[ It really would… not only would it be a hassle, but no one would come out a victor. Unfortunately for Yuwon though, Elysium is the sort to find an affinity in everyone he speaks to… whether they balk or smoothly reflect his words back at him, it's the variety of responses that has him brimming with delight.

He's remembering this one, Señor. ]

You hardly know me, and yet you're already assuming as much? [ He says this, but his face doesn't budge from its smile. ] How do you know that I wasn't on an important mission that required rescuing?

[yuwon]

[ it's true that yuwon naturally makes a lot of assumptions. it's no secret that he wears his judgment and perceptions quite clearly. he tended to be blunt and not mince his words, either, which is why he seems to be made certain that there was some misstep on elysium's part here. though, he does present one sliver of evidence: ]

You seemed like the only one having a good time. [ is a vague observation he's made. that said: ] If I'm wrong, you're free to correct me. [ despite how set he sounds, it's true that he wasn't stubborn enough to ignore a potential truth if it seemed to hold water. hence, he now is a bit curious to see what the issue was. ]

I was rather apologetic, I'll have you know.

[ Despite the sheer ridiculousness of the situation, he did feel bad, okay… ]

There's just not much else you can do after something's already been done. If you're truly sorry, isn't it best to show it through your actions? I let them know it wouldn't happen again.

[ And with that sigh, comes an air of finality… perhaps Yuwon will never be able to uncover this mystery, for better or for worse. ]

Anyway. What's your verbal order, sir?

[yuwon]

[ i don't know that line is cracking me up still. ]

Were you? [ it's a quick quip he makes in return. zero credibility given. granted, it's pretty clear that yuwon seemed the type who was skeptical by nature. though, he does eventually drop it. especially, since elysium did have a mature take on the entire farce.

...

until, he hears that bit about a verbal order. ] Can a bartender afford to be so mouthy? [ lol, ] I was going to choose the new item that's being recommended, but I'll just take some bourbon. [ why did i type this with my own hands. see what you led me to do here. ]
