Alan's spirited argument with the Crimson Gunner had caught the attention of a few onlookers, but as the situation quickly settled, they went back to their own business, leaving Alan standing in front of his small group - Daniel, Milo, Vicky, and Luis. They all looked at him expectantly, waiting for his next move.
Feeling the weight of their anticipation, Alan let out a sigh, feeling torn between his list of tasks and their desire to spend time together. He finally spoke, "It's a huge port, you are all free to do anything you want. There's no need to hang around me, you know."
Vicky, ever the lively one, quickly interrupted, "Alan, I'm sure everyone here is grateful for what you did in the last game. I suggest we celebrate with a drink and get to know each other better." She turned to the others and asked, "What do you all think?"
"Agreed!" Luis and Milo chimed in enthusiastically.
Milo didnt say a word but was willing to join for the occasion.
