"I warned you I liked to help myself," Kari said with amusement at Leon's dry offense at Kari drinking from his glass. "This is Farendajo. No one here manages to get a quiet evening. You come in one night for a few drinks and bam, next thing you know there's some bizarre alien obliquely trying to seduce you." Kari shrugged. If anything, he was upholding Farendajo tradition.
"It's just as well it's not entirely for you," Kari pointed out, instead of denying it. "It's not like you could afford me. That's the benefit of having mutual friends, you know? You're not stuck footing the bill." Well, they were. Always. But it was in ways they could pay. Although what that was, Kari couldn't imagine. His sister was with Grilka, and he wasn't, which implied he wasn't interested in eir particular charms--and was in fact so disinterested that he'd managed not to fall prey to em anyway, which took some doing. He wasn't stupid but he didn't exactly seem like a genius, either. Muscle, maybe? Kari tilted his head, looking Leon up and down.
"So what's your deal?" he asked, instead of just continuing to guess. "Are you secretly a biospace engineer or something? Really fast runner?" Doubtful, they already had one of those. "Or is your sister just that hot?"
His drink, Kari noticed, was getting pretty low. He was quite a drinker, huh! Well, Kari's drinks were always free at Farendajo--and many other bars--so he didn't mind sharing the good karma, so to speak. "Xotll, Xotll!" he called, excited calling her over. "Hey, it's slow today, can you make us two galaxy lemonade slushies? But with that renmal stuff in the bottom!"
Xotll tilted her head from side to side as she considered this, then nodded the affirmative. Kari clapped in enthusiasm, which in turn made Xotll excited. They were like a little idiotic feedback loop, which was probably what Grilka liked about them.
