*purrs* Eeeeeeeexcellent. I love the difference in drinks--physical manefestations of their different personalities--and yet still they all manage to fit together just perfectly.

Ah, they all used to be such dweebs...

In other words, this is wonderful, thank you, and I officially love you forever and ever all over again.

You have no idea how long I sat here wondering what Kiros would be drinking. Hee! I'm glad you like.

I too adore the way that you convey so much personality through the characters' choices in drinks.

You get it so right too. I love the idea of Laguna drinking girly drinks because they're brighter and sweeter.

I am also amused by the way that Wards drinks keep disappearing and I love the way that Laguna clearly realizes he's a little bit melodramatic, but makes no excuses for it.

The name of Laguna's drink is adorable and priceless, as is his desire to appear as a manly beer drinker when Julia is around.

I love Kiros' rather pompously offered words of wisdom about pretending to be someone you are not in front of a love interest.

I really enjoy the banter between the friends. It's wonderfully light-hearted and I love the way they both tease Laguna. It's great that Laguna suddenly likes the bar after his new resolution to speak to Julia. This is just a wonderful story. I love the interaction between the friends.

*faints laughing* Oh, I love it. Especially the contrast between their drinks. Lovely.
