They do seem quick to forget the benefits. I suppose they have to convince themselves that they're happier than they really are somehow.

[morethanasidekick]

It's the sexdorphins. [It's a real thing okay. Just... not a really word.] Even the miserable couples who are no longer banging uglies on the regular are practically guaranteed an endorphin rush on V-Day. Sex makes people forget how much their lives suck. [Knocking back what's left of her drink.] It's science.

[cabot]

Among its many other charming up-sides. Indeed. I suppose for the rest of us, there's alcohol.

[morethanasidekick]

Which leads to poor life choices... which leads to sex so, clearly the single people are the winners here.

[Kenzi I dont think that's how it works.]

[valdrin]

Cheers to singledom, then.

[morethanasidekick]

And being STD free since two-thousand-and-three. [As she... knocks back a shot and allows Val'drin to ponder if she's being serious or not on, so many fronts.]

[valdrin]

... That too. [ he's just gonna roll with it ]

[morethanasidekick]

[All but slamming the glass down as she's done.]

So what's your deal? Drowning sorrows or are you that guy? [A beat.] The one who trawls bars on Valentines Day, looking for ladies who are drowning their sorrows so you can maximize your chances?

[valdrin]

Not quite my style, no. I find the aftertaste always a bit lacking from such trysts.

[morethanasidekick]

See you had me until you used the word trysts. [Grinning however as she signals for another drink.] Does that make you a sorrow drowner then? Cause... I feel like I should warn you. Crying makes me uncomfortable so if you're a messy emotional drunk...

[valdrin]

Can't I just be someone who enjoys a good drink regardless of the date?

[morethanasidekick]

[She'll make a show of thinking about that one... then resting her chin on her hand as she looks at him.]

No. [And it's hard to say if she's stirring or being completely serious because. Kenzi.]

[valdrin]

[ he just chuckles, actually, and takes another drink of his own ] Fair point.

[morethanasidekick]

[One should never encourage Kenzi. Though it does endear him to her.]

I mean I can be but technically speaking I drink too much so a day where I enjoy a drink is just a day that ends with a y.

[valdrin]

Then how does one know it's a holiday? Dressing up while one does it?

[morethanasidekick]

Well that and the mocking of the people celebrating said holiday.

[valdrin]

Ah yes, how silly of me.

[morethanasidekick]

Holidays are just excuses to make regrettable life choices while drunk, anyway.

[valdrin]

I suppose I'm behind quota then.

[morethanasidekick]

Can't judge. A blind man could see I'm hot sober. [Grinning.] Now when that pot plant over there starts looking like you might buy it a drink, then you're on track.

[cabot]

You should write a brochure.

[morethanasidekick]

See you joke, but that's totally something I would do.

[valdrin]

Make certain one ends up in my mailbox, then.

[morethanasidekick]

[She regards him a moment, half amused as she lifts her glass to her lips.]

I'll even include a dedication on there for you.

[valdrin]

Well, my holiday is made.
