[Rudder rarely says anything at all and even less around anyone other than Umiko. He’s grown fond of some of the moogles who are working with the heroes of light and from time to time he’ll talk to Ventus but he is still known for only saying a few words and then picking those words very carefully. He does however glance up and give Sephiroth a warm encouraging smile before looking back down at his book.

His warning falls on deft ears. Umiko likes to drink and she doesn’t like accepting no as an answer. Granted if Sephiroth didn’t care for the spirits she’d drink it for him. It isn’t as if she’s going to let any of it go to waste, more so after paying for it. It isn’t as if she had a lot of money. She watches him take a sip, her bright eyes glinting off the light in the bar. She reaches for her own beer, taking a long gulp before returning her glass to the table.]

So you say but you can’t be so tight that you can’t appreciate the different tastes.

[Umiko’s been all over Crystallis and she’s tasted a lot of different beers. She prefers light beers but will never say no to something hoppy or dark.]

Anyway feel free to leave that there. I’ll drink it when I finish this one.

[The Navigator is blessed with amazing alcohol tolerance. Besides the fact that beer doesn’t have much alcohol in it, at least not compared to rum.]
