[A rather bemused Sparky walked into the lobby, and made his way over to the makeshift bar where Rusty stood.

Without a word, he plopped down and helped himself to a big bottle of hooch, doing without the glass.]

[...]

Alright, what happened.

[It's an order, beause seriously Sparky even he uses a glass. Even after dying again.]

[Sparky just blinks at his otherself a bit before replying.]

I just spent a month on my dead planet.

[Pause. A little more.]

Then I kissed Elena, and she freaked out and ran.

Use a glass.

[Have one as well, becuase seriously, this is a semi-classy establishment you know.]

...Elena huh?

[He still sees her as the jailbat sister of a Turk man.]

An' I know for a fact you're not that terrible of a kisser to freak someone out to the point of running, so that's not it.

[Fine, he'll use a glass under protest.

And then blurts out the whole story about planning the kids's training then kissing Elena and how she ran out.]

I feel like an ass for kissing her. Seems like she was just playing...

She said she'd meet for drinks in two days. If she shows she's serious, if not then she ain't.

[You are full of drama and he is too sober to wrap his head around giving himself love advice.]

She may not even be wanting something too serious, considering how this place is but someone familiar who's not opposed to a couple of make out sessions a week can help you deal with the bullshit a lot easier.

...maybe ya had to be there. [Sparky is not entirely sober at this point. Nope. And he hasn't eaten anything in a while so it's going to his head.]

Or know her better.

[Because yeah... he doesn't really. At all.]

Timeline bullshit, yadda yadda.

[Just going to rest his head here on the bar.]

I don't know her that well anymore either. She's in the future even with me... changed a lot. Y'know... more turk-ish, less... rookie-ish.

Last I knew her she was jailbait Sparky.

[Sigh, an he'd ruffle your hair if it woldn't have been too wierd.]

So, treat her like a Turk who's got a thing for you then. There's not much better to do in places like this other than train, eat, sleep and find people to have sex with.

[Lifting up his head to glare, he set it back down because it seemed to be swirling.]

Next you'll be openin' up a regular dating service...

[annnd have a bucket slapped on the bar.]

You're cleaning it up if you get it on the floor, I know that look.

You're a real pal, y'know?

[Said sarcastically, just before he sat up and did grab the bucket.

Bucket used for Great Justice.]

... [Well, he felt better now.]

The hell is in this stuff?

Maybe she was just surprised... she kinda goes outta whack when she's surprised.

Your limit, that's what's in it. No more for you tonight.

[Taking the bottle AND glass away... to be replaced with water.]

Water only, you can't afford a hangover around here with everything going on.

Girls are like that, just play it cool.

[Giving Rusty an mean look, he sulked for a while before drinking the water.]

Hangovers are the least of concern around here...

Ya think I should show up?
