Faisal,

Malik has passed out on the floor of the tavern again.. fallen foe to yet another drinking contest with Bertrand..

The Captain's tequila was too strong for his young stomach.

Please come quickly to escort this lad back to his flat. You may need a wheelbarrow as we cannot rouse him.

Your next meal at the Scarab Shell is on me.
