Leon wasn't doing a lot to convince Kari he wasn't fucking his sister, gushing about her the way he was, but Kari had at least enough manners not to point that out. It wasn't like really close, non-incesty siblings couldn't gush about each other. He was being polite.
"You dance?" Kari interjected, looking delighted. "Oh my god, you're literal snake-charmers! Wait, that's a really earth-centric concept, fuck, I'm not sure if it'd still be funny if I explained it." Being in Terran space, it was easy to forget. The culture still leaned towards human-centric no matter how mixed it was, and Kari had been a rich white boy raised on Earth, to boot. Just because the world seemed design for him didn't mean he had to be egocentric about it. "It would be a really funny joke if we were on Earth," he said finally, with a sigh. "I promise."
"We're in a bar," Kari pointed out. "There's intoxicants for like fifty different races behind that bar. Oh, have you guys tried the memti yet? I have no idea what it does to Rasmodians."
"You're shy," Kari marveled, with the tone of a revelation. "That's why she's off with Grilka and you're not." Kari considered it briefly. He was the opposite of shy, so it was difficult. "Dude, that must suck." He pushed his margarita down the bar towards Leon, since their drinks would take a hot minute for Xotll to craft. "Don't let Grilka know," he advised, perhaps his first genuine advice of the evening, although it had all been good. "Ey'll give you absolute hell."
