You'll be fine. One drink isn't going to get you sloshed. Besides, I'm here. What could possibly go wrong?

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Isn't that a dangerous thing to say?

[sarcaskick]

I wouldn't have pegged you for the superstitious type.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

I'm not. Just a healthy appreciation for things going wrong.

[sarcaskick]

Eh, I'm not worried. I roll with the punches.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Are you ever worried?

[sarcaskick]

I generally avoid it as a rule of thumb.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Fair enough. But now I'm wondering if you ever get scared.

[sarcaskick]

Why, I can't go to sleep at night without checking under my bed and inside the closet for the bogeyman!

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Oh, my. Do your team mates know of this?

[sarcaskick]

Nope! This very real, not at all made-up phobia of mine is something I'm confiding in you and you alone.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Then I'll have to keep it a secret.

[sarcaskick]

Pinkie swear?

[pyrrhaicvictory]

If you want.

[sarcaskick]

It's the only way to make it official.

[ ... He's seriously offering his pinkie. Why the hell not. ]

[pyrrhaicvictory]

[ twines her pinkie with his ]

It's a promise.

[sarcaskick]

[ He gives her pinkie a little squeeze. ]

That's a binding contract until the day you die. I hope you're ready for the responsibility.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

I think I can handle it.

[sarcaskick]

I have faith.

And speaking of things you can handle, you can only delay the inevitable for so long.

[ She smiles at the bartender ]

One Matador cocktail for me, please.

[sarcaskick]

[ He rears his head back a bit - not out of disapproval, but surprise. ]

... I'm going to come clean. I really thought you might try to find some loophole.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

And be that predictable?

I do drink. Sometimes it's expected with sponsors. I just don't make a habit out of it.

[sarcaskick]

And you kept that from me this whole time, you sly thing! Clever girl.

[ He shoots a grin over to the bartender. ]

Whiskey sour.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

I felt it was worth surprising you.

[ she takes a sip out of her cocktail once it arrives ] Can't have everything out in the open.

[sarcaskick]

Ain't that the truth.

[ She literally doesn't know the half of it. ]

I was convinced you were going to admit you've never done this before. I'm almost disappointed.
