The sound of two shot glasses hitting the small wooden table simultaneously resounded through the bar of the small inn. They were in a corner by themslves, though the rest of the inn was filled, the crowd gave them no mind.
"You are most impressive my dear." Iroh smiled as he poured the next round.
"You're not so bad yourself old man." Jun smirked, she winked at him as she put another shot of whiskey down her throat. It burned for a moment before its warmth spread through her body. This time she could feel the heat in her cheeks. "No matter how good you are, I'm still going to beat you." She fanned her face with her hand, "Is it getting hot in here?" Jun unconsciously tugged at her collar.
Now it was Iroh's turn to wink at Jun, "Lady Jun, you are with the great Dragon of the West, of course things are getting hot." Iroh raised his glass to her and was about to demolish his 6th round.
"Wait," Iroh paused, "I have an idea, drinking each other under the table is no fun unless there is proof as to who the winner is." She circled the rim of her glass with one finger as she spoke.
"The winner is simply who lasts the longest."
"Ah, but without an audience how can we really be sure. Besides," Jun batted her eyelashes at him, "I prefer to make things interesting."
Iroh stroked his beard and contemplated a moment. "Name your terms."
Jun eyes twinkled with mischief. "The game is Drink or Dare. We challenge each other to a series of stunts, if you complete the dare successfully you don't have to drink, if you try and fail, you drink, if you refuse the dare you take two drinks."
"I accept, but what is a game without a prize." he nodded to himself. "If you win I will give you 100 gold pieces."
"And if you win?" Jun asked guardedly.
Iroh threw up his hands innocently. "All I ask for is a night of your company."
"As long as I get to say when the night ends."
"Agreed." The old general and young hunter shook to seal the deal. "This should be most interesting."
If your interested in seeing where this goes, review. Audience participation is welcome. Most chapters will be short, so I hope to update every 4 to 5 days. Time frame is right after "Bato of the Water Tribe" before Iroh, Jun, & Zuko return to the ship. Be prepared for the ensuing insanity.
