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?

[betraitor]

You don't really look like a school teacher at all. I'd probably have pegged you for a merc if you hadn't said otherwise.

[alcobrawlic]

Yeah? Do I look that dangerous?

[betraitor]

Not like it's a bad thing. A dangerous lady... that's got it's perks.

[alcobrawlic]

So you like a little bit of danger, huh? I can't say I'm that different.

[betraitor]

What can I say? I'm a guy that likes to take risks.

[okay, he's really not, but he always does anyway.]

[alcobrawlic]

I don't know, your enthusiasm seems a little... lacking.
