Libertonian Servicemember's Bar & Grill

[rainth345]

The Lieutenant noticed the Primary pilot looking suspiciously towards them.
"Captain, one's looking at us."
The Captain slowly turned his head to face the pilot. He then looked at his wine.
"Maybe he's looking at this."
He points to his hat and then realizes that its still there the moment they sat down. Slowly but surely he takes the hat off and places it neatly at his side.The Lieutenant suddenly looks around the place and sees almost everyone drinking beer,whiskey, etc.
"I think we're the only ones who have ordered white wine."
The Captain follows the Lieutenant's lead, "Your right.... Lets make this more interesting."
He calls the waiter and asks for the Grill's specialty. The waiter hurries to the kitchen to deliver the Captain's order. Minutes later, the waiter, obviously sweating, carries two plates of steaming, sizzling burger steaks. The crackle of the plate attracts the attention of the bar. Many stop to see what they were hearing.
"A fine choice... eh, Lieutenant?" As the Captain said while grinning the Lieutenant.
"I'm su-ure it is, Sir.", the Lieutenant unnervingly said.
The Captain flings the serviette across his lap, much like the waiters do on those fancy restaurant, and readies himself for the meal.
The waiter carefully sets down the plates,
"Careful, gentlemen. It's still cooking."
The waiter immediately hurries back to the kitchen but before he can move, the Captain grabs his hand and conspicuously hands the waiter a hundred credit note.
"Thank you, my good man."
To which the waiter replied, "How gracious of you, Captain."
The Captain smiles and assuringly says, "No need for thanking me."
The Lieutenant looks at meal, "Quite odd for you to be ordering this." The Captain shrugs, raises his glass and stands up. In a calm and orderly voice he says,
"Ladies and Gentlemen." He looks around at the Bar. "I would like to give a toast to the Liberty Navy. For Freedom, Justice, and Liberty. And may our war with the Rheinlanders end in our favor."
He sits down and immediately stands up, "Oh, and a free round of drinks from me."
The Captain smiles and finally sits down. He nods to the Lieutenant and to the waiter whom he tipped awhile ago.
The two start to eat their meals
