Yeah, I got my tonsils out when I was... Eleven or twelve, I think. What about you? Unless that's also classified.

[crashout]

[A wince.] I've been lucky to avoid surgery. [He looks at his empty glass for a minute before he refills it.] Couple of years back I got really sick with the flu and got sent to the hospital by one of my boss's. Nothing too exciting.

[But also not the best. Hm...] Never have I ever owned a car.

[uncurtained]

Must have been a pretty nasty flu. It's good they were looking out for you.

[She doesn't drink.]

I just borrowed my mom's when I was in high school and needed one, or rode with my friends when I was in undergrad.

[crashout]

[There's a shrug. They did, but he still hates hospitals thanks.]

I've never been able to afford one, so I'm out, too. [...] I lived in walking distance from work and where I was going to school, and now I hitch rides with some of my coworkers.

[uncurtained]

[She nods.]

What'd you major in? We talked about my writing thing, now it's your turn.

[crashout]

Well I...I didn't graduate. So I didn't really major in anything.

[uncurtained]

No shame in that. It's not for everyone.

[But it still feels a little awkward, so she moves on.]

Never have I ever shoplifted.

[crashout]

Yeah. [He feels like he has to defend himself though, so.] I only had a few months left. But a job opportunity came up.

[No drink from him yet.] What're we counting as shoplifting?

[uncurtained]

Do you ever think about going back? I mean, not that you have to or anything, just... You mentioned jumping around a lot, as far as work went.

[She tilts her head.]

I think the generally accepted definition is stealing something from any kind of store.

[crashout]

Nope. [That's immediate, probably the most sure he's sounded.] I didn't really like what I was studying anyway. Economics, mostly. Cryptocurrency. Numbers. Stuff like that. I don't really need it.

[He spins the shot glass but he doesn't drink. Seems like that's still the same. ] Never have I ever drank underage.

[uncurtained]

Not too interested in going into accounting or something like that?

[She laughs, then takes a sip.]

You caught me.

[crashout]

It wasn't ever really my idea. [But there's a half-smile.] That doesn't shock me.

[But zero judgment.]

[uncurtained]

[Okay, she'll bite.]

Really? Why not?

[crashout]

You just seem like the type. Smart, capable, social. Those kind of things.

[uncurtained]

[She laughs a little, surprised.]

And being smart and capable translates to underage drinking?

[crashout]

Being smart and capable translates to someone who likes to take risks and see if they can stay in control. [Calmly.]

[uncurtained]

[Her lips quirk up into a smile as she takes another sip, unprompted this time.]

I do like to come out on top.

[stop,,,]

Anyways... Never have I ever been on a sports team.

[crashout]

[Oh. He looks a little amused because phrasing, but...then he outright laughs. It's a short sound but it's there.]

Do I look that athletic?

[uncurtained]

You can't always tell just by looking. But I'm guessing that's a no...?

[crashout]

That's a no. [He seems to think if he wants to say more.] I wasn't really a team sort of person in high school or anything. Never had an interest in sports besides what's on TV. Soccer, mostly.

[uncurtained]

[She tilts her head.]

Are you a team sort of person now?

[crashout]

[...he takes a drink in lieu of answering because he doesn't want to really say.]

[uncurtained]

Classified. Got it.

[...]

Your turn.

[crashout]

[Hm...]

Never have I ever dated someone. [Let's turn this around a little.]

[uncurtained]

[She takes a sip, even though she's looking at him with renewed interest.]

Really. Interesting... Can I ask why not?
