Open Social Dantooine Drinks All Around

[Ronan Carduel]

OOC: open to Sith or criminal characters

The new cantina was throwing a party- it wasn't really a grand opening, but its first week open had been very busy. Ronan had arrived early before Nova (@LadyRen), and decided to walk around, 'mingling' with the crowd. People were still coming into the already crowded cantina. Ronan nearly ran into an already drunk patron, and caught himself on the bar. Despite already having had at least 3 drinks, Ronan ordered another, sitting down. Once he had his drink, he turned to the rest of the cantina and watched the people as they shouted, laughed, drank, and did business.

 

[Nova Trent]

While Nova was changing her clothes into something more appropriate for a grand cantina-opening, she was still wondering why she had accepted his invitation in the first place. Was this suppose to be a...date? That would just make it weird...or maybe not. They were adults, they could do whatever they wanted and besides, they knew they were going to spend time around many people. That fact that she had to even overthink this whole plan was making her angry, but while she put on her black leathered dress she forced herself to swallow her rage and to take on an attitude that would be more ready for a little party. She checked on the coordinates again and made her way towards the cantina, taking a deep breath before stepping in. She had no idea what she should expect from the evening, but she tried to keep an open mind. She opened the door and went inside, confidently heading towards the bar to order herself the first drink.

[Nyxia Starfell]

Nyxia walked into the cantina, overwhelmingly nervous. Parties weren't her thing and she was extremely self-conscious about her horns and tail as she walked among the crowd. No matter how much she disliked parties, she knew she had to be here. She was here to collect information on Sith movements. Collecting information was her forte, considering she kept her head down all the time and seemed to never be listening, when really she heard every word they said and how they said it. She sat down at a table, away from the bar but in the corner of the room so she could see everything. She scanned the crowd from beneath lowered lashes, waiting for something to pique her interest.

 

[Ronan Carduel]

Ronan glanced up when Nova walked in. She looked like the heiress to darkness in her dark dress, and Ronan raised an eyebrow when she walked up. "You actually came," he said as she sat down next to him.

@LadyRen

 

[Nova Trent]

Her eyes immediately fell on Ronan when she started to approach the bar. Of course he was there. She had been sure if it. However, she had to admit that even without his lightsaber and some fresh blood on his knuckles he still looked surprisingly good. She thought to herself that she could actually have some fun tonight. It was not only much needed, but they were also here already and it seemed as though he had already had a few drinks. "Sure. I was hoping a gentleman like you would surely invite a lady to a few drinks" she explained grinning sweetly while she slid into the seat next to him.

@Reylo4evr

 

[Ronan Carduel]

Ronan turned back to the bar, smiling a little. "You will quickly find out I am far from a gentleman," he said, tossing the dregs of his drink back to wash away the memory that word brought with it. "Drinks on me," he said. "What do you want?"

@LadyRen

 

[Nova Trent]

Nova couldn't help but to smirk. Of course she knew that already, but what she didn't know yet was how this night was going to end. When he did actually invite her in terms of the drinks, her grin grew even broader. "Give me something strong. We might as well start this right" she replied with a shrug, secretly hoping that he would do the same.

@Reylo4evr

 

[Ronan Carduel]

Ronan smiled. Both of them were already a little tipsy from earlier, but he supposed a couple of strong drinks couldn't hurt. He ordered two glasses of Mustafar whiskey, and took a sip, clearing his throat as it burned its way down. "That strong enough for you?" he chuckled, his voice a little raspy.

@LadyRen

 

[Nova Trent]

When he agreed, Nova's grin broadened just a little more before she gratefully grabbed her own glass. Whiskey was fine. The bitterness usually fit her mood. She slowly took one sip when he did the same, realizing that it was indeed strong. "Just right" she replied amusedly before taking another sip. "So Ronan tell me. What are you doing here on Dantooine ?". She was surely a little curious, especially because she remembered that a few hours ago, the man had looked everything but delighted.

@Reylo4evr

 

[Ronan Carduel]

Ronan was mildly surprised when she showed little to no reaction at the burning whiskey. It reminded him of someone else who could put away alcohol rather well, so Ronan leaned forward, resting his elbow on the counter of the bar. "What a wonderful question," he said, taking another swig, and grimacing as it went down. He relished the way his throat burned. "I am here because I am bored and needed a distraction from Moraband," he said, which wasn't totally a lie.

@LadyRen

 

[Nova Trent]

Nova eyed the man carefully, already expecting that he would either lie or cloak the truth. Well, after all she couldn't actually blame him. They barely knew each other and Nova was usually mistrusting herself, so she knew that she would also be rather careful, but at the same time she felt like the alcohol was already loosening both of their tongues. "Moraband? Oh interesting. Tell me more. What were you doing there? Visiting your wife?" she suddenly blurted out grinning without thinking twice. Well that question was interesting, because this would also reveal his...well...status. Not that she cared though.

 

[Ronan Carduel]

Ronan raised an eyebrow at Nova and couldn't help letting out a burst of laughter. "Do I look like a married man to you?" he said once he had gathered himself. "And why do you care?" he continued, easily turning the conversation back to her.

@LadyRen

 

[Nova Trent]

Nova simply scoffed, trying to play her attempt down. "No you surely don't. That was just a joke, you know? Honestly I couldn't care less about what you do in your free time" she shrugged, even though this answer was surely interesting. She grabbed her drink again and emptied the rest in one big gulp.

@Reylo4evr

 

[Ronan Carduel]

Ronan set down his glass as Nova gulped down her own. Just one glass of that stuff was enough to make one drunk. "You're the one who asked," he said. "So you must care some," he countered, giving her one of his trademark charming smirks.

@LadyRen

 

[Nova Trent]

She had to admit that this alcohol was stronger than expected and she was starting to feel really tipsy. It was a good thing that she was still sitting, but she couldn't help but to giggle a little, even if she rarely ever did something like that. "Thaaat doesn't make sense. It was just a random question" she replied as convincingly as possible.

@Reylo4evr

 

[Ronan Carduel]

Ronan chuckled to himself as he could finally see the effect of the whiskey setting itself upon her. "How do you feel," he asked. Somehow her chair had ended up closer to his and he wondered if she had subconsciously scooted it closer.

@LadyRen

 

[Nova Trent]

Nova tried her best to keep herself together but it became increasingly more difficult. Also, she felt like she could actually use not only the distraction but also to let go again. "Hate to admit it but I feel greeeeat. How 'bout you?" , she replied while tilting her head slightly to the side. She forced herself to stay focused, but right now she couldn't even hold on to her usual wrath.

@Reylo4evr

 

[Ronan Carduel]

Ronan chuckled to himself. "I feel better than I did earlier, that's for sure," he said, knocking back the rest of his own whiskey. He coughed as it went down but then smiled at Nova. "Care to dance?" he asked, extending a hand.

@LadyRen

 

[Nova Trent]

Nova couldn't help but to raise an eyebrow at his sudden coughing. "Was that too strong for you?" she asked with a smirk, teasing him a little, before she got back to her feet. "Sure, why not" she then added, realizing that the alcohol surely had its first effects on her. Normally, she wouldn't start dancing, but right now it felt like a good idea.

@Reylo4evr

 

[Ronan Carduel]

Ronan took Nova's hand and led her onto the dance floor. There was a moment where he didn't know what to do with his hands but he settled for resting them lightly on her waist. He kept his mouth shut, but watched her, amused.
