OOC: Seeming as it's the first time she's done that... *The liquid is... water, not sake.* Barkeep, which is from Ten Forward: Don't know what that act was about, but Xi's been sober since his alcohol poisoning incident... *He washes the fake bar with a clothe.*
(Oh, that goes without mention!) *Smiles and laughs.* Makes sense, makes sense. *They get to the edge of the crowd and see a band, strings, drums, and woodwinds, but with a rock tinge playing. In the middle is a crazy dancer and her partner, both doing some kind of insane, comedic dance.*
*Xi bows, then rotates his arms to regain his balance and stand straight.* Xi: A man can only try, can he not? *He turns and leaves, and on the way out the door, stops his drunk impersonation.*
OOC: Well, there goes an interesting conversation... Xi, theatrically: Again, probably. But maybe being drunk made me realize my love for you! *Smiles and laughs.*
Xi: Eh, I was just thinking of a wider execution... *Drains shot.* Xi: But I like it. *He rests his head on his hand.* Xi: Did anyone ever tell you your eyes sparkle like a waterfall in moonlight when your thinking of plans to have people beat the snot out of each other?
Xi: I'm thinking we set up a non-lethal, no holds barred, Ushaan tournament in a holodeck. Then give the winner a free dinner with the captain and personal lessons with the 'best' fighters on the ship, if they want. *Pours a shot, fourth of the night.* Xi: It may be a little cheesy, but I'm drunk...
*They walk around for a while, admiring the giant trees and signs and people. Many seem to be couples, walking together and laughing, many kissing. Some start and find a place to sit and continue for minutes on end. They come to a clearing, which has a crowd with laughing. Music can be heard.* Want to go seewhat that's…
Xi: If they went to Shao right now, they'd both be accepted as trainees immediately. Specifically though, Tara seems to focused on grappling still, even though the Cor'i helps. Sasha fights like a westerner, all haymakers and straight jabs. They both don't dodge very well, practically blocking everything. *Pours another…
*Xi turns and looks at them. Colas can see from the corner of his eye that his irises glow a shade of gold for a second.* Xi: Hmm... Tara's nice, and goodhearted, if a little bit of an adrenaline junkie. So far, I would have labeled Sasha as depressed, but she's lightened up recently. *Turns back, eyes the normal grey.*…
Krystal, you are a great captain. That war shows it, and the fact that you had the willpower to put your own life on hold for it. *Takes her chin gently and lifts her eyes up to his.* But some things can only be put on hold for so long...
Xi: Pretty good, even though I just had to spend a few hours calculating a lot of routes for the ship. Fastest, safest, things like that. *Points to Riyah and Persi as they walk out the door.* Xi: Just had to convince Persi and his wife to leave me alone. The kid's nice, but he doesn't get when a man just wants to drink…
*Smiles at her.* First, yes I'm sure I killed it off. Second, I don't think it's going to fast... but I'll stop if you want. Third, it's not your fault. It's mine for not being man enough to tell you. *Chuckles.* That all?
*Notices a little something, but decides not to bring it up again. Smiles.* So, you ready? Or are you still eating. *Looks at plate.* OOC: I wonder what happened to Worffan...
*Persi walks in after him, in a simple tunic and pants. He has Riyah on his arm, who is in what looks like an Indian sari, but lighter weight and shows stomach.* Persi: You know Xi, you can come with us. Riyah: Of course. I'm sure everyone would be fine with it! *Xi turns and smiles.* Xi: Thanks, kids, but I would be…
