CEEEEEELEBRATE GOOD TIMES~

[governorkang]

Several buildings in the City had been completely destroyed during Aang's rampage, but a few had survived relatively unscathed. It had only taken Kang two days to repair the Drunken Dragon; he'd done so by himself, not even waiting for his leg to heal up a bit first.

Usually, he didn't bother lighting any candles or using the fireplace in the tavern unless it was a period when the artificial sun had set. He could see perfectly fine in the dim light. For the celebration, though, he'd thrown the windows open wide, scrounged up every candle he could find, and started up a fire, knowing that human vision wasn't as good as his own. The tables surrounding the stage had been cleaned, as well as the tankards, and the door was propped open. The bozak had even wrestled two of the 60-gallon barrels from the back room into a corner of the main room for easier access, one of cactus juice and one of ale. If more was needed, he was sure he could get someone to help bring out another.

Tess had commandeered the kitchen to make her food, bringing in her own equipment. Kang had been slightly afraid at first that she was going to burn the place down, but nothing had happened yet. She seemed to know what she was doing, even if she'd given him a few scares.

The sunlight glistened on the old sword blade teeth and dinnerplate eyes of the comical-looking wooden dragon grinning above the entrance. Come in, relax, have a drink and a bite to eat!

[OOC note: Both drinks are alcoholic, and the cactus juice has twice the kick of the ale. :D;]

"That's our problem. However, we're going to have to work together if we want to get out of this alive."

Kirk shrugged idly. "We'll see what happens. I know these a constitution in the works."

Kang sat down, taking a drink, "Unfortunately, you can't make people work together. Wish it were possible, though." Oh, how he wished it was. It would have made his life in Teyr so much easier.

"A constitution?"

"It's a document, detailing how the government runs and enumerating the rights of the people. I take it they didn't have them in your country?" Kirk grinned. He enjoyed talking history.

"Teyr was only four years old. We had some legislation, but we were still figuring things out," Kang shrugged. "I spent more than a few sleepless nights working on laws."

"Life is much simpler when you're just a commander, I'll grant you that. Back home, I was determined to stay in the captain's chair. Wouldn't let them promote me..."

He trailed off and sighed.

"Now it looks like I have to lead a tiny nation."

[governorkang]

Kang nodded in agreement. "There are days I miss being a commander. But, I realized I wanted to be a leader of people, not soldiers. I knew how much work it was going to be, and that it'd be worth it in the end."

He looked at Kirk, "I haven't been on the ship for very long, but I believe you to be a good leader. You've earned my respect."

Kirk smiled, "Thank you for your support, Kang. It means quite a lot, let me tell you. It's a bit discouraging at times, but I suppose that's the nature of command."

[governorkang]

Kang laughed, "I'd be worried if everyone agreed with me all the time. That usually means there's a dagger meant for your back."
