The alien--whatever it was, he desperately wanted a name to put to the species but would probably have to work around to that--seemed a bit put out that he'd picked a stool one over. Kari was of the vague opinion that ey should have been glad he hadn't run, but whatever. People here were obviously more used to em than he was.
He burst out laughing at eir confused petulance at his offense about the dick-question. Not loudly, and not rudely, but with genuine amusement. He couldn't help it, ey just seemed so put-out. "Well, I can't say you're wrong," he said, grinning for the first time that evening. "We really are. Although I gather men with dicks in dresses are slightly less sensitive, just from personal experience." Women with dicks in dresses, that was an entirely different story, one that Kari occasionally brushed up against but ultimately didn't follow. "Unless you're speaking physically, which is also true, but can be neatly sidestepped by avoiding the area altogether," he added with a snort.
The interaction between the adorable barkeep and the giant-snake-of-scary was interesting, however. If ey owned the place, why bother with the subterfuge? Same as if ey worked there, which he had trouble imagining. Even as a bouncer, it would be utterly excessive. Plus, ey hardly gave off the 'blue collar worker' vibe. The bartender was anything but subtle about their respective positions, but that was probably due to a general lack of talent for subterfuge, based purely on the thirty-odd minutes he'd known her for.
Kari's eyes flicked back and forth between the two twice before he smiled. "A Pink Lady, please, if you know it," he asked Xotll, then turned his focus back to the much larger alien. He wasn't really comfortable looking away for extended periods of time, but he didn't particularly want to admit that.
"Well, when one has an excess of free alcohol, all one lacks for is company," Kari suggested. "After all, drinking alone is depressing. Since we've both been lucky enough to be blessed with free drinks by this lovely and generous woman," This was presumption on his part when it came to the cost of eir drinks, but he had a feeling. "Why not enjoy them together? Besides," he added. "If I get too drunk on my own, someone might get it in their mind to take advantage."
