After drinking, moderately, at least for everyone else. I just kept to cocoa. Glynda mostly kept to water, but she had a few drinks here and there, probably caused by our teasing. Speaking of Glynda.

Me: "I just remembered. Glynda, you paid Mr. Y/N 5,000 Lien (Ⱡ) extra, and said it was because he did a majority of the work. Did he take out most of the Beowolves?"

Glynda: "*After a moment to collect her thoughts* Yes, Professor Ozpin, when we were ambushed, I used my semblance to take two Beowolves out, and by the time I turned around to assist Y/N, he had already taken out four Beowolves, an Alpha and three more that were stalking towards us. Quite efficiently two, he didn't waste ammo. From what I could observe during the fight, and from when he was talking with us earlier, his weapons appeared to be two heavy, high caliber, pistols. Or at least to him, probably considered as hand cannons to others. He took the Alpha Beowolf out by stabbing it in the jaw, and blasting it's head off."

Glynda: "After that, he took the secondary pistol and headshot the three Beowolves I mentioned from before. He suddenly dashed backwards, stopping in front of me, as he seemed to sense the second Alpha tried to flank him, I took a third one out using my semblance and nearby debris, such as stick, to forcibly impale it. Y/N leapt over the Alpha, before it had time to reorient itself, and blasted it's head off, like the other ones. I noticed that he had turned towards me while holstering his main pistol, just before firing in my direction. However he wasn't aiming at me, he aimed just past me, saving me from the last Beowolf that snuck up behind me, while we were fighting the others."

Me: "I see, so while he may have lied about being a mercenary, I assume, he did indeed prove that he is quite capable on the battlefield, as small as that particular one was, at least."

Glynda: "I have the feeling if he was by himself, he would've been just fine. I don't know if I'm overthinking or not, but I get the gut feeling he was holding back, as he didn't use the blades on his pistols, aside from when he executed that Alpha Beowolf."

Peter: "Hmmm, something I noted myself, was that even though he appears to be quite good with his body language. I'm sure some of you may have also noticed, but despite appearing relaxed, I noted that he also looked ready for combat at a moments notice as well."

Doctor Oobleck: "*Looking toward me* No offense, sir. *Looking back towards the group* I'm not sure if this is the best way to say this, but I also noted the look in his eyes. They have a similar shine to them, much like Professor Ozpin. What I mean by that is, they appear darkened, or dull, upon first glance, but a specific 'shimmer' or 'shine' of hope can be seen in his eyes."

Doctor Oobleck: "*After a moment of thought* Like, like- like he's almost tired of fighting, yet knows he has to keep going. I'm not quite sure just how old Mr. Y/N is, his overall appearance shouts 'youthful, raring, adonis', yet it's like his eyes, if you believe they are windows to the soul, almost betray his physical appearance. Like you can almost tell that he's much older than he may say, or his appearance may suggest."

Me: "That much is true... I noticed that as well, but hearing Doctor Oobleck confirm as much. The same with Peter's observation about his body language." "Well, it is getting rather late. And it appears, *fake coughing, as I smile smugly, trying to ignore the glare I can see forming on Glynda's face* "I have to be ready to potentially receive Miss Goodwitch's Boyfriend's application to Beacon."
