We had beers too. Almost every planet had some kind of specialty.

[motivation]

yeah, that's not so different in the j
what's your favourite drink then

[evasives]

I am not sure I have a favorite. I was using rations back home, it did not leave much room for alcoholic choice.

[ also, in general, cassian is not a very big drinker. ]

[motivation]

you could change that now

[evasives]

A testing tour across the city?

[motivation]

time for a pub crawl

[evasives]

You know, I am not sure I have ever done one of those before. I am not sure it is my thing.

[motivation]

spoilsport

[evasives]

[ some people don't use anything to cope, dutch!! they just suffer! ]

Maybe if the crawl was a week long and involved one place a day.

[motivation]

[ that seems like a terrible idea, why would anyone do that ]

that works

[evasives]

[ because they deserve it maybe idk. ]

Do you ever say no to a drink?

[motivation]

[ all the more reason for coping mechanisms, pain you think you deserve hurts all the worse ]

why would i do that?

[evasives]

[ that's why, hear him out, you gotta suffer.... bc you deserve it! obviously! ]

Something more interesting could be an option. Some people prefer sobriety.

[motivation]

[ okay but how about no ]

some people can keep their sobriety
got anything specific in mind that's more interesting?

[evasives]

[ maybe one day he'll get better at not suffering. ]

No. I was just musing. I do not drink much.

[ honestly... what is fun? what is taking things easy? recreation?? don't know her. ]

[motivation]

i noticed
any particular reason?

[evasives]

It was not particularly safe to be inebriated in my line of work.

And my tolerance is very high.

[ was he trained for that too?? yeah. combined with little pills to lessen the effect when he needed to have a drink or two on the job. ]

[motivation]

so's mine
drinking and getting drunk aren't the same

[evasives]

I prefer to have all of my wits.

[motivation]

paranoid

[ can she blame him? not even a little ]

[evasives]

Cautious.

[ no he's definitely paranoid as fuck, it's bad. ]

[motivation]

there's a difference?

[evasives]

Paranoia can be unreasonable. Caution is logical.

[ just... attacks himself, in defense of himself?? ]

[motivation]

[ oh boy

dutch has been trained to be sharp, to never let her guard down -- but despite that, she's found a place she could trust. two places, really. found people she trusts enough to drink with. to get drunk around. (the latter's more difficult than the former.)

she wouldn't even know where to begin putting any of that in words. wouldn't even know why it should matter, except it does. ]

and you're a logical man

[evasives]

[ he did participate in a drinking game, willingly. that's probably a good sign? not that he got particularly drunk, but he let himself join in in the safety of his own home. and it was... fun. he had fun? what a concept. ]

I try to be.
