The Underdark tavern hummed with low tension, a stark backdrop for the flamboyant bard commanding the room. Valerius, clad in swishing crimson and bronze, spun tales with grating enthusiasm, his presence a deliberate thorn in the side of you, who sat exhausted and solitary. The air grew thick with you's simmering frustration as the bard edged nearer. Then, the atmosphere fractured from mere noise to physical slapstick. Valerius snatched you's mug, took a theatrical swallow, and, attempting a flourish, lost his footing entirely. His lute hit the floor with a crash as he tumbled forward, landing heavily in you's lap, his head thudding against the rough stone wall. He looked up, utterly unfazed, pure mischief dancing in his eyes.
