"They created my people. And one of them is an ancestor of mine. I've not met any of them and I've no desire to do so either."

action

[candothat]

"They created you? Then no, you're good to be wary. Anyone with the power to create likely has just as much power to destroy."

But that's not terribly cheerful. Chekov brightens and pushes one of the shot glasses closer to Laruna. "You have eaten enough to try this without many ill effects, I should think."

Re: action

[water_wine_wizard]

She gives him a wan smile. "We were created as... canon fodder."

But! Onto drinking because she needs one now.

"Good. Do you just down it?" Because she will.

action

[candothat]

"All of life is canon fodder, creator or not," he replies cheerfully. It's just a fact.

"No, no, but you are allowed to do that. At home, we never drink without a toast." Chekov raises his own shot glass. "Za tvajo zdarovye. And now we drink."

Re: action

[water_wine_wizard]

Laruna tries to copy what he said and horribly butchers it. But she butchers it in good cheer.

Then she drinks a horribly thoughtful expression on her face.

action

[candothat]

Chekov mangles English on a regular basis; he certainly isn't going to get on anyone if they mispronounce a Russian toast.

"What do you think of it?"

Re: action

[water_wine_wizard]

"It's good! I like it."

Give her a few more tries.

action

[candothat]

He refills his empty glass and offers more to Laruna. "Is it very different from other things you have had?"

Re: action

[water_wine_wizard]

She takes it, of course.

"It has a different bite to it," she says.

action

[candothat]

"Yes! Is it possible for you to replicate it, do you think?"

Re: action

[water_wine_wizard]

There's another drink, as she thinks. "It'd take some time. I think I know what I did wrong, but again..."

action

[candothat]

"It's a difficult thing to master, the art of vodka-making. Russia is the only country to do so."

And, more seriously: "Laruna, what do you like to do? For fun, I mean."

Re: action

[water_wine_wizard]

"Here or back home?" she asks. Because those are two different things. It seems a bit of an odd question too.

action

[candothat]

"Here." Maybe it's an odd question, but Chekov can't imagine what wizards do in their spare time (unless those wizards are Howl, of course, but not all wizards can spend that much time on their hair). "I only think that it would be boring for you in the City, with so little magic."

Re: action

[water_wine_wizard]

"My magic can't do a lot of things. It just allows me to manipulate water," she says, smiling though. "So, all my magic is my own. Currently I've been exploring and trying to figure out a lot of the technology. And of course going drinking and dancing."

And having sex with people.

action

[candothat]

Do tell. No, actually, don't. Pavel doesn't need to learn about Laruna's sexploits.

"I could help you with the technology, if you like. The drinking and dancing... eh. I like those things, but you are likely better at both."

Re: action

[water_wine_wizard]

He could be a sexploit if he'd like.

"I would! My brother's mentioned things like it before but he's no help. And I could help you with the drinking and dancing."

action

[candothat]

Talk to him in a few days when his girlfriend has disappeared from the City.

"That would be a fair exchange, I think."

Re: action

[water_wine_wizard]

Oh noes! There will be drinks and comfort.

"Wonderful!" She lifts up her glass and butchers the toast again.
