[i]The drink hit like a freight train, the taste extraordinarily rich and flavourful, spicy just as the name suggested. It tasted amazing, but the alcohol in it.. gods was it strong, burning pleasantly on the way down Victoria's throat. Helena just watched with an amused expression.[/i]
"How old're ya, really?"
[i]The tone in her voice practically screamed that she wasn't taking some vague shit for an answer, even as she grabbed the fake passport and stuffed it into one of her pockets. Still, she spoke quietly enough for the bartender not to hear.[/i]

"I turned eighteen yesterday." She panted for breath with her tongue sticking out a little as she wasn't used to the spiciness or alcohol. The girl's wings seemed to relax finally though. "N-Not much of a celebration..."
-
[i]The woman couldn't help but let out a light laugh at the poor girl's reaction to the booze, a wide, wolfish, shit-eating grin practically engraved across her face, since she just couldn't get rid of it. Was too damn amusing.[/i] "So technically y'can [i]barely[/i] drink that alcohol," [i]Hel concluded with a soft snort, her attention going back to her own rum as she sipped it.[/i]
-
"Y-Yeah...I guess...." Victoria took another sip, which caused the same effect. She coughed a little and then panted like a dog with the spiciness being too much for her.
-
[i]Hel was almost tempted to just snatch the drink away and chug it as if it were a mere shot, but she decided to pass on that, instead letting Vic enjoy the rum... even if it didn't seem like she was doing a lot of enjoying.[/i] "So, first time drinkin'?"
-
"Mhmm!" Violet nodded, trying to keep her mouth closed during the next sip. She made a strange face while attempting to do so. The poor girl was trying hard for some reason.
-
[i]Hel just gave Victoria another estranged look, lips pursed and eyebrow raised high. If expressions could speak, hers would be screaming "what the fuсk" rather loudly, because goddamn was the little lady doing something weird in the eyes of a very experienced... alcohol connoisseur.[/i] "The fuсk are you tryin' t'do?"
-
"T-Trying not to pant! Oh! How do you drink this?!" Victoria coughed loudly before shaking her head and keeping her mouth open again to rid of some of the spiciness.
-
"Like so." [i]Without any ceremony or fancy preparation, Helena just lifted her glass up to her lips, cocked her head back, and threw what remained of her drink down her gullet, all in one go, as if it was a shot. With a satisfied sigh and a wide smirk, she sat her glass back down.[/i]
-
"Hmm...." Victoria did the most stupid thing ever and copied exactly what Helena did, she chugged the rest of her practically full glass. When she was done she slammed down her glass and let out a loud burp, which caused her to blush in embarrassment. "O-Oh, excuse me..."
-
[i]Helena gave a sarcastic applause when Victoria went and chugged her entire glass, though beneath all the sarcasm and mocking, the woman was actually just a teeny tiny little bit impressed, even if she'd die before she showed it.[/i] "Well done," [i]She commented with an uncharacteristically genuine tone.[/i] "Didn't think ya had 't in ya."
-
"Th-Thanks...?" Victoria fluttered her eyes and shook her head as if trying to clear her head. "I-Is the room a bit w-wobbly or is it just me?"
-
"Lightweight, arencha? Didn't know what else t'expect, considerin' the Kraken holds, like... 40% APV. 'Least y'didn't vomit." [i]Helena grinned wide as she watched Victoria, the poor girl already drunk, probably. She was planning on leaving her on her own, since there was no way her Captain would approve of her bringing a stranger in, but... eh, Vic would live. Probably.[/i]
-
"I-I'm fine...." Violet looked over at Helena with a large grin and an expression that easily showed off how much of a lightweight she is. "H-Hey, did you know the wing twitch thing is a sign of arousal?" The girl giggled. "It sucks when people know that because they'll begin notice it happens a lot."

[spoiler]http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/205/251/hansenlol.jpg[/spoiler] [i]And when Victoria said that, Helena's plans to ditch her became about twenty times more definite, because while she wasn't exactly chaste, she didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Kevin Spacey. Lord, she could already hear Chris Hansen offering her a seat. As such, she only slowly blinked in response, looking rather blankly at the young lady before her attention shifted back to the bar with a soft mutter under her breath. She lightly started tapping on the bar, a quick glance at the tender getting her a refill.[/i] "I could've hap'ly lived 'nother eighty years without ever learnin' that. Gods, 'n they've been twitchin' since m'fuсkin' helmet came off..."
-
"Mhmm!" Victoria giggled, wrapping an arm around Helena's shoulders. "Like I said, they twitch a lot. Did I say that? I dunno..."
-
[i]And now, the temptation to shoot Victoria was there, too. Helena had plenty of guns perfectly in reach, so grabbing one wouldn't be an issue, but...[/i] "Get the fuсk off of me, kid." [i]That worked.[/i]
-
"Oh? Sorry!" She giggled, letting go of Helena. "Didn't mean to piss ya off, honey! Hey, can I get another round, bartender!"
-
"Gods, this was a mistake," [i]Hel murmured beneath her breath, though she nonetheless got herself another drink, both her and Vic getting their refill at the same time.[/i] "I'm not takin' ya home, FYI." [i]Probably was gonna ditch her, really. Definitely, actually.[/i]
-
"That's okay! I drunk better when I'm fly!" The winged girl downed the whole drink before stumbling out of her seat and crashing to the floor. She got up and walked to the door.
-
"Ya've never been drunk b'fore... Eh, whatever. Bye-bye!" [i]Helena waved Victoria off as she stumbled and fell, only to lean over the bar and to the tender behind it, whispering something along the lines of "I'm not payin' for 'er" since he was quick to whistle over. "Ma'am, you still have to pay."[/i]
