A few seconds after the flagons clanged together, Santiago downed the contents. It tasted like a blend of Saki and Rum, he could already feel burning in his chest and throat, but it wasn't unpleasant. The flavours seemed to compliment each other pretty well. He slammed the flagon down and exhaled, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
"Not bad" he nodded, satisfied. From the looks of things Linnea hadn't shyed away from the beverage, and had downed hers too, at least from what he could tell. She seemed a little more introverted than he was, though that wasn't a bad thing, confidence had many forms, and going by the girl's attire, career choice and apparent success she definitely had it in spades. Though he couldn't pin what form hers took.

Shifting his weaight in the seat, Santiago leaned forwards
"So... my ship or yours?" he winked.

With Santiago downing his mug in the blink of an eye, Linnea wasn't one to be left behind. Chugging down booze fast was almost like an unspoken rule in being a good pirate, and despite this lithe girl's reasonably small size, she kept up with the big man ratehr nicely; yet despite her throat being pretty tolerant of the scorchingly strong drink, her liver wasn't nearly as strong and very soon she'd find herself with a tipsy look and a visible flush on her cheeks:

"You think...?", she'd smile and giggle, rubbing her head in a humble, bashful manner as she started feeling the effects of the strong drink. She never actually had a drink this strong, and so the inebriation came a lot faster than she was used to.

She slammed her mug back down and leaned over the table, looking up into his eyes as she imagined it would be time to plan their treasure hunting adventure. What better way to bring pirates together? He asked

"I'd wager mine can carry a good bit more!", she winked, resting her head on her shoulder and laughing... This seemed like the start of a very promising partnership...
