WHO: Richard Castle and Kate Beckett
WHEN: 226408.13
WHERE: A bar on Fornax, post pod-race.
SUMMARY: Caskett enjoy some drinks after a successful race.
WARNINGS: Probably none

Castle walked into the bar after the race with his arms raised high in victory. No, he hadn't won. He was somewhere in the middle of their pack of racers, but that wasn't what mattered. The important thing was that he'd beaten Kate. By like one foot, but, again, didn't matter. It was the principle of it.

When Castle learned that he had the opportunity to race one of the pods that he had seen at the track, there was absolutely no way he was letting that offer pass him by. He'd driven a lot of fact cars in his time and had even raced a few, but that was nothing compared to these pods. They seemed to zip around the track faster than the eye could even see them. He was so ready to get in the driver's seat.

Kate wanted to race too, which of course meant that they had to make it into a mini competition. The two of them always tended to lean in that direction when they played a game. Even though they were racing other people as well, Castle wanted to make beating her a priority.

And now post-race, he was celebrating his victory at a bar, where he let everyone know that Kate was buying because he had beaten her. He leaned back a bit on his bar stool, savoring his win. "That? Was awesome," he said, and that time he was talking about more than just beating her.

"It tastes horrible," she said, still grimacing as her taste buds protested whatever she had just put into her mouth. The description - like a money that peed in battery acid - that popped in her head was one that Castle had used nearly a decade ago, horrified by the coffee that the precinct had on hand. "What in the hell did you order anyway?"

She hadn't paid attention, just passed over the money because she had bet him that the winner would purchase the drinks afterward.

Kate had just expected something more palatable.

	"The local stuff," Castle replied. "It's really that bad?" What was it about a person saying that something tasted horrible that always made another person have to try it for themselves? Castle took a tentative swig of the whiskey and immediately made a face. "Wow, that's... strong," he commented, being a bit nice about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's one word for it," Kate said, turning her head to see if she could catch the eye of anyone that might be working. "You want to try something else?" she asked once she had caught the eye of someone. Even if he didn't, she did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, I'll just have a beer," he said. No joke, that rye whiskey might have been able to take paint off of walls. After she ordered, he waited for Kate to turn back around towards him. "Listen, all bragging aside, how cool was today though?" Castle grinned at her. Getting to race a car was awesome. Getting to race an alien pod was even better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"The whole thing was so 'Phantom Menace', wasn't it?" Castle loved that Kate had gone there without him even prompting. She was such a nerd. It was awesome. "I don't think I've ever piloted anything that moved that fast," he continued. "Definitely a top 5 life experience right there." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
