It was always awkward when Osric was feeling like staying in for the night but his friends wanted to go out. Rickard in particular was never one to give up on his friends and leave them alone. Instead, he always guilt tripped his friends until they decided to go out. So, here he was, astride his horse on the way to the local tavern with a sullen look on his face. He could never just have a quiet night with friends like his. But he supposed it was better than sitting home alone. Better for his social life, anyway. As soon as they got to the tavern, he tethered his horse to the post outside and gazed at Rickard, stretching. "Why'd you have to drag me out here?" he asked tiredly, though smiling behind his gruff exterior.

Rickard was felt quite different than his friend did at the moment. His mind was full of images of drunken song and easy women, ripe for the taking, and Osric would be just the man to enjoy it with! From outside the tavern, he could already here the Jostin trio belting out a hearty set of verses from his favorite pub tune, and he could hardly believe they were missing it!
"Osric, if I didn't bring you along you'd be moping around the house writing poetry. Think of the ale! Not to mention Darcy Cosgroach. She' been eyein' you up all week and you could be smashing in her gate if you'd come out with me more often."
With little more patience in his body, he gestured towards the thick wooden door.

Osric rolled his eyes at Rickard, grinning despite himself. "I don't write poetry, and you know it." The girl he mentioned had been eyeing him for some time but he wasn't really interested in her; she seemed a bit too easy. He liked a challenge. The pair made their way inside and Osric quickly ordered two ales, handing one to Rickard and taking a sip of one himself. Still somewhat uncomfortable in these situations, he looked to the taller man to see what he would do.

Rickard couldn't have been happier that they were finally going in, his palms slapping eagerly on the bar as the bartender brought over their drinks. He took his mug in hand, ready to start the night off right.
"Here's to getting smashed!"
It wasn't much of a toast, but it was all he could really think of on the spot. He thrust the loaded down mug towards his friend once before bringing it against his mouth and downing the contents in one go. This was going to be a good night, and he was just hooping that his friend could keep up with him. If he weren't interested in that lass on the other side of the bar, then he'd take her for himself. Fairs fair, after all!

"To getting smashed," Osric replied with a grudging grin. He downed a good portion of the ale before gazing around. As a knight, as well as a werebeast, he was always looking for trouble to stop. It was his duty as a knight to stop fights and all that. Unfortunately, it seemed like it was a relatively amicable evening at the tavern, so he turned back toward the bar and looked up at Rickard. "So, got your eye on any of the lasses here?"

Rickard laughed at his friends question. Was he serious? Of course he had his eyes on all of the lasses here! Well... Save for the fat old harpy who sat in the corner mumbling about elves and dragons all day. He truly wondered if his friend even knew who he was sometimes.
"Aye, and I'll have the room by tonight. What are we even supposed to be doing tomorrow? I honestly have no idea."
It was a bit irresponsible, but he knew Osric would understand. He was the type to always be concerned with when they were supposed to be awake and what not. Maybe he should get into that sort of thinking himself... He'd been more careful as a page, but as the years had dragged on he had often found himself sleeping in.

Osric rolled his eyes with a good-natured grin. Always so confident, Rickard was. "Aye, I suppose you will. We're supposed to be on guard duty; Queen Dufour is holding court, I believe. So you'll need to be up early. And shine your armor." How Osric had become the motherly friend, he didn't know, but here he was, warning Rickard to look his best for duty in the morning. "It's part of the reason I didn't want to come out tonight. I don't want to be hungover and protecting the nobles from imminent doom."

Rickard rolled his eyes at his overly concerned friend. He always worried about these types of things. He doubted that anyone would notice if two guards weren't present at a certain doorway during the day, save for their commander. He could count the days that the commander had actually taken the time to inspect the guard posts on a single hand as well.
"Whatever you say, Osric. I guarantee you we'll be back in bed before the sun rises, don't you worry."
He let his large mitt bounce of the bar a few times to signal the bartender for another drink before looking back towards his friend.
"What have you heard around the castle then. Anything interesting?"

Osric gave a little scoff. "I hope I'll be back in bed quite a bit before then. I want a good night's sleep." It didn't particularly matter if he sounded like a stick in the mud; he cared more about his duties as a knight.
He finished up his ale as well and gestured for one more. "Anything interesting.... well, since the king died, the prince and his fiancee are getting married any day now. I expect we'll be expected to be in attendance. With armor shined once more." He gave a laugh. "Then, they'll be coronated. All that is rather common knowledge, though, I would say. Any good gossip on your end?"
