*since he's just used up his quota of "sirs" for the day, breaks with formality for a moment (a rarity, to be sure)* Ecthelion, really, take the downtime. Be drunk if you want to be. *lightly* Just don't come out till you're sober again.
*steps back and tosses off a jaunty salute* On that note, I'm off. See you in a few days.
