I have notes for the unaware.

One drink is a twelve ounce beer, a four ounce glass of wine, a ten ounce wine cooler, or a one and a half ounce shot of "80 proof" liquor.

Remember that.

We do have that hot chocolate Edmund and Lucy are so fond of.

[If Peter can be arsed to lose a Man Card and drink it.]

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

[No. Just... no.]

Coffee.

[Ignore the caffiene comment from earlier. He's not losing that man card.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Making it for Peter. This gesture does not forfeit one of his own cards.]

What were you celebrating?

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

Nothing. We just had a talk.

[The latter half of what they talked about is pretty blurry though.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Over tequila?

[Eyeballing something about the coffee mate. Hazelnut flavoring does not forfeit a card either.]

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

Is that unusual?

[Hazelnut and vanilla make french vanilla flavor.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Not particularly. I don't suppose he keeps a cabinet too.

[Doing just that, but not too sweet cause this is Peter's cup.]

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

Not in his flat.

[He asked, kinda!]

Blue wanted to organise a game of poker, and I wasn't sure if you knew how to play.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

You went to his flat?

[Just curious, because he knows what else lives there. Here Peter, have your coffee with a taste of french vanilla.]

What kind of game is poker?

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

We talked about drinking habits for a bit.

[Slight shrug. Maybe Peter mentioned Caspian was an alcoholic. Maybe.]

It's a card game, where you win depending on certain card combinations. You're dealt a hand, and whatever combination you can make with that hand is what you use to win.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Didn't Peter see his notes? Do some math, High King.]

I have played card games before, but not this "poker" specifically. I can learn.

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

It's easy enough to learn. You'll pick up after a few hands.

[While Blue & Peter clean you out! Small sip of coffee. Mm, French.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I have played primero before if that helps.

[Sitting down with his own cup. Vanilla is growing on him.]

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

[Trying to associate this with a game he knows. No luck.]

I've never heard of it.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He can't associate poker with any game he knows either anyway. Sip.]

It cannot be so different. I should let you know that I am very good at card games.

[Lying? Boasting?]

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

[Staring at Caspian over his mug.]

Well, we'll just have to see. I'm quite accomplished at the game too.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Chin up, scoff.]

And you have an advantage, knowing it. Fortunately I learn quickly. You won't be bored at such a game with me at your table.

[Siiiip.]

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

Well, good. The game's much more interesting when you have more than two players.

[Pride goes before a fall!]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Shh don't burst Caspian's bubble. Night time is good for talking.]

Do you remember Eden?

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

We met her at Blue's bar, I believe?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Yes. She's still worried she may have caused a problem. That isn't the case is it?

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

Why would she have?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Quick wave of his hand. Distracted sip.]

I don't know, she asked me today that if someone had a concern she would want to speak with them.

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

About drinking? That's a bit silly.

[Sip. This is such a wacky coffee conversation.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He has to stare at Peter. But his lack of catching the subtlety is an answer enough.]

Yes, it is a bit silly.

[It is, but at least it tastes good!]
