They'd never be caught dead here. They barely leave the house. Riko smiled and shook her head a bit again, mostly obsessing over the soft sensation her hair created on her shoulders. "Sounds like both you and I had a fairly exciting childhood, hmm?" Until she hit the races, Riko had been such a typical water tribe girl - nothing was unique about her, nothing made her stand out. She had simply been another face in the crowd. Even though she was trying to be conservative with this glass, she noticed she was almost out of her drink. The waterbender narrowed her eyes, briefly wondering if the bartender was giving them too little, but she shrugged it off as being normal. Well if you've actually found everything then you obviously can't be searching for something you've already found. Riko shifted in her seat, and felt the liquid slosh around in her stomach. She frowned, wondered if she should have had something to eat before coming, but quickly the alcohol distracted her once more. So what do you think you're missing, then? The waterbender spun around on her barstool once, a slow revolution as she considered the question handed to her. "I guess it might be..." she said slowly, trying to formulate an acceptable answer. When she came back to facing Chase, she sat mutely for a few moments, just staring at his eyes. They were so red, like flames - she liked them. Warm colors were never common in the north, and they were easy on her eyes here. "I like your eyes," she blurted out, having nearly completely forgotten what she was supposed to be talking about. She pinched the bridge of her nose, closing her eyes, shaking her head, trying to clear her mind a little bit. When Riko opened her eyes again, the room was a little blurry, but then it came into focus. What was the question she was supposed to answer again? The alcohol seemed to have wiped it out of her mind.[/style]

"Exciting, ya, that's definitely not a way to describe it" he laughed, looking into his glass, having forgotten he finished the beverage moments ago. Sliding the glass forward, he caught the eye of the bartender, "two more." He got a feeling that the bartender didn't really like him that much, but it didn't matter. He had the money to pay for his drinks, so there shouldn't be any troubles. He refilled their sweet beverages as Chase tapped his foot to the beat of the band playing. The tune was actually pretty catchy. Or maybe it was the alcohol making him enjoy it more? Well he was enjoying himself either way. It was nice to let loose and not have to worry about anything, and the alcohol was the perfect way to enjoy the time to it's fullest. It lowered his walls that normally would keep others out.

Chase watched her as she mulled over her answer to his question, staring back at her. Why was she just staring at him like that? "I like your eyes," Oh, that's why. He couldn't help but let a small grin pull his lips as he looked away for a moment. He couldn't help but be flattered by her compliment, if only just a little. Growing up he had always been made fun of for his unique appearance, but here in the city it didn't seem to be that big of a deal. On the whole, people seemed to actually like the way he looked. Not that he really cared anyways, he wasn't here to impress anyone with looks. It was just a nice change. "Thanks, I could say the same about yours." he flirted back a little, but it wasn't a lie. He really liked the signature eyes of the water tribe, even he could admit they were beautiful.

As he ordered another two, she looked at him and wondered if he knew that his laugh was incredibly charming, and if he implemented that charm to get several girls everywhere he went. Taking a final sip as the bartender returned with two new glasses, she wondered if she was about to become one of those other girls. Although a true romantic, Riko had never really gone out of her way to flirt with boys - it took too much effort, and too much risk of change. If she were to date, and that boy were to become a constant, what if they broke up? The poor waterbender would have to start from the bottom up again, likely losing friends in the process. But that seemed all so childish, now that the drinks had started to fill her up. How many had she had now? Four? Nine? Much more than she had intended, but it would have to do for now. In response to her compliment, he seemed flattered, smiling a little. Thanks, I could say the same about yours. She blushed fiercely at his slightly flirtatious comeback. Riko blamed it on the alcohol, poisoning her system with feelings she wouldn't normally have that fast. The young woman noticed his tapping foot on the bar stool, and she grinned, an idea coming to mind as she remembered what the music was there for. "Do you want to dance?" she asked, taking a sip of her fresh drink and hopping off the barstool, stumbling a bit when she hit the floor. When she straightened up, however, her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she was ready to go. She hadn't realized how tall Chase was in comparison to her, and Riko blushed a little at this development as well.[/style]

[Chase Sato]

It was kind of weird to think that he was here getting drunk, flirting with a girl, when just a few weeks ago he was home, where something like this would never happen. Well, at least not to him. He would have never thought that the city would bring out the social side of him. Growing up in a small town where everyone knows you and your business, it was a great change to have nobody know who you were. It was relieving, actually. Some people needed the small town type of life, and couldn't handle the fast paced lifestyle that the city had to offer. People like his parents, and most of his family. He knew they would all hate it here, maybe that's why he subconsciously wanted to come here.

He raised an eyebrow at her shaking his head with a small laugh. "Me? Dance? I don't think so. I don't even think I've ever danced..." most of the time he would be too awkward, or self conscious, to get up in front of so many people and dance. But the alcohol loosened his inhibitions just enough that he thought 'why the fuck not'. Plus there were other people dancing, so it's not like they would stand out. Downing the rest of his drink, which was a little over half full, he stood up and held out his hand "Ok fine, let's go before I change my mind."

Dance? I don't think so. I don't even think I've ever danced... said Chase with a little laugh, and Riko giggled in return. "It's not that bad," the girl teased. She watched as he gulped the rest of his concoction and held out a hand to her, standing up. Ok fine, let's go before I change my mind. With a huge grin, she reached out her small, soft hand and grabbed his. Riko nearly wanted to run for the dance floor, but instead she gently led him towards the churning mass of moving people. The band was good enough to be able to play and earn a few yuans, and while they weren't fantastic the alcohol drowned it out nicely, creating a nearly imaginary beat to dance to. Once they were safely in the walls of dancing people, the waterbender took Chase's other hand and realized that she had no clue what she was doing either. She hadn't ever been so brave or outgoing, and a small wave of embarrassment washed over her, but that was swiftly pushed away by both the fun she was having and the alcohol. Her small body began to twist and turn in a clumsy attempt to dance to the rhythm, the jazzy sound of an improvising saxophone melting into the smoky air around them. Laughing, she made a little twirl, holding onto Chase's hands the whole time. "To be honest, I don't think I've ever danced before either," she laughed, finding the whole notion hilarious. Riko entwined her fingers in his more tightly, shooting him a flirtatious look with her large blue eyes. The drink was allowing her to let go for once, and it was a beautiful feeling. Riko wouldn't have even recognized herself at this point. She wondered if Chase would have, if he was normally this prone to visiting bars and talking to girls and dancing with them. [/style]
