“True,” Alicia agreed with a chuckle, “That’s true, you didn’t.” She held up her hands in defeat to show that she would give him this one. But that’s where it ended; from what she remembered from her talk to Lisa, and what she had experienced just talking to James on his own, she needed a lesson or two in humility, which – she figured – would be easy enough, especially since this wouldn’t require her doing anything she wouldn’t have done ordinarily, or had done several times in the past.
“If you think I’m above this just because I don’t need to loosen up, you’re sorely mistaken,” she smirked. “I’m perfectly capable of making a fool of myself without being intoxicated, I simply prefer to remember how I did it.” The last part was probably the largest part of her reasons for not drinking: Alicia couldn’t hold her liquor, even if her life depended on it, and she had long ago learned that she would rather enjoy a long evening of fun, rather than having to be escorted – sick and drunk off her arse – to wherever she was crashing after two or three drinks. “But I don’t know what I’ll be doing up there tonight.”
Taking a sip from her drink, she considered that before she tilted her head and looked at him. “I’d considered just about everything from late 90s Brit pop to 80s glam or even back further, but just to make it interesting, why don’t you pick for me?” She looked to Lily to see if that was alright with her. James was about the last person she would ever consider doing anything other than be friendly with, for several reasons, though the most important one was Viktor. Second most important: he was her friend’s father.
