"I... almost had sex on the bar?"

"This bar?" She eyed it kind of warily. "With who?"

Risk shrugged, acting as if it were nothing. "Yes, this bar and I don't remember. I had too much to drink."

"Really?" she eyed him shrewdly, but not as shrewdly as she might have at the beginning of the night. She was on a non-date with a drunk who didn't even like her and had sex on bars. To hell with it--she drained her second drink.

"I said almost," said Risk, giving Macbeth a look before ordering both of them another round of drinks. "Not all the way, alright? 'Sides, I already told you... drinkin's my worse habit. That, or gettin' into fights. I'm really not the best person in the world."

"You're better'n me, love," she assured him softly, awaiting her next gin. Yes, she did use that word platonically like the damn Brits--but only when she was drunk.

"Are you sure about that?" asked Risk as he handed her her drink. He was already feeling a bit buzzed but he was sure he was nowhere near how Macbeth was feeling.

"Most people are. But I doubt you'll tell me anything that really matters, so how can I know?" She took the drink and stared bitterly into it, like it held all the answers.

"I think you've had enough," said Risk, noticing the look on Macbeth's face. "Lookin' for somethin' in your drink?"

"Yeah, my mind. I've clearly lost it, or I would not be sitting at a bar with you and skipping the happy-drunk stage and going straight to the fucking maudlin stage." She said it without her usual vehemence, however, and put down her drink and sighed. She felt extremely relaxed, bordering on sleepy. Also sad and pathetic.

"C'mon," said Risk, finishing his drink before getting off his seat and offering her his hand. "Let's go for a whirl."
The last thing he wanted was a sleepy and sad Macbeth, so why not change things up?

Beth changed her mind. He was the one who had lost his mind. And she let him know by the way she stared at him. "You wanna dance with me?" She shook her head and crossed her arms; she wasn't that drunk. "That'd take a really irresistible bribe."

"Really? Like what?" asked Risk, raising his eyebrow at her. "You'd rather stay at the bar the whole night?"

((Hehe, it's Specs! *pokes him*))
"Yep," she said frankly, sitting up and considering. "Hmm. So you've told me you like to drink and gamble and make stupid mistakes with girls, all of which is true of about ninety percent of the guys in New York. So tell me something interesting that actually matters, and I'll dance." That was her final offer, she thought firmly--and she had just reached back for her drink again, so he better make up his mind before she drank herself under the bar.

Risk stared at her in awe. He already told her he almost had sex on a bar and she wanted something better? He tried to recall his best and worst memories, wondering what would satisfy this girl.
"I'm lookin' for my younger sister in Manhattan..." he explained, this time more serious. "Who probably doesn't recognize me anymore since I haven't seen her for the longest time. How's that work for you?"
