They have entered the supposedly club, Vitor curious to what was behind the door.

He almost covered his ears to the loud music and wondered what soundproof material the doors were made of. Inside, shadows, bodies, light’s, even for someone used to clubs it looked like a confused mess.

Silveira: Damn… I didn’t think it was something like this…

Lyara: This is definitely more my speed.

S. Richards: ::To Lyara:: I see some dancing in our future.

They entered and Vitor tried to find a bar or something, as a couple of Andorians passed by them. The male was wearing a fishnet shirt and tight leather shorts, and looked at Vitor languidly, licking his lips. The female with him, wearing a mini dress that left nothing to imagination, smiled and winked at Vitor.

He looked at Al and Sam and had to raise his voice so they could hear him.

oO Maybe this wasn’t a good idea… Oo

Silveira: LET’S NOT GET INTO TROUBLE…

Lyara: IF GET ME A DRINK I’LL CONSIDER IT!

Vitor began to consider this was not his best plan. They started walking to the bar, he noticed that there was a majority of Andorians and he wondered if there was some sort of event. Once they arrived at the bar, Al leaned against it and was waving at an Andorian woman.

Lyara: I think it's Andorian Pride Night! Look at all the people of various genders checking us out.

Vitor tipped his head as Al motioned around, that would explain a lot.

S. Richards: I love this for them! Look how happy they are.

Vitor smiled. That explained a lot.

Silveira: Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.

Al nervously tapped her hands on the bar as she looked at them. Vitor raised slightly his eyebrow, but looked away so he wouldn’t denounce his curiosity.

Lyara: I’ll need some confidence before I do anything ::Pointing at Sam:: I’ll have whatever you’re having.

Al got the bartender's attention as Vitor thought about what he would drink.
Thera used to prepare him a drink he liked, but he didn't remember the name.

S. Richards: Uh… W-What. I mean- H-How, would you? ::shaking her head:: What do you normally drink?

Lyara: If you have a hard time deciding I usually go for a fruity drink.

Sam's reaction surprised him, but likely she was also struggling with what to pick.
He shrugged and didn't mention the drink he was thinking so that Sam could be more comfortable.

Silveira: I’ll have whatever you both drink.

S. Richards: Can I get your best fruity cocktail here for my friends ::gesturing to Sil and Lyara:: Y’know, with a little umbrella or somethin’? And uh… Just-Just a water for me.

Both Vito and the bartender looked confused by Sam’s order.
Vitor wondered what could cause her not to have anything stronger.

Silveira: Interesting choice…

Lyara: Response

S. Richards: ::Trying to speak unsuspiciously:: Oh, I uh, I’m just not feeling like drinking tonight.

A thought crossed his mind and he looked at Sam more attentively.
He had a friend in the same condition. He smiled and tried to steer the conversation, giving Sam some cover.

Silveira: Of course, after all we don’t need heavy drinks to have fun.

Lyara: Response

He smiled and waited for his drink as he turned to both of them.
Vitor tried to confirm his suspicions over Sam but something felt wrong.

oO Nah it can’t be… I mean it might but I am certainly overthinking it. There are so many reasons for someone to ask for water. True she does sound like Tito, but she’s a smart woman and certainly doesn’t share his problem. Oo

Still he thought about coming clean with the two of them.

Silveira: I have to reveal something to you both…

S. Richards/Lyara: Responses

Vitor opened his mount stunned and began shaking his head as he frowned.

Silveira: No… But I am not going to be much fun or flirty. I have someone… I mean I have feelings for someone on board so… I am sorry but I might be a little boring tonight.

S. Richards/Lyara: Responses

The bartender arrived just in time with their order and Vitor immediately took his glass.
Apparently he succeeded in deflecting the attention from Sam, only to turn it on to himself.

Silveira: Look, it's complicated…

S. Richards/Lyara: Responses
