Her smile grew more warm, and Ragmar felt a little stirring the more it widened. She really was beautiful, a proper, proper 8, and while he wasn't really the best with women, he wanted to try. Why not, he was celebrating, wasn't he?
"Definitely. Strategy isn't for everyone but if you're the kind of person to love plays, well, there's nothing better." His own smile widened the more they talked. He couldn't believe his good luck.
Her toast might have felt emasculating to some, but Ragmar took it in stride. He lifted his glass good naturedly and knocked it back, feeling warm all over. His smile was wide now, and he felt GOOD. "I WILL bring them success!" he cried, his conviction increased thanks to his many celebratory drinks. He felt on top of the world.
"Say, um...would you maybe want to come have a couple more of these at my place?" he asked, his eyebrows lifted in hope.
