He took the glass, blinking softly. There was a chance. He would have to hold onto that hope, no matter how foolish it might be. Something told him that he was being an idiot, and he knew that it was right, but he also knew that he couldn't bear the thought that he had been spared while she had died

"To the empire, and to our dumb luck." He joined in the clinking before downing the rest of his drink. Jade lurched somewhat, coughing. Somewhat breathless, he continued, "That's the only... other way I can see us staying alive through what we... have."

Jade launched into another series of coughs, before he could speak again. "Honestly, Peony, you couldn't have picked anything lighter?" he teased.

He chuckled, then, his mind hazy with alcohol and fingers going numb around his glass.

"Having trouble keeping up with the emperor, huh?" And he smirked a bit, his lips numb from the alcohol but the smile widening. They would survive. They had to. He was brought here for a reason, whatever that was. As much as he hated the score, he had to believe that there was a purpose for some things.

"You always were a lightweight, Jade." And he gave his friend a nudge.

"Compared to you? Always." Jade responded calmly. He drained half of his second glass, placing it down on the counter with a soft clink, "Anyone would be relative to all of the flab underneath your robes. ♥"

He arched both of his eyebrows and glanced sideways through half lidded to the Emperor, never facing him fully. A challenge? Oh definitely.

"Hey, that was a low blow, my friend." But still, he chuckled. "I'll have you know I'm in perfect shape...if I was a rappig."

He waved the bartender back over, ordering a round of whiskey shots. Jade had just upped the ante, and he wasn't about to back off. He downed the rest of his second glass, coughing with a smile. The air seemed balmy in here now, and he could feel the heat in his face and neck.

"Besides, since you're thinner than me, you can't drink as much without getting completely smashed~" And he nodded. "You'll be wearing a lampshade for a hat before I even start taking my pants off."

So he may have had a little habit of undressing when drunk. Everyone had their quirks.
