber less-than-amicably, in some cases.
The rest, though? He can relate to that. Perhaps in a way more extreme than what Molly currently realizes.]
So. You're a troublemaker; and therefore, a kindred spirit.

Is it that obvious? [He sounds utterly delighted at being called what he is.] You definitely struck me as the kind of person who needs a little bit of chaos to break up the monotony. Be the chaos you want to see in the world- that's my motto. And it's a good motto to have.
[He's getting drunker, which means he's getting louder on top of talking fast, but people talking about chaos when they're that drunk are generally people you edge away from and kind of snicker about.]

[He snorts.] Maybe for some people. I never plan anything farther than a day in advance. Too much could happen that'll tear all of that to shit, and then you just have to plan ahead again, and so on and so forth. [He flicks a wrist flamboyantly.] That's not for me. I see futures, I set people on the right paths to get to those futures, but the rest is just enjoying the ride.
Oh certainly. When you've lived as long as I have, life tends to become dull when entrenched too much in routine.
[He leans forward again, pressing his elbows into the flat surface between them.]
So if you ever need someone to help you cause a little trouble? Well. Know that I'm here.

| | [She sits back and thinks about that, her arms crossed.] Okay, but what if you wanted to plan a party? You'd have to take time to make sure you could have a place, and that there'd be enough food, and you'd have to let everyone know that, y'know, there'd be a party so that they could come. That takes more than a day! |
[Molly shifts so that he's leaning on the table too, mimicking his position, and putting them fairly close. Molly is all about personal space invasion. People are bound to be fucking awful can rarely handle someone getting in their space.]
And if you need someone willing to make a damn fool of himself for a bit of fun, you can find me where the ale is at.... Or anywhere, really. It's not that difficult to pick me out of a crowd.

[Why are you harshing his groove here, You.]
That's fair. I've never actually planned a party. I just crash the ones that are already there.

You know? I think I would. Something to consider for the future. I suddenly have a lot of time on my hands. And afterwards, I'll add "walking contradiction" to my list of titles.
You're absolutely right, and you are incredibly wise for someone of your age.
[It delights him, as... so many things do.]
