Spinning her stool from side to side, Korra put both of her arms on the bar and leaned forward to watch the display.

At the tangy comment, all she could say was “That’s just because of the sea prunes.” Watching him nimbly toss things around like it was no effort at all made her want to try her hand. She was a fast study and a natural at most things, except spiritual things of course, but she was seriously impressed. Not many of the bartenders could put on a show like Dick did.

“I started doing that.” Korra said with a sly smile. Since Bryn put her in charge of stocking the bar, she had extra bottles left over and just put juice in them. She had no idea those bottles were to be backups in case others broke. “Badass?” she asked curiously with a grin. While it sounded weird, it did sound kind of cool at the same time.

Augh, god, sea prunes. Nope. Can't do those. He definitely can't do those, even knowing that they're actually supposed to be tangy... pretty sure those aren't tangy. Nope. But he would definitely continue on with the show. The two bottles begin spinning in each hand, before he tosses them in the air and starts juggling.

And to make it fun, he leaned a hip against the bar, not paying attention to the bottles he was throwing up and down in the air. "Wait, really?" Dick asked, surprise on his face. "I didn't know that was you! Nice move, really, like I said, it all tastes better if it's from an actual bottle. Kind of like coke in glass versus plastic bottles." He stopped throwing the bottles in the air, just so they were spinning back in his hands, before pouring in pineapple juice.

Both of them were set down, then, and he put the cap on the shaker, shaking it up in one hand, while he grabbed a glass in another. A scoop of ice into it, and he grabbed a small bottle, pouring a little dose of peach nectar into the glass.

"Yeah, badass. It means you're cool, awesome, no one should go up against you kind of thing." He looked up as he poured the mixture into the glass, setting. "Like you can kick someone's ass if they look at you the wrong way."

The glass is set on a napkin and pushed toward her. "You, my friend, are a badass."

Even Korra, who's one of the biggest, if not the biggest, showoffs in her home world, was impressed at the sheer level of acrobatics displayed. Whatever he said about being good with this was misleading.

Dick was downright stellar and his dexterity was something even Korra could be a little envious of.

A grin spread across her lips when the glass glided soundlessly atop the napkin.

"I think we need a badass toast to us then." No way is she not giving him credit where it's definitely due, and she lifted the glass up unable to hide the fun she was having.

He was just happy to be here, and happy to do it. When he worked at Hogan's Alley, it wasn't really the kind of place that you got to show off like that. It was more mixing drinks and tapping kegs, and making sure no fights broke out. But he'd gone online, seen what you could do, and this was just another way to show off. And perfect his already great juggling skills.

Dick was loving working here. "Okay, a badass toast. I need to get a drink." He grabbed another glass, pausing for a moment to decide what to drink. He was an adult, he could drink whatever he wanted.

He poured some of the orange juice into the glass, and then raising it up. "To us, for being the most kickass people currently in this bar. And also for looking great in blue."

[alphatar]

A clink of their glasses.

"Finally, someone who has good tastes in clothes." Completely joking. Even Korra knows how her mukluk boots, baggy pants, animal fur, and form fitting sleeveless top look out of the ordinary compared to everyone else.

"Wow, this is really good!" After the sip from the toast, Korra’s eyes widen and she’s going right back for another drink. Fruity with a tang to it, very much to her liking.

"Who doesn't love something blue, especially when it's not borrowed?" Dick joked along with her, taking a sip of his juice. He was really just waiting for her response. All bartenders waited for the response. The thing that let them know if they were good enough, or if they needed to try harder.

Making drinks, that is. "I'll keep making different ones, you can help me figure out some kind of a special drink deal." He grinned. "People love those kind of things. Drinks you can only find at a specific place."
