"How much of the night do you remember?" He asked with idle curiosity. Getting drunk at a place like this at the bar wouldn't have been his idea of a good time. Especially not when giant snake monsters tend to appear when you least expect them.
Xotll's thumbs up decided him. She probably thought he'd been- nope. Not going there. He downed the full glass and shuddered at the feel of fizzing gelatin sliding down his throat. He should probably make Noel start giving him lessons on how to talk to people. It was practically impossible from her since conversation flowed so naturally and she understood him on such a basic level, but this wasn't their home planet. He couldn't get away with just being quiet in a corner all the time, especially since they'd be spending more days like this in the future. They needed to do something about this. If only he'd brought his fucking data pad.
"I-" No, wait, never mind. Probably best not to address that. He hadn't thought it had come off as a serious offer, but... Words, intentions. Difficult to express. "Vividly," Leon finally put down his glass and contemplated ordering shots himself instead of remaining at the mercy of Xotll's whims. On the other hand, he didn't want to get drunk. Not when he was already stuck in this conversation, "Our dignity is still under negotiations. Currently undergoing negotiations. Hmm," He tapped his finger against the bar, avoiding eye contact with the barmaid and hoping she was serving other customers somewhere and would forget about him for the time being, "My sister's is sold and being sampled, mine is being negotiation. It'll probably be on a contract basis. So, fizzing vodka jello."
Oh, shit, he could see her bounding his way. He really, really, really hoped this one wouldn't involve the blowtorch.
