Having a drink (Open)
Abel sat the bar in Ontoda's and fiddled with a small device. He had been working on this gadget for sometime and wasn't close to being done with it. Ontoda and Yahi kept putting drinks in front of him. He didn't ask what they were, but eventually he would drink them. Azura would know what all the drinks were, but he wasn't going to bother her. He could tell through their link that she was sleeping. She usually did that when she was spending time in their pocket dimension.

	Abel blinked and then laughed. "I've never thought of it that way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex chuckles to himself and pats Abe on the back. "So..." A glance around. "If you don't mind my asking, what's your take on the Earthlings?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Abel thought about it for a moment. "They're interesting. They're the first I've met outside of Nova. From their stories I would like to visit Earth one day." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, Nova Prime and his family are a class act. Eliza seems like a sweetheart. The Eternal's got me a little cautious though. Call me jaded, but I tend to get a little edgy around someone with that much power in one body." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Abel gave him a confused look. "Dude you hang around my father every time he's on the station." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spacepalm 2011-07-05 01:57 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, well, that's your dad. Got the whole 'zen' thing going for him, kind of like Mom. This guy... he seems... well, he seems a lot more like us. Young. Lively. I'm not saying I got anything against the guy. I just want to get to know him better before I can make a call." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He's cool," Abel said. "He reminds me a lot of his mom, Kismet." Abel shrugged. "Knowing the stuff we'll run into, we'll need a heavy like him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spacepalm 2011-07-05 02:15 am UTC (link)
	"Don't tell Red or your sister that they're not already the heavy. They're such sensitive souls, y'know." He grins as he takes another drink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	only_half_here 2011-07-05 02:19 am UTC (link)
	Abel laughed and was really glad Azura was sound asleep. "Tell me about it. Red'll blow up half the station just trying to prove he's the heavy and Azura will take care of the other half." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spacepalm 2011-07-05 02:26 am UTC (link)
	Alex chuckles and raises his voice an octave, mimicking Red. "It is being only way to prove I am manliest mammal on all of Knowhere! If problem is not being solved with gun, solution is more gun!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	only_half_here 2011-07-05 02:51 am UTC (link)
	Abel laughed. "You have him down. Now you just better hope that he never finds out. You may have a few holes in you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spacepalm 2011-07-05 03:05 am UTC (link)
	"Meh. I go all salad-colored and cryptic before anything really bad can happen, usually. Just keeps sticking around." Only Alex could talk about cosmic precognitive powers the way the average person might talk about foot fungus. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's your hide," Abel said and downed another drink. "Don't say I didn't warn you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spacepalm 2011-07-05 03:27 am UTC (link)
	Alex just gives a lazy smile and extends a finger at Abe, even as he's holding a drink in the same hand. "Watch it, man. You're not as cute as Az to get away with the same level of vitriol. Heh." He downs the drink. He doesn't think of his constitution as being more susceptible to alcohol than others. He just enjoys it sooner. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	only_half_here 2011-07-05 03:29 am UTC (link)
	Abel gave him a look. "You have a thing for my sister," he said, not asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spacepalm 2011-07-05 03:31 am UTC (link)
	He smiles and nods, not bothering to deny it. "Yeah, you're not wrong. S'just flirting, though. It's fun." Another extended finger, before putting down the glass. "I'm gonna mind my manners and not detail the reasons for having a thing for Az to her bro." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	only_half_here 2011-07-05 03:42 am UTC (link)
	Abel grinned. It wasn't one sided, though Azura would never admit having a thing for Quill. She never did things the easy way. "That's okay. Because she'd kill me if I told you that she has a thing for you." Thankfully she was asleep and didn't hear that. Sometimes it sucked having a mental link with your sister.

Alex smiles and re-corks the bottle of whiskey after pouring a shot for Abe, then sliding it back to Onty.

"Really now?" A beat. "Cool." Alex simply smiles and sips a glass of water to cut some of the stuff he's already drunk. "As pleasant as that is to hear, please don't think less of me if I don't put life on hold to wait for her to make a more-than-flirting move back.

Call me old-fashioned, but I think it's up to the lady to decide when flirting turns into more than flirting." He pauses, watching for the subtle cues as to when Az was asleep or not. "And despite her very very very concerted efforts, I still think Az is a lady." He grins like a fool.

	"Trust me, you'll know when she's ready to admit it." His sister didn't know what the word subtle meant. Abel laughed at the lady remark. "One thing she isn't is a lady. She'd kick anyone's ass who called her that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spacepalm 2011-07-05 03:21 pm UTC (link)
	"The ability to kick my ass is a prerequisite for lady-designation, I'll have you know." Alex laughs back. "Have you met my Mom? Hell, have you met your mom?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	only_half_here 2011-07-05 07:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Point." He grabbed one of the drinks and downed it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There was a slight parting of the crowd as something worked its way through. Having teeth at crotch height and possibly having explosives hidden somewhere in your uniform got you a certain amount of space. With a grunt, Red scrambled onto a seat beside Alex and Abel. "Was being guys night out? Why was not one telling me?!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wasn't planned. I just got here to find Abe trying out big boy drinks for a change and we started chatting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can handle my alcohol much better than you," Abel defended. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Red grinned and shouted his own order to the bartender. "Only being one way to settle this! Must be having a drinking contest!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
