"It worked, didn't it?" Duke didn't really notice the others that could have seen the punch but they were way too focused on the party to ruin it by reporting a little brawl. When they went down the hall, it was obvious that Chino wanted everyone who stepped into his home to know how much wealth he had. Being a ranger, he was by no means an artist but it was one of those paintings where it gave off the aurora that it was worth millions. It had to be only a little longer until they reached the office but Trys got sidetracked and Duke couldn't blame her.
She shoved him to the side, stepping into the bathroom as he was just caught staring at the shiny and reflective golden toilet, it being the first he had ever seen in his life. He had a feeling that it wasn't just fake but made of real gold, certainly giving off that feeling of royalty. A few moments later, Trys exited with a rejuvenated look on her face that made Duke laugh out loud. "All better now?" With that done, they quickly continued further until they managed to find the office.
Somehow, Trys found a wall that stood out from the rest and pressed into it. It gave away shortly after and opened up, revealing a secret office that must have personally been Chino's, not one that was just decor for guests. With their request for artifacts, they got more then they bargained for, multiple ones of different rarity were shown off in glass cases all along the wall. Duke couldn't help but let out a quiet whistle, the wall shutting behind them and leaving the two in the office. Spotting Trys by the alcohol, he shuffled his way over there as he was captivated by the liquor as well.
Without thinking, he reached for the oldest one of the bunch and pulled it down from the shelf. Duke twisted it around in his hand for a bit before popping off the cork, most likely opening it for the first time in it's lifetime. With a quick sniff, his eyes widened fully, "Goddamn." Again without hesitation, he lifted the bottle to his mouth and took down two gulps before finally pulling it back. It wasn't like any alcohol someone could get off the street. He instantly felt it go through his entire body like a heatwave, making each of nerves come alive and the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. "Holy shit. Try it."
It was obvious that the bottle had been drunk from, ruining the price and possibly the entire thing for Chino whenever he discovered it. Duke had no qualms about that and he definitely wanted Trys to experience what he just did. It was probably the most expensive liquor the two of them would ever taste again.
