A bar, vodka and girl talk.
Irina had felt like the walls of the Champions' HQ were closing in. While she got out and around the world on grocery shopping trip, she felt like she had been in one place too long. It was time to get out of the place and explore New Orleans a bit. Funny how she traveled all over the world on a regular basis and she had yet to really explore the city she now lived in.

Though she didn't feel like going alone. She wanted company and she knew who she could ask. She grabbed Lyta and the two of them hit the town.

They didn't get much farther than a neighborhood bar.

The two women were perched on bar stools. Irina had a shot glass and a bottle of Stoli in front of her.

	"This," Lyta said, downing a shot of Stoli of her own, "Was a good idea." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Da," Irina agreed. "It was starting to feel like the walls were closing in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes. I do wish that certain people over there knew the meaning of the phrase 'personal space'. Just because I was brainwashed once does not mean that I will be attacked every five minutes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina downed a shot and poured another. "I am not used to living with others. I have mostly been a loner. Independent if you like. So many people, I am not used to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I grew up at the Xavier Institute, so while I'm used to living with people, I am still growing used to living with this particular group of people. I like just having my own space a lot of the time, which I can see where they might not understand that." She downed another shot, pouring another. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Who is they? Is someone sneaking into your room when you are not there or even when you are?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-04-22 01:42 am UTC (link)
	"No. I've just had a couple of people come and bother me when I've made it clear that I am working. Nothing too big." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina smiled a little. "There is nothing that the threat of violence or harm won't do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-04-22 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	Lyta grinned. "A nice little threat can go a long way, I've learned." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-04-22 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Da," she said and downed a shot. "It also helps to have a knife within grasp. They emphasize the point quite nicely." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-04-22 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	"I've learned that threatening to make people think that they are a seven-year-old girl for a couple months works, too." Lyta chuckled, as she downed another shot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina laughed. "Yes, that would be most effective. It makes me wish I were a telepath." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-04-23 02:07 am UTC (link)
	"It does have its advantages." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-04-23 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"I bet. I will just have to stick to sharp things." Irina smiled. She did love her knives. "How is Mikhail?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-04-23 02:31 am UTC (link)
	"Threatening someone with sharp things can work just as well threatening them with telepathy." She smiled, downing another shot. "He's doing well. I'm looking forward to spending a little time with him at the Tzar's wedding." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-04-23 02:35 am UTC (link)
	Irina nodded. "That's good. It should be a nice wedding and a good time. I will be doing duties as a member of the Winter Guard during the festivities." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you're able to, stop by and say hello. It would be nice to see another familiar face." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will. I will most likely be assigned to the tsarina as I had been before. Or I may be assigned to someone in Mikhail's family. I hear the former tsarina is pregnant." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-04-23 02:58 am UTC (link)
	Lyta nodded. "She is. Eliza told me, she seemed very excited about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-04-23 03:03 am UTC (link)
	"A birth is always a good reason to be excited. Though we did not expect it to be the former tsarina. We had hoped it would be the future tsarina. We still hope she has a child to ensure the succession." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-04-23 03:09 am UTC (link)
	"I think her pregnancy came as both a surprise and a shock, to be honest. But yes, hopefully the tsarina will have children of own too, someday soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-04-23 03:12 am UTC (link)
	"Here's to future births," she said and held up her shot glass. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-04-23 03:20 am UTC (link)
	"Cheers," Lyta said, grinning, clinking her shot glass against Irina's before downing another shot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2010-04-23 06:03 am UTC (link)
	"Can I ask a question?" Irina asked after she downed the shot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-04-23 01:02 pm UTC (link)
	"Ask away." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
