[ Video // Night ]

[rustigedraak]

[ Ladon is in his jazz club with the lights low, but there's enough to see that he's shifting around behind some kind of bar, cleaning shot glasses and rearranging bottles.

He takes a moment to set a nice new bottle of whiskey to the side before picking up his PORTAL and thinking at it. ]

F'I go an' offer you idiots free booze, that shut you up?

teneka;

[itaidakimasu]

You have a bar, Ladon-san?

[rustigedraak]

S'my jazz club, from Nieve. Like that office of yours that showed up here.

[itaidakimasu]

Oh! I don't think I've been to a jazz club before. The places Kanae drags me to every so often are more...um...

[rustigedraak]

More..?

[itaidakimasu]

Ah...think loud, packed with teens. Lots of teens.

[rustigedraak]

So like a hop. No gin mills or anythin'.

[itaidakimasu]

No, nothing like that, at least as far as I know. You're supposed to be at least twenty before you can drink in Japan anyways.

[rustigedraak]

Japan? That the name of where you're from?

[itaidakimasu]

The country, yeah. The city I live in is called Tokyo.

[rustigedraak]

Huh.

Drinkin' age's eighteen in Nieve. Ain't enforced, though.

That sound? Was Yako's curiosity getting pinged

[itaidakimasu]

...

I'll be eighteen in March.

[rustigedraak]

[ Ladon recognizes that kind of curiosity. ]

Far's I know, ain't got a drinkin' age here.

[itaidakimasu]

...and I don't interact with police officers here on a daily basis...

{It's tempting. Veeeerry tempting.}

[rustigedraak]

[ He wouldn't let her go overboard or leave drunk anyway. Protective mobster is protective. ] You want me t'pour you somethin'?

[itaidakimasu]

{There's a pause as Yako weighs 'it's morally wrong' against 'who would ever have to know back home?' Finally:}

Well...If it's not too much trouble...

[rustigedraak]

[ Ladon has no morals. ... Or well, very few. He's just amused. ]

No trouble. Better you get drunk in good company, yeah? [ And someone who wouldn't take advantage, which is why Ladon's cool with serving kids so long as the bouncers make sure they don't leave with anyone. ]
