The marine scoffed at the assertion that Emilia made about the man being able to carry his load by himself. Ryouto suspected he wouldn't be able to comfortably carry that much on his own and he suspected probably correctly that he was far stronger than that stranger. "You think he can carry that much? And I thought I was the one drinking here." He laughed for a moment before standing up and glancing to the stranger who was responding to his earlier question.
The man did in fact need help with his load. "Nor would I want to bear through this cold twice if need be." Something within Ryouto spoke up, the rules of politeness speaking through him above the drunken stupor. He smiled and bowed over to the man.
"My name is Ryouto, and this ..." he gestured toward his drinking companion for the day. "Is Emilia I believe?" He said his words a bit of a question. Stepping aside from his seat he stepped over to Veritte and grabbed the sack off of the man's shoulder. "Leave this to me." He said carefully setting the sack against his shoulder. "Mmm if you don't mind taking the barrel for him, Veritte should be able to lead us fairly unimpeded. Should speed up the process." He said to his still seated partner.
"You don't mind do you?" In actuality this was to make sure he didn't spend too much time walking about in the cold. Anything to speed it up was preferable to Ryouto. He was still lazy enough to try and optimize this samaritan's task.
"If you do I can manage to pay for a drink and a meal at this here establishment on return." He said throwing in some sort of reward. He didn't mind, the marine job left him flush enough for such an extravagance once in a while.
