Is there a missus in your life, Honey?

[melnik]

No! [ Uh. That was aggressive. ] I mean, no... not anymore.

[southernchere]

[ damn, boy. ]

Touchy subject, I reckon?

[melnik]

I... suppose you could say that. I just didn't expect you to ask me that question.

[southernchere]

A girl gets curious.

[melnik]

Don't you think you should direct that curiosity towards someone your own age?

[southernchere]

All boys need a bit of lovin', Honey. As long as they ain't a tyke, of course.

[melnik]

Okay, but unless you're planning on inquiring with them all, that doesn't really answer my question...

[southernchere]

What's your question?

[melnik]

Why do you want to know that?

[southernchere]

It's just a cryin' shame that a handsome fella ain't got a lady or another fella to link their arms around with.

That's all, Sugah. Take it as a compliment.

[melnik]

[ Well. He could continue to protest, but this conversation will sooner drop if he accepts it there. ]

Alright... thank you.

[conflictresolution]

What is your favourite type of alcohol to partake?

[melnik]

I can't turn down a good whiskey.

[conflictresolution]

We have that in common then. Was it hard to come by where you were from?

[melnik]

[ Hah, he knew he liked Silco. ]

Since the cataclysm, yes. I am privileged to be in a position that things scavenged from the surface often find their way back to me... but we cannot grow much underground. People have taken to making vodka from fermented mushrooms.

[conflictresolution]

Where there is a will, there is always alcohol. Do you share your stocks with your allies then?

[melnik]

Of course. Whenever I am able. What sort of commander would I be if there weren't drinks to go around?

[ Uh... you know. One who didn't want their subordinates knocked on their asses at the wrong moment. ]

[conflictresolution]

Leadership is about maintaining morale as we both know. Let them have good times to forget all the bad.

[melnik]

Precisely. You understand me. Sometimes it's the only comfort a man has when the world is in shambles.

[conflictresolution]

Fortunately so. I assume the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood also work as I've read many militaries foster.

[melnik]

Yes... that was true of us as well. Which only made it more difficult when one of us didn't make it back. That's why it was so important to raise a glass together during the good times.

[conflictresolution]

I suppose. They died for the cause, and their presence will always be attached to it.

[melnik]

It seems like you know this experience yourself.
