So so so late orz

With the races tomorrow and his little surprise to his Romeo is sleeping peacefully, Grell was enjoying the evening with a small drink. Even though he isn't much of a big major drinker unlike his close friend, that doesn't mean he can get a glass ever now and then. Besides, his wallet was still in a good decent amount.

His emerald eyes gazed around outside since he was standing around next to the entrance, looking at the many men, women, and sometimes an animal will appear among the crowd. He noticed a man...who wore feathers on his eye. Since it appears to be looking around, he set down his drink and went out to go greet him.

"Oh, are you lost, my dear sir?"

better late than never <3

One man had told Yumichika he knew of a great bar, but it was all the way past the far edge of town, and in the dim light, Yumichika could see oddly garish rings adorning his fingers and contrasting with what seemed to be a set of some of the most crooked teeth he'd ever seen outside a shark's mouth.

Another had told him that he'd give him a list of all the best bars in town if he'd take him there and buy him a drink. He wasn't sure whether to recoil in disgust at his unkempt (and molding?) appearance, or direct him to some sort of homeless facility, because unless he was pestering Yumichika for a drink so he could shower with it, he'd do much better with a bed and somewhere to get clean.

So when Grell asked him, he turned around and was fully prepared to defend himself against the worst-"Oh. No, I'm just looking for a good bar."

Ah. It's true that there is many bars, but due to the fact that he knows Kara, fellow crew mate who appears to be an expert at the bars, Grell knows which ones are good and which ones that doesn't meet up to his standards. He pushed up his glasses a bit, still having such a sly smile on his lips.

"Ah. The one that I'm at is pretty good." It's nothing fancy, but it's far from a place where all the drunks are. And it was just right behind him. "Perhaps I can offer you a drink and such?" Since he was in the best of moods this evening.

[satinskyrapids]

"Now that would be wonderful," Yumichika replied to his fellow shipmate and boatswain (not that he knew who Grell was.) He gave a smile back-not nearly as sly, but the sentiment was much the same. He wondered how many drinks it would take before he could ask the man just what exactly his teeth were all about.

Usually he thought he might be a little off-put by an appearance as odd as Grell's, but there was something oddly beautiful about how he pulled the whole thing off so effortlessly. He admired people like that, people like himself, of course.

With a nod and that smile still on, Grell lightly made a wave to follow him, going back to the bar. The bar was nice, people are having conversations and drinks everywhere, but it wasn't that crowded. As the two got in, the red head's first drink was still where he left it, nobody took it or took a sip of it when he was gone. Good. If someone did, things may not turn pretty. His long hair sometimes moves as he walks, swinging back and forth. His appearance is important to him, after all.

With the other man behind him, the two approached to the bar. Grell give the wooden bar a knock, getting the attention of one of the bartenders. "Now, what would like to have?" he asked to Yumichika.

[satinskyrapids]

"Can I get a kahlua mudslide?" he asked. "I've got a sweet tooth tonight." He very much appreciated the way Grell commanded a room and kept his appearances. He really had his own sense of style, Yumichika realized, even if it didn't quite agree with his own aesthetics.

"What ship do you hail from?" It was a fair question; Yumichika had no idea. He hadn't really gone around yet, and the Fiertia was so big that he often found himself a little bit lost, so he walked around and canvassed the area around his chambers and around the captain's cabin and the mess hall, and he was slowly discovering the ship.

The people, however, were still mostly quite a mystery.

The bartender gave him a nod before going off to go make the drink. Grell grabbed himself a seat up against the bar, another seat for Yumichika if he wishes to sit down. He took another sip of his drink, which is a Bloody Mary. The drink seems to fit Grell perfectly.

"Ah. The Fiertia. What about yourself, dear?" Who knows if this man belongs to a ship or not, but might as well ask. Each ship does get new person every day that it's hard to keep track of who leaves and who comes on board.

[satinskyrapids]

Yumichika had merely assumed Grell was part of a ship because, well, he hadn't been aware there were locals here outside of people who ran ships, or maybe they migrated because of the races. He didn't really care. He was a little surprised. "The Fiertia as well. I'm the new boatswain," he said.

"To my fellow shipmate," he toasted, clicking his glass quickly against Grell's before downing the hatch. He ordered another one.

[bloodychainsaw]

And he laughed a bit, clicking his glass against the others before it was drowned down the other's throat. It was nice that he has a new co-boatswain now. This shall be interesting.

"Anyways, my name is Grell Sutcliff. I'll be one of your co-boatswains." he said before taking another sip. "You'll be working with me, and miss Naoto I suppose. Welcome aboard~" He said with a smile, his bright teeth shining a bit into the dim light.

"Oh. I'm afraid I didn't get your name~"

[satinskyrapids]

"Ah yes, I think I talked to Shirogane-san." He extended a hand. "My name is Ayasegawa Yumichika. It's a pleasure to know we'll be working together, Sutcliff-san."

He finished his second drink and let it sit at the bar, not wanting to rush into a third just quite yet. Yumichika wasn't quite sure how suiting the bloody mary was for Grell, but the colors seemed to match nicely and he just had one of those gut feelings, even though he'd never had a bloody mary before.

[bloodychainsaw]

And he took the hand, shaking it lightly. "It's a pleasure as well. I'm sure we'll get along just fine."

You have to really get to know Grell and his ways before anyone sees why this certain drink fits him so well. He finished his drink and pushed the empty glass to the side, licking his lips.

[satinskyrapids]

"No doubt in my mind. The crew is very nice to work with," he added. "Very diligent. I enjoy that."

He stifled a bit of a yawn and frowned; it wasn't even late yet. He hadn't had a long day; it was mostly like a very long break. Alright, if most of his breaks were spent animatedly haggling with people over prices.

"Are you going to eat that celery?" Food was such a terrible thing to waste.
