Helios' head whipped back, the offered bottle in his hand, mouth to his lips. His eyes closed for a moment and he breathed through his nose as the rough liquor passed through his throat in fast, hearty gulps. He drank it as if it were water, grinning to himself between each swallow, feeling the buzz shoot down through his body, then reach straight back up to his head. It was an interesting feeling, feeling yourself actually lighten while you were drinking rather than after. Much different than wine.
He'd been expecting sake, having grown quite fond of the rough, harsh drink over his years of visiting Susa. After a few seconds of drinking from the bottle, four or five hearty gulps, Helios held it out in front of him as he took several full breaths. His eyes looked to the bottle and widened, speaking to his friend with a mock gasp, "Susa! Don't look now but someone put Jaegermeister in all of your sake! And changed the labels!"
Then a shriek shot across the deck. Helios' eyes widened for real now, whirling around just in time to see Uzume fall over the side of the ship, splashing into the sea.
No hesitation. "Susa! Hold these!" he said, shoving both the half-empty bottle of Jaegermeister and the handful of seasoned fish hors d'oeuvres into his friend's hands without looking at him. Helios' eyes were on the side of the deck where Uzume had tumbled over. "I'll sa-" The drunk, energetic sun god took a half step forward before stopping, glancing around him. Helios turned back to the bar, quickly grabbing up one from a pile of towels that had been laid out. He unfolded the towel and whipped it around his back in a single motion, draping it over his shoulders, lifting his chin and tying two ends around his neck. No smile. No grin. This was serious business.
He turned to Susa then, quickly snatching the bottle of Jaeger up and bringing it to his lips. A quick shot of courage. Helios handed it back to Susa again and turned to face where Uzume had gone overboard ten seconds ago by now. Stone-faced, his fists pressed to his hips and his chin raised, chest jutting forward like some kind of superhero. "Lady Uzume!" he shouted at the top of his voice, "I'LL save you!"
The stoic expression was gone in an instant. Grinning, Helios dashed forward, weaving between a number of other deities to then leap over the side of the boat in his best Superman pose - arms forward, legs straight, eyes narrowed. He didn't, however, fly through the sky very far. In fact, the Grecian god landed with a rather large splash.
When he surfaced he made sure to do so directly behind Uzume. Helios shot up out of the water after only a few seconds, placing both palms on her head, pushing down as he shot up. Intent to dunk her.
