It is like you never left. Considering you've only been gone...well, less than a week, at least.

[chosered]

I thought you would.

[chessmastering]

Getting inside my head again, are we?

[chosered]

Stating an opinion. You were a smart kid.

[chessmastering]

I still am.

Mike managed to uncover our vast reserves of wealth, so it appears I am once again financially stable. Fortunate, in case I happened to owe you a drink and you decided to choose today to collect.

[chosered]

You don't owe me one but I will consider it a preemptive drink owed, if you like.

[chessmastering]

The offer is good for one day only.

[chosered]

The Blue Light or the Coliseum?

[chessmastering]

Whichever is less likely to poison us all by mistake.

[chosered]

What's your drink of choice?

[chessmastering]

That depends entirely on the company.

[chosered]

A fellow student?

[chessmastering]

Ah. In short, a casual setting.

A Roy Rogers, then.

[chosered]

You don't drink alcohol?

[chessmastering]

Not as my beverage of choice.

[chosered]

All right.
