It all just seems like sceince fiction to me.

1] Adette was looking at a glass of water, her chin on the table, and the rest of her slumped in the chair. She sighed and blew her bangs out of her face with a defeated sound.
Life was so much abrasive with out the haze of intoxication, every sound seemed louder than before, but not startling. It was almost strange to have a clear head, and un-addled perceptions. And yet all the same, it was like missing your best friend.
"This sucks!"

Meet me in the gym. I have the need to punch someone I can't actually hurt.

Ranna sits down in the chair opposite Adette.

"'This' being...?"

[heartyourmetalwolf]

"Hey Ranna." Adette didn't pick her chin up.
"Water. I hate it. What good is drinking something if it doesn't get you drunk?" she sighed and sat up. "I haven't had a drink in like three days, I think I might kill something."

[wardeninexile]

Ranna chuckles.

"You are acting as if you are still in sibko training. I am curious though - surely the alcohol supply onboard has not ran out?"

[my_time_to_shine]

"Eh." Adette replied curtly and leaned back in the chair. "Oh no, there is plenty to be had, certinally. It's just," She frowned. "Well, it feel's like... my fight here may be ending, and I promised Gainer-" It was hard to put it all together. "I asked Gainer if he would stay with me, like, ya know, a family or something when it was time he left the Chalice. I worry the kid would die with out someone to make sure he doesn't just stay in his room and play video games all day."

[wardeninexile]

"It would be unfortunate to see you leave," Ranna says sincerely.

"And it is very responsible of you, then, to think on your charges, quiaff?"

Then a wry grin.

"What will you do when Gainer himself reaches drinking age, hm?"

[heartyourmetalwolf]

"I have no intention of leaving soon, but it's not really up to just me. Gainer's just a kid, he didn't sign up for the military. He didn't know what he was getting himself into when this all started. It's partially even my fault he get involved in exodus in the first place. I dunno I feel responsible for him." She shrugged a little. "But yeah, you're right. It's a change I have to make in myself. To one can do it for me, and if it's for him, I know I can do it but," She made a pathetic face. "It still really stinks."

Adette thought on it a moment.
"I don't really see Gainer as the alcohol type. But then, he's just as russian as I am, who knows. We'll burn that bridge when we get to it." She laughed a little bit. It felt nice to get this out in the open.

"How did you name trial thing go? I'm sorry I was so exhausted to stay the whole time."

[wardeninexile]

The Wolf warrior nods.

"Think on the bright side - you do not have to experience the unpleasantness of hangovers as well, quiaff?"

She smiles slightly.

"I won."

Simple reply, but there is a definite sense of pride there.

[heartyourmetalwolf]

"As if there where ever any doubt." The consistency of these clanner perfection was started to get a bit routine, Adette couldn't help but be the tiniest bit jealous, though she would never admit it to Ranna or Resnick.
"So what's next then? Do this come with some big promotion or what?"

[wardeninexile]

"There was," Ranna smiles. "I had to go up against thirty-one other fellow warriors, quiaff?"

She ponders for a bit.

"It sometimes occur that the Khan may give ransom to warriors for certain deeds, but I have heard nothing of it yet."

[heartyourmetalwolf]

"Maybe your where worried, but I wasn't." She pressed her lips together and smirked cutely.
"Well that's good. I mean, I was worried it meant you both where going to leave. It would really suck around here with our you guys."

[wardeninexile]

"Then perhaps you had more faith in my abilities than myself, quiaff?"

A light chuckle.

"I do not think I will leave even if I obtain a promotion. It is more likely that the number of Wolf warriors onboard will simply increase."

[heartyourmetalwolf]

"I wonder how the other residents of the ship will feel about that. You guys are going to end up out numbering the rest of us eventually." She smirked slyly, clearly sarcastic. "What will you do then? Take over the Chalice for your own?"

[wardeninexile]

"Neg, why take over the White Chalice when we already have the Ulric Kerensky in orbit?"

Ranna smirks back in response.

[heartyourmetalwolf]

"You have a point. All to often this feels a bit like a day care center. I mean, I joined the Railway at 17, but still. I'll never feel right letting kids like Gainer fight like this." She shrugged. "It's not up to me, I guess they have the right to fight for their futures too but still." Adette smiled and pushed the thought from her mind.
"I would say we should celebrate, but, eh, trying not to drink. I know if I do now, I'll just get wasted and this will have been for nothing."

[wardeninexile]

"If they are suited or designated to be warriors, then it is better that the start young, quiaff?"

Then a nod.

"However, I am aware that it does not work that way for most of the Inner Sphere. Even in the Clans one does not enter a Trial to be warrior until about your enlistment age or later."

Ranna smiles. "We can celebrate without drinking alcohol, quiaff?"

[heartyourmetalwolf]

"We could." Adette paused. "Although I'm not entirely sure what that would entail. I always just drink!" She laughed, mostly at her self, and her own ignorance.

[wardeninexile]

"Non-alcoholic drinks, copulation, recitation of the Remembrance and sharing of tales are popular among my Clan," Ranna offers. Probably not that surprising for a warrior culture.

[heartyourmetalwolf]

Adette laughed aloud. She would never stop being amused by the clanners lack of modesty about sex. "If we keep casually joking about having sex, we're going to have to go it one of these days." Used to it? Very much so. But she still got a laugh out of it none the less. "Ooooo would it make Resnick green, I bet you! He's so jealous of you sometimes."

[wardeninexile]

"Who said I was joking?" Ranna shot back with a chuckle.

"Oh, he is jealous of me? Why?" She sounds genuinely curious.
