I'm Too Old For This Shit

Yeah, I know. I used to not like it too, if you can believe it. Because of that! It’s everywhere and it can make you sad. Then I thought, there are a lot of different kinds of love, not just romantic love, so it’s cool to celebrate all of that!

Awww. I hope you have a good sleep, then! I love Valentines Day. You get candy, and get to tell all your friends how important they are to you! Like you! You’re cool and important to me, Zio!

It will be in four minutes!!!

"So your stomach didn’t get obliterated from the inside out? I’m impressed, I was never going to try drinking it at all, I’ve never been too good with the really strong stuff from Earth never mind what could happen if I drank something made for a krogan," she laughed softly, but she was genuinely amazed the asari in front of her was so flippant to it. But then again, there was probably more of a story behind it, right?

Drinking to get away from work? Oh, she knew that feeling far too well. “From what I hear, the kick is pretty good. But if you’ve handled Ryncol I guess you can take most things I could possibly throw at you anyway.”

"No, but I believe part of the reason is because my biotics have always done a good job of burning off a lot of alcohol. I wouldn't recommend it trying it if you're not a biotic. Or not good at holding your liquor," Zio said as she tapped at something on the datapad. "I could probably handle it now that I am a matriarch, but I would rather not risk it; I'm not quite the thrill-seeker I once was."

A small smile made its way onto the bartender’s face at the asari’s laugh and comment about hallucinating, she wasn’t sure why they had that particular drink, she assumed it was due to all the soldiers on shore leave who found it…interesting to say the least. 

"Ah, fair enough. I’m amazed you’re still alive after it, from what I hear it’s strong,strong stuff. Burukh is that krogan cocktail, the one you set on fire and drink hot. Make sure to blow it out beforehand though, saw a guy’s beard get burned off once when he forgot." She visibly winced at the memory but tried not to think about it too much.

"I have a high tolerance for alcohol, but even that didn't save me from the hangover from hell I got from it," she said, shaking her head. "I definitely don't recommend it straight. Water it down first and it won't hit you like a train." Even then it was still strong, but at least it wouldn't put you out for a few hours.

Estelle had been busy relaying the different drinks in her head, like that Elasa, they didn’t have that one in but it supposedly had some sort of cold and sharp feeling to it. A beautiful green colour not quite unlike the eyes of that one woman who came by when she was on shore leave that one time…but before she had time to reminisce she was flagged down by an asari with a datapad.

"Guessing you don’t want anything krogan then? We have Weeping Heart but I guess you don’t want to be hallucinating right? Asari hard liquor’s pretty strong right? Or Burukh but that’s krogan too…"

The matriarch drummed her fingers against her datapad for a beat, thinking over some of the options the young woman had given her. The mention of hallucinating, however, made her laugh. She would be lying if she said it wasn't tempting, but she did still have work to do.

Zio had been sitting in the bar for almost an hour without drinking anything, which was odd for her. But the datapads in front of her told of why she wasn't drinking, but with the way she was scowling at them said that it wouldn't belong before she was drinking. She then huffed and flagged down one of the bartenders.
