[Voice / Action]
I'm looking for an experienced weapon-based fighter who's not afraid to risk their life in a spar. I prefer swordsmen, but what I need right now is someone who can attack from a distance, dodge effectively, and defend themselves.
I won't lie and say it isn't dangerous. Don't offer if you're afraid of getting hurt.
...That's it.
[Go go awkward! And since Asch is just itching to get out of the house - awkward home situation is awkward - he'll be spending most of the afternoon/evening in the bar, practicing his drink mixes and trying to get a better feel for bartending. He's feeling just as socially clumsy as ever but a recent confidence boosting has him sort of... cheerful. Well, his version of cheerful, which is more or less just >:| with less > but hey. Baby steps. He's up for bothering and might actually be decently talkative. ....Just don't hold your breath.]

hiding from his housematesmaking an effort to be vaguely sociable.Hey there, Asch. At least he doesn't expect you to be chatty. In fact, he is going to sit at the bar counter, and politely wait for attention, not an expectant scowl in sight.]
[action]
I assume you're here for a drink.
[action]
Show me the brandy.
[action]
If there's a specific type you want from your world, we keep the specialty drinks in the back. It's better if you just tell me what it's called.
[action]
Premium Karathos. [It'll be the one that makes his nose burn when he opens it.]
[action]
Once he has the name, though, Asch nods and heads into the supply room, disappearing for a few moments before emerging with a dusty-looking bottle, setting it down on the counter and getting a glass.]
Mixed or as is?
[action]
Neat. In a snifter.
[action]
HOLY LORELEI THAT IS STRONG]
[action]
Problem?
[action]
It's fine. [He pours the glass and slides it over to Sigmund, trying not to look like he's avoiding having to smell it.] You must've had it before to start with a drink this strong.
[action]
It's quite sought-after, in my world.
[action]
...And then promptly regrets trying it.]
[action]
...Most people drink it with berry juice.
[action]
So why don't you?
[action]
[Yes, he is implying that there are subtleties past AUGH AUGH MY TONGUE IS ON FIRE.]
[action]
There are subtleties?
[action]
[To prove his point, he takes another sip. His eyes aren't melting out of his head or anything.]
[action]
[action]
You'd be a better bartender if you gave it some thought.
[action]
And what makes you such an expert?
[action]
I didn't claim to be. It was simply a suggestion.
[action]
...Guy would probably laugh it off. Damn, that's out.]
...I'll consider it. I'm still new at this.
