"Oh, you know snakes!" Kari said, relieved. He hadn't been sure he would. His brief research into his would-be 'targets' had confirmed that they hadn't been off-planet before. He'd been expecting rubes and... he hadn't really not gotten a rube. A cute rube. A cube? No, that was something else.
"Probably best to figure out what it does first," Kari said with a laugh. They might not have the choice, to be honest. Grilka could be careful about where ey breathed it, sometimes, but it didn't take much for em to get careless. Or, uh... deliberately careless. "It's just like, kind of a sedative for humans, and mellows the uuuuh, aggression, let's say, out of Krotazi, but it has some weird effects on some races."
"Did you not even know you were shy?" Kari pressed, sounding amazed and delighted. "Oh my god!" That was adorable. He was like, so dumb, but in a fun, new way! Oh, Grilka would love em once ey got to know him. Although maybe emotionally dumb wasn't the kind of dumb ey liked best? Hard to say. Would be fun to find out, though, and Kari was willing to bet if he lurked around Leon enough, he'd get a front row seat sooner or later.
"Let's see what other personal revelations you can be guided to with the help of copious amounts of alcohol!" Kari decided, completely ignoring Leon's decision to not get drunk. Kari knew all the most deceptively sweet and powerful drinks in Xotll's lexicon. Because they were his favorites. "Ooooh, speak of the devil! Or the angel in this case," he added as Xotll approached with two carefully held drinks. "Alcoholic angel of my heart, my one true love--"
"Oh, stop," Xotll said, blushing a furious dark purple as she set the drinks down. It was clear why they'd taken so long; they were a frozen slurry of ice and alcohol, blue on top, the glowing pink of a Relmal Sunrise on bottom, stained purple in the middle. Each one had a brightly colored straw sticking out of it.
"They look so good! Oooh, it's like a frozen Relmal Sunrise, but it's human, I love it so much, Xotll you are an artist and a genius," Kari said, enthused beyond what was probably reasonable. "Let's try it, let's try it! Come on, let's sip at the same time!"
