[ she hooks her arm around his -- lightly, casually. it's done in a manner that certainly suggests she was doing so on a great many of her own terms. she likes to grandstand like that. just a bit. ]
Ah. See? That's what I like. Alcoholic loyalty. Which isn't to say....I just meant -- y'know, of the alcohol variety. Not...AA-style.
Gin. I remember. Besides -- let us please loop back to the part where I admitted to dating Jack Sparrow. I think my notion of what defines an alcoholic has been...severely rewritten.
I drank with him once. We had whiskey together. I do enjoy a good whiskey when the occasion or the company calls for it. Perhaps he thought our meeting a good occasion.
Sometime, Mister Burgess? When we're better friends and I'm having a way worse day? You might actually get to witness what's locally known as the Summers Booze Face.
Mmm. Breakfast. You know what they say about breakfast, right? Most important meal of the day. Okay, so sometimes I eat it before I even go to bed but...that still counts. Right?
So they tell me. My habits aren't so steadfast, but I follow my desires. Something of a lifestyle, so I should think it counts. Breakfast is my favourite.
[Guy follows her through the door, seemingly proud of himself.]
The very one! Perhaps you will have to come join our lot over at the house for the occasion of breakfast. Or I could throw Anthony and Kim for a terrible hoop and do as you so enjoy. Fix it for dinner!
Actually -- [ she smirks ] -- I meant it more along the lines of I'm usually out all night and don't get back until breakfast, but...but pancakes for dinner? Never something I'd complain about.
Even before the job, actually. Me? I'm a night owl. Night...what's a prettier bird than an owl? [ she vaults the bar. easy. graceful. powerful. ] Alright. One gin, coming up.
Oooh boy. Talk about cheeky. [ she can practically feel the sparrow-shaped tattoo burning on her shoulder. stamped. tied. connected. funny how it didn't feel restricting.
buffy pours a double and slaps down a coaster. ] Enjoy.

Being the gentleman he is, he offers an arm to her. Even ponces have manners.]

No worries. I'm not an alcoholic, you see. Alcoholics don't have their preferences, and I most certainly do.
[Stellar logic there. But he believes it with all his heart.]

[He looks as curious as he sounds. It's one way of getting to know the mettle of people, seeing them with a few spirits.]
Perhaps on a poorer day I'll offer my own ridiculous display and breakfast when you feel even worse come morning.

Waffles. Me? I particularly like waffles.

I make waffles. I like toast in the mornings, though cakes are always good. With plenty atop them. Black sausages, eggs.

Cakes? Of the pan-variety, I assume?

I'd love to come over.

We'll have to arrange an evening when you aren't dolling out the drinks. I'm sure Anthony and Kim won't mind some fresh faced company.

[The more honest answer is 'mostly' but he doesn't feel the need to be completely honest. Not about something so trivial and said in jest regardless.
That gin is the first of many that Guy will drain this day. Ahh, an afternoon in his favourite getaway spot Luceti had to offer.]
