When we're heading near a pool? Never again.

[ ;P ]

[uncurtained]

Come on, I told you I satisfied my quota already.

[unpredicktable]

But did you? Did you really?

[uncurtained]

[She presses a finger to her lips and tilts her head in a overstated expression of curiosity.]

I guess we'll find out.

[But here they are, at the pool.]

[unpredicktable]

[ dick dramatically gives the pool a wide berth, even as he follows her ]

Nope. Won't catch me twice.

[uncurtained]

Not right now, I won't.

[That's all she says before she heads to the bar, though, looking over the bottles with a tilt of her head.]

Hm... What flavor are you in the mood for?

[unpredicktable]

[ dick goes over and leans against it as he watches her pick things before answering, a bit wry; ]

Anything without whiskey in it.

[uncurtained]

Not a fan?

[She's grabbing a bottle of tequila and a salt shaker, so it's probably obvious enough she's planning on margaritas.]

[unpredicktable]

More like... someone's idea of how to help me cope last week means I'd rather pass this time.

[ and then like he didn't say shit; ]

Margaritas. Nice.

[uncurtained]

Oh, no. How bad was your hangover?

[She nods.]

Salt on the rim, or no?

[unpredicktable]

Decent. Drank a lot of water.

[ he's smart even when he's drunk, apparently. he tilts his head ]

You gotta go classic, right?

[ he has drank a margarita maybe twice in his life at the most. ]

[uncurtained]

Well, at least it sounds like you didn't mix liquors. Did you throw up?

[She gives him a smile, more to his second comment than her first, before she moves away from the bar to hand him the drink.]

Cheers.

[unpredicktable]

No, but I think that was my first time getting drunk for real.

[ he has superhero work so often it's not exactly. much of an option. he takes his and, because she said cheers, he clinks his drink to hers before drinking because it's Necessary ]

[uncurtained]

I'm impressed it took so long, in a place like this.

[Once she realizes what he's about to do, she raises her glass so he can tap them together easier before she takes a sip.]

[unpredicktable]

Mmm. [ dick sips his own, wondering how much of a downer it would be to mention he had a friend who kinda fell into addiction before deciding on a different, funnier truth: ] I'm impressed you think I don't have way more reckless coping mechanisms.

[uncurtained]

Oh, really? Well, now you’ll have to clue me in on what they are.

[unpredicktable]

Violence, mainly.

[uncurtained]

[She looks... unsure how to take that for a moment, but her voice is just as light when she continues.]

For the greater good, right?

[unpredicktable]

You got me, I was talking about fighting crime.

[ he put it horribly as a joke ]

[uncurtained]

Is that really the only thing you do to destress?

[unpredicktable]

[ he laughs ]

No. If I'm really honest, it's gymnastics. B had an entire rig set up just for my acrobatics when I was a kid. So-- even worse than violence. I work out.

[ no shit you do buddy ]

[uncurtained]

[With a laugh:]

Really? I never would have guessed.

[unpredicktable]

I know, right? I hide it so well.

[ sips his margarita like the liar he is ]

[uncurtained]

You know, some people might say you're not being truthful.

[She takes a sip, too.]

[unpredicktable]

That'd be pretty slanderous of them.
