Susan eyes the tiny woman for a moment before continuing, "Is there an actual person at the bar this time, or am I going to have to order from a rat again? At least I know where a Narn's been," she mutters the last.

Hey, it's hair-trigger officer lady! (Accordingly, he chooses to make the glance a visible one.)
Who doesn't seem quite as hair-trigger today. Repeated exposure to Milliways does that.

"Hover bang!"
Susan gives him a healthy slap on the back once she comes close.
"I don't have to shot you in the head! I always like that in a person. What do you drink? I'm buying."

If he's amused, 99% or so of humanity couldn't tell. He might be anyway, though. "Whiskey's fine."
He'll sip it slowly. But he has a fast metabolism, and no more shows for the night, and control issues that are more than deep-rooted enough to keep him from drinking enough to affect his judgment in the slightest.
And if there's one thing Trowa Barton is good at recognizing, it's military rituals, official and otherwise.

Ivanova sees his controls issues and matches them. With another (pretty friendly) smack on back, Susan is off after a waitrat. "Hey, you! The fuzzy one with the tail!" she barks.
She comes back triumphant with bottle of vodka and some random shooter of whiskey. "Worse than Centauri about parting with booze and money." She pours for her self and downs the whole thing in one gulp. "Damn, needed that."
Ever professional, she offers her hand. "Commander Susan Ivanova, Earthforce. XO aboard Babylon 5, deep space station. --It really is nice when I don't have to shot someone at the end of the day."

Really, the stuff atop the plastic-looking boy's head looks more like a drawing of hair than the actual stuff: solid triangular flaps which are currently flopping away from his head as he hangs by his knees from a rafter.
He looks down, startled, at the woman who appears to be addressing him. "For what?"

There's a green kid hanging around up on the ceiling! Commander-mode, on!
"Hey, kid! Come down here! You might get hurt." Susan makes come hither gestures and smiles as best she can, trying to say 'hey, strange green kid, I won't yell at you and come down so you don't give me a heart attack'.

Nevertheless, he will oblige her, though it may not look like that's what he's doing. He grabs something out of thin air near his belt, makes a couple of broad stretching motions, and suddenly, there is a boogie board where no boogie board was before, hovering just below him.
The green kid then proceeds to do a handstand on the apparently unsupported board and unhook his knees from the rafter.
Real reassuring, Enzo.

"Get down here now, soldier!" she barks.
