[ 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.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Not pleasantly surprised? I would have picked "pleasantly surprised."

[sarcaskick]

It goes a bit in both directions, I guess.

[ A pause as his drink arrives, and he takes a sip to catch up with Pyrrha. ]

But there's nothing like watching someone try hard liquor for the first time. Did you cough when you did? I bet you coughed.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

I'm not going to admit to that.

[sarcaskick]

You're also not going to deny it, I notice. That's as good as a "yes" in my book.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

If you're desperate.

[sarcaskick]

You're not giving me anything concrete, so I'm just going to make assumptions.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Have fun with that.

[sarcaskick]

I already am.

[ He takes another sip, rolling his eyes in thought for a moment. ]

I bet... you don't make a habit of it because you went way overboard once and it scared you straight.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

[ She sips her drink sedately ]

Oh my, what wild theories.

[sarcaskick]

You're really not going to at least tell me if I'm hot or cold on these guesses? Throw me a bone, Pyrrha!

[pyrrhaicvictory]

No, I'm enjoying the fact that you have to guess and I get to be mysterious and aloof.

[sarcaskick]

... Touché, champ. Alright. Hit me with a question. I'll try to take it at least fifty percent seriously.

[pyrrhaicvictory]

Up it to 70 and I'll consider it.

[sarcaskick]

As a gesture of good faith, I'll give you 75.
