[my cirrus teammates can't be this cute

he gets an image of what's essentially a rough night at the bar; Vincent cuts out anything that would be like confidential information (tm), but it's like...he woke up with a headache that morning that hasn't abated, he's really tense because of it, there's an important client meeting in the back he has to manage right alongside the fact that two of his staff called in sick and the bar itself is shorthanded. the client turns out to be a Karen and by the skin of his teeth he gets them to leave without making an informational sale without actually offending them. someone throws up on his shoes before the end of the night.]

[do you remember this, Vincent? -- well here it is again from Booker's POV which honestly is honestly probably weird for you?? But he's drunk and didn't think this through a lot. There is no irritation just a lot of interest but also the conflict of insecurity and fronting very hard at not being insecure and then the actual shame at finally running away -- it isn't anything too powerful or dramatic, but it seems to be enough because Booker does get tea and a ghost pepper for his efforts]

[well HE'S not annoyed by it, but his tail does an enthusiastic swish swish swish as he picks up the ghost pepper, wings fluffing]

We could revisit that anytime you like.

Is that so? We definitely should, then.

[it fluffs...more. the thin overlapping scales on it are quite long, so they resemble feathers even more than the rest, though they have the same solid core and soft edge.]

Mm, after this performance, though. What a time to not have privacy.

That's our constant curse.

Later then. Assuming anyone is still standing after all of this.

Hm, I hadn't thought about that... I don't like drinking that much anyway, so for me it's not really a problem

It's not one of the win conditions anyway, but people are still going wild.

Being in that category myself, I will take not being able to get drunk over consuming too much more of that swill.

I guess you at least can always just delay your gratification until later.

[sighs]

Speaking of which, how much longer can this go. Is anyone even drinking what they order.
