To being young and beautiful.

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. ]

[guestservices]

[they seem extremely amused by that]

Maybe you should!

[ashenvaliant]

It sounds like a good idea until I show up to trial or execution hungover.

[guestservices]

...

[thinking about it...]

That would be a terrible idea, yes.

[ashenvaliant]

It would. And yet...

[ AND YET. he takes another sip of his drink. ]

[guestservices]

"And yet," what? There's no "and yet" in this hotel! No one has shown up hungover to a trial or execution here!

[ashenvaliant]

Not here, no.

[guestservices]

[SIGHS]

And it's going to stay that way!

[ashenvaliant]

I'm just recalling my own memories. You're getting pretty defensive about it.

[ :3 ]

[guestservices]

I have nothing to be defensive about!

[ashenvaliant]

[ girl ]

So you say.
