Happy Hour

[vorpatril]

Most days Ylla is a relaxing post, one where he doesn't have to do much but today fate decided it all been going too well. When he was doing his visit to the consulate, a well preserved high Vor passed through and everyone's plans were thrown off as he had to have everything how he wanted it. Ivan is good at dealing with old Vor, he learned from his mother but this one wasn't happy with anything and didn't trust Ivan to get anything right.

Finally he was able to escape at the end of the day but he knows he'll need to make plans or tomorrow will be awful. He's in his green uniform with the collar loosened, he's had to keep it tight all day or get a glare. Where he was expecting to find the door to his house, he finds Milliways, at the counter when he's asked to bartend, he grumbles, "Yes, but only because I really want a drink."

Specials
Wine
Beer
Brandy
Mixed drinks but only if they're simple, if you tell me I'm doing it wrong, it costs double

Then he pours himself a glass of wine and sits behind the counter.

(OOC: Open until another Happy Hour goes up or this scrolls.)

"I don't think we've made introductions." The man smiles over his pint of dark porter and offers out a gloved hand. "Moon Shadow."

[vorpatril]

"Captain Ivan Vorpatril of Barrayar. Moon Shadow, that's an evocative name."

[basic_powers]

Well, it also goes with the crescent moon across his chest.

"I'd like to think so."

[vorpatril]

Ivan figured that was created to go with the name, "What city do you protect?"

[basic_powers]

...ehh. It's the interdimensional bar that no one else from his world has visited in years. Safe enough place to discuss it.

"Seattle, Washington. I've only been there about three years, which has probably been too long already."

[vorpatril]

"I've never been there but I've been to Earth."

[basic_powers]

"It's a nice enough place, and maybe some day, I might settle down permanently somewhere like it."

Maybe. If his parents every give up on their mission to turn him into a super-powered wears-their-underwear-outside-their-tights superhero.

He kind of doubts it though.

[vorpatril]

"Settling down is difficult. I've only recently started to get the hang of it. My wife's helping with that."

[basic_powers]

"Oh? How is that going, I've never had to settle back into a more..civilian life before."

[vorpatril]

"It suits me, most of my work has been desk work with some exciting exceptions. Also my wife makes it a pleasure."

[basic_powers]

He's...not going to comment on that very obvious bit of innuendo. Just laugh a little at it.

"No bet on that, you did marry her."

[vorpatril]

Tej brings the inneundo out in him because she's that beautiful,

"Oh yes, but we didn't plan it out. One of those marriages that began almost by accident and then worked."

[basic_powers]

"So you two didn't court each other?"

[vorpatril]

"No, I was trying to help her then spies and immigration were involved. A wedding was simplest."

[basic_powers]

"Ah," There's a slight wince, he did walk into that one. Well, he's not one to leave a comment on a wedding for a citizenship. "I think I can fill in the spaces with that one on my own."

[vorpatril]

Ivan smiles, its soft and fond with a wince in it, "Unless it includes buried treasure and far too much family, you probably aren't."

[basic_powers]

"Well, maybe not all of the spaces. But enough of them to walk across the gist of it." He admits freely, with a tilt of the head and long pull of that dark beer.

[vorpatril]

"It was an exciting couple of months."
