Some lizards drink by lickin' off condensation since they can't handle too much water.

Lizard facts....

I'm probably not a lizard then. I can handle a lot of liquid.

Yeah, you can.

[ innuendo intended, but she's crawling off of and handing him his glass ]

Ya pile o' horndogs.

[ Passing over both their drinks, sitting more comfortably now that he's not covered in idols and his mind is mostly off the nightgown. ]

I mean. We're Arias? What did you expect?

[Sits up once Jem climbs off]

I just mean when I was a trainee I had to entertain a lot of investors and drinking was often involved. So, I built up a strong tolerance pretty quickly?

[ Jem goes unusually quiet at the mention of his trainee period and lays down on his lap, wrapping her arms around his waist. ]

Winin' an' dinin' the top brass, huh? Always hated that part whenever I heard 'bout it from the gals. Damn fucked up that it's all 'jus' a part o' gettin' ahead.'

We had to drink and entertain a lot and some guys were grabby, but it worked out. It's all part of the game.

HaZE took JJ from a different agency, so at least it's not like that now...

[ she hopes ]

Gray's good as good a guy as ya can get in an' out o' the business, but reckon it's still rough goin' in that industry...

[ Pauses for a moment before shaking his head, pouring them more drinks. ]

Ahh, forget it! Let's see how much alcohol ya really can handle, ya horn-lizards.
