He's not even telling jokes...

[ Is the state of comedy in this era?!?!?! She pouts a little, thinking that she'll be wishing a year of misfortune on this guy later. ]

Mm, let's go, [ She stands up from their private table, now suddenly much more interested in the bar than experiencing everything the comedy place has to offer. At least she might get to see Shoko get a little tipsy and flushed that way.... ] Before I have to get rough with him.

[ 😳??? ]

[irreversal]

[ Shoko's standing up, too— and really, they're only two among a few others who've decided to dip— but what Yingying says has her pausing for a second. ]

Eh? On second thought, maybe we should stay so I get to see that...

[ ...But no, she's properly approaching Yingying and offering an arm so she can whisk them away to the bar! ]

[embellwish]

[ And when this guy randomly passes out on set in 3 minutes-- ]

Oh, so you want to teach them a lesson....

[ But no, she's taking Shoko's arm and promptly following her down to the bar. Thankfully, it's not too crowded because of the show going on!! ]

[irreversal]

[ Oh no... anyway— ]

I'm guessing a bar like this is a new experience for you, isn't it, Yingying? You could try something you're not familiar with. They might have some floral craft cocktails...

[ she'll take the little drink menu on the bar and hold it between them. ]

[embellwish]

Mm, we had alcohol in the village... but nothing like this.

[ So many bottles... so many glasses.... so many choices!! Whenever she drank at home, it was always a rather straightforward affair, without all the bells and whistles and extra ingredients that this menu seems to have. She taps a nail on the menu next to one of the items. ]

There are flowers used in the preparation?

[ Is that what Shoko had meant? Sprinkled throughout the menu, there are words like lavender and rosewater, which seem to point in that direction. ]

[irreversal]

[ There is also... elderflower (not a sumina mention)—

As Yingying reads the menu, Shoko presses in close to her side and gently rests a hand on the small of Yingying's back. A signal to the others lingering at the bar, perhaps, not to disturb them, though that likely won't stop them from staring at the two gorgeous ladies. ]

Sure. But there are liqueurs made from flowers, too, so it'll taste a little bit like how those flowers smell. It's not my style, personally, but I think you might like it. They usually look pretty, too.

[ But not as pretty as Yingying, ayo. ]
