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.

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 ]

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.]

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.

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

Violence, mainly.

[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?

You got me, I was talking about fighting crime.

[ he put it horribly as a joke ]

Is that really the only thing you do to destress?

[ 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 ]
