what's up, beratna?
[ just keep blaming alex for this one, miller, because it's your name now.
after the arrival of his backpack, kovacs had been laying fairly low, staring at the fucking thing and trying not to see ghosts in the corners of his eyes.
he'd failed at a lot of that. ]

I prefer to think of them as practical standards, thank you. [ Though really, she does have quite a low bar. Haven't helped commit genoice against an entire population? Haven't murdered any children? You're golden in her book. One final sip and her glass is woefully empty - she sets it on the bar so he can resolve that issue for her. ]
[ he's not the only one seeing ghosts. but he's still not expecting the text, even if he really should be after their last conversation. kovacs is like a dog with a goddamn bone when he gets something in his head. ]

[Ricki looks from it to him, eyes widening a little, because;]
I'm unspeakably fucking jealous, all I found was a switchblade. Where did it turn up?
[While he pours himself about a thumbfull and comes to lean his elbows on the bartop opposite him.]
What will you do for ammo?

Same difference, isn't it?
[ he pours hers first bc he's a gentleman like that then pours his and catches her eyes, whether they work or not.]
Yam Seng! [ he says just because. he's usually not one for the belter pride bullshit, but lately he's been feeling himself drifting further and further from ceres in more than just physical distance, so maybe this is a way to close the gap. ]

[ Her smile becomes more a smirk at his rhetorical question and she shakes her head slightly. Hearing the sound of a drink being poured near her, she reaches for the glass but pauses at the-- toast? ]
Yam Seng? [ She repeats the words with his same inflection, lifting the glass and preparing to take a drink. ] Is that the normal toast where you're from?

Mine was under my pillow.
[The knife that he doesn't pull out.]
I suppose the place is just trying to make things more interesting.

[ He's disappointed that she doesn't recognize the toast. It breaks her heart a little, and she sure as hell understands what it's like to be on your own here.]
Inners? I don't really understand what you mean, but where I'm from, we just say cheers. [ There's an apology in her voice, and she hopes he hears it. She wishes she could give him that piece of home to hold on to. ]

[ Earther. That's not the first time she's heard the phrase. ]
Yeah. It was early 21st century when I was taken, before anyone had left the planet.

Is that a good thing? That it's not too different for you. It's worlds apart from what I'm used to, and in a way I prefer it.
[ Hope you like unfiltered honesty, friend. ]
[ Hope you like unfiltered honesty, friend. ]
[ Ah. Well then. ]
Well, sugar, here's hoping there's something here that's new and exciting for you.
[ She raises her glass slightly and then tilts it back, downing her glass in one go. It gets her a small cough but doesn't stop her from setting her glass back down on the bar for another round. ]
My name's Rogue, by the way.

Not just you.
[He admits, and takes a healthy gulp of his own.]
It's just precarious enough here that you don't want to make anything worse by causing serious trouble. Plus, no one has any sense of humour.
