[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#CCDDCC]Nicholai couldn't help but chuckle as he shook his head. Poor Dave, looking so worried, but that wasn't reason enough for Nicholai to tell him just what exactly he was eating. Instead he quickly filled up Henrik's glass again and went back to polishing some other glasses silently.
[color=#CCCCFF]Ah moi drug, like every new visitor you worry about the food, but never about the drink.
[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#CCDDCC]Or rather he went back to polishing glasses and being a mischievous bastard, but that's the way Nicholai rolls.
[color=#CCCCFF]Bon appetit though, friend.
[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#CCDDCC]He had a hard time suppressing his laughter, and much more so the wide grin on his face, but luckily he got interrupted by Blue who happened to walk into the bar in just the same moment.
[color=#CC99CC]Nicholai!
Scaring my guests as you always do!
[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#CCDDCC]Didn't take her long to notice everyone at the bar, the lovely Vickie as she was staring off into space, Dave with a little shocked expression on his face, and of course Henrik who just sat there, looking all grumpy as he was scrubbing his side-arm.
[color=#CC99CC]Sorry for the delay darlings, had some stuff to do on the bridge.
[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#CCDDCC]Nor did it take her long to place her lovely self on the barstool next to Henrik either.
[color=#CC99CC]Missed me, Drum?
[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#CCDDCC]And, of course, it didn't take her that long to take a big risk just the same. She did do it with a warm and honest smile on her face though, and then pecked Henrik's cheek before quickly turning to Nicholai.
[color=#CC99CC]Kolja, Vodka for me.
[color=#CCCCFF]Da moi Kapitan.
[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#CCDDCC]Moment later, with a glass of ice-cold vodka in her hand and another smile on her face, she took a good and long look at everyone before asking the burning question.
