[Private to Barret]

How about that story time, huh? And a stiff drink.

Private to Nabooru

[bear_sailor]

Sounds my speed. If that's what'cha want, let's do it.

[Voice] Private

[exalted_nabooru]

I could use it, and if you've still been thinking so much you likely could too.

[Voice] Private

[bear_sailor]

Where the hell ya want me ta meet ya?

[Voice] Private

[exalted_nabooru]

I'm by the river. Not that a woman like me needs walking home, but I do have orders not to be out on my lonesome.

[Voice] Private

[bear_sailor]

Yeah, yeah... so how'd ya get there if yer not allowed out on yer own?

Nothin' but ******* trouble. [He laughs a bit, obviously not meaning it.]

Be right there.

[Voice] Private

[exalted_nabooru]

Well I wasn't on my own before! Just so happens I am now.

Hah! I'll wait for no man. I'll catch you on the way. Can't have you freezing anything valuable.

[Voice] Private

[bear_sailor]

Ya better mean my brains, woman.

[Voice] Private

[exalted_nabooru]

[If Barret was standing right in front of her, her eyes would quickly, but obviously, flick down and up to his eyes again.

This is evident in her voice.]

Some would say that.

Though now I'm curious. What if I didn't mean that?

[Voice] Private

[bear_sailor]

Can ya swim, girlie?

[Voice] Private

[exalted_nabooru]

Better than you, that's for sure.

[Voice] Private

[bear_sailor]

Let's find out.

[Voice] Private

[exalted_nabooru]

Ai! In this cold! I DON'T THINK SO, MISTER.

[Voice] Private

[bear_sailor]

Jeeze... fine. But I can drink ya under the table.

[Voice] Private

[exalted_nabooru]

...Din's Fires you can! No man can drink me under the table! No woman either!
