[Yay fruity drinks. Barry will totally take his and perch on the stool as he sips it, before pulling back with wide eyes.]

Wow, you can't even taste the alcohol in that.

[Words he will probably regret later.]

[withasouvenir]

[ thea grins, starting to feel relaxed for the first time since barry showed up and turned her life inside out. ]

That's kinda the point, you know.

[supertardiness]

[Barry didn't mean to do that, for the record. He's just talks to much and lets the wrong secrets spill ninety percent of the time, and keeps the ones he should tell.]

Well ... yeah, but when I used to be able to drink, I always made sure I could taste it. That way, when I stopped, I'd know it was time to switch to water.

[Or, you know, pass out somewhere because he was a nerd and a lightweight.]

[withasouvenir]

Water is for wimps who can't hold their booze. [ it's funny bc thea's half a foot shorter than him, but she's been drinking since she was twelve so she's pretty much a pro now. ]

[supertardiness]

[He smirks as he takes another sip.]

Yeah, well, I was a physics and chem nerd who liked to avoid hangovers, especially when my professors were kind enough to schedule eight AM exams on a Saturday.

[Science kids have it so hard.]

[withasouvenir]

Reasons I am neither a nerd nor a college student. [ i mean, she's a huge fucking nerd, just about pop culture. she clinks her glass against his though, before taking her own, much heartier, sip. ]

[supertardiness]

It's definitely not the life for everyone.

[He says like he's talking about some kind of exclusive secret society, because he's that kind of nerd too.]

Not everyone can keep up with our fast paced world of chemical reactions and hardcore math.

[withasouvenir]

[ laughing: ] Oh my god, stop, I'm going to puke and I'm still sober.

[supertardiness]

[He grins in response before taking another sip of his drink and leaning back against the bar.]

So do you come here a lot? London, I mean.

[withasouvenir]

Yeah, once or twice a week. I always feel cooped up at the castle. I love the city, I'm not sure I'm built for country living.

[supertardiness]

[Barry nods in agreement.]

I've never been to Europe. Depending on how busy we are once I'm officially ... employed again, I was thinking of maybe running around and seeing what I can see.

[His mom always talked about traveling. She wouldn't have wanted him to deny himself the opportunity.]

[withasouvenir]

You can stroll, you know. Casually walk. Art museums are much better at a turtle's pace, for the record.

[supertardiness]

[His eyes blink for a moment, before he shakes his head.]

Oh, no. I'll stroll once I get there. But it's faster for me to run there than take a train or drive.

[withasouvenir]

You never really understood the concept of "it's the journey that matters, not the destination", did you?

[supertardiness]

[He ducks his head a bit before shrugging.]

The journey's important, don't get me wrong. It's nothing against the scenic route. If it's just me though, the scenic route just seems to ... drag itself out a little too much.

[Speedstering makes him impatient as a default. Things need to go faster and trains do not go fast enough.]

[withasouvenir]

Remind me never to go on a road trip with you. [ she laughs, fishing a cherry out of her drink to pop it in her mouth. ]

[supertardiness]

[He laughs a little bit at that before shrugging.]

It's different if I'm traveling with someone else. Then there's ... a distraction. There's someone I'm sharing it with.

[withasouvenir]

What if you run to Paris and I'll meet you at the Louvre when my flight lands? [ ah compromise. ] Then you'll have worked out all that excess energy before slowly looking at the art.

[supertardiness]

[He raises his fruity drink to her before nodding his agreement.]

See? Perfect. Best of both worlds.

[withasouvenir]

[ as they finish their drinks, thea orders a couple more, different flavors so barry doesn't get bored. thea cut her teeth on her mom's booze cabinet and light watered down beer at house parties, she isn't discerning, but she doesn't want to make barry drink that shit. ]

Anyway, I checked out the British Museum, it's pretty cool. I felt cultured.

[supertardiness]

[Barry is all for some variety, and he will try the new flavor with an "Mmmm!" and keeps drinking without a care for the alcohol content. I'm sure that won't come back to bite him later.]

That does sound very culture-y.

[There's a sound that could be a giggle.]

Culture-y.

[withasouvenir]

[ oh precious lightweight. ]

How many times do you think you can say it before it stops sounding like a word?

[supertardiness]

[He's incredibly tempted to try and see when that happens, but he manages to stay in control (will save 18). Or maybe he just gets distracted by a more important question:]

Does that question really count when it's not a word to begin with?

[withasouvenir]

I'm not the one who invented it, but I think you'd have to take it up with Webster.

[supertardiness]

"Culture-y" is in the dictionary?

[And he's going to fumble for his phone to totally look that up. And not get very far because he ... probably gets distracted by Candy Crush (computer use 2).]
