It could just be everyone's ready for a nice, loooong nap after this.

[ Which also sounds nice, even if she's drawing out that long in a slow drawl like that totally isn't an innocent slumber. ]

[betraitor]

It kinda sounds like you're the one ready to give them a long nap.

[just sayin'.]

[alcobrawlic]

Nah, that's just in your cute little imagination.

[betraitor]

Oh, that's what it is?

[he has his doubts.]

I'd rather hear that other things are cute, not just my imagination, y'know. [no one cares, alvin.]

[alcobrawlic]

Most grown men don't really like hearing that any part of them is cute-- or so I hear.

[betraitor]

Well... that depends on what parts are being called cute.

[alcobrawlic]

...

[ Oh boy is she just smirking now. ]

Gonna have to withhold judgment on that for now.

[betraitor]

[well, their minds were both in the same place, it seems.

but.]

...Don't tell me you need a few more beers to decide if I have a cute face or not.

[he's family friendly. tot..ally...]

[alcobrawlic]

[ These two are clearly pure souls. ]

Maybe two or three. Right now, it's interesting.

[ ... Well, that's probably a compliment. ]

[betraitor]

Ouch. You really don't pull any punches, huh?

["interesting" is not a compliment, sara!]

[alcobrawlic]

You're a little too youthful-looking to be my first choice.

[ She tells it like it is! And she didn't say he was unattractive!! ]

[betraitor]

...Well, I sure as hell don't look that young, last I checked.

[not that he's really insulted by that. though really... he would like the ladies to find him attractive regardless?]

Or is it just that you want some strapping silver-haired fox?

[alcobrawlic]

... That would be nice... maybe a little facial hair...

[ Sara, no. Down. ]

[betraitor]

Well, I don't plan on going gray anytime soon, but I can pull off facial hair if I want to.

[sara please don't encourage him. please. we all know how stupid alvin looks with facial hair.]

[alcobrawlic]

... Hmmmm... I can't say I wouldn't be interested.

[ SHE DOESN'T KNOW. ]

[betraitor]

[this is the first mistake and they've barely even started drinking yet.]

Well, now we're talking here. Maybe that'll go to show that I'm not as young as my charming looks may have you think.

[alcobrawlic]

I'd put you at around my age... mid-twenties?

[ Not really a baby-face, she knows. ]

[betraitor]

Good eye. You hit the nail right on the head with that one.

[given that 26 is pretty solidly in that age-range. maybe he also just knows that he looks his age, but hey.

it's conversation, right?]

[alcobrawlic]

In my line of work, you learn to be perceptive.

[ Which isn't a lie, because usually if you're not perceptive, you end up incredibly dead. ]

[betraitor]

Can't say I'm not in a similar boat. Just what line of work needs that from you?

[she seems like she could easily be a mercenary too, but one can never tell so easily.]

[alcobrawlic]

... Teaching.

[ Well, it's not really a lie. ]

[betraitor]

Sounds pretty intense for a teaching gig.

[what the hell is she even teaching...]

[alcobrawlic]

Military Academy. [ by way of explanation, apparently. ]

[betraitor]

Ah. Well, that makes a hell of a lot more sense.

[he didn't really consider that, but alvin didn't.

go to school at all.]

[alcobrawlic]

I don't look like your average schoolteacher, do I?
