Jezzika looked at Duke for a moment with a combination of curiosity and humor. "Cheers!" she said after a moment. "After we eat and drink, I think it's WELL about time I took a bath and washed my hair. I know prestidigitation is one thing, but I love a good bath."She put the ale to her lips and took some decent chugs, setting the glass down and saying, AHHHHH. "Drow wine is good, but THIS stuff is delicious."
"We can test this hypothesis tonight, Duke." She glances over to Jezzika. "Could have a drinking contest with the lovely little drow here, just don't cause too much trouble." She says to the construct, taking a sip of wine, enjoying the flavor on her tongue. This is what she was used to, even if it wasn't expensive, it was still good. "Then I'll arrange a meeting for you two then!" She grins, putting down her glass to finally eat some of the food she had been served. She practically moaned at how good it felt to finally have a warm meal. "So much better than rations..."
After a few more bites she goes for her wine again, nodding in agreement with Jezzika before drinking it again. "I could help you wash your hair if you'd like." She mentions casually, swishing the last of her wine before drinking it down. "We almost have the same length, and I can show you some tricks on how to keep it shiny and soft. I could even braid it for you."

Before Duke starts pounding them down, he sends Svana a quick message. "Declaration: Please stop Ash from consuming more than two units of alcohol. Secondary Declaration: Do not allow anyone to make a foolish decision while under the effects of alcohol." Duke drinks from the mug Svana gave him, confident that he can defeat the scrawnier Drow.

Jezzika nearly choked on her ale when Svana offered to wash and braid her hair. She looked at her eagerly, and said, "Ok!"her voice cracking terribly.
Then Duke wanted to get wrecked in a drinking contest, so she cleared her throat and began to show the robot what was up with a fresh mug of ale.
"Ok, get ready to get bodied!"
She took a few puffs of air, staring at the mug, and downed it.

Two gulps in, Jezzika's eyes became wide as dinner plates and she abruptly exhaled a huge spat of ale back out, coughing and choking on the ale. She pounded her chest, gasping and trying to breathe, feeling the liquid getting stuck in her throat. After a loud coughing fit, she softly wheezed out. "Wrong pipe!! Wrong pipe!!"
"Inquiry: Is this what it means to get bodied?" Duke says, as some of Jezzika's ale ends up on him. He sounds like he always does, but he has a huge smile on his face, indicating that he is making a joke about how Jezzika talked a big game but lost almost instantly. "Declaration: Even if this ended quickly, participating in this contest was an enjoyable experience. Thank you for participating in it with me." The Warforged genuinely smiles at Jezzika, grateful that she allowed him to play a game and have fun for the first time in his existence.

Svana leaned back in her seat, slightly excited to see how far the two could go before either puking in themselves or going unconscious. Unfortunately though, the contest didn’t go very far as Jezzika spat out her drink, the wizard rushing to her side to aid in whatever way she could to stop the drow from choking. “Feeling okay, dear?” She would ask sheepishly, rubbing up and down her back at an attempt to assuage any lingering pains.
She can’t help but giggle at Dukes inquiry, her hand still running along Jezzika’s spine (unless the drow pulls away from her touch). “Yes, Duke, I believe you completely ‘bodied’ her.” She waves her hand to clean the two drinkers with a smile to match Duke’s. “Both if you did very well, regardless of the spilt drink.”

The door of the inn swings open as the party has arrived from their trading, Ree'lyn still smiling as he strolls to the bartender barely glancing about at those present in the common hall. He cathed a sight of Ashryn and Quinn performing and that fed the fire of the idea he had come up with a while ago.
Talike, Step Step Thud, Gwendolyn turned into a Duergar, Enkindle and Phineas all flaunting their new acquisitions watched while DUKE and Jezzika were swallowing the cups of some beverage and then, like a sudden greenish spray, more than the cup's content came all the way back shooting from Jezzika's mouth as she choked and coughed.
Traveling all the way through the Underdark, for 20 days, fighting monsters, escaping from ambushes and natural disasters or...demonic disasters...to arrive at the grey dwarves' inn and make a mess of herself.
Avoiding direct look at that, Ree'lyn address himself to the bartender. - "Ah...these friends here and I will be at." - looking around for another table, not close to that disaster. - "that table over there. So if you might bring us meal and mead, it would be much appreciated." - before heading there he would have just one more question to be asked. - "After those two are done with their performance, would you mind if I gave it a try...you know...for entertainment sake."
"Sorry for not answering earlier but, yes I used to live here." Sliding over the plate of fried mushrooms to Talike "It's a bit off nostalgia though we should enjoy ourselves in the now."
Clearing her throat enough to talk normally, Jezzika laughed a bit before saying thanks to Svana for cleaning up the mess, and you're welcome to Duke for winning a game that was over before it began. The drow took it easy on the ale for many reasons. She didn't want to blackout tonight, she enjoyed feeling Svana's hand on her back, Duke's company was tolerable, and Huey was behaving himself, doing his best to eat and drink as neatly as possible. As they talked and drank, the rest of the team came in and she saw Ree'lyn talk to the barkeep in his suave typical manner. She rolled her eyes humorously at how charming he was trying to be constantly. Clearing her throat and coughing out the last of the mead where it shouldn't be, she was enjoying the company of her friends but felt dirty, and wanted to bathe eventually. She thought about the warm water on her grey skin, the sweet soap lathering all over her curves. She could feel Svana play with her hair, braiding, and she got goosebumps on her arms visibly. She had a dreamy look on her face and her loins grew warm with yearning as she finally imagined Svana pressed up against her, their skin and warmth becoming one and Jezzika letting her inhibitions go and leaning her head back, moaning, feeling Svana's lips kiss down her neck-
"LOOK MAMA!" Huey blurted suddenly, startling Jezzika out of her daydream violently. "HUEY ALL DONE! MORE! MORE!"
"Ghj!! Dhhh.."Jezzika went from furious to calm in about three seconds, regaining her composure. She forced a smile as best she could, patting him. "Very good! Let's get you some more?"
Duke passes the mushrooms that Ronnal offered him over to Huey. "Declaration: While I am capable of feeling the effects of alcohol, I am not capable of taste. Huey would be much better served by them."

When Svana confirmed with Jezzika that she was okay, she had returned to her seat and ordered another glass of wine for herself. It wasn’t soon til she finished her plate of food and a third glass of wine had joined her collection on her side of the table. She felt warm, happy, with a complacent smile on her face as she listened to the music playing and to the idle chatter of the group around her. Her eyes would glance over to the female drow every now again, silently admiring how beautiful she was; how the dim lighting of the tavern accented her face, how her eyes shone, her gentle smile and how kissable her lips looked, how soft her skin seemed, almost as if it were begging to be touched by her hand.
She blamed it on the wine when she caught herself looking for too long, but it didn’t seem like Jezzika was bothered by it, seeing as she was looking off into the distance, probably daydreaming about something, making her a bit curious in wanting to ask what of, but Huey had pulled her attention away before she could try. Though, it caused the wizard to chuckle a bit as she found it quite endearing how the half orc had considered the drow to be his mother, and how despite it all, she was kind to him and took care of him like a mother would. She was taught that all drow were heartless, but it was clear that through Jezzika and some parts of Ree’lyn that not all drow fit that mold.
Using her direct telepathic link (in hopes that the other could hear her more directly over SST yelling about shots), Svana questioned Jezzika, “That dazed off look about you was quite cute. Mere priya, what were you thinking about?”

Enkindle just quietly finds a seat to keep an eye on the others; especially those well into her cup. If that meant sitting apart, then so be it. Though instead of the old brooding reasons, everything about her positioning and expression conveyed a certain professionalism of a bodyguard. And she was never far from most, if it could be helped at all. The only time she lapses is to pray over her own order.

As Ash plays music with Quinn, she will check their tip jar every now and again to see if they've earned anything. She also looks to the rest of the group on a few occasions whenever the duo takes a short break between songs. As she plays, she becomes lost in thought, driven into her memories by the "sea shanty" like tunes that her and Quinn were producing, a nice distraction from the slightly obvious flirting of Jezz and Svana (even thought the sight of Duke drunk was an interesting thing to see).
Ash leans a little on Quinn as they play, getting lost in the music. But she can't help but feel the slight stinging on her back.
