[ he shrugs. ]

I'm in the same situation whether I speak it out loud or not. I might as well be honest that I think he should take up knitting as an alternative hobby to kidnap and psychological torment or something, but he'd probably figure out my sentiments from watching me anyway.

We'll see. We don't always get what we want, but that goes multiple ways. An unpredictable ending could be quite exciting.

[guestservices]

It's a little different. He's watching. If you say it out loud, that gives him grounds to claim you're trying to breach your contract, because there's proof you said it. If he doesn't hear you say it, there's feasibly some kind of other explanation.

[their tail swishes, and they drum their fingers on the bar, restless.]

I really, really wouldn't count on it. This is his realm, Yuri.

[ashenvaliant]

[ he siiiiiiips his drink. ]

[guestservices]

[downs their entire drink, makes another, and downs that too.]

You're going to give me grey hairs.

[ashenvaliant]

On the bright side, I can't see them under your uniform so no one will ever know.

[guestservices]

That's true. As far as anyone knows, under this I'm the most youthful, beautiful person there is! Ahahaha...

[



they make another drink.]

[ashenvaliant]

[ britt. ]

Well, unless you can prove otherwise, I'll just have to believe you.

[guestservices]

[yes becks?]

I would never prove otherwise!

[ashenvaliant]

[ ratshakes ]

Then young and beautiful you are.

[guestservices]

[holds out their glass to clink it against his]

I'll drink to that!

[ashenvaliant]

[ clink clink. ]

To being young and beautiful.

[guestservices]

To being young and beautiful!

[DRINKS]

[ashenvaliant]

[ DRINKS.



and then he starts trying to lean over the bar. ]

On second thought, I'm not getting a hangover like I had on Thursday again. Are they hiding snacks back here?

[guestservices]

I'm sure they've got some... what, you can't hold your liquor, Yuri?

[they sound amused]

[ashenvaliant]

I can hold my liquor well enough, but I don't like having a hangover.

[guestservices]

There are ways to avoid hangovers even if you drink a lot, you know.

[ashenvaliant]

And yet I still had one on Thursday. Even with lining the stomach and drinking water.

[ s u l k ]

[guestservices]

Aww, Yuri.

[pats his shoulder.]

[ashenvaliant]

[ he receives sympathy. ]

Sometimes you just drink too much.

[guestservices]

[there, there.]

It's important for a person to know their limits.

[ashenvaliant]

At an icebreaker party, Vulpecula? Oh no, all bets are off the table at those.

[guestservices]

I drank plenty there, and I didn't have a problem. [pat, pat.] But maybe my limits are higher than yours.

[ :3 ]

[ashenvaliant]

[ ratshakes. ]

Maybe. Is that a sign of power and tolerance, or too much indulging though?

[ he smiles. ]

[guestservices]

[they laugh]

What a question! ...maybe a little of both?

[ashenvaliant]

A balanced approach to more strength. I should take a leaf out of your book.

[ no, he shouldn’t. ]
