Sazra gave him a very long smile. Her eyes sparkled a little, eager to send her mind to oblivion and preferably not have it back too quickly. The thoughts that ran through her head were a mess. From realizing her superficial connection to people, to being actively targeted by gang members, to her dead little brother and the wound that would keep her away from training for at least a couple of weeks, she was ready to forget her name. The music that played inside the restaurant was slow and soothing, lulling her thoughts away.
When the drinks came, she took hers directly to her lips, drawing in some of the liquid and feeling it burn as it went down. He was answering her ponders but she was wishing to continue thinking less and less. “You make money if you win,” she told him, sighing a little. “If you’re the “owner” of your team, it’s pretty much down to you to fund it, and you’re never guaranteed to succeed.” It was a risky endeavor, she knew it, she wasn’t stupid. But she aimed to win…
She had wolfed down half her glass and some bites of cupcake when he said something about parents. She bobbed her head a little, agreeing a little, frustrated with their care. Well, her father anyway, since her mother never paid any attention anymore. “Say Chase, what’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done?” Her face became lit with the humor of her own memory. “I was once on this trip that took through the Serpent’s Pass and I wanted to see the Unagi that gave it its name,” she chuckled with some silliness, “and I ran excitedly from sharp rock to sharp rock along the slender path, eventually falling into the sea,” she shook her head, remembering the sensation of falling. She had been so shocked she hadn’t even thought to try to fly with firebending. She had been a lot younger too.
Sazra took another generous sip of her drink and noted the change in music. The song on the radio now was fast paced and energetic, it made her tap her foot on the ground, against the chair, against Chase’s leg. She laughed. “Oh I have a better one!” She said with sudden excitement, then her eyes became devious and she stared at the other firebender. “What’s the silliest thing you’ve ever done or said around a girl you fancied?” She needed a while to even decide what was silliest in the myriad of silly things she had said to the opposite sex.

"Sounds risky. But I guess you just have to make sure you win, then." he said with a grin. She seemed like she could win, as long as the rest of her team were as agile as herself. He realized that her injury would keep her from training probably for a few weeks if she didn't know a healer who could fix her up. Hopefully she did. Even if she didn't it was still possible to train, it would just be difficult to not make the injury worse, you would have to be really careful. He took a bite of his cupcake, the mint flavor filling his mouth and nose. It was definitely different. Washing the mouthful down with another swig of his beverage, he saw that it was now almost 3/4 gone. Well that went fast. He started to think maybe he should slow down, but pushed the thought away. This was about having fun, not being responsible.
He thought about her question while she she told her own response, he laughed at her story. Ya, that was pretty stupid, he thought to himself. But everyone did stupid things as a kid. Even as an adult. Making mistakes was part of life, his master always told him. "I was twelve and ran away from home because I thought I hated them all." he chuckled at the memory. It sounded so stupid saying it out loud, that he used to hate his own family. They never did anything to warrant his hatred. "I was in the woods when a giant porcupine boar attacked me, I almost died, actually. My dad ended up saving me, actually. That was the first time I ever saw him bend lightning." that moment had actually been quite a fond one. Before that moment he had never seen his dad fight before, and gained a new respect for him that day.
He finished off his drink before answering her next questions. Was she ever full of them. But their little back and forth was pretty fun, he had to admit. "Another, please." he called out to the bartender, who was standing a little ways down the bar, polishing a glass. "I don't know..." he bit the inside of his cheek in thought. "Would you consider throwing up all over my first girlfriend on our first date horrifying or silly?" he said with another chuckle "How about you?" he reflected the question back at her.
