He began pouring her a glass of the same Coalition Vodka he was going to have. As he poured it, he talked about it, "Some time ago I befriended the former premier of the SCRA. I don't remember how it transpired but we worked things out through some trade. Coalition Vodka is one of the finest vodkas I've ever drank and I have plenty of it." With that, he handed the glass to Ashlea. Taking his own, he brought his glass over and klinked his to hers with a smile and took a sip.
He looked around again with his head as he stood before her. He then took another sip of the vodka and commented, "I was raised fairly well. It was just a different time....a very different time. Most of what I learned stayed with me. Simple things that included respect and being a gentleman." He smiled a moment and added, "You can thank my mother for that one!"
He took another drink, "Trouble...it never failed to find me. I never want it and I'll never provoke it but on occasion it finds me but you can rest assured, Young Lady, that I will not cower to it."
The last thought bothered him a bit but he let it pass. He was enjoying his evening and was finding more intrigue with Ashlea as time past.
