Rebel 26 [Action!]

[not_meatbuns]

[After a long recovery period and reading every single book in the house several times over, Litchi is finally back on her feet. She's still a little slow, but her cough is gone and her strength is mostly returned. So how best to celebrate?

A trip to the bar, of course.

Hey, she's missed the company. Really. Totally not just a boozehound.So here

[Goroh is at the bar often. Almost as much as when he first arrived in Luceti. Of course... he spots Litchi. He's bound to get noticed one way or another. Besides, he's not exactly cowardly when it comes to facing up to stuff, even if it's something as complicated as this.

So he gets up, takes a seat next to Litchi, and orders a beer.]

On your feet, I see.

[not_meatbuns]

[Awkward as things have gotten with him lately, Litchi still can't help the smile that spreads across her face as he sits down beside her. Everything may be awkward, but... he's finally talking to her again. Of his own free will, no less.

Maybe their friendship isn't quite as ruined as she'd worried.]

Yes, it took quite some time, but... David really is a fantastic nurse.

[Realizing that her smile is probably a little inappropriate given the awkwardness, her eyes drift back to her drink as she pokes at it idly.] ...Have you been alright?

[moonlightoutlaw]

[Once his own drink arrives, he keeps focused on that. He lacks his usual, semi-friendly bust mostly condescending demeanor.]

Oh, you know how it is. Spreading stories, convincing McCoy I'm a doctor, Dax that I was a botanist in another life, and taking a trip up to the ruins. Same old.

[not_meatbuns]

[...Okay, she'll bite.]

How in the world did you convince Dr. McCoy of that?

[moonlightoutlaw]

Told 'em I spent three months undercover as a barber.

[not_meatbuns]

[She can't help but laugh.]

Mr. Goroh... do I even want to know?

[moonlightoutlaw]

Probably not. [Takes a drink.]

[not_meatbuns]

I... [She's missed this. She's missed it far more than she probably would have expected. But saying so would probably just bring up that same stubborn wall as last time, wouldn't it?

Shaking her head amusedly, she takes a few sips of her own drink.]

...Nevermind.

[moonlightoutlaw]

[Yeah yeah. He knows where she was going with that.]

Never pictured David as the nurse type. Did you make him wear the get up?

[not_meatbuns]

No, but... [And here's it's most likely very clear that the alcohol is already getting to her head. Her eyes get an almost starry glaze to them.] That would be adorable, wouldn't it~?

Besides, I'm not sure I even have anything along those lines...

[moonlightoutlaw]

[Oh for the love of... not this again.]

Oh, Litchi, I think- [Wait... he's remembering his conversation with Tsubaki. Hmmmm.]

That ain't a bad idea. [While she's distracted, he's going to just... fill up her glass again.]

[not_meatbuns]

[She definitely doesn't notice the refill. She's sort of off in La-La Land as she reaches for her drink again.]

But where would I even find the right kind...? Maybe Yao could make it for me.

[moonlightoutlaw]

Who knows. [He grabs a bottle of tequila and his glass.]

How about we go sit somewhere more personal like?

[not_meatbuns]

[She gives him a curious look, but nevertheless picks up her glass to follow along.]

Ah-- if you're sure, alright. But... what for?

[moonlightoutlaw]

[Just gonna grab a booth and sit down.]

Just so we can talk private, that's all. Can't let people go hearing your ideas for dress up, now can we?

[not_meatbuns]

[Litchi laughs cheerily and slides in to sit across from him.]

I suppose you're right~ It really would be a shame if it wasn't a surprise.
