[Look.

Going out for drinks with coworkers isn't something Barnham typically does, but he was naive and relatively new and he had no idea it would lead to this.

This being...well, Sara. Being Sara.

It doesn't take long before she's slurring, picking fights and generally being a handful (and Barnham is really not sure what to do with her), but when her words do seem to hit a nerve for someone--well, he can't tolerate some big, irritated man posturing at her.

(Sara can take care of herself, and yet chivalry dies hard in him.)]

Enough. You are making a fool of yourself for no necessary reason. Cool your head--elsewhere.

[alcobrawlic]

But he started it! [ Sara, he's not talking to you. Also, stop rolling up your sleeves.

This is probably a great impression to leave on a relatively new coworker, but hey-- Thomas, at least, had found it endearing and incredibly amusing. ]

[moraled]

[A soft sigh.]

And now we are ending is, Ms. Valestein. Do you take issue with that?

[alcobrawlic]

Maybe a liiiiiittle punch?

[ Sara, you don't do "little". ]

[moraled]

[Sara, you definitely don't do "little".]

Certainly not. Do not be ridiculous; if any is to be low-grade entertainment at this bar, it will not be us.

[alcobrawlic]

You're just saying that because you haven't had enough beer yet.

[ This man is built like a TANK. ]

[moraled]

[You're not wrong.

He sighs.]

And if you were to get me drunk, who would get the both of us home? [Nah.]

I believe it may already be that time, from your actions.

[alcobrawlic]

Wh-- we've only been here for an houuuuur!

[ Nooooo, she's not ready to go until she's passed out on the floor! ]

[moraled]

And you have only yourself to blame.

[Barnham why are you such a buzzkill.]

Honestly, picking fights when you are more than capable of causing them to regret it...are you doing this on purpose?

[alcobrawlic]

Let's just say it's a little more rewarding when they're thinking you can't even swing a fist around.

[moraled]

[..........]

Should he come on to you again, I suppose one punch may be well-called for.

[BUT DON'T CAUSE A RUCKUS]

[alcobrawlic]

Yeeeees! I knew you weren't completely stiff and stuffy!

[ Thank Aidios, he's not as bad as Neithardt. ]

[moraled]

... Pardon me?

[STIFF AND STUFFY....EXCUSE YOU...]

[alcobrawlic]

I'll be real with you, you look like you have no idea how to smile without it killing you.

[ SARA, TELLING IT LIKE IT IS. ]

[moraled]

[....Rude]

Do you purposefully choose your words to be as insulting as possible, or is that simply something that comes naturally to you?

[alcobrawlic]

Which answer's gonna let you get me to stay here longer? That one.

[moraled]

[Flatly:]

Neither.

We are still leaving soon.

[alcobrawlic]

Don't be a killjoy! This is such a rare experience-- for you, I mean.

[ Obviously she does this a lot?? ]

[moraled]

[... Sara....]

I do not take that as the insult you clearly intend for this to be.

[alcobrawlic]

If you take pride in it, you might need more help than I thought.

[moraled]

I certainly do not need any help from your ilk, Ms. Valestein.

[Pls stop.

Why you gotta be like this.]

[alcobrawlic]

Lucky for you, there's no ilk around-- just me. The best teacher Thors could possibly offer!

[ SUCH MODESTY. ]

[moraled]

[... Sara no.]

... Some decorum would not be amiss.

[...]

Or some modesty and humility.

[alcobrawlic]

You already have enough of that to make up for the entire student body.

[moraled]

I am not the person in question at the moment.
