The grey cloaked man stopped and noticed something as he walked back to the building; that he might need something that is a lot stronger than just beer; after a moment of deliberation The grey cloaked man found out exactly what he wanted, a bottle of vodka; he had only ever drunk vodka once before, and it was at a fancy restaurant where they add a little of it to the top of a drink and set it on fire, it was worth losing his mustache, but there was a problem, he knew that none of the shops here "sold" Vodka, or at the very least they wouldn't sell it to him, but he had a lead.
Earlier today, Leon had talked about someone named Cid, and how one would have to try and convince them to give them some whiskey; this was the only lead the grey cloaked man had, and while there was absolutely nothing that would prove that this "Cid" would have any Vodka with them, finding them seemed like a better idea than simply moping around with the engineer, the android, and the knived nut.
And so the grey cloaked man went in search of Cid.
(I randomly ask shopkeepers if they knew where Cid was)
