βLove, huh?β Maggie grins confusedly at the term of endearment - itβs not bad, just different. βI donβt think so, Lena - thatβs not alien alcohol. I would know, Iβve met and had a drink with enough of βem. Youβre getting ripped off.β
βWhy would they even bother to lie about that?β Okay, so her presently tipsy self probably wasnβt in the best position to be making decisions or judging whether or not people were being honest. And having a tipsy rich woman asking for alien alcohol might have been a motivating factor.
Realizing something a bit belatedly, Lena squinted a bit at Maggie.Β βBut alien alcohol isΒ real, then?β Wanting to make sure it was clear she had no shady motives, she explained,Β βItβs just a little awkward that every time Kara and I goΒ βout for drinks,β sheβs completely sober while I end up... not.β Rather, automatically trying to keep pace with Kara, who didnβt feel any effect from the alcohol or just drank club soda, the first couple of times she had ended up actually a bit drunk, until Kara noticed and took her home.Β βBut I didnβt know if what I read online was true, and it felt a bit strange -- and perhaps rude -- to invite her to drinkΒ with me in that sense when I had no idea whether it actually existed or where to get it.β
