A quiet drink (open)
It was late and Champions headquarters was quiet. Irina was downstairs in the common area making friends with a bottle of vodka in the dark. It had been a long day and she just needed some time to wind down and relax.

	"I thought I heard voices," Jenny said, peering around a doorway. Se didn't see anyone but Irina sitting in the dark. "Everything all right?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Lyta just left," Irina answered. "Just making friends with a bottle of vodka. You're welcome to join me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't think I've met Lyta." Jenny accepted the invitation and eased into a seat. "She was a Champion, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina nodded. "Yes, at one point. She visits occasionally." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Birthdays are always long days," Irina said. "Would you care for a drink?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A small one. I have too much and I'm a bull in a china shop." Jenny rose to get a glass. "Why didn't you tell us it's your birthday? We could have had a party for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not the party type, especially birthdays. I like them lowkey." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know, but I didn't like the fuss." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jenny located a glass and came back. "It's my thought that birthdays are for other people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I would agree with that," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tabula_rasa 2013-07-18 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Corey doesn't seem to need a reason for cooking up a feast. I haven't eaten this well in a long time." Jenny poured herself a small amount of vodka. "My brother remembers my birthday but not how old I am. The gift is rarely age appropriate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	perenawska 2013-07-18 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	"I know," she said. "Corey will cook for any reason under the sun, but I just don't want anyone doing anything special. Just being here with all of you is special enough." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jenny raised her glass. "To the motley crew. My cat has never been so well fed or tolerated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jenny swallowed her drink. The vodka hit a mostly empty stomach. "What did you do before the Champions?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was with the Winter Guard," Irina answered. "Protecting the Russian royal family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not really. The royals are pretty calm and tame compared to some." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It was interesting," Irina said. "Though I did jump at the chance to come to the US and serve the royal family here. Eliza Romanova was on the Champions in the beginning. That's why I ended up here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't recall reading about her in the papers with the other royals." Jenny toyed with her glass and the possibility of another drink. But one trip and she could break something. Best not risk it. "It was pretty interesting in London. American royals kind of ruffled their feathers a little." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
