[dancingmd]

Oh, you ought to give it a try then! We'll get one minty drink and one not, so if you don't like it, I'll take yours.

[bryces_pup]

I like that idea. [Aw ye, new drink to try!]

[dancingmd]

Perfect!

[Decision made, she walks up to the bar and orders two drinks: one more traditional fruity punchy drink and one mojito, which she hands to Riona.]

Tell me what you think!

[bryces_pup]

[Riona thanks Beverly before taking the offered drink and sipping tentatively. She pauses, running the taste over her tongue. Her lips instinctively bunch up a bit when the aftertaste kicks in.]

It has a bit of an aftertaste. I don't recall anything like this on Thedas. Still, I think I like it.

[dancingmd]

You do? Oh, good! I wasn't sure - there are people who don't like it much. But! Mint tastes excellent with chocolate as well - we'll have to find some for you to try sometime.

[bryces_pup]

[She takes another sip. The aftertaste will take some getting used to.]

I can understand why. It's an odd flavor, one I don't think I would be able to ingest a lot of at a time.

How is your drink?

[dancingmd]

[Oh! Right! Beverly takes a sip of her cocktail then swirls the glass around as she studies the liquid, which is a bright lime green.]

Very good! Not very strong, but that’s probably for the best.

[bryces_pup]

No drunken revelry for you tonight?

[dancingmd]

[She laughs.] I'm too old to deal with hangovers any more.

[bryces_pup]

You make yourself sound as if you're a crone far past her prime! Do not sell yourself so short, Beverly.

[dancingmd]

[Dryly:] Call me when you're almost fifty and had too much wine the night before and then we'll talk.

[Though let's be honest here, Bev, the bigger problem is that you would be all up on Daneel if you were drunk and no one needs to see this.]

[bryces_pup]

Come now. I knew a woman with at least one decade on you and she shrugged off Oghren's Special Brew. The brew which knocked me, my husband, and two others on their asses.

[dancingmd]

Any particular reason you're trying to get this poor old crone drunk, hmm?

[bryces_pup]

Why not? Tonight is about revelry, after all. And I've already gotten to see Robb quite inebriated. Might as well try and get as much of the crew to his state as possible.

[dancingmd]

Ahh.

[She raises her eyebrows, amused.]

And what do you envision a drunk Beverly to be like?

[bryces_pup]

Hmmmm... chatty, I would think. And one to seek out fun and mischief of any sort.

[dancingmd]

Fairly accurate - though I also have a tendency to become very ah... Affectionate when drunk.

[Horny. She means horny.]

[bryces_pup]

So lots of hugging and hanging on people?

[dancingmd]

Basically. But don't worry - Daneel would no doubt be the primary recipient of it.

[bryces_pup]

...ah. [HINT TAKEN.] So, if I got you well into your cups and we happened to run into him...?

[dancingmd]

[Beverly waggles a finger at Riona in admonishment.]

Don't get any ideas. I hardly need alcohol's help in that department, thank you.

[bryces_pup]

But it certainly makes it easier, doesn't it? And surely he would not be so opposed to your affection?

[dancingmd]

No, of course not.

[Though that does cause her to wonder - what does her mind feel like to him if she's drunk? Would that be unpleasant for him? She will have to ask.]

But I see no reason to embarrass myself in such a way.
