[ That earns a surprised little arch of his brow, but he's quick to roll with it. Showing weakness is never wise, on and off the battlefield alike, so he fixes her with a sly grin before starting to lead the way. ]

Sweet. We're heading to some place called Junior's. Shouldn't have a problem getting in.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

How very suspicious. Maybe I should rethink my choice of companion.

[sarcaskick]

[ He reaches his free hand over to pat her forearm reassuringly. ]

Relaaaaaax. I just heard they're a little desperate for patrons lately.

[ ... Probably because the place more or less blew up once. ]

[pyrrhaicvictory]

I guess Vale hasn't bee . . . the safest lately.

[ to put it mildly ]

[sarcaskick]

For some. I'm pretty sure you and I can handle any trouble if it comes up.

[ ... honestly Pyrrha could probably handle it alone, but he'd be happy to watch! ]

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Maybe.

[ With a pause. ] But I know . . . I haven't reached my limits.

[sarcaskick]

[ He studies her for a moment, grinning a bit wider in amusement. ]

You realize almost no one hits their full potential at our age, right?

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Then I'll be the first.

[ she has the drive, even when she doesn't have the ego. ]

[sarcaskick]

[ It occurs to him that she might hit her maximum potential relatively soon, because depending on how Cinder plays this whole situation out some people might not make it out alive.

There's a part of him that might almost be a little reluctant to see Pyrrha go. You don't meet fighters like her every day, that's for sure.

... Probably shouldn't dwell on that much when she's standing right there. ]

You pull that off, and I'll pay next time.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Does that mean we'll be having another match soon?

[sarcaskick]

I'm sure you're eager for a chance to win back the crown.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Who, me?

[ I am innocennnnt. ]

[sarcaskick]

By all means, tell me how wrong I am. Let me have it! Hold nothing back.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Maybe after my drink.

[sarcaskick]

Fair enough! Gotta admit that I'm deathly curious what a girl like you plans to order.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

I'll think of something.

[sarcaskick]

Hope so! Otherwise you'll have to leave it to my judgment.

[ She... she doesn't want that. ]

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Don't worry, I have something in mind.

[sarcaskick]

That's for the best. You don't strike me as a whiskey type anyway.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

I'm not. You'll just have to see.

[sarcaskick]

Sure, sure.

[ A few moments of silence, before he casts her a suspicious look. ]

If you just order juice or something I'm going to take those flowers back.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Wow, you're really going to judge my drinks, aren't you?

[sarcaskick]

Oh my god, did I actually just guess your master plan?

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Not even close. You'll just have to wait and see.

[sarcaskick]

[ He leans a little closer to peer at her, still a bit wary. The girl clearly has some sort of idea, but he can't gleam what it is.

...

Welp. Guess she's right - he'll have to wait. ]

So it would seem.
