[ She feels really sad now. Okay maybe Lia wasn't the best person to talk relationships with.

She tries to change the topic. ]

Relationships probably aren't for everyone. I mean, it's not written on the rules anywhere or anything, right? Besides, I have a feeling that some boys don't even know what they want when it's staring them at the face.

[takeitinstride]

The same could be said for girls, really.

[Smiling a little, and pouring another glass. The empty bottle dismisses itself, and is replaced by something else: Grey Goose Vodka.]

I think, though, that the most important thing somebody has to do before even considering being in a relationship is to stop needing one and be certain that they love themselves.

[therealbrianna]

[ She smiles at that, realizing that Lia's right; the same can REALLY be said for some girls. Especially...

OOH GREY GOOSE! She sheepishly asks Lia if she can have some as well. ]

Yeah, I understand. That's a totally mature way to go about it. Otherwise you'll kind of be like... leaning on each other, right?

[takeitinstride]

[Of course she has. In fact, here is the bottle pouring itself for her.]

Yes. It's the worst possible thing, and I hate all of this 'your lover should complete' you business. Modern bullshit.

[Scoffs.]

[therealbrianna]

[ At this point, she's just letting the bottle do its thing. Amazing, really.

She imitates Lia and scoffs as well. ]

Yeah, I really don't believe in that either. Some people should just... grow up.

[takeitinstride]

The saddest part about growing up is that it usually involves a lot of stupid mistakes.

[Shrugs.]

As long as the general stupidity stays far, far away from me, I'm good.

[therealbrianna]

[ Don't I know it...

She smiles and takes a sip. ]

You and I have that in similar!

[ Welp, she doesn't want to be around to see Lia do something about it, should something generally stupid happens. Or does she... ]

[takeitinstride]

I figured as much.

[Liandrin, at that moment, is the perfect picture of contentment.]

I think we should try to make this a regular thing.

[therealbrianna]

[ Her face perks up at that. ]

You mean... You wanna be friends? [ She says that with the biggest smile on her face. ]

Because I would really love that. And not just for the free alcohol, but for your company!

[takeitinstride]

I don't think that term really suits us, given our relationship. Think of this more as the camaraderie between a master and her favorite student of the moment.

[Deny, deny, deny.]

[therealbrianna]

[ All the sad faces, but of course she hides it. Wouldn't want Lia to be under the impression that she was being petty. ]

Oh, that's okay. I like that word! Camaraderie.

[takeitinstride]

[Oh, Brianna.]

I rather like it myself. Now, shall we continue to apply copious amounts of alcohol to ourselves until you have to go home?

[Yeah, she is enjoying this.]

[therealbrianna]

[ Hehe. She's not letting go of the fact that Lia referred to her as Lia's favorite student of the moment, but she won't press on. Just accept it as it is. ]

Sure! I'll drink to that. [ She raises up her glass and smiles. ]
