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.

	"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)

	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)

	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)

	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)

	"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)

	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)

	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)

	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)

	"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)

	spacepalm 2011-07-06 08:46 am UTC (link)
	"I don't care if your'e still standing; if you get Lila Cheney medley drunk again, I'm having you cut off. I want to make that clear." Alex states. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"At least it was good music," Abel defended. "Not the...whatever it was you were singing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	needsmoredakka 2011-07-06 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	Red grinned. "Now, what are being stakes of contest?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	spacepalm 2011-07-06 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey, 'I'm Varrek the Sixth' is a great old Skrull standard." Alex insists. "Even if the irregular verbs in Skrullese are a bitch and a half." He looks at them both. "Well, bragging rights for starters... and..." He reaches for a napkin and pulls out a pen. "I'll wager... a week's monitor duty." He writes it down and tosses it down. "What've you guys got?"

	"Lila's music is still better," he said. "I'll wager cleaning the Ride." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Red considered his options. "Am putting up protection detail for the Decapodian dignitaries due next week." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Alright. Tournament style prize distribution, gentlemen. Winner takes two of choice, second place gets what's left, third place cleans up and picks up the tab." Alex writes down their wagers as well. "Onty! A round of Burn Up on Re-entries!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
