Toledo Lounge

[Tenacity]

"Think you've had a bit much to drink already, pilot. Go ahead, better sit down before you fall down." Aki said, motioning at the seat across the table. She took a quick glance at his uniform, then stared at him as she thought for a moment, "Hm... Miles, right?" The pilot nodded and Aki sat back again, "I read your file, rough time you've had serving with us. I wont tell you the pain of seeing friends die will go away over time... it wont. I had to watch, and hear, as my nearly the entire crew of my ship were slaughtered by Bounty Hunters, still hear the screams now and then."

The bartender was moving around the room, serving up drinks to those who werent at the bar. Aki motioned at him to pour a round of shots and turned back to Miles as she lifted a glass, "Well, one more drink cant hurt, just dont make a habit of drowning yourself in here pilot, we all have a job to do and I can say with certainty that those who have died would want us to fight on to our last breaths. In their memory..."

Aki tilted her head back and swallowed the ricewine. It burned the throat, but had quick effect... one of the many benefits of the new alliance with the Gas Miner's Guild was quality imports from Kusari that The Order was otherwise unable to procure. Aki couldnt stand most drinks from the other parts of Sirius, but sake was always welcome.
